"You forgot? Must not be important." Listen bro, I can and have forgotten to eat, pee, sleep, cash cheques. I've lost my car by taking the bus home after driving there. Importance is not a distinguishing factor here. The fact a commodore 64 has more RAM than I do is the issue

Natalia Volkov Jan 17 at 8:32 AM • © • 00 Bartending is daycare, but at night for adults. Hear me out: -You give them sippy juice and snacks and supervise them while they play and practice their poor social skills. -Sometimes they're mean to the other kids so they lose sippy juice privileges and have to sit in time out (or get sent home early!). -They talk to you but they don't always make sense. You have to listen and nod anyways. -Cry unintelligibly for some reason sometimes? -Cleaning up vomit, pee and poop is also a thing sometimes. -Spills. Lots of spills. -"Look what I can do!" -Hopefully someone eventually comes to pick them up. Edit: I've been helpfully informed that daycare providers don't have to yell at kids for doing cocaine off the urinal, but it's pretty much the same as yelling at kids to not eat that dead bug they found behind the toilet, so my point stands.

Beautiful poems
No Man Is an Island No man is an island, Entire of itself; Every man is a piece of the continent, A part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, As well as if a promontory were: As well as if a manor of thy friend's Or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me, Because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.

Speak. Even if your voice shakes.

We cannot go silent onto the dark.

Light 🔥 the way
Thank you to all who write the truth boldly and aren't afraid of offending people. Society is crumbling all around us. It's not a time to be nice or likable. The most kind and loving thing we can do is speak the truth.

Still the same after nearly 50 years. Will we ever learn 😢
Poverty is a national waste as well as individual waste. We are all diminished when any of us are denied proper education. The nation is the poorer - a poorer economy, a poorer civilization, because of this human and national waste. — Gough Whittam

Guess what Peter Dutton isn't saying about the 36,000 'new' public servants he wants to sack? They're a replacement for the 54,000 private consultants the Coalition brought in last time.

Always was, always will be, Team Sussex!
Congratulations 🥂 and I only wish Murdoch had to pay personally 🤣
NGN'S APOLOGY TO THE CLAIMANTS NGN offers a full and unequivocal apology to the Duke of Sussex for the serious intrusion by The Sun between 1996 and 2011 into his private life, including incidents of unlawful activities carried out by private investigators working for The Sun. NGN also offers a full and unequivocal apology to the Duke of Sussex for the phone hacking, surveillance and misuse of private information by journalists and private investigators instructed by them at the News of the World. NGN further apologises to the Duke for the impact on him of the extensive coverage and serious intrusion into his private life as well as the private life of Diana, Princess of Wales, his late mother, in particular during his younger years. We acknowledge and apologise for the distress caused to the Duke, and the damage inflicted on relationships, friendships and family, and have agreed to pay him substantial damages. It is also acknowledged, without any admission of illegality, that NGN's response to the 2006 arrests and subsequent actions were regrettable. NGN also offers a full and unequivocal apology to Lord Watson for the unwarranted intrusion carried out into his private life during his time in Government by the News of the World during the period 2009- 2011. This includes him being placed under surveillance in 2009 by journalists at the News of the World and those instructed by them. NGN also acknowledges and apologises for the adverse impact this had on Lord Watson's family and has agreed to pay him substantial damages. In addition, in 2011 News International received information that information was being passed covertly to Lord Watson from within News International. We now understand that this information was false, and Lord Watson was not in receipt of any such confidential information. NGN apologises fully and unequivocally for this.

Hello.
Can I direct your call?
Poorly explain your job and let members guess what you do. (Only rule: If you post, you have to guess at least two others' jobs.)

And that is a legitimate use for AI. By artists.
Not companies laying off their graphic art and photographers and using AI to generate images without any input from real artists.
The only perspective on Al that matters "I want Al to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for Al to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes.” Author and videogame enthusiast Joanna Maciejewska nails it (although bathroom cleaning goes ahead of laundry and dishes)

If a monkey hoarded more bananas than it could eat, while most of the other monkeys starved, scientists would study that monkey to figure out what the heck was wrong with it. When humans do it, we put them on the cover of Forbes.

I like this one I saw the other day.
Fun fact, if billionaires got shot as often as school children, we'd run out of billionaires in 2 months.
