I literally could not stop myself from inappropriately laughing out loud for real

back in my day, before DVDs, films on TV and video were regularly panned-and-scanned so you typically got a compromised version of the director’s vision TEEN LOOKING UP FROM WATCHING THE MOST HORRIBLY REFORMATTED JUDDERY CLIP OF A 30-YEAR-OLD PANAVISION MOVIE ON THEIR PHONE: huh?

worst part of the school run is going to tesco straight afterwards and another parent spotting you with a disgusting meal deal in your basket

again I ask, what is the upside of this technology

Jesus Christ It said it was sending him a real person to help and then went LOL no just kidding I can’t do that

Indefensible to argue this belongs in schools.

Is that good

hit my head pretty hard yesterday and doctor said i have concussion so i looked up an NHS video on recovery tips and now half my youtube recommendations are like “YOU PROBABLY GONNA FUCKIN DIE” with red x-ray skulls shattering like sniper elite

Perfect. No notes.

Long shot but if anyone would be keen on last minute tickets to see METAL GEAR SOLID played by an orchestra tonight at the Royal Albert Hall at 7pm, let me know? Partner can’t use his ticket tonight and if we can pass it to someone who can and can recover even some costs we’d like to

This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity. We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.

I did not expect this post to resonate with so many people, but it makes sense considering how many people have been laid off or are going through layoffs rn. Gen X and Millennials were also taught to prioritize work and our careers, only to see homes become too expensive to buy and wages stagnate.

All the people with taste are broke, all the people who lack taste have the money, and making anything requires bridging the two in the dumbest ways possible.

Hi! My friend Natalie is having a really hard time supporting her kids right now. It would make me so happy if you could donate to help her keep going: gofund.me/17705d028

Yet again i want to remind everyone that Bill Gates and several other billionaires have invested in mining projects in Greenland that are only accessible because of melted land and sea ice, he and other billionaires are essentially shorting the planet

Not now, truckload of rhesus monkeys from Tulane University that are highly aggressive toward humans and infected with hepatitis C, herpes, and COVID

I was opening a bunch of PDFs in acrobat yesterday and my computer's fans were going wild. I have a lot of RAM so this was surprising to me. Turns out Acrobat now generates AI summaries by default when you open a file, instead of just asking if you want one (which I never do).

took my daughter on a big hydraulic funfair flight simulator and the presentation was incredible, copied off a VHS which had been thoroughly ran-through, the image so smeared and saturated to be almost psychedelic. the DVD logo was bouncing around before it started

You can’t joke on discord anymore, cause of woke (and broken ai)

At a fundamental level, we have to accept much of silicon valley has gone insane.

hate it when i’m happily dicking around on my phone and i get inconvenienced by smashing into a pedestrian on a crossing at 50mph. sometimes they won’t even let me use my car again for a whole YEAR 😡

imagining a guy who gets so enraged by “billionaires are bad” stickers he tries to tear them off

putting aside all other issues, “Your Party” is just a really shit name

this may well be rose-tinted but i’m pretty sure Word used to be more reliable (maybe even responsive) on my 75MHz/8MB RAM Windows 95 PC fucking 30 years ago, simply running spellcheck on my ~32GB~ RAM work laptop froze it up and necessitated force-quitting ~twice~. bloated trash

*tosses another example onto the comedically large pile of examples showing how replacing spelling and grammar checkers with a statistical engine to find the -likely- word rather than the -correct- word and training said engine on everything everyone ever wrote online produces Not what's needed*

Grok finally switching your brain to wakeup mode after serving you 100,000 time-compressed years of slop nightmares advertising Groksleep, the service you already pay $350 a month to use. “thank u Elon”

Every day I have to learn about a guy with untold power and influence who I would not trust to fill up my car

Technically everyone who gets bitten is bitten by a skeleton.

The boy(14) had made a paper-mache facehugger for halloween. Here it us partly primed, ready for painting. He's done such an amazing job.

Stop doomscrolling and just learn something. Learn to fix things, learn a skill, there are so many free resources. Start writing, start drawing, who cares if it sucks just do something, do anything. You will feel so much better.

the IUCN "least concern" conservation status is for animals that scientists wouldn't care about if they went extinct
