Starbucks: “ocean, right?”

“In other news, 50,000 people wearing ski masks manually disassemble a data center.”

In a better world, I’d be reading that headline.

Our admins are lovely but severely overworked. Most admin teams I’ve interacted with are kind but overladen. Some are definitely emotionally stunted but I definitely wouldn’t establish that as a rule

As my mother used to say, deep as the deepest one. Never much cared for calling people or things satanic, but she loved it for a minute

No, you’re thinking of the people keeping us in this mess.

If you say 10/10, it feels disingenuous. 9/10, no one neurotypical really questions it.

Issue 2: employees were able to manually find and view footage from smart glasses

Issue 1: meta exists

At least that’s where I’m at.

This one took me a second. You’re not the one fingerprinting, other people are. It’s worse for the fingerprinters, better for you. “Worse for fingerprinting” means it’s more difficult to use as a fingerprint

More generic and therefore worse for fingerprinting. Though that’s only because it’s built in and standardized.

Which makes me want to say things that would get me banned for multiple reasons.

One of 3 things will happen in the future, and none of the 3 things will involve putting a wealthy man in any state of duress. The doge kids might see courtrooms, though!

They just seemed like incredibly stupid criminals. The most fallible idiots that musk could muster from le twtiter armie. It was wholly expected, at least by me. Hitler did the same thing with the brown shirts. Just take some prospectless doofuses, make them feel important, and point them in a direction.

I hate everything so goddamn much.

And consuming more porn than their parents by far. You wouldn’t suggest that vegans have a smaller appetite because they’re no longer eating animal products, right?

Why do you say that?

At first I thought this was stupid, and it is for other reasons, but then I realized that gen z and alpha in the US might legitimately need counseling. Teens and young adults are having less sex. I’d imagine they have a similar sex drive compared to previous generations, but their outlet is themselves.

An app will never be the answer, but there’s assuredly an average number of sex addicts currently feeling shame for a basic human instinct gone haywire. If not for the fact that I’ve been hearing middle schoolers talking about gooning, this thought would never have struck me.

They are, however, made of the fruit they’re named after with little sugar added. That 8oz is about half a pound, and half a pound of grapes is calorically comparable. I’d guess that the apple/juice situation is similar but it’s harder to ascertain because of variation.

We’ve cultivated tree candy, and I can’t see it any other way.

Unless you’re looking for Apple or grape juice specifically, this is what you get. I’ve long decided to avoid juices as a result. If I want a sugar water packet, I just pack a honeycrisp apple, orange, Asian pear, plum, or a slightly overripe bartlett pear.

That’s hilarious, and I cannot imagine how stressed out that employee is.

Frankly, I was imagining ultra-wealthy preppers. 1000 liters is less than the average household uses per day in the US, according to the most commonly repeated stat. That feels wildly inflated, but I have nothing to dispute it with other than my own household usage, which is far lower.

I mean, a little. It’s far easier to sell someone on less than half a million than on more than half a million.
