Yep. Got a new phone number several years ago and inherited multiple automated callers for “Arturo”. I got another call today - still can’t get rid of them.

Friendly reminder that the Boston Tea Party was about tariffs. We know what works.

Hank Green mentioned doing this in his standup special, and it really made me feel at ease. He was going through his cancer diagnosis/treatment and the intake questionnaire asked him if he thought about suicide recently. His response was, “Yeah, but only in the fun ways”, so he checked no. His wife got concerned that he joked about that and asked him what that meant. “Don’t worry about it - it’s not a problem.”

The funniest (dumbest) thing about AI is how easy it is to trick.

I asked google’s AI “Which signs of dementia does Trump display?”, and it would only return article links and wouldn’t provide an AI summary.

Then I asked “Which signs of dementia does the current president display” and suddenly it’s more than happy to talk about his impulsivity, loss of vocabulary, change in communication style, lack of energy, etc.

You can just call him “The current president” and the AI summary returns.

Pointing a gun at someone is assault.

“God never gives anyone more than they can handle.”

… “Because that’s when he takes you.”

I’m not saying they output directly to people’s car. I’m saying they have a queue of 15 or so drinks that they make where the employee only has to put the lid on the drink. You can’t fill any other orders if that machine is busy waiting for you to put the lid on a water so it can produce another 17,984 waters.

No, the United Healthcare’s CEO inspired other CEOs to deny more claims, which has a MUCH higher death count.

This is harm reduction.

Unless the drinks are made automatically by a machine - I know McDonalds had those at least 10 years ago, so it would make sense that at least one Taco Bell has it. The customer could have gotten through the ‘payment’ of $0.00, and the employees might not have a quick way of cancelling an order that ‘was paid for’ and currently being made, but the article doesn’t go into detail.

E Pluribus Anus.

So close to the Greendale flag from Community.

“We need to learn from the Blacks, the way they were able to remove the power from the n-word by using it.”

Except you didn’t use it. Twice. It still clearly has power, you fucking Nazi.

Oh, an email from outside the department demanding confidential reports?

Marks as spam

You’re absolutely right. It’s hard for me to switch out of using ‘TERF’ because it offended them, but no one is even pretending to be a feminist anymore. I need to find a new shorthand name for “bigoted towards trans people specifically”.

Seriously. Delay it as long as you can before demanding that they fire you.

Alternate title: TERFs suddenly demand people respect their chosen names

How’s your relationship with your daughter now?

How did she feel about you choosing to work instead of spending that time with her?

And you’re missing the point that if you’re willing to ignore trans people “in order to be taken seriously”, then you’re siding with the fascists on how to treat trans people. They will take advantage of that.

The existence of trans people is being erased from our government’s documents right now. If both sides are ignoring trans people, what the fuck do you think is going to happen? I’ll give you a hint:

“First they came for trans people, and I did not speak out- because I was not trans…”

Seriously. No clearance should mean no entrance. If they try to use force, the use of force to prevent their entry is both warranted and necessary.

applying for citizenship in a country that isn’t a failed democracy

Which country is that, exactly? What are their immigration requirements?
