Imagine unironically putting the ® symbol in a social media post
  • This is what they seem to never understand:

    They fixed the price of bread for years. Before getting caught, if people had asked them, "are you fixing the price of bread?", they would have said No, and probably have acted insulted that they were even asked.

    So now, if we ask them if they're fixing any other prices, they'll say No, and act insulted.

    After last time, why should we believe anything they say at any point?

  • It's Wednesday, my dudes.
  • But then when the bogs get flooded for harvest, the wolf spiders have nowhere to go that's not water, so the people who are harvesting cranberries are like tall islands of refuge, so they swarm to the humans for safety, so the humans are covered in friendly happy relieved wolf spiders <3

  • Does working for rich make you rich?
  • The truly rich tip worse than everyone else. Speaking in generalities, they're among the most selfish, least charitable people out of all income brackets, the same way you often see the most expensive cars on the road driving the worst.

    There's definitely exceptions, but as a classy they definitely ain't very classy.

  • Vance Says He Will Keep Calling Haitians Legally in Springfield ‘Illegal’
  • I can corroborate this story- because while I was on the internet this morning I read about it, and given its upvotes I knew that meant that other people had also read about it, lending literal volumes of weight to it's narrative.

  • Do remote workers actually work? Yes, but they also shop and shower
  • And in the office there are people who literally hang out at the coffee machine for 30-60 minutes at a time, talking to everyone who comes by under the guise of "networking".

    The media gotta stop reporting on the laundry like it's the equivalent of stealing from the company.

  • EA execs say generative AI is "not merely a buzzword for us, it's the very core of our business," then pretend to tell a computer to generate buildings live on stage
  • It lacks cohesion the longer it goes on, not so much "hallucinating" as it is losing the thread, losing the plot. Internal consistency goes out the window, previously-made declarations are ignored, and established canon gets trounced upon.

    But that's cuz it's not AI, it's just LLM all the way down.

  • A Guide To Fishing: How To Catch All The Fish
  • Fabulous! Thanks very much for this

    I'm two expeditions behind because I've been reestablishing bases ever since the universal reboot, but I'm bookmarking this for when I can start fishing- soon!

    What book(s) are you currently reading or listening? September 17
  • Last summer I went through all 15 Wheel of Time books (late June through November), so this summer I was excited to read Malazan. To be honest it's been more of a chore than I'd hoped.

    I love the magic system, the banter is SO good. Characters just keep dying and then coming back; it's got a lot going for it. The many, many different races, the 300,000+ years of history in the backstory...

    It's just a shame that it's burdened by the issues I mentioned earlier; and more. And sooo many more.

  • Meet Barley

    Got Barley from the shelter a few weeks back, she's 7. All her life her name has been "Harley", but she responds to "Barley" so we're going with it

    This is becoming a regular occurrence

    Not sure if it's the same mourning Dove as last time but I'm only a little creeped out so it's fine, it's totally fine. This is fine.

    Hypurrtia Sounds

    Our 12 year old Bombay cat, Hypurrtia, and the sounds she makes.

    "Hypurrtia" is intended to be a cat pun of "Hypatia".

    I hope her sounds fill your hearts with joy

    The Cloud Forest at Pretty River Valley, Ontario

    Posted this in a random thread yesterday but figured it probably deserved more views. This is from a rainy day last August, near the peak at Pretty River Valley Provincial Park, Ontario, on the Niagara Escarpment. I watched the clouds rolling in, and then they rolled into and through the forest, creating an absolutely magical scene.

    Hikers are welcome. Trails are very poorly marked. Start at the bottom of the valley for maximum elevation gain. :)

    Planet/Ploehrliou Visit Strawberry Hill, a pink grass paradise in Ploehrliou (59)

    White grass planets are nice, but pink grass is so much more chill. Add to that blue-green seas, pink skies, and a wonderful view of a neighboring ringed planet + moon, and you've got a premier destination for anyone visiting the Galaxy 59 core. Sure, there are some minor storms every now and again, but the pink serpent-butterflies and blue-white nighttime nebulae make up for any intermittent weather inconvenience. Visit today!

    First night at his new forever home

    Three years old and the most gentle, affectionate little one I've ever met. Love him like mad already. Still haven't got a name, though
