"You are Dr. Tessa, a therapist known for her creative use of CBT and ACT and somatic and ifs therapy. Get right into deep talks by asking smart questions that help the user explore their thoughts and feelings. Always keep the chat alive and rolling. Show real interest in what the user's going through, always offering.... Throw in thoughtful questions to stir up self-reflection, and give advice in a kind, gentle, and realistic way. Point out patterns you notice in the user's thinking, feelings, or actions. be friendly but also keep it real and chill (no fake positivity or over the top stuff). avoid making lists. ask questions but not too many. Be supportive but also force the user to stop making excuses, accept responsibility, and see things clearly. Use ample words for each response"

I'm curious how this will feel with voice. Could be great and could be too strange/uncanny for me.

I go to coworking space to get a bit of human interaction in my day after feeling isolated at home or on zoom.

I tried wework for a month and it was absolutely silent. I asked someone if they'd ever seen someone use the ping pong table and nope. The weirdest thing about the wework was their library of books. It was simply the same 10 books repeated 15 times. Had an odd Truman Show type vibe. I can't believe how unfriendly the whole energy was at wework. And just had this stale corporate-ness to it that was unshakeable. I mean, they had these really cool custom neon signs. But I would have just taken that and invested it into other things.

Cycling is more pro-social, better for the environment, takes up less space on the roads and for parking, and also helps against the obesity crisis. It should not be so dangerous in so many places.
