People say “well what did people do before vaccines/antibiotics/pasteurisation?” as if that’s an argument for going natural.

They died, Carol. A lot of people died.

I didn’t get any takers last night. Sad!!! Well, none that were in Sydney and could actually come with me. So I’ll try again.
So, one week from tonight, next Thursday 4 December, ATARASHII GAKKO! is playing the UNSW Roundhouse. I have tickets but no one to go with. Who’d like to come with me? Place your bids!

Check them out here www.youtube.com/@ATARASHIIGA... or in your music app. They’re not for everyone.

ATARASHII GAKKO! Official YouTube Whirlwind group ATARASHII GAKKO! represent a new generation of Japanese youth (seishun in their native language), one embracing personal expression and pushing again...

back on the other site I had a thread where I did mini-reviews of time travel shows and movies. Going to start it again here since I've watched some good ones recently!

People say “believe women”. Until the man is someone they know.

Having a PRP injection today and the phlebotomist asked about my sunflower lanyard and I told her it was for hidden disabilities and she got awkward and said she was sorry for asking

I’ve watched enough Kdrama to start recognising actors but today I have been thrown by the fact that Ryeoun and Park Bo Gum are actually two different actors???

the key to overcoming imposter syndrome lies not in understanding that you're better than this but in accepting that everyone else is worse than this

re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide titled COLOR TASTE TEXTURE, that’s all about finding out what works for specific sensory needs and how to customize food for them. It’s useful for all ages, no cooking experience necessary.
Color Taste Texture by Matthew Broberg-Moffitt: 9780593538593 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books
An accessible family cookbook that offers solutions rather than tricks to empower the food-averse, autistic, and picky eater, with 46 recipes. This much-needed cookbook combines tips and techniques.....

saying "you could use chatGPT for that" to me is like taking a shit directly out of your mouth; imagine if i had to watch your face shit itself, that's what it feels like when you say these things

If you have a product that people love and want to use... you do not have to do that. Like, when the iPhone came out, your Mac wasn't constantly saying to you, 'Hey, have you tried sending emails on your iPhone???'

To me, the biggest tell that AI is massively overvalued is that Big Tech has to keep shoving it in our faces. I just noticed Chrome has a 'Gemini' button at the top of the browser, and I'm getting prompts all over the place, including Zoom, to 'try AI.'

Kind of weird that they renamed Zootopia to Zootropolis for Oz, but haven’t renamed the sequel so it’s still called Zootopia 2
