As anyone with even the smallest amount of architectural knowledge knows, the correct number of sinks for three small rooms, as pictured here, is a **minimum** of five.

Really concerned about the sink situation here, tbh.

This model is very into bathrooms, check out the “coat bath.”

Which, I mean, who hasn’t walked into a closet and thought “I need to pee, but leaving this closet for one of the three other bathrooms within 20 feet is just a lot to ask.”

I will say it’s very gratifying to know Smith has the look of a man one finds, or reads about, masturbating in a public park:

The way the bots all follow the same standard tho is tiresome:

Apparently the current strategy is to just create starter packs credulous fools subscribe to, which…I mean…that’s a fascinating and great way of expanding your reach:

TNgal is also thankful.

“RebelBlue” is very thankful for being included!

This is a bot account promoting a starter pack of other bot accounts.

This platform has some very serious problems.

So the thing about capitalism in the United States today is it needs a revamp.

Well-known companies, like Marriott here, are being mismanaged into the ground by a management culture that’s resemblant of inbred European aristocracy of the 17th c.

Time to clean house.

“Drop your view on how broken our perception is about to get. [pointing finger emoji].”

Love that these fools are, just now, discovering realistic image gen is a problematic technology.

“How could we possibly have foreseen issues here?”

Oh no, precious Nvidia, too?

What could possibly be happening?

Oh no, is something wrong with the Monopoly money, too?

What ever could it be? It’s certainly not the realization that fake money built atop nothing worthless. No, it can’t be that. Could it be the realization that the president they thought they’d purchased isn’t, in fact, truly reliable?

Oh, no.

Is the fact America is a tinfoil hat dictatorship replete with massive corruption + the center of a massive, obviously fraudulent AI bubble sinking in?

The weirdest aspect of this platform are the bots.

“Democratic partisan wine mom with cloying description and copious blue butterfly emojis” seems to be very successful as it’s being replicated constantly.

For example:

Also, note the smiling sociopath.

The link to Weaver‘s blog is in my last post, but we have a big issue here in one little paragraph: what do we do with Nvidia when demand for their chips collapses?

As a child could surmise, this is an epic collapse in the making.

If interest moves to the edge, we are going to see…problems emerge.
