...or ignore your own advice and prolifically continue posting. What did they call it when a person says one thing, but does another? That's right, two-faced. TTOC!
I'm down the street at the pool while a couple of grandkids are swimming and I'm reading Oppenheimer American Prometheus. Hopping on here with the hopes you've gone away!

You just seem to have a fixation on me. What's up with that? And dredging up old posts. Get. A.Life.

Hot here at the pool! I did the gym this morning.

Have you had any fun today besides tracking my movements like Marcus is prone to do?

I'm a bit concerned about you.

Grandkids arguing a bit in the pool.

:lol: of course that’s where you were ;) I notice you return to double spacing whenever you’re under pressure. When you’ve been caught out or proven to be wrong. Like you’re frantically typing something out without thinking. It’s a “tell”. I suppose I could be wrong and it’s a deliberate action designed to annoy. Or even a cognitive problem that you’re dealing with. Your OP and your post count is further evidence that you do not practice what you preach. Keep it up!

I'm not sure about the reason, IHQ - it seems to be (almost) every comment now, so I suspect that MG is poking Dr Shades in the eye with this practice. I expect that in his mind it's justified - I could be wrong, but ...

To be honest, and I am being honest, this is a form of writing I've sort of become habituated to. I have to conciously pull myself away from using spacing as an emphatic device. A number of times since Shades has laid down another law I've gone back and moved text around and bunched it up into larger blocks after having used that gosh durned return key.

At the pool yesterday I was distracted with kids playing in the pool and a book. I guess I shouldn't try and walk and chew gum at the same time as the saying goes.

I agree. He's poking Shades in the eye with this method, and he's also gone back to disrupting a thread with lengthy and useless posts talking about AI and how it can't be used as a tool (he's absolutely wrong, of course). He's not honest, and he's just here to troll and disrupt.

No, not poking Shades in the eye. No, posts are not useless. Encouraging others to follow up on what critics are saying through plugging posts into A I. is something that I think everyone can be on board with. Of course, with the caveat that one should follow up with links given within Perplexity or another A.I. information source.

I am being honest and no, I am not here to act as a troll. What I will say, however, is that you are inaccurate in your posts (the kind way of saying that you're not telling the truth).

Is that chip on your shoulder weighing you down?

No, not poking Shades in the eye.
Then how do you explain your continued inability to comply with our hosts simple request regarding spacing? Laziness? Incompetence?

Yeah, something about being distracted and in a rush. So it's incompetence then.

No. By the way, what's with these rash judgments/generalizations? They are just as bogus and unreliable as a number of your posts that purport to be giving the 'straight scoop' on one topic or another.
