If it's ok to ask I'd love to know more about the way your experiences with different things have been different compared to what other people experience. Have things been more muted, no visuals, things like that?

This influencer conservative cult abuse documentary has one of the kids' parents (a total enabler of the abuse) asking "what does emaciated mean?" And apparently they know enough to emaciate kids in the cult but not enough to know that word?

Good news about the cutting-edge AI tools from the $3-trillion-dollar company.

Google AI search result for “was 2010 fifteen years ago?” returning: “No, 2010 was 14 years ago, not 15 years ago. The current year is 2025, and to find the number of years ago 2010 was, you subtract 2010 from 2025, which equals 14. Current Year: 2025 Past Year: 2010 Years Ago: 2025 - 2010 = 14 years”
