When I was your age, we didn't generate slop with AI. We googled it, found it, and pasted it in ourselves.

Chuck Norris held a 183-10-2 record and was a 6x world champion in full contact bare knuckle karate. On top of that, he beat heavyweight kickboxing world champion Joe Lewis 3 consecutive times and also had a brutal sparring match with undefeated kickboxing world champion, Bill Superfoot Wallace, that lasted an hour and a half. According to Wallace, they practically stalemated and "beat the crap out of each other". Chuck was trained in kickboxing/boxing by Benny The Jet Urquidez and was also trained in BJJ by the Gracies and Machados for 20 years. Even being able to submit Carlos Machado himself on occasion. Chuck had a 315 Ibs bench press at 180 lbs bodyweight and was said to have a grip back in the day that nobody could escape from because he was so strong. Even Jean Claude Van Damme said he'd never fight Chuck Norris, despite being a kickboxing world champion himself. Chuck held a 10th degree black belt in Chun Kuk Do, a 9th degree black belt in Tang Soo Do, an 8th degree black belt in Taekwondo, a 5th degree black belt in Karate, a 3rd degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and a black belt in Judo. Rest in peace, Chuck!

He was using drugs between holes at Augusta National. Contemplating suicide for two decades. Couldn't walk into rehab without help. Today he just beat two of the best golfers alive. One of, if not the greatest sports comeback stories of all time: Anthony Kim. Father. Husband. Three-time PGA Tour winner before age 25 - alongside only Tiger, Phil, Sergio, and Adam Scott. Then his Achilles ruptured in 2012. He vanished, for twelve years. He was battling drug and alcohol addiction daily. Using during majors. Making bathroom stops between holes just to get through the round. Contemplating ending his life for almost two decades while the world thought he was living the dream. His body eventually shut down. He could barely walk into rehab. His wife Emily and daughter Bella pulled him back. He got a second chance with LIV Golf in 2024. Finished dead last. Didn't earn a single point in two full seasons. Got relegated from the league in August. Most people would've quit. He showed up every single day and worked to get 1% better after being cut from the league. He earned his spot back through a qualifying tournament on pure merit. Today, in the final round at LIV Adelaide, playing alongside Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm - two of the biggest names in golf - he came back from a 5-shot starting deficit and has just shot nine under to win the golf tournamnet. This man was ready to leave this earth. Now he just did the unthinkable. If that doesn't prove you can come back from anything, nothing will. It's never too late. @livgolf_league @AnthonyKim_Golf #LIVGolfAdelaide

This may be a hot take, but modals as a UX are a design smell. I believe that if you find yourself popping a modal in your UI, then something was missed which caused yourself to be painted into that corner.

Around 2020, after decades of using Windows, I went all-in on Apple. From Macbook to AirPods Pro and everything in between. A lot of their stuff is great, but a lot is actually quite bad. Case in point: Apple Music. I've tried and tried to use it, but it's just terrible
