Are you being bullied by a hummingbird
Looks like you got your cat a cat
Anyone got a couple of spare second graders to catch me up on all the cool dinosaur facts that happened since I was in second grade?
I think it's a sign of how cowed the American media is that we're getting pieces like "you have to understand, in Korean culture, it's considered very rude for someone to lock you in a brutal prison camp for a week for no reason." Like yeah, any free people would be offended by that?
So kind of an inverse of Jonathan Livingston Seagull
Hell yeah. Then definitely Herbert's other books, many horrifying experimental societies to unpack there
High five for a living, spiteful body
A Grand Wort: an archaic brewing term for a prepared wort ready for fermentation that has been fortified after filtering with honey, sugar, or fruit, probably.
I salute your spite. I could do a lot of things fueled by spite but I'm not sure giving up butter is one of them.
Have you read 1984 or Brave New World or The Handmaid's Tale? Im all about the classics of dystopian lit.
Seanan McGuire also writes under pen name Mira Grant. That woman has a HUGE backcatalog
If you like dune 1-6 deeeefinitely read more Frank Herbert.
This line of questioning makes my tummy hurt.
... how many syllables is that name?
I thought I was broken because of the complete numbness I feel toward violence, but I cried about some stranger's dog being put down today, so turns out it wasn't me after all.
Set it on fire and a camera crew will show up.
They just don't make lesbians like you two anymore.
But I am one of I think three people I know without a serious anxiety or depression issue, and I've been terminally online since the 90s. I'm not claiming to have cracked the code or anything, but this works for me.
I don't go and just scroll reddit anymore, I check out specific subreddits. Xitter is long gone. I relentlessly banish most alerts on my phone. If I can't firmly control what I'm consuming, I have no use for it. Am I in a bubble of my own making? Maybe.
For me? Relentless curation of my media. I use the subscription feed on YouTube, I made a list of my follows on bsky to cut down on reskeets. I only go to tiktok to check on specific playlists. I don't use Facebook or insta at all. I follow RSS on Feedly. I never give the algorithm control willingly
Right on, thanks!
The Santa Clarita Diet. Still mad about it's cancellation on a cliffhanger.
Hell yeah
They will never come to terms with the fact that almost always the shots are coming from inside the house
Queer flag, pan flag, ? flag?
Aww, love you too. And I know I'm not a bad person, I'm just not especially conflicted, I am perfectly capable of resolving my positions of "political violence is bad actually" and "fuck that guy" and it continues to surprise me that other people can't seem to get there, too.
I'm already tired of being made to wonder if I'm a bad person for not having complicated feelings about, yanno, everything.
Oh that's the problem, she wants to powrstance, that's a dark souls 2 issue
Christ you can just go buy an original one for less than that
Can someone go check on Lynda Carter? I've never seen her try to post through it before, I don't think she's ok.
Excellent! I just got a Ford f150 and it's very big. Very very big. Just ridiculous.
Oh yeah, that's the car that replaced my beloved Toyota Avalon. If you're driving it, it is definitely smaller than it's predecessor. How do you like it? Dunno if you've been in a Prius, but they're bigger on the inside, it's wild.
Interestingly, the same trend among Republican graphic design has been well-observed for at least 15 years.
I find it endlessly cute that there is an entire subgenre of the internet now that are basically just second generation nerdfighter content creators. Perfection, 10/10, zero notes.
It's like going to the car lot and I tell them I want a big full size sedan and the guy says "great, I've got a Ford Focus you'll love" And then I think "Katie would love that" because you're the only person I know who explicitly prefers little cars lol
Is it because I'm a woman that when I talk to computer sales guys and say "I need top horsepower, price is secondary" they show me a midrange prosumer-grade i7 laptop about equivalent to what I already have? It's happened twice now.
I honestly didn't expect living in this particular timeline would mean I never know what decade it'll be outside when I wake up. Is it the 1880s out today? 1920s? Will today be stochastic violence or economic collapse or labor unrest or international chaos or McCarthyism out? Who knows!
I think I read that book
*checks prices* doesn't look like this is an evenly-distributed problem. Like, ground espresso seems to be resistant to price hikes for some reason?
Greeeeaaaaat
Definitely missed something. If something comes of that clusterfuck I'd be surprised honestly.
Torment nexus or dead internet?
I must have missed something. Did I miss something?
Lol true. I do actually agree with you on most points. I'm just a bit of a greybeard at this point and I genuinely do have a problem with the non-deterministic nature of these tools. My lizard brain keeps interpreting it as a bug, because before right now, it was. To be clear it's a me problem.
Skill issue
Not at all, I didn't understand why I was told Micky and friends were so cool when Bugs Bunny and warner brothers cartoons were clearly superior and more plentiful. What was Mickey clearly this zillion dollar thing? Made no sense.
Hey millennials, as a child, did you also have the experience of Mickey Mouse and the classic Disney cartoon characters being ubiquitous, but found their actual cartoons and, like, related media like books and comics, to be exceedingly lame? I couldn't quite figure out why they were a big deal.
