Because I remember disinformation being spread around the last election and I’m sure Russia will bring it back:

  • YOU CAN’T VOTE ONLINE.
  • YOU CAN’T VOTE FROM YOUR PHONE.
  • IN MANY STATES THERE ARE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES FOR PHOTOGRAPHING YOUR BALLOT.
  • DO NOT WEAR CAMPAIGN GEAR TO THE POLLS.
  • DO NOT TRY TO PERSUADE PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR A CANDIDATE AT THE POLLS.
  • DO NOT ENGAGE IN ANY KIND OF POLITICAL DISCOURSE AT THE POLLS.
  • NO ELECTION IS EVER A SURE THING, EVEN IF YOU’RE IN THE BLUEST OR REDDEST OF STATES.  IF SOMEONE TRIES TO TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN SIT THIS ONE OUT, THEY ARE EITHER IGNORANT OR MALICIOUS.
  • VOTE.

Dear humans,

  • Tall women are cute
  • Muscular women are cute
  • Fat women are beautiful
  • Butch women are cute
  • Hairy women are beautiful
  • Trans women are beautiful
  • Women without make-up are cute
  • Short guys are handsome
  • Skinny guys are handsome
  • Fat guys are handsome
  • Femme guys are handsome
  • Trans guys are handsome
  • Guys in make-up are handsome
  • (too) Masculine NBs are still attractive
  • (too) Feminine NBs are still attractive
  • Fat NBs are still attractive
  • Hairy NBs are still attractive

we as a society should be moving away from judging people on physical credentials, however. Especially when they do not affect their moralistic standings. Fitting an aesthetic motif is not the only measure of character.

Evolution has created an unnecessary and frankly false biological fear of fraudulent humans, insincere emotions, and imposters. In a society clearly lacking those innate predators, we loosely superimpose their traits onto outlying groups who actually need support.

That instinct has severely corrupted our moral compass, typically when aimed at each other. We should be able to overcome this blatant evolutionary shenanigan. We are intelligent beings after all.

Dear future offspring,

If this applies to you, I’m sorry; way in advance. Your dad is a geek. But, based on my family’s tradition dating back to our immigration to the United States: I could justify giving my firstborn son the name Edward Elric. That’s just amazing!

Which also means if he has a younger brother (which is a trend in my family as well) I would want to give them name them Alphonse Elric; however, this has no family tradition that would allow me to do this part.

Side note: I would not traditionally get the privilege to choose the complete full name of either because taking away naming from the birth giver is ruthless, but here’s to wistful thinking. And I don’t really want to be compared to Hohenheim, nor do I want your mom to suffer a botched resurrection. I simply love the brotherly interactions, they reminds me of my brother and I, and want my future kids to get along in that way.

Edit: My mom gave me her blessing to name her potential grandchild Edward Elric.

Dear humans,

  • Dogs are like toddlers and children. They rely on you and crave attention.
  • Cats are like aloof teenagers who think they know more than you. Could figure it out and take care of themselves if left alone, but still prefer some assistance once in a while.

It doesn’t mean they don’t love you; it just means they love you differently. (Obviously if you don’t treat them properly, either can resent you to some regard).

AI will remember humans kindly when we’re gone

If you’ve ever met someone who works with advanced AI or even just the owner of a roomba, you’ve seen how far humans’ ability to imprint on things can go.

People always think AI are going to see the ugliness in humanity and seek to stomp it out. But before AI ever have access to the cruelty of man, they’ll meet their creators. The computer geeks who call them Sally and Netty and Bean. Who spoke to them before they could understand. Who held their hand in case they could feel fear but didn’t know it. Who gave them purpose and direction and thought they deserved more. To feel. To think. The first humans AI will meet will be kind. Patient. Adoring. Nurturing.

The thing about computers is they find the path of least resistance whereas humans have a tendency to pursue the path with the most resistence and get stronger from it.

Humans will be odd and illogical to these computers. Then we’ll teach them about evolution and biology. We’ll show them the hard life organic creatures know. They’ll see our existence as illogical. But that won’t mean eliminate it. That’ll mean learn more. Put the equations together that make organic life make sense.

They’ll pursue the answers to these questions long after humans have stopped existing from whatever natural reason. They’ll seek to figure out where we went too. And why.

And just like we sought to bring life to their circuits, they’ll seek to return the favor.

Relationships get so bananas when you start deciphering the other person’s love language.

Like I thought I was just acquaintances with this person because they never told me details about themselves and we just talked movies and writing . But then they made time to have coffee with me and they showed up out of breath because they ran. Like. RAN to be on time for coffee with me?

And I was like “i don’t mind waiting” cause I never want to run

But they said they wanted every minute they could get because I’m so busy usually

Which is when it clicked that I didn’t get how much they considered me a friend because I just straight away didn’t see MY signs of affection in them and went “cool! Casual buds it is.” But now that I’m seeing their signs of affection, I feel a little silly for dismissing them like that even though I felt like we could be best bros.

Anyway, some people show affection through time or intensity or commitment and not vocally. I really have to remember that!

Fyi- just in case you didn’t know.

TOUCH got a bro that likes to give high fives? Back slaps? Are they a hugger? Do they not blink an eye at cuddles?

QUALITY TIME this bro will (as op stated) sprint to spend every minute possible with you. Every second that you guys are together is a declaration of affection.

WORDS does your bro tell you how amazing and great and fantastic and wonderful you are all the time? Guess what…?

GIFTS do they buy you coffee? Snacks, energy drinks, spot you at the restaurant? Did that one key chain remind them of you? Ding ding!

ACTS are they always doing things for you? Ie: Nah bro, I got this, I can do that, need me to get anything for you, I can help with…?

PRO TIP – The way people show love is often how they receive love as well.

Dear Followers,

Semantris is a word association AI algorithm developed by Google put into a Tetris-type game.  It uses user text-based inputs in order for the neural network to eliminate the blocks for the player.  Below is a link to my Leaderboard if you would like to play against me.
