yes, it's true, I did burn $100 of the company's money in Claude tokens , but, in my defense, it's workers day so really you should just consider it voluntary overtime costs-

me, kissing my bf from the bathtub: and now I pull you into the pool. I am the russalka! Him, raising an eyebrow: More like kappa

Why are all the argie accounts I find on this website insane

What kind of psychopath orders specific rolls at sushi places. Who does that and why do all sushi places cater to this sick person

less visibility please! Much less visibility would be awesome, thanks!

Some of you gotta stop making us look crazy online. Yes, it is grossly unfair that your bad posts do more PR damage to trans people than causing a mass famine through foreign aid cuts, then blowing up a school and causing an energy crisis did to cis people. But things tend to be unfair for us.

One thing I think a lot of marginalized people need to think on is that if you make being an ally a miserable, psychologically-draining hell of an experience, people will just stop being allies. Yes, being an ally can be uncomfortable, but this is beyond that.

Trans people are not immune to criticism

"serious crimes" implies other crimes are silly, allowable, a lil treat

"Everyone is broke and starving" is right up there with "everyone is working 5 minimum wage jobs" as an instant indicator for me that the person saying it is not worth listening to for their other opinions

one thing that frustrates me quite a bit about modern opinion-writing is that hardly anyone tries to argue with a particular person or a specific argument. it's all gesturing towards people saying something. take this piece for example. setting aside the merits of the argument, who is the target?

When you deploy heavily LLM text, you currently have no way to prove that you actually read it and therefore cannot convince me to read it

Finally, Mauricio Macri getting the recognition as woke hero he deserves

Fetterman aside, sometimes I wonder how much of the public interplay between in-the-know senators and the executive is play acting for the US' opponents

in a very "Dick the Butcher was right about the lawyers" mood right now

Tfw you realize someone hasn't clocked you bc you mention another trans person and they hit you with the "Oh. Damn, I thought she was pretty" when you say they're trans

Old lady in my building elevator, ominously: Hello, dearie. You haven't been paying attention to the HOA lately, what's going on?

The peronization of the US is inevitable

Is a man really authentically masculine if he hasn't considered taking estrogen at least once?

Why is some guy named Markwayne. Is this some sort of joke

A guy I flunked in my last course is retaking the current one, and he has decided to try to flirt in my DMs right before the exam 😭

students: make SURE every person in our course group chat is a student, they must verify so teachers can't infiltrate!! Me, the TA with a student ID: hi guys here's what the prof just posted on campus, it sounds like important info!

The inability of people on this site to actually read is incredible for a text-based platform

girl who's only seen one form of exploitative hirarchy in their life: "I'm getting a lot of capitalism vibes from this"

I could get so much work done if only the people who claim to want that work done didn't constantly interrupt it with meetings about the work they want done

"Wait. Wait. Why is this spending an entire chapter talking about numbers and points? Is this actually a litrpg??" -- my SO after I tricked him into listening to Stray Cat Strut without him realizing the genre for seven whole chapters

does the far left ever miss a single chance to be morally abhorrent

the hatred I feel for SMEs that try to socially pressure you into not using credit cards is bottomless

With the Mercosur-EU deal, I was able to import an European boyfriend to Argentina. Thank you Mrs von der Leyen!!!

I'm about as pro universal open borders as you can get, but istg the way that first world countries react to undocumented/refugee immigrants by voting for people who will curtail legal/economic immigration is incredibly blackpilling

crab tastes like someone put a chicken into an armored oyster

It's very easy to empathize with Americans worried about the rule of law and the future of their country with an authoritarian in charge so it's quite depressing to see the total lack of empathy from them in return

I want to believe so hard but it's Trump so

Maduro is a brutal and oppressive dictator of Venezuela. Trump has no legitimate legal basis for military action against Venezuela under United States or international law. Both of those facts are simultaneously true.

you don't realize what you sacrifice by being in a society with labor rights and high wages for all until it's 2AM and you want chicken wings and there are zero gig workers to deliver them from an overpriced ghost kitchen

I was so excited to buy ingredients for pinnekjøtt a few days ago, only to be informed by my fiancé that it "takes 24 hours minimum to make" and "is not a valid midnight snack" SCAM i say!!!

The problem with bubbles isn't that they pop you idiots. The problem is that the bubble, during uts existence, consumes capital and talent for a frivolous purpose. Resources are taken from the real economy to the bubble. The pop just reveals that.

replies be like "this is a very serious problem so here's why my preferred political constituency shouldn't be involved in solving it"

And I think liberals should stop taking the bait and ceding ground on immigration. Immigration is good. Multiculturalism is good. Free trade is good. Stop being embarrassed to say so.

there's so many people here tying themselves in knots to justify random cross subsidies and it's so wack to see

tried out vibe coding the other day for a personal project and I can confirm it had great success at creating something that vaguely resembled what I wanted but was Not It, and giving me the motivation to actually write the proper code myself

Salespeople have this behavioral tic where they claim things are "wrong" and need to be checked literally without checking them themselves and it's infuriating

tfw I go from civilization (Buenos Aires) to the savage lands of no same day Amazon OR Mercado Libre (norway)

Currently in a place Amazon deliveries take multiple days and it's basically a USSR simulator.

The Christmas spirit leaving my body as soon as "traditions" other than gift-exchanging are required

Tfw you get your man to listen to a romantasy audiobook with you in bed and then he lectures you on how you "fell asleep during the important chapter so we have to rewind"

this (which is sarcastic) is a fascinating insight into the minds of Americans

you don't give me access to the database to wipe a table and you think that'll stop me? Silly. I will simply use a web scraper to delete rows one by one over the weekend 🥰

Me every time some service decides their API should be less useful than the manual user interface
