Connecticut kid, also anti-small slice. The fold is less for size and more because it adds structural integrity to one hand the pizza.

The thin slice lacks structural integrity and has no way to get any

Hot pizza takes sorry

Everyone’s always buying their kids presents that they grow out of and never gifts that will last them the rest of their lives — like tattoos.

I literally almost posted on here earlier this week that this felt like a psyop www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Tilly Norwood is a gen AI psyop

The point is to normalize generative AI in your mind.

My dumb cat has been starving herself for two years (to the point her liver started failing) and I have to fight every day to get her to keep weight and this is what it looks like in practice what a spoiled dingus

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️

As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike.

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform
swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.
