If you think of "hiring in entry level positions" as "procuring labor to do the tasks entry level people do" then you probably do think AI is a magical headcount reduction machine. But the point of hiring in entry level positions is to produce mid-career employees.

If you didn't know NFTs are done, now you do This was on the sale rack of the kids' clothing section in a Bilka outside of Aalborg, which is the European equivalent of finding it on sale in a Target outside of Minneapolis. LOL. LMAO, even.

My best idea for 2026:

I have been in Denmark for almost a whole week and have yet to have a French hot dog or a cinnamon roll. This, to me, is fuckery. At least we got salad pizza last night.

Burning the goat will not heal the world, Kristina. We must do better. We burn all of Gävle.

We didn't survive and thrive as a species because we had warriors or hunters - pretty much every omnivore can manage that. We did so because we developed Grandmothers, and domesticated Dogs. Community is what defines us as a species, and every "self-reliant" libertarian shitweasel be damned.

Europeans consistently seem to misunderstand income in the US as something that is absurdly high. But costs are wildly different too. I took a big pay cut coming to Europe but my childcare and healthcare costs have plummeted, and people my age here have nowhere near my level of student debt.

Ackerman is reportedly just sizing everyone up and looking for weaknesses they can exploit when Monopoly starts to heat up, which they believe is “as inevitable as death”.

I am 36 and love Babylon 5, which is metric for 37 and loves ST:DS9

It's almost 6am and I learned I accidentally got a bunch of friends to buy things off a kid's wishlist for Transanta, and now what started as me buying a dog toy and soap for a teen on their own has turned into this kid getting a jacket and boots and now a massive Lego set. Cooperation is fantastic.

My daughter managed to break out in hives within a day of arriving back in Denmark. Our current best guess is a low-key reaction to uncooked cinnamon but the much funnier option is her turning out to be a Danish passport holder who can't eat rye bread or pork.

I have changed diapers in three countries today and soon I will have done so in a fourth.

Apple sauce, sour cream, ketchup? No The correct topping for latkes is smoked salmon, a poached egg, and hollandaise sauce

got an unexpected insurance payment for damaged furniture post-move and we used a small chunk of it to get a kid half her list on transanta and it feels magical; i was gonna say i'm confused as to why the stupidly rich don't just do that, but you don't get stupidly rich by liking humanity

i’m looking for agented authors of color interested in writing new adult contemporary romance for our new adult imprint, requited. any agents i can connect with on this? #mswl

Makes me proud every time! Did you know we’re shipping whistles anywhere in the US? Email whistlerequests [at] proton [dot] me for your free 3D printed whistles. We’ve sent over 30,000 so far in December!

There is a loud tractor parade in our village that we would have known about if we were still on the local Facebook page. But we bailed due to Euro blackface nonsense and now there are tractors honking right after the baby went down for bed and I feel a mighty ancestral urge to invade this place.

Police body cam footage is Pred porn for civilians allowing vicarious consumption of death of "the other" send skeet

You also have to consider... respectfully that maybe Denmark is making bad choices.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and a duck that does crimes

Yesterday, at lunch with a bunch of middle aged Europeans at a moderately fancy restaurant, we discovered that almost nobody recognized Jerusalem artichokes or knew what they would be called in anyone else's language. It took five officers + Google translate to figure it out. Also nobody likes them.

Sometimes in the winter, when I am sad or feel a little lonely, far away from home, I remember I can buy a small thing for a kid or young person that gives them a little joy, which brings me a little joy. Transanta is great and I invite those of you with spare change to participate.

i often see things that make me say "this is the most Boston thing I have ever seen in my life" but i think this one might have swept them all

>toddler is asking for a cup of dino shaped rice cereal >ask the toddler if she will eat it or throw it >she doesn't understand >pull out illustrated diagram explaining what is eating and what is throwing >she laughs and says "it's a good dino cereal mom" >Hand her the cereal cup >she throws it

I am here to tell you unironically that this crew took me and @raevpet.com on one of the most compelling emotional journeys we've been on related to media in the past few years

Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.

tis the season

You know how Enterprise has Faith of the Heart as a theme song, instead of good orchestral music? What's the ideal Star Trek credits opening / pop song cover pairing and why is it Voyager and a minor key cover of I'll Be There For You?

Please get in touch with my friend Will if you are (or know) an artist who can donate a little time and skill to this union fight.

Everyone thinks the theory and steps matter None of these guys remember the manual labor involved and the fact that the demon core killed a dude - not because he didn't know how to make a bomb, but because he physically put the two parts too close together

i could tell you how to make a nuclear bomb step by step and there's zero chance on earth you could make one because that's not the hard part

fighting for my life against the persistent and insistent intrusive thought

What I love about Dutch is every time you’re like “lol look at this funny phrase” a Dutch person is like “actually that translation is incorrect” and then the correct one they provide is somehow even sillier

Does anyone want a survivorship bias shortbread

just ask for things. anything. there's 300 things and you deserve it. hesitating on if you deserve it means you deserve it.

Help the baby has decided that rather than learn French or Danglish she would prefer to grow additional teeth Kid, what if fewer teeth and more language?

My step-grandfather, who in retrospect absolutely made me the person I am today My sister, for keeping me honest and razzing the crap outta me Our friends Erik and Maggie, for being the most hospitable neighbors after our kid was born, and always having space and time for our family

🩷 let's make some magic 🩷 last year, this community turned the most consumerist day of the year into a day defined strangers saying "I got you" to people that really need a bright spot in their life. it's time to run it back.

I don't hold to any faith, but there's a saying I hold close to my heart: a guest is a gift from god. Going to great lengths to shut out immigrants—whether they be refugees, asylum seekers, or just people looking to start new lives for whatever reason—shows a meanness that is unworthy of humanity.

Shout outs to the local government for informing me that they don't actually need an apostille version of my birth certificate, but that without it they tragically cannot include my parents in my lineage documents Because they want to build out my lineage in a file Like a horse or an aristocrat

me: *sees a dead bird* this is a bad omen wife: you're ruining thanksgiving

I took a work meeting in the car while we were driving to visit my family in northern Michigan and was playing stardew valley on my phone and my 19yo goes "look at my chaplain, dawg, I'm never getting to heaven" and I laughed so hard I accidentally hung up the teams meeting
