Monument

But AI is stupid.

In 4 hours, the internet would have dumped enough porn into it that it would think ‘the little death’ is its goal and then try to fuck humanity to death.

(That plot could either be a good camp movie, or a bad porn.)

Nothing says freedom like coercion.

This is delightful. Thank you for sharing it.

A British comedian friend living in the U.S. used to (15-ish years ago) have a joke about asking a guy outside a bar in middle America if he could bum a fag.
He would impersonate the most southern accent he could muster and say “I don’t care. Ain’t no business of mine.” As part of a joke about cultural differences/how the U.S. could be unexpectedly wholesome.

Never asked if that was a true story. We fell out awhile ago.

I have the forgetting kind of ADHD, so I straight up don’t know what I do and don’t have. This could be handy in that regard.
But I also can’t really see myself using this because the debt of keeping it current would be a nightmare.

At least it’s not because they’re millennials.

That used to happen to me on SDF.org before their server took a long nap. Perhaps your home instance is having federation issues?

She is pretty cool.

I’m on a tear today, as you can tell by my interaction with my wife.

Oh, you’re right! You did jump to insults right off the bat.

Then you stalked my account to try to create more personalized attacks.

I mean, you can keep arguing but you will have to do better than to accuse me of trying to be a good person. Unless you were trying to say I’m fake, but
I actually care. And the same sort of toxic user behavior that ruined Reddit long before the administrators did is something I try to meet with good humor and a sense of silliness. Maybe the Lemmy community can keep that at bay.

If your antipathy and rage at other people is such that you cannot break through it to realize someone is cracking a joke, then… I don’t know. I don’t have a constructive suggestion right now.
No joke here: Are you physically in pain? Maybe something you don’t realize is bothering you? Possibly some other drain on your psyche? You’re putting out a lot of hate for being random text in my phone.

They are criticizing the article for being non-comprehensive.

You are criticizing them because you misunderstood their point and I guess you felt the need to keep digging until you started throwing insults.

You know - I don’t think I need to offer further commentary. The facts are in evidence.
Take a deep breath. Think of something you’re grateful for, and tell someone you care for them. That is your penance.

I do not know.

Either it wasn’t, or the movie is more engaging than I realize because aside from one scene, I didn’t think about her vagoofer at all.

Yes, I called it a vagoofer instead of vagina, labia, or vulva. (Or as my phone would like me to say, Virginia, Latvia, or Vatican.) Mostly because my wife is mortified by the term, and I like seeing her mortified. I’m going to read this comment to her after work. I will update it to let you all know if she squealed with embarrassment or rolled her eyes at me.

Edit: Elevated reaction, middle of the road on the mortification scale. She tried to hide her cute little smirk by looking away and told me to “shutthefuckup” - said as one word and entirely with love, mind you. When I got to reading the part about reading the comment aloud, she blushed and gently pushed my shoulder telling me to “get outta here”.
She also does not recall having noticed Margot Robbie’s vagoofer.

It’s almost like it’s on purpose or something.

A neighbor once aggressively confronted my wife and I to tell us not to walk past his house. Our offense was that some time prior we had laughed at his Trump flags (yup, multiple) while walking our dogs and he heard us through his Ring cameras while spying on the neighborhood.

In the course of the interaction, the person made veiled threats against us and our dogs, and repeatedly tried to tell us where we could and could not exist. It’s a public sidewalk. Obviously we did not alter our route, but I did start carrying a knife and making sure the dogs were not eating anything her may have put down and that we were consummately courteous (cleaning up pet mess, making sure they didn’t tromp into landscaping, etc).

Mind you, this was before Trump took office the second time. He took those flags down by April 2025 and later apologized to me - telling me the flag removal was a removal of support for Trump.

Which is great, but his vague threats could have been construed as death threats. Our ‘threat’ to him was a threat to his ego.

Well, I thought my misinformation was funny.

It’s to check to see if commenters know how to escape the symbol. Congratulations! You passed!

Source: I made it up.

Wait, so they suspended someone who is already on voluntary leave and has been cleared of the allegations by literal international judges? At the same time, Judges who supported the investigation have been personally sanctioned and treated as if they are terrorists.

It’s almost like Israel’s threat to destroy him and the court is coming to fruition.

She must have been able to.

She was notorious for lying to her doctors, but her medical history should have reflected that she smoked. She was on oxygen for smoking-related emphysema!

This is going to sound really fucked up, but my mom apparently bought specified disease insurance.
She smoked from before she was 18 up until after her last chemo treatment, and she still had her treatment covered 100%.

It didn’t cover everything - only medically necessary things. She tried to get the doctor to do an experimental procedure on her, and the insurance wouldn’t cover the procedure. It covered live-in hospice, but not a nursing home, etc.

I thought this sounded familiar.

Twitter collected user phone numbers and email addresses for the stated reason of account verification/security. It then used that data for advertising.

It’s currently banned from profiting from deceptively collected data, is required to allow users to utilize MFA not tied to their phone number, must assess the privacy and security risks of new products, must disclose data breaches to the FCC, and limit employee access to user private information.

Not that a Republican FCC would enforce the rules, but this would make it official that Twitter can do all those things. Expect Musk to be sliming into the DM’s of everyone.

I guess the ‘reasonable’ part of reasonable accommodation is highly subjective.