At least chocolate is deterministic.
I am owner, president, and sole employee of this corporation, I have the right permission to do anything I like lol Now the trick is to not embezzle from myself between now and payroll
Getting through the phone tree and the hold music at the IRS is always a nightmare, but boy howdy do the people that answer the phones give good phone.
Now you're speaking my language
*squints* anime nonsense go pew pew pew boobies go jiggle jiggle big sword go bonk.
I am suddenly grateful nobody has ever looked at my beautiful broken son Code Vein and concluded that the shit parry is a skill issue actually.
Got it. Good luck with that.
Does subdermal fat have any effect on your estrogen, to your knowledge? I've always thought it did, and your post reminded me so I googled it and got nothing
A little dark city for a treat
Existenz, Gattaca, Donnie Darko
Always!
Wait, Asvine is compatible with Bock nib units? I thought Asian fountain pens had their own nib unit format.
"let's speed up NASA" is... Just completely completely contrary to the entire NASA culture? They don't do that.
And the feed is original and keeps up in BB mode?
Neat!
Little dude is like 6 extremely suspicious pixels
What is a magpie grind?
... yeah, valid.
To be perfectly clear, what they're trying to do is sell exclusive luxury shovels.
I'd love to know why Safeway gives a shit. Honestly.
And the US is injecting this stuff into the government as we speak. It's one of their top priorities.
Like, this is clearly not designed to sell to someone's grandma, it's supposed to be bought and held in high volume. They're just grifting each other and stupid rich people now, either for direct capital injection or by convincing people to use this stuff as a "platform" for apps and games and shit.
I... they just say that. On the website. In fairly plain language. I know we haven't had to think about crypto in a bit, which has been nice, but it hasn't gone away. The successful crypto dorks have just retreated to only work with the whales and the high rollers.
If you don't have a bunch of extra tokens, you pay token transaction fees, and those fees destroy themselves. Their stated goal is to destroy more tokens than they create, to ensure token deflation, they seem to think this is happening well. 60% of tokens are held by founders and the dao.
I just went to the Tron Dao website and read their "Tokenomics" explainer, which lays out the broad goals of... all the whatever they're doing over there. Basically, if you hold a lot of tokens, you get credit to do token stuff for free and get to sit on the board, basically.
Better: make it out of spite.
It's pretty great tbh
Post your conclusions!
THAT was the LOGICAL response??! In THOSE books?! Which I enjoyed very much btw, thanks for that
My bestie is in sales and they have a local AI that eats customer data and spits out charts and spreadsheets. Basically the same thing. She loves it, because her last job was entirely just doing that.
Impressive, also cool, but a) what does the good front end dev on the team who writes all your CSS think of this finished work and b) woman you are a world class veteran technologist, this is not a use case that scales
I'm feeling posty tonight. Here we go: I don't like what preorder culture is right now, but with two exceptions, 1 is a Kickstarter deal where you essentially borrow production costs from the first 200 customers ahead of time, 2 when it's a thing I want later and I will forget immediately anyway
It bears repeating that my white, Republican mother reaaaaaly doesn't like to be reminded that her white, Republican mother was an illegal immigrant.
Oooh, missing the point but putting theater actors, particularly comedic theater actors, on film in long scenes is how you get Old Movie Vibes. This gives me ideas.
Social Identity model - basically just Deaf people, honestly. They're kinda scary. Charity model - oh you poor sad helpless pathetic dear, shut up and let me save you
Biopsychosocial model - i understand your holistic needs, and we have funding for none of them Economic model - stop being disabled and get back to work Functional Solutions model - app with -ability in the name raises $100 million in latest funding round
Models of Disability as a concept have kind of lost the plot. The accessibility industrial complex seems to think this is important and useful stuff. Medical model - You Can (Not) Be Fixed Social model - I was fine until I was forced to deal with your bullshit
I paid your publisher for a copy 18 months ago and they still haven't sent it to me!
Also, new twitter. Old Twitter used to be my go-to example for accessibility and browser perf (two things I'm trying very hard to combine into one thing) and now it's... Not.
You'll be the first to know Lol
Nope but @nyxfears.bsky.social is. She does extreme horror very well.
It's a Quebec thing. In Buffalo we let the Greek diners handle our poutine and there are much bigger delicious crimes to worry about
Marmite definitely has An Flavor.
This is how I learned your avatar is surprisingly close to @techconnectify.bsky.social 's avatar if I just look at it peripherally
Is that a surprisingly small Korean business man or is that little compact car a lot bigger than I think it is?
Needs peas.
I did a catch-and-release with that pen. It's heavy!
Didn't know that!
Look, I'm not saying that diamine writers blood is bad ink, it's not, it's a perfectly fine maroon brown, it has great performance and it's clearly having a moment, but I don't understand why it's so incredibly popular when sailor shikiori yodaki is also an option that exists.
*adds lepers and sex to my justwatch*
