If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

tip for the emoji displayname crew: if all the white women in your meeting get to be "she" but you refer to the one black woman as "they" you are not, in fact, charmingly gender-progressive. you are a filthy racist asshole.

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas & city center in 2021.”
Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death
The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

so i made this today - dishoom's signature black dal - at least mostly. i didn't have urad dal (and don't know how to get it locally) so i used beluga lentils instead, and the final product needed some freshness so i finished with preserved lemons and spring onion. absolutely wonderful.

you know how we use "brings the shopping trolley back" as a short-hand for "housebroken"? being on the side of tory lanez in this lawsuit was always an indication you can't be left inside unsupervised.

Heritage Staffer 1: "We are declaring war on anyone who sells Nazis to the community."
Heritage Staffer 2: "But Heritage Staffer, I sell Nazis to the community!"

every country's politics feed is normal people talking about how the government sucks and the trains don't run on time, and then you look at a US feed and it's 40k accounts throwing AI generated memes down range, screaming "I FOLLOW BACK" into your face until your pituitary gland curdles up and dies
