It's a shame, I used to browse Pinterest for woodworking ideas. A year ago, I noticed some of the results were AI generated. Now almost ALL results are AI generated, included the obviously scammy ads they put in everywhere. If someone

Let me tell you, it is absolutely not ok. The family does notice who is and isn't at the funeral and they WILL assume you are just not emotionally involved. I have seen this scenario play out. Don't be surprised if people stop sho

"On a farm, a child is an investment. In a city, it's a liability". In the past few decades, we have globally seen a massive shift towards living in a city. Even in times of war and pestilence, people needed extra hands on th

No comment would have been better than this comment. Now both the software and its defenders sound really hostile and off-putting.

The best advice I can give you: create maximum opportunity to regularly meet the same people, in a casual setting. By that I mean join sports clubs, hobbies, church, reading clubs, volunteering, anything really. Pick as many as you can hand
