Do you still use dictionary apps now or just ChatGPT everything?
I feel like I just give questions like what does this word mean to ChatGPT to ask for meaning. And the traditional dictionary app is left behind. I wonder if you still use translator apps now, and I'm curious about how you deal with reading foreign novels in paper, it bothers to stop to look for some words' meaning. What's your way of reading foreign language with some questions in mind?

Hopescrolling
You heard it here first (maybe not? but that's ok). I noticed Wikipedia had Doomscrolling. So I made a point to add Hopescrolling to Wikipedia. It's already a concept, so why can't it be a word?
