Used to have a mama bear that lived in my backyard in the lake Sunapee area. Then one of her babies decided to climb up a 40 foot tall tree. Not fun..

“Reading comprehension” is a valuable skill.

Speaking of literacy, there shouldn’t be quotes around the “reading comprehension”

As I geospatial kind of person I feel like I should point out #1’s question could have been foundational if either you OP (taking the picture) or the bear (striking the vogue pose) was across the border in Vermont and the light from the photograph bounced back and forth across said border. It’s the conceptual equivalent of Schrödinger’s cat, only the bear is alive and shitting in the woods across conceptual lines humans utilize for statecraft.

Also #1… I reckon we’ve reached a point where we can put quotes around anything for emphasis because autocorrect turned people into robots so it’s actually idiosyncrasies in grammar that show your talking to a human rather than an AI bot. The grammar of humanity is evolving. 🙂

I don’t agree with this. You might have a point if there was any rhyme or reason to the quotes, but there clearly wasn’t. Quotes do not express emphasis. If anything, asterisks would. This is like giving a 3rd grader extra points on a written assignment for misspelling words because “at least it’s not AI.” It’s simply not evolution. And even if it was evolution, an AI chatbot would simply be able to follow suit if it wanted to.

I drove by, stopped and reversed like 300 feet down the road while it just sat and waited for me

You make a valid point but I was totally an idiot when I wrote this, it actually was in Vermont, I was following the Connecticut River and jumping across sides all day, but this was definitely in Vermont

I spent most of the trip in NH but this pic was taken at (44.7869977, -71.5833849), Vermont for sure. Sorry #1

There’s several religions, but I’m familiar mostly with the biblical stories where God has animals deliver things to humans. (This isn’t an Elijah and the bears situation I’m pretty sure) I’m not sure what this situation means to you in the grand scheme of things, but it’s definitely far enough outside the statistical norm that it probably means something 🧐

“An Ai BoT wud SimPly be Able to follow suIT” actually you’re probably right… I do have an intrinsic desire to fight the system that yielded a world as corrupt as this one. Spelin included.
