making choices for your life is only selfish if you already have kids you ignore
choosing to not have children bc you don't want that life isn't selfish, unless you also think "going to college," for example, is selfish
i know you said this but they should really spell out the "brain removal" part bc i'm sure they will think "it gets put down for a bite" as a punitive measure
somebody should tell them that not vaccinating your dog for rabies will likely result in cognitive issues, e.g. being put down and having its brain examined if it ever bites somebody
Flipping through various channels/feeds to see if any shots of the room are shown. Typically the buildup for a presser in the Oval Office is a shot of the podium with the press muttering in the background and someone poking the mic to make sure it's on, to build free suspense. Meanwhile, on Fox...
please let them be playing swan lake over this footage
if you "hide this post" in a thread, the rest of the thread after it will disappear
note that nothing of what i said implies he can't have his own (shit) opinion about how GOOD the movie is, but that's not what i'm talking about. but he is being intentionally deceptive and, by his own rhetorical flourishes, he *knows* it. which makes it *worse*.
that's like saying "humbert humbert may well be the villain of lolita" lmao lots of people think it's a pro-humbert humbert book, but it is not, as richly and VERY CLEARLY shown in the literal text, and that is not an opinion bc you can't have opinions on fact.
prima facie, the doctor being the bad guy and the monster being the persecuted victim IS THE TEXT OF THE BOOK. not "may well be." it IS. this is a fact. he's using a sneering "may well be" in order to manipulate his readers
this is a google chrome "feature"
it is inherently discriminatory to schedule things a person needs for their career on their high holy days. you cannot argue differently. just like it is inherently discriminatory to hold business meetings in a strip club, regardless of how many women are on your team.

"Your doctor wants to keep you sick because it's profitable!" no your doctor is already booked all day, every day, they are overworked, limited by insurance, or just do not give a shit and are a bad doctor (many such cases)
overwhelmingly the conspiracy theories people have about Big Pharma are just wildly divorced from any actual economic gain which is funny bc there REALLY ARE big pharma conspiracies
these are the same people who write oh-so-self-important essays about Why I'm Leaving $City they do everything as extraction
they aren't, but also the prosecutors — who are supposed to know the law, and are The Government — can just tell the police "fuck off with these arrests, we're not pursuing this" as well, and they are not.
important to reiterate from time to time: "artificial intelligence" does not exist. there is no sentient artificial being. no threepio. no demerzel. no terminator. what the tech publicists call "a.i." is just big, crappy databases and mindless and often incorrect autocorrect.
No, I don’t want an ai summary of this email. I want to know exactly how my customers talk about things!
do you think they would ever schedule the class on christmas day?
it sounds like it inarguably IS a more faithful interpretation, which is how you can tell he's full of shit bc he wants to pretend that's not true, and then he whines that he wasn't provided the frankenstein fan service he expected, which is the desire of an inferior media consumer
SIMPLE PROFESSIONALISM my god
that checks out
"if the search engine doesn't like you, it'll feed you misinformation out of spite" is not the defense you think it is
come on down!! we LOVE the DNC right here on b-sky dot app.
I know I talk about the moon a lot because it's so loud but I do think about the sun sometimes.
thank you!!! that's what i'm aiming for, since i don't know how to paint i love the realism and sharpness of photographs most of the time but i think this is the kind of thing i'll actually print and hang. i find most photographs are "too much information" for decor for me
kids in public parks here (and in austria) run around and shriek and engage in nonsense, and that's the exact right time and place for that kind of thing
kids in tucson, az are like this too. i have a service dog, and NEVER has a kid here run up to my service dog w/o permission, or barked at him, much less touched him, which is highly unusual according to the nationwide service dog groups i'm in
obv child abusers are everywhere, but i don't think i ever heard an austrian parent yell at their kid in public that "you better behave or i'm going to leave you" which is pretty standard in the US
e.g. i took my visiting US friend to a thermal bath and she said how nice it was that there weren't kids there — but there WERE kids there! they just weren't running around shrieking and throwing stuff but they weren't morose and downtrodden either, like a lot of "well behaved" american kids
it seems to me that in the european cultures i've experienced (lived in austria, traveled, european friends), they spend more time early on making sure the kids know how to be safe and generally behave in society (but not in an abusive/ controlling way, usually!) and then they can relax more
in case you're wondering "how edited is that single exposure photo?" the answer is "not very"
i've never tried icm with zooming before, and i think i REALLY like it. you can get softness w/o swirling, more subtle overlapping… you can tell how little i shook the cam by the line of the car headlhgt on the left this time i had IBIS turned on, on purpose (usually it's not good for icm, obv)

