But also, when was he not deranged in the past 15 years?

Yep! I wasn’t justifying them.

I might be wrong, but I believe ONE OF the reasons why American police is so shitty is because every citizen might be—and often is—carrying a gun. This causes stress in the police force, higher chances of casualties among them as compared to other countries, so it builds feelings of fear and “acting first, asking later” in most situations.

Sure, many of them are also power-tripping assholes on top of that.

I could give you a few real-life examples where it’s been helpful to me, but honestly, there are probably hundreds more depending on the person—as long as it’s used properly and not treated as flawless or final.

I’m a kindergarten teacher.

1. I describe what we’ve done in class, and it turns that into a short caption for the school’s daily social media post. Saves a bit of time.

2. For weekly assessments, I speak freely about each child’s week, and it generates a well-written comment. That’s a moderate time-saver, and I learn better phrasing from its output as I’m a non-native English speaker.

3. It helps me brainstorm new daily activity ideas based on specific goals or parameters. I choose the ones that fit and tweak them as needed.

4. When I’ve tried multiple strategies with a difficult child, I use it to get fresh suggestions for guidance or behavior management. I still apply my own experience to decide what works best.

5. It helped me plan a trip based on location, time, and several other factors—and it provided a lot of useful details I hadn’t considered.

6. It’s replaced Google for many tasks: it’s faster, often more accurate (if prompted clearly), and definitely more efficient for basic info.

7. I also use it for translation, and in many cases, it gives better or more natural results than Google Translate.

8. It helped me rewriting this very comment (till point 7) as I’m busy with something else so I saved time spellchecking and rephrasing.
