Always weird when high follower accounts are like "how dare you people engage with the words of my post". Not only is it trivial to limit or mute replies, and even more trivial to not read them, but not every reply is directed at YOU alone.

It would be nice if the majority could figure out when something is bullshit in less than the usual 3-7 years.

If I'm abducted, can my ppl find where I'm being held via an AirTag pressed against my taint? /askingforafriend.

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1765

I keep chopping interests up before they form into a Career.

Why should I get dressed up and go out and spend all that money when I can make an ass out of myself on the internet for free?

women have all seen this movie, with a range of ends from being called a nasty woman to being killed. right wing people expected this video to absolve him: why didn't the woman defer and show fear so the man could feel like a man? she was executed because she didn't cower and he felt emasculated.

I fucking hate generative bullshit. Who are you people making and reposting this shit? Can't block the morons fast enough.

Hell yes, this exactly.

A few times a year I get a bad headache and try to cope and take advil but it doesnt go away. Then I drink a bunch of water and it's fine. But a couple months later dehydrated moron day hits again.

And it compromises coverage particularly of science and technology with complete credulity to snake oil being the default setting, even before billionaires enter the picture.

Never been on a gameshow but Id end up something like Peter Griffin on Wheel of Fortune guessing 3 Qs and the batman symbol.

Ppl in their: 20s - what is this dude rambling about? 30s - hey! I work for Google 40s - FR man, same 50s - welcome to our hell, it will not get better 60s - help me open this jar my hands hurt Good thread 👇🏽 though. Simmering rage is best rage.

True story of one mug of coffee: Day 1 - didn't finish drinking it Day 2 - gross sludge Day 6 - way grosser sludge with spots Day 13 - colorful menagerie of microbial colonies Day 22 - unspeakable horror Day 34 - petrified something Day 41 - less of whatever Day 58 - empty, it all disappeared 🤷🏽‍♂️

If you like infographics, Bump's how to read this chart is mandatory. He's doing some mild ragebait here, but there are many more in the full newsletter.

In my culture, food and family are of no importance at all.

I have unopened probably important mail older than kindergardeners. I carry the shame bag around on trips just in case the anxiety subsides.

As someone who has ocassionally messed with machine learning over 20 years and see it's legit uses, it's pretty annoying that "AI" has come to mean the trash theft LLMs. I not only understand, but agree with the hate. I block generative "art" ppl on sight. It's vile. (1/2)

The miracle of this "obsolete" technology: full color decent resolution A3 or bigger prints, several times a second at a cost of spare change. Cheap enough to distribute to hundreds of thousands daily and disposed of after reading.

Prism kitty!

It is destroying the people who have ideas. GET IT? Dear Vox: The BLENDER does not GROW THE FOOD.

Totally sucks. You can go settings > apps > safari > [change tabs to “bottom” instead of compact] and it reverts to how it was

This will add a layer to when I ask an intern about something only for them to Google it, thinking that I don't know how to type words into a search box.

Just a reminder that I block anyone who uses generative AI. Nothing personal. You're just an ass.

Charlie Brown was the prophet of childhood ennui.

With my mom it's more "how do I get this to play on here?" holding a dvd and pointing at the streaming box, and you know, fair point mom.

The first influencer

Checkup at Drs they always go thru the routine: Do you consume alcohol? ... yes How often? Would you say more than once per month? ... yes Would you say more than once per week ? ... yes Is it more than ... it's multiple every day ok can we move on to the next shame?

My mom taught me that if you lick a knife with the blade moving away you won't cut your tongue.

I've been on social media less than a year. Can anyone tell me why ppl do this? PSTR: "I want a little furry creature in my house that will chase mice and might curl up in my lap" PSTR later: "People telling me about 'CATS' like duh I know what cats are, that's not what I want"

"Look at this fresh dog turd! It was in my yard! Yes I'm holding it my hand, I want you to smell it too!!" ... that's everyone who copies king dipshit's missives here. Everyone. It's possible to refer to the thing without showing it, anyone curious can go look.

Yesterday me made a list of important tasks. I have outsmarted him: There's no fucking way I am looking at that list.

Midnight is a peculiar term. It refers to a precise moment between two calendar dates; it doesn't belong to either. The only uses of midnight that make sense are casually on the same day: "We have to leave at midnight", or nonspecifically as in 'after midnight the daemons come out'.

It’s wild how much of the American government is built on wishful thinking.

+1, calibri is ugly. Also yay for Paris using the proper term. "It's my favorite font" = "it's my favorite ball" when you meant "sport".

Truth. In one of his writings, Kurzweil talks about sprinkling nanobots on his dad's grave so they would repair the corpse and bring him back to life. Total crackpot stuff.

reassesses keeps changing it's mind about what letter it's going to end with Also, the rheses reassessed the Reese's assets as it was asserted the dessert would be disasterous to it's ass.

This entire thread is a peek into the cracked skulls of true writers.

There are good new and old movies, but there's something impressive about the levels of suck Tron:Ares achieved. It sucks in a completely fresh way than anything that came before it.

The people who are all "this food/drink must only be prepared and consumed in this exact way" are my least favorite, online or in person.

A crucial part of Snoopy's origin story.

Posters where every time it's a thread of 20 posts: what are you doing? It's like someone in a bar doing a scene from Shakespeare. And ignoring the brevity is the soul of wit part.

Even as a Millennial TurboLiberal for whom this website is made I have to admit I get pretty tired of reading about one trillion problems I neither understand nor can solve. "THOUSANDS of octopi are dying off the coast of Madagascar" alright I'm not in charge of that. That's not my job.
