for every post someone makes that is in any way related to “being mean to AI”, one of their 5 most recent interactions with a person doing customer service should be chosen at random and appended to said post

it might look like i just heard a cognitohazard but don't worry, my brain has already begun playing the song Sankarin Tango performed by the award-winning finnish actor and singer Martti Suosalo, so i will be fine

MANDARIN TRADITIONAL AND SIMPLIFIED?! c'mon macrumors, you can do better than this

guanyin, immediately after getting to china and figuring out she's a girl:

oof, what a disappointing way to end more than 15 years of open source work. (summary by @duckinator.bsky.social at pup-e.com/goodbye-ruby...). good luck to the remaining RubyGems team, and it’s time to focus my energy on new projects that I’m truly excited about, like rv.dev

remembering the time I read a book on the history of Group Theory hoping to learn some cool math history facts and came a way with "you would not BELIEVE how many mathematicians barely escaped the Holocaust"

oops, comedy is no longer legal again. these snowflakes are canceling everyone, so much for being tolerant

some people love talking about “celebrating one’s legacy” and then bemoan it when someone enjoys the ultimate fruit of their labor

This is why I have never understood the idea that Black people focus on slavery too much. Baby, it's the historical equivalent of last week. We're not even 200 years post slavery.

this is such a bullshit business model. instead of even bothering to pay an actual person with a personality to represent the curation, it wants to fully automate an influencer human being out of the picture too way to shit on your customer while revealing you have no idea why they like something

if Episode Echoes and Encore are the toxicity that tears apart Maya and Chioma, then Desert Perpetual is the love story that brings versions of them back together again. in between reward system stumbles, Destiny 2's writing stays winning

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

國戰部 (DoW)

lowering the discussion from the platonic realm into the implementation realm works every time if you don’t do this, the sentence “AI can replace this” effectively _shuts down_ a proper discussion about how to roll out actual changes

i would not let my adaptation producers shit on my medium like this

finally got the time to sit down and play Night Springs, and it is comedy gold. nothing hits like the line “my motorcycle is also a werewolf”

still in awe that the zh-Hant localizers for Control rendered "perkele" as 呸個咧, which when pronounced in mandarin sounds almost identical to the finnish word, and also connotes derision without requiring any further explanation because 呸 <pēi> is already a lightly offensive interjection in mandarin

it’s thukpa weather

kaiju no. 8's first ending looks like a cute collage of third division slice of life moments, but it comes with a tear-jerking realization that it's also a literal depiction of okonogi's project to make the case that hibino kafka has been living as a human guy and not some kaiju pretending to be one

imagine being so maniacally racist that you side with the fire over the firefighter

Fuck it. I'm spilling tea. I was on Crunchyroll's roster and the only auditions I EVER saw were those specifically for trans characters. Bad enough considering trans characters in anime are quite rare, but it's made even worse by the fact I only ever got sent trans masc characters.

They’re going to rebrand it as the Centers for Disease Creation

think tank third way stop pissing away our fucking taxpayer money telling democrats to stop using words that they weren't even willing to use in the first place

A few years back I read some Facebook copypasta describing UX design as a profession in almost satanically manipulative terms, and was a bit baffled. Then the penny dropped, and I realized that in FAANG-land, that's exactly what it turned into, and that's where & how most everyday users encounter it

Dungan is a wonderful real-world illustration of an obvious point that is not noted nearly often enough, which is that if characters were actually necessary, it would be impossible for Chinese people to have a conversation

this higher register is a parallel to “learned borrowings from latin” in romance languages. Chao’s poem eliminates this factor by deliberately choosing words that all sound the same in mandarin specifically, creating a triple threat of vocab, pronunciation, and written obstacles

worth noting that historically, this was written in the 30s by linguist Yuan Ren Chao to demonstrate that romanizing classical chinese into mandarin can introduce so much ambiguity that in the most extreme case, you can get this kind of total context collapse

I thought this was going to be a short article about no-pan kissa. Instead, it turned into a longer piece on the 1984 Entertainment Law revision that really informed my understanding of current sex club regulations in Japan. unseen-japan.com/1980s-japan-...

/amˈbasədə/ is not correct and does not correspond to any commonly known accent. at best it's trans-atlantic, which is a synthetic accent in US english the most common pronunciations are /æmˈbæs.ə.dɚ/ or /æmˈbæs.əˌdɔɹ/ in UK english the most common ones are /æmˈbæs.ə.də(ɹ)/
