I want to own up to my responsibility for today's stock market decline.
This happens every time I invest.
The value always decreases within 24 hours.
When I get tired of losing and sell to cut my losses, everything will go back up.

Microsoft: "You will pay us money to use our products. Also, we will take your information and sell it for more money. No, we won't share the profits with you."

It was right on the tip of my tongue. But I had to Google it.

I'm still waiting for an AI assistant worth paying for.
I want an AI assistant worth paying for.
I'm watching and hoping for an AI assistant worth paying for.
They won't be free forever.
But right now, they aren't worth my money.

It just occurred to me that dating apps could be problematic if you're dyslexic.

In Outlook, I finally figured out how to make the "Send Adobe Link" suggestion begone.

File - Options - Add-Ins - Manage COM Add-Ins - Go - Uncheck Adobe Document Cloud

@opie I'm sure they're sincere. The danger is being sucked into their quicksand of despair.

This morning on LinkedIn I posted, "Beware of cynical voices on LinkedIn." You can probably guess what kind of people were offended by that, and they fought back with their comments. Don't care.
As a side note, from context clues in some of the answers, there are a lot of people who don't know the difference between "cynical" and "skeptical." Those people were also offended.

Wanna hear a Japanese band play some kick-ass New Orleans blues? Watch this performance from the Blue Note in Tokyo. It starts with just two guys on stage (drums and bass) and then builds into something amazing.

Let a big ship hit a big bridge and suddenly everyone's an expert on maritime navigation.

On NCIS tonight, the Agent in Charge of the Far East office pronounced Yokosuka as yo-ko-SUE-ka. That seems - unlikely.

@corlin Thank you so much!

"You don't become cooler with age, but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way of being cool. This is called the Geezer's Paradox."

@BillieBun I finally decided to test a few years ago. The important thing for me is to not use it as an excuse. It's not an excuse for anything. But it explained so much. I very rarely tell anyone. This is the first time I've publicized it on social media. But it was helpful to me to know. I found it comforting.

BTW I thought maybe I should clarify. My post is in no way derogatory. I'm borderline on the autism spectrum myself. My test results: "Shows significant autistic traits." I do okay. Six figure income, college professor, consultant to private technology departments. But it can be exhausting to fit in. "I'm supposed to smile now." "I need to make brief eye contact." It occurred to me that introverts might just need a break from "fitting in."

I wonder how many introverts are on the edge of the autism spectrum and just don't realize it.
