So the wife pointed out that I'd got a bit too obsessed, fanatical with the autism books. So I thought I'd try a bit of fiction I'm reading service model, which is about a robot who may have emotions it doesn't understand, trying to make sense of the world now it's task queue is empty. “Please clarify the parameters of proactivity that you require from me.” So, yea it's not much of a change from what I was reading. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/195790861-servic...

Latest in only gen x on team drama. I&#39;m being told that &quot;instant messaging&quot; is asynchronous and that they don&#39;t expect instant reply. But if you don&#39;t want instant reply send an email. The look I got from the whole team when I said &quot;am I just being painfully gen x about this&quot; was withering. Even over zoom. They even explicitly gave me permission to not reply immediately.

I think one thing with UK politicians on all sides is that they believe their own bs. You expect them to say things like &quot;I&#39;ve a historic mandate for change&quot; even if they have a tiny share of the vote. Saying it is ok, but of they actually believe it then they are truly lost.
