Question for the sailors out there: if they change the name back will that uncurse it or make it twice as cursed, since the name was changed twice?

Could y’all take a look at this code stuff I don’t understand so that search is working properly for Piefed Blahaj? 🫶

And thank you Rimu!

Exactly, let them fight. All they can do is hurt each other.

Cuddles and not a riot to get fed? Yours is better behaved than mine 😂

If I didn’t have this exact keyboard as a kid, we had one nearly identical to it. So much IMing and gaming time on that keyboard. Nice find!

At least human beings get paid to do that and presumably at least some of the people playing the games enjoy the experience.

The concept of a video game also isn’t fundamentally built on consumer deception, either.

🫵 buny

Yeah, straight/heterosexual people didn’t want to be called that, either. They want being cis and heterosexual to just be “normal” and any variation to be abnormal. Fuck that, they’ll do the same thing to whatever euphemism you pick instead.

Definitely possible, it’s just a little too consistent for me to think it’s all people meeting their hero and nobody just trying to do their job and getting treated poorly.

I’d gone years without being too wigged out about it until now, eugh. Probably doesn’t help that I recently read a body horror novel.

Rabbit hole: It didn’t occur to me before now that the supernormal stimulus aspect of genai also applies to things that trigger phobias or strong disgust reactions (for the people who want to be pedants about the word trypophobia). I wonder if people with spider phobias rate AI images as scarier than real images of spiders?

Edit: omg why can’t I hide a post on piefed 😭

I’ve seen elderly people in my community riding around and doing their shopping on these a few times, they always seem very pleased with it. It has to beat dragging around one of those foldable shopping carts, for sure!

He has a reputation of just being an unpleasant dick and difficult to work with. Nothing super problematic to my knowledge, just a bad personality.

Public transit isn’t for socializing, it’s for traveling. Public spaces like parks, libraries, squares, etc that don’t require payment to use are for socializing.

More public transit and more public spaces. Transit that you don’t have to think about taking (because it’s safe, frequent, and cheap or free) takes you to new places or to familiar places more often, and lets you meet more people more often. And going outside and doing shit is just good for you, I’m sorry to report.

The addition of ‘fuckers’ in there makes me suspect Jeff Vandermeer, but I wouldn’t be able to say what book other than maybe part of the Southern Reach series.

I wonder if she can hear some noise it makes as the bits stick together and come apart?

This doesn’t make sense with how laws regarding flights over international waters work, which is generally that the laws of the country the plane is registered to apply while in international waters. If you get on an American plane in the US and land in a US territory, that’s not leaving the US. They clearly started from their conclusion and worked backwards.

Preaching to the choir, I know.

Tips from the US southwest for anyone not used to the heat, if you’d like them:

• Drink a stupid amount of water and eat salty stuff, as long as you don’t have a kidney condition
• If it’s a dry heat (<50% humidity) you can rapidly cool yourself with a wet washcloth or spray bottle and a fan. You’ll have to keep wetting it as it evaporates, but it works
• If it’s not a dry heat or you’re too hot for the washcloth thing, squeeze a cold pack under your arms or between your legs, the blood flow there will help you drop heat faster
• If you’re so hot that’s not helping, take a cool shower
• At night when it cools down, turn your AC as low as it will go/as low as finances allow. Every object in your house can ‘hold on’ to the cold and help cool your house during the day, the same way a full fridge maintains temperature better than an empty one
• Go to public places with AC if there are any near you (libraries and malls usually have AC here)
• Being unable to cool down no matter what you do is a MEDICAL EMERGENCY and you should treat it that way! Heat exhaustion and heat stroke are serious and have lifelong consequences

If you already know all this and are still suffering, I feel you. Our turn is coming 😩

Why are you asking me what to do when my criticism of the sentiment in the OP is that it’s self centered and cruel?

If you need to be led around by the nose, probably literally anything else is going to be better than publicly jacking yourself off about how you didn’t want this to happen. I’m sure you can think of something other than self congratulatory meme posting.

Did you phrase it this way to avoid talking about the ones in the US?

At bare minimum they could not turn the existence of these camps into the opportunity to talk about how morally pure they are. Useless and obnoxious at best, callous and heartless at worst.
