Things were doing well for the past 2 years, especially when I had a job for about 10 months. Unfortunately, the money has run out and I've been skimping on gas & electric. Well, now I have a turn-off notice. I need $4463.07 by September 8, 2026.
I'm currently in crisis mode. If any of y'all can help out, please do. I'm 2 months behind on both mortgage & electricity. My food stamps got removed due to a glitch in their system. (New application processing.)
If I can get $1000, I might be able to tread water instead of sink and die. #Support
Guess who's back!

This is why it was a good line, because yes there are Americans who think of The Cheesecake Factory as a special occasion restaurant but Trump is not one of them. So thank you very much Donald for taking the bait.
Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

In the last few weeks i've been bombarded with emails from people who have minor tech support problems. ChatGPT is telling them to email me, writing their emails, and compiling "evidence packets" after convincing them they have stumbled on a major story:

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today.
Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.
So, I like a little cinnamon on my pancakes.
Something that has never happened prior to this DB, but has happened EVERY MORNING so far... I've accidentally grabbed the Old Bay instead of the cinnamon. I've caught myself before I shook it every time, but I don't know what's happened to me.

I'm curious if anyone writes writing prompts for themselves.
Not to give to an AI. To give to YOURSELF.
Instead of an outline only you would understand, or just diving into a blank sheet, write out instructions as though you were delegating to someone else.
Only instead of that, YOU use them ๐ค
