I think it’s normal for people to be mad at each other sometimes even if they’re close friends or family or intimate with each other. Like I think that’s a normal and healthy part of relationships that can happen sometimes

“Why were you on Mad At Me island” because at the time I was mad at you and yet our friendship has weathered that without trouble

I went to Mad At You island because my feelings are my problem. I needed to stomp down the beach until I could sit and watch the sunrise. I built a sandcastle and did some thinking. Then I boarded the good ship You Matter To Me and sailed it all the way to meet you on the Let’s Talk Shore of I Love You Island.

For anyone wondering, the PhD student's name is Myra Cheng.

Here's a link to an article about the study from the Stanford Report: link.

Across three preregistered studies, participants interacting with sycophantic AI became more convinced of their own rightness and less willing to repair relationships. Yet at the same time, participants rated sycophantic AI models as higher quality, more trustworthy, and more desirable for future use, which may explain why this behavior has persisted despite its harmful impacts.

My hands have been really itchy the last two days and unfortunately I have the “Can’t Not Scratch” disorder so they’re itchy and also red and weird looking

I'm coming to realize how vital it is to keep a running list of shit you did in the past few weeks so that you can participate in small talk. It's literally not anything to do with them being interesting at all it's just having Something to say to give people even the barest thing to hold on to. It's so you don't get into the "what have you been up to" "nothing much what about you" "yeah same" trap. Literally just say something.

What have you been up to? Um well it's getting warmer so I've been having to brush my cat every day.

Like no it's not that interesting of a thing to say. But now they can respond to it. They could say, man yeah it really is heating up, I've been trying to think of things to do inside more often. Or, oh you have a cat? What's their name?

Like. It's Something. All you need is Something. And if you're like me and your brain immediately goes blank upon entering small talk then keeping a list will help you remember things to say.

I has recently occurred to me how ubiquitous the culture of going away to college, living on campus, and getting at least a bachelors degree was in my town/community/high school/friend group in high school. Like from 18-25 (when I finished my degree lol) I was sooo ashamed and hated myself so much for failing at getting my degree on the “correct” timeline and living on campus and going to parties and etc.

C made a financial decision that doesn’t really impact me last week and it’s not one I would have made and it’s not going as well as he had hoped 😬 he didn’t ask my opinion or anything (not that he needed to!!!) but I definitely would have suggested not doing it if he had 🫡

The website for the pizza place I order from for a class that meets Wednesday nights was down and I have a rewards coupon I was going to use but the site wouldn’t load so I found the coupon code in my email and then I called and did the order but whatever system they use to do the code was down too
