Anthropomorphic slime mold asks disgusted public to treat anthropomorphic slug better. Film at 11

I’m so glad I don’t use telegram.

No necessarily, his friend’s outfit seems pretty bottom-y to me.

I’d like to think I’m self aware enough that at that point I’d be like “I guess I’m at least bi”

I never became a discord guy, but it seems like IRC (not federated the same way lemmy/mastodon/etc are but functionally similar) would meet the requirements.

No, it’s one of the first Linux distributions

Cory Doctorow has made a pretty convincing argument that in your real specifically, all designs should be open source. That way, if a company goes bankrupt or simply stops supporting a device, like (say) an implant that allows them to see, or a pacemaker, or whatever, they can pursue repairs without the help of the OEM.

I think Disney might have a few things to say about that.

Along with every other film studio, record company, publisher, video game studio…

…engineering firm, architecture firm…

…pharma company, law firm…

That multiplier should include sledgehammers in some way.

It’s not really a matter of opinion at this point. What is available has little if any benefit to anyone who isn’t trying to justify rock bottom wages or sweeping layoffs. Most Americans, and most people on earth, stand to lose far more than they gain from LLMs.

Please don’t insult sex workers by comparing them with billionaires.

If I pay a stripper she’ll give me a lap dance. The terms of the deal are straightforward. If I give a billionaire money they’ll just fuck me over and ask for more money.

Oh, you say genocide and use of starvation as a weapon of war is against international law too? WE CANNOT HAVE THE SOVEREIGNTY OF ISRAEL QUESTIONED.

It’s…not shocking exactly, but a little surprising and a lot disappointing that so much of finance is now targeted at “let’s make a thing that we read about in sci fi novels we read as kids.”

Focusing on STEM and not the humanities means we have a bunch of engineers who think “book thing cool” and have zero understanding of how allegory works.

Regarding extensions, my understanding is that Apple makes it hard to prevent a bunch of trash extensions showing up that don’t do anything worthwhile.

A recent episode of The House of Pod podcast included a virologist and an ER doctor (the host is a gastroenterologist) and they talked about measles and the potential lifelong effects that a non-fatal case can cause, like blindness or deafness. They also contrast with the efficacy of the vaccine, the virologist got checked before going to SE Asia and despite her last MMR dose being in the 90s she had enough antibodies that her doctor said she didn’t need a booster. She went on to talk about how while measles has mutated it has not changed to bypass immunity.

Hold them in contempt. Put them in jail for a few days, then declare a mistrial due to incompetent counsel. For repeat offenders, file a formal complaint to the state bar.

Well now I’m glad I’ve never bought a kindle book.

Maybe 30% of ICE personnel would understand that being the gestapo represents a “branding problem,” maybe 1% are ethical enough to feel bad about it but not enough to quit.

That seems overly complicated and counterproductive. How can ICE watch you fuck its mother if it’s sucking your balls? They should do that after you fuck its mother.

I can’t either, looks like this is just for reading.
