My favorite apple auto correct: changing the word before the one you just finished. You mentally verify that it's correct, type the next word, auto correct fucks up the next word and then retroactively fucks up the word you already moved on from. Absolutely brilliant interface.

It costs less money than hosting a payment processing center. By an order of magnitude.

Hmmm, I wonder if they're conflating processed foods and red meat again?

Yep:

Eating processed red meat (such as sausages, bacon, hotdogs and salami) was linked to a 16% higher risk of dementia and a faster rate of cognitive ageing. Eating about two servings of processed red meat a week raised the risk of dementia by 14% compared with those who ate less than about three servings a month. (A serving is a piece of meat roughly the size of a deck of playing cards – around 85g.)

If people substituted processed red meat protein for that found in nuts, tofu or beans, they could reduce their dementia risk by 19%, the study found.

A review of studies, published in 2023, found that people who ate lots of ultra-processed foods (of all kinds – not just processed meats) had a 44% higher risk of dementia

With the Senate controlled by hostile fuckwits, aren't we better off with them not meeting?

I used Boost on Reddit and it was a great app.

I agree with your sentiment

In this case though, they're referring to the federal ICE, not internal combustion engine.

Advocate of the police state gets killed by the police state.

Critics of the police state pointing and laughing doesn't mean they're suddenly fans.

(Chicago) Mayor Brandon Johnson

Edit: Johnson, not Thompson, thanks.

We knew that would be the case. It'll be try in 50 years.

Reality isn't convincing. Repeated messaging and indoctrination is convincing, partly because it determines how you perceive reality.

The full order, which provides the template this comes from.

My favorite part of playing tennis is the commute back to the court after every time my opponent scores. I really get to savor and look forward to the next time I'll get to swing my racket. It also makes victory that much more meaningful knowing that not only am I an expert at swinging the racket, reading my opponents moves, and responding, I've also memorized every crack, crevice, and nuance of conversation along the route to the court. That meaningless repetition of unrelated action is what makes games fun!

Depending on the context, acquiescing and then not following orders can be quite effective as well, especially if you're in a position of direct contact.

E.g., your supervisor instructs you to do something like take down the company DEI site? Say no, get fired... Or say yes, and just don't do it. You forgot, it's a cached version, etc. Eventually you have to take it down and then a month later when the site updates it's back. Someone must've left it in the update package.

Be creative, be active. Anyone who wants to gaslight the world is owed nothing but deception and disrespect.

The article is fairly good, the headline only really makes sense after reading the article.

Not a great headline.

Nope, sorry, didn't think about that for an RTS. Is definitely designed for keyboard and mouse.

I think any fan of the genre should check out

Active development, amazing and customizable controls (seriously, is you've ever been frustrated fighting controls in an RTS, they've thought of solutions), and an extensive campaign that serves as a unit tutorial (not the most engaging story is my only regret).

Take the guaranteed income (at long as you're alive), and go for a run with all your free time.

"what are you doing!?"

"..... Is this some sort of trick question or what?"

Google is forcing AI into all paid plans while raising costs on everyone. Might be a more accurate headline.

• A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking, T Kingfisher. Technically YA, but still a brilliant book that doesn't shy away from being real. If doesn't feel YA. T Kingfisher has plenty of other options to choose from as well.
• Legends and Lattes, Baldree. On the lighter and simpler side, enjoyable characters and character development.
• Of Shadow and Sea, Will Wight. Multiple strong female protags and with MC being an assassin, there's plenty of stabbing. Part of trilogy.
• The Hollow Places, T. Kingfisher. More on the horror side of fantasy. Continues to have lovable characters
• The Murderbot Diaries, Martha Wells. Hilarious, sometimes violent, sci Fi. I guess technically not a female protags?
• Gideon the Ninth, Tamsyn Muir. Sci Fi with fantasy feel. Plenty violent, mystery, great female protags and characters, can be difficult to follow but still thoroughly enjoyable.
• Iron Widow, Xiran Jay Zhao. Sci Fi alternate History China with mech warriors. Murder and power to stop girls from being sacrificed. Fun for the whole family.
• Rosemary and Rue, Seanan McGuire. Urban faerie fantasy and investigator noir book one. She has a couple of urban fantasy series you may be interested in.

Edit

• Ninefox Gambit, Yoon Ha Lee. MilitarySpace Sci Fi with intriguing technology and cultural evolutions. Creative and artistic.

Unfortunately, having a job is horrible for your privacy. You're required to provide full personal details to be hired to an employer with dubious security who forces you to sign up for accounts with likely either Microsoft or Google. Depending on your position you either need to use your personal phone for work (and your work accounts are easily tied to your phone), or carry a work phone with you, which you have even less control over than normal.

That isn't really helpful.

I think to your original question, it's more about sanitizing what is published. On LinkedIn and Indeed. Whenever possible apply directly through the website. But everywhere is going to require similar levels of personal information. As far as being worried about spam; using another email account is probably easiest. You don't want to risk missing an important email while you are looking.
