Holy shit I feel this so hard

High school sociology teacher would say that the remote garage door opener was the death of American society because it eliminated the last remaining opportunity for chance interaction with your neighbor when you no longer had to get out of the car and open the garage.

I'd like to say that you should not panic if you can't see these controls. Some accounts are just not allowed to, or the feature hasn't been rolled out to them. The important takeaway is: Dont, as a customer or artist, reveal that you're NSFW to the payment providers. That's the important part.

Using my voice as a creator to put out a small PSA on how to disable the new feedback feature on our favorite overly-nosey payment processor. Reminder to never comm details on payment websites, and to never directly link your payment pages to your NSFW work.

YONSE

No you did not see me pull a wine cork with my teeth no you're imagining things

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

Boycott Spotify!

There are plenty of times when it can be hard to avoid giving money to problematic companies. If Target is your only grocery option, I think you'd be forgiven going there If a gaming company partners with bad actors tho, "making your peace" with that just means it's OK as long as you're entertained

Target: " gee wiz, we aren't going out of business fast enough!"

You know who your real friends are by noticing who actually messages YOU

I love seeing news come up about so-in-so person who caused some scandal or was in some way a terrible person at some point in the past and I get to just be like... Who? Because my brain had never been subjected to their stupidity.

This sort of explains why I've never had trouble adopting new ideas or viewpoints. Basically my entire life I've always been treated like an outcast for one reason or another so when I see a group who've also been treated as such asking for a simple thing, it's just so easy to say yes.

It always rubs me the wrong way to know that in spite of how fairly unified we all are in our hatred of AI, a lot of furries still fall into the classic fandom trope of "forgiving" a particular artist/creator's use just on the basis that they're "famous" enough and it's not "totally" AI

Reminder that Fortnite has been doing a whole shitload of terrible things lately, and there are way better games you could be playing.

this is genius

Popular game/franchise gets a sequel but with a major mechanic changed in a way that fundamentally transforms the game into something totally different.

This is the most French reaction to fascism i can imagine and as a native of New Orleans i am here for it

I didn't have a lot of experience with families outside of my own growing up so I gotta ask: How normal is it for like...EVERYONE in your family, parents and siblings included...to text you and ask, as a 38-yr-old, what you want for christmas?

Introduce yourself with five cars you've owned (if you've owned that many) 2003 Ford Ranger (drowned in Katrina) 2006 Honda Civic 1997 Mazda MX5 Miata 2014 Chevy Sonic 2016 Mazda MX5 GT

My contribution to the turkeyday goings-ons this year (yes i made more than just this one lol). Mini pies layered with a peanut-butter-praline spread and topped with chocolate namelaka applied with a piping bag and flat tip

You're kidnapped. The characters from the last show you watched are coming to rescue you. ...has anyone ever been as fucked as I am now?

Friendly reminder that striking workers are asking you not to patronize ANY Starbucks store. If you're traveling this week, your airport definitely has other options. Zero reason to even think about crossing a picket line!

Do I... Do I have...game? *context: went out to a bar by myself and was immediately hit on*

One of the great things about not having seen Predator as a kid is that my automatic reaction to this is to actually want to comment on how finding a solid French Dip is like...a major task for me when moving to a new city. Sacramento's is at the train station.

So yeah, you can keep walking past Target for MULTIPLE reasons now.

If true, this has to be a Goddamn News segment on the next ep of @wtyppod.bsky.social

elon installs a new feature that publicly displays the country where your app was installed and operates from people find out the most racist pro-US accounts are based in israel, india, bangladesh, etc US DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY TWITTER BASED IN ISRAEL elon pauses location feature

The only "smart" tech i have in my apartment are Hue light bulbs, light switches, and a base station to coordinate them all. There are no mics or speakers anywhere and since I use a dumbphone, the smartphone that has the app for the lights stays turned off and lives in a drawer in a closet.

kotaku.com/zoopunk-gene... Oh man I got bad news.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features." There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

If a man points in a woman's face and says "Quiet piggy" you say something about it... You stand up and you say "What the fuck did you just say?" www.welcometohellworld.com/the-love-we-...

When you keep in touch with most of your friends through electronic means, it's only natural that every now and then there's a lull where they're all busy touching grass at the same time. I just wish that didn't always seem to come when I'm crashing mentally/emotionally.

#nocoffeenocontract Do not cross the picket line.

If the holodeck actually existed I'd have one of the most deep-seated cases of holo-addiction on record and I wouldn't fucking care.

If the solution to a "civil disturbance" is the activation of Guard personnel literally 48 states away from said disturbance...

I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season

I don't understand how an urgent memo about an urgent crisis that i wrote two hours after the crisis erupted still hasn't been escalated simply on the basis of my boss "not having gotten to it" yet. IT HAS BEEN TWO WEEKS

As someone who has multiple sets of wired headphones, I get this but... ...they literally make USB-C-to-3.5mm adapters? They even ship smartphones with them? KOSS even has a whole line of products (Utility Series) that have interchangeable cords with 3.5mm, USB-C, & Lightning connectors.

Running the government like a huge, fiscally-conservative, multi-divisional corporation is indistinguishable from democratic socialism and people who disagree are just hiding behind "fiscal conservatism" as an excuse to be vile, despicable, greedy, xenophobic twats.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

You guys wanna see a dead body?

I've been seeing this headline floating around. To be clear: 1) This is "No. 1" on a miniscule chart, The "Country Digital Song Sales" chart, as in people actually paying money to download country songs which is a tiny amount of people 2) The actual consumers are almost certainly fake

Yooooo, any Seattleite furs make sure you track and check on your ballots!