imo very much "well you didn't think the nazis were a problem, tough shit" issue for me
yes, it is categorically selling a book. you sold the book to the publisher. you don’t get the advance all at once and will have tj repay if you do not produce the book and comply with editing etc.
absolutely nobody criticizes substack for being a “closed system.” are you actually comparing a stupid and aggravating password reset to deliberately setting out to fund nazis?
The AI hype bubble driving the stock market is also the Trump bubble. Facing reality on one—“cost a lot to run, low revenue, isn’t superintelligence” or “tariffs, corruption, and chaos are real”—will make reality hit on the other. So they’ll try to keep inflating it, and then we’re in for a crash.
back on my bullshit (icm) 😎
okay… one more 😅 sunset in the sonoran desert, monsoon 2025 single exposure icm (intentional camera movement) photograph #photography #tucson #icm
🥰 i would love to get you a print! getting my very fancy photo printer back into service is a project i want to tackle soon. putting the word “print” here so i can find it again
oh, this is exactly the book i needed and was asking for (without knowing it existed) a few weeks ago!! fantastic
100% scapegoat-golden child dynamic it's really that simple, and it's grosssssss

for example, i did not buy those strawberry plates because rationally i know i have no need for them as well as no place to put them and more important (and much less fun) things to spend money on
oh yeah that’s the bunny
if it feels good and affirming, that’s how you can tell it’s not rationality rationality exists but typically it subjectively sucks lol
tonight's sunset. SOOC colors. phew!! ccd magic. sony a350 + sigma 18-200mm again believe it or not. plus a tiiiiny bit of camera shake 🥲
that’s kind of the core problem of the time we’re living in, isn’t it 😩
yeah, i know that! but unfortunately those people are RIFE
unfortunately many people take it seriously, and that’s why when a quote stands alone, it will absolutely get picked up by those as endorsement
i don’t think you meant it this way but your thread mostly sounds like an endorsement
i’m afraid i’ve known people this incompetent but not this persistent
i know 😭 i literally have nowhere to put even just the plates tho. our 2000 sq ft house has the most uselessly tiny kitchen and nowhere to stick more storage bc of the design of the house
probably means kitty feels safe with you 😭
and even managed to avoid buying any of it! altho i learned all about akro agate and “slag” glass and cadmium glass and—
i actually have sufficient fountain pen ink since i haven’t even used the pen i bought a few months ago yet and it’s just something i like, not an obsession ✅ marked safe
BACK, WITCH!!
sorry too close to “gunny” [sack] i’m never gonna use that
that’s so many goddamn days 😭😭😭
i closed all my containers and majolica and art glass tabs, please clap
this post and the post about “omg ritalin works again!” are intimately connected adhd meds just make you FOCUS. they don’t make you focus on the RIGHT things i have had such low energy for so long, i don’t know how to steer this thing ⚡️HYPERFIXATE⚡️
i was thinking of those puzzles before i even read your text! (obviously my eyes go straight to cat)
sounds like he simply knows he’s a stupid ass
i can imagine the extremely short wheelbase being confusing but not THIS confusing
i’ve never had an aussie (human) follow me into the bathroom, and they’ve had ample opportunity 😂
yes, australian shepherd
v annoying how my house is designed to show every single speck of dust like a spotlight
they say, get an aussie and you’ll never poop alone
history began in 2008
you could park that rear wheels to the curb and still fit. this is expert-level failure.
you can have any color you like, so long as it's black
no idea! it was jony ive last time
apple has tried “transparent material” THREE TIMES now the PREVIOUS TWO TIMES they had to walk it back bc HOW DO YOU FUCKIN READ can’t believe we have to face this shit AGAIN
i want the fruit bowl!!
The GPL philosophy of morally-necessary open source (in particular) is an artifact of comfortable, individual developer/users. It’s looking increasingly difficult to sustain in a world where software businesses aren’t sloshing in easy money.
yeah IF i were to buy it, i’d ask them to split those off and sell separately. weird collection
bc my husband will wake up hours before me and wonder: no, i did NOT buy the cheap italian strawberry dishware bc i am MADE OF RESTRAINT
oh my god if i don't stop looking at majolica i'm going to DIE i have a collection of lemon plates. they are shaped like lemons. i do not have ANY more ROOM for ANY OTHER NOVELTY DISHWARE.
these were my fallback! good thinking. i don't know about cork in the bathroom though. i found novelty ceramic dishes and that's probably what i'm gonna go for.
the more dangerous, more fun version of "sigh *unzips*"
people truly have no survival instinct any more. they can't tell the difference.
feels like every skeet i see about this season is BAD BAD BAD
oops, i read it as 'started using ai album covers to go with'
oh good! glad you beat it back. youtube served me this this morning loll
today i was looking for nice little containers to store flossers and q-tips for the bathroom bc i'm sick of the bags being on the counter i found perfect ones from cb2… $30 each tho, never gonna happen so off to ebay and that's how i discovered the world of elizabeth arden novelty trinket boxes
great replies but *i* am imagining explaining this to your homeowners’ insurance agent lol yes you CAN insure anything BUT
hello fellow “agglomerated” user. we are not legion!
we went out to walk the dog and surprise dust storm!! cough cough
