Dictation - 48.5

January 31, 2021•107 words

i’ve now written multiple drafts and one full, published post entirely using dictation software rather than typing (albeit with some edits to fix misinterpretation). It took me 20 minutes to write my previous post using only voice type, and that was without having my ideas fleshed out before hand.

(This post was written(spoken?) with dictation too.)

👍❤️🫶👏👌🤯🤔😂😍😭😢😡😮

U.S. Politics: Politicians' incentives push them to make them decisions get (re)elected and stay in office, not to run the country well, make compromises, or represent the will of the people. This is the problem with almost any democratic system, but it's still the root cause of a lot of the U.S.'s...
