Continued working with my team to grow my granddaughter who at 15 months handles a spoon and fork to feed herself at each meal; drinks from a cup without assistance; can clean her face and understand everything she is told or asked (though sometimes with a devious smile makes what an adult might consider a poor choice.... She is testing her boundaries like she is supposed to do). I have learned how to and produced 6 different embroidery patterns on various pieces of infant clothing. I combined multiple web based directions to create a Wi-Fi enabled USB (from a raspberry pi W 2) to enable a link from my computer to my embroidery machine. I made cookies and shared them with others creating a lot of joy I'm visiting with my grandson in another state, modeling good parenting and offering help where I can.

Colored it a corporate beige.

Who the heck is so brain broken as to talk about their grandchild as a startup project and their family as a frigging team.

I have to almost need to see this as AI in order to maintain sanity because there’s no way an actual human being talked about a child—their human grandchild like he was a product.

It's clearly a joke. You've never heard people make corporate inspired comments about normal activities? Never had friends talk about sending them a calendar invite for dinner?

I don't talk about spending time with my children, friends, and family like they're a job, no.

Is it that much work in your mind to be social with the people you care about or are you just unable to drop the corpo think at home?
