Yeah, unfortunately I am literally assuming everything is fake if it's the least bit incredible because I do not want to believe (or even admire) something made by the clankers
one insidious thing about gen AI is it's not just causing us to mistrust dodgy images, it's also making us mistrust images that look perfectly normal. this is gaslighting in a very literal sense bc the technology is undermining the trust we have in our own ability to perceive reality!

the only good counterargument to “they should be tried for war crimes” is “we are not at war so they should straight up be tried for murder”

If you use Gmail, here's a nifty free app from the Google Workspace Marketplace--it scans emails for AI-generated content. I installed and tested it myself; it's not 100%, but works pretty well. If you're being bombarded by AI scam spams, it's a helpful tool. workspace.google.com/marketplace/...

We were talking last night that it's GOOD that stores aren't opening on Thanksgiving, but also that the sales just aren't very good this year. Some of the things on my list aren't on sale at all!
Black Friday bargains no longer tempt people to leave Thanksgiving tables for midnight mall runs.
US retailers are about to see if Black Friday benefits from a holiday halo effect
Black Friday bargains no longer tempt people to leave Thanksgiving tables for midnight mall runs. But the annual sales event still brings more shoppers into stores than any day of the year.

I was complaining about how everything I want for Christmas is like a hundred bucks. Husband asks, "Like what?"
My list: "A purse that looks like Bobby Hill's face when he yells 'that's my purse.' Overalls made from sweats. A fancy kaftan I'd never wear."

I went to donate blood today and they asked me to do platelets, which I've never done before. Anyway, today I learned that anticoagulants can steal all your calcium and make your face go numb

I never, ever get involved with Threads drama (it's is for lols ONLY) but so many people are missing the point on a post I just read. Daughter asked for soon to be stepmom to take her to get first bra. Mom is saying "you stole that experience from me!" Commenters agree.

But really, you don't even need to know the origins. Santa is not secular because Christmas is not secular, even if lots of people observe it secularly
Saint Nick was based on Nicholas, bishop of Bari, an early Christian saint who gave gifts to people in secret, usually as a way to have done a good deed. The name Santa clause is a bastardization of Sinterklaas, a Germanic form of Saint Nick. It’s very Christian.
