  • I used it to write a kickass counteroffer for an internal job promotion. I was pissed off with the offer and wrote out what I REALLY thought. I asked GPT to clean it up and respond with and upbeat and positive response where I’m eager to work with them.

    ChatGPT about to help me get an $18k raise.




  • I found out that it’s caffeine. I always thought i just naturally wanted to stay up until 2:30am, and then be okay waking at 6am for work.

    Turns out that when I drink even a single cup of coffee, it totally fucks up the thing in my brain that tells me I’m tired.

    So I started the lengthy process of cutting out all coffee…and after a week or so…holy shit…I was EXHAUSTED by 9:30pm. Like, I’d fall asleep in my computer chair at like 10:30. My sleep started to regulate. I felt so much better.

    Like, you don’t realize how much of your brain is operating in this hazy fog…until you’ve slept properly for a couple weeks. I could concentrate on things, I wasnt so lazy. I WANTED to do more things.

    …and how do you enforce it? No one is going to want to give up the land that they worked for and purchased themselves, or that they developed. Give up your rights or we imprison or kill you?

    And who controls this enforcing agency? The single party government? Because you can’t have multiple parties…how do you prevent the government from taking advantage of their position? Like, I don’t think communism is this magical fix-all that you think it is.

    Communism inevitably will always lead to dictatorship and totalitarianism.

    In order to become a communist state, you have to: 1.) Get a bit army or group of people to enforce the upcoming rules. 2.) Force people to get rid of private ownership or threaten them to give it up. This will piss a lot of people off. 3.) Get rid of them if they don’t. This will piss a lot of people off. 4.) Realize that you’ve pissed a lot of people off, and that your the only power in the land, you definitely don’t want to give this up. 5.) Enact a single party system…oh, fuck…

    Communism doesn’t work on a large-scale, and it’s not sustainable. By it’s very nature it’s extremely prone to abuse, and fundamentally impossible to install any sort of checks and balances on a single party-system. Look how bad it is with a two-party system in the US.

    It’s why education is so important. It’s also why the rich (a.k.a. the Republican Party) want to gut education. An uneducated population is so much easier to manipulate - why rein in the Supreme Court, the 1%, or the government when minorities are the cause for all of your problems? It’s the same tactic that’s been used and nauseum for literally millennia. It’s tried and true, and only education will stop it. Hell, global education is the reason we are even in such a golden age right now…

    I just hit no tip and say thanks! And walk out. It’s not difficult.

    What are they going to do? Make a scene? I pray they would.

    I’m sorry, you tell me what fucking service I’m tipping you for? Do you tip your plumber? Do you tip the attendant at a roller coaster at a theme park? Do you tip front desk attendant at a hotel? No…pray tell, why do you think you need a tip for pouring me two-hour old hot bean water? Did you grind it by hand at my request? Did you personally see to it that I received only the very best beans at ye Starbucks roasteries? No? Then fuck off.
