Oh, great, now I’m going to notice this one too. Thanks for causing me more consternation.

You have an unnecessary comma in there.
“I see your pedantry, and raise you triple-dog pedantry!”
Ah, there you are.
The apostrophe thing really grinds my gears. Especially “it’s” vs “its”. It’s not very hard, “it’s” is a contraction meaning “it is”. Otherwise, it’s possessive. This homonym is its own worst enemy.
I hate that “jealousy” has devoured “envy”. “Language is fluid”, they always say, but those two words have very different meanings!

Both mentally and your actions in the real world.31·3 days agoI’ve never met a “normal” person in my life. We are all crazy, just in different ways. It’s about understanding and managing it in order to appear “normal”. For some people, it’s meds. Others, obsessive hobbies or work. It’s about understanding what makes you crazy and addressing it. I don’t have all the answers, but you are far from alone in being “crazy”. In fact, you’d be crazy if you were the only normal person.

The only cabal at work here is basic human greed. Anytime you want to know why people do something, consider the motivation of the person and the incentives. Musk constantly talks about how autonomy will make his company worth “trillions”, and he wants that because he’ll keep maxing the high score in Billionaire Bastard Bacchanalia.
He can claim noble intentions, but as you said, the game is simply to make Number Go Up. That it causes untold harm to others isn’t even an afterthought.
I’m like you, life has been going well for me. And I did get cancer! So remember, if you drink your milk and get good grades, you too may get cancer.
