it feels like a lot of people's opinions on tools like detaching quotes, disabling replies, etc, fundamentally boil down to "harassment isn't harassment if I don't like the target"

Rough first day as a bus driver 😕 always sucks when you work a customer service job and the customers insist they know more than you and threaten to get you fired

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

By now, asteroid 2026 Dreadstone has impacted the Indian Ocean, sparking a firestorm not seen on this planet since the K–Pg Extinction Event. Most people just want to be with their families. Here are three ways effective business leaders can leverage targeted KPIs to turn tragedy 😔 into triumph 💪

My three year old son Prembus asked me "Daddy, why aren't you getting ready for Whiskey Friday with Tony Dokoupil like you always do?" How am I supposed to tell him? He's just a kid.

birthrate issues have a bunch of solutions that happen to dovetail nicely with existing feminist demands (better parental leave etc) that have the small issue of not actually fixing the underlying problem

completely anecdotal but IME people with Marx or Lenin avatars/usernames/etc are far more likely to be reasonable than Stalin avatars

You’re not imagining things—the plums that were in your icebox are *completely gone*. Here’s why that’s bad news:

• They were *your plums*, that you were saving for breakfast. That makes this personal for you.

• They were *sweet*, so whoever ate them *enjoyed* them. That’s unforgivable.

in this really annoying state where the set of "social spaces i can trust to have a reasonable discussion about AI" and "social spaces where i can elide explaining a lot of my personal weird idiosyncratic bullshit" have zero intersections

i think we've reached the point where "slop" in the vulgar discourse is a useless term

there's definitely things I've thought about saying on here abt former employers because this account is disconnected from my other social media and so they'd be less doxxy but it's probably not worth it. oh well

it feels bad that most of the discourse about the reddit delivery app post being fake is focused on detecting whether or not documents were made with AI and not the implausibility of some of the claims as well as the supporting documents

The E3 2005 build of Shadow The Hedgehog was released earlier this month, containing unused voice lines that contained more adult language.

One step closer to hearing Jason Griffith dropping the mother of all F-Bombs as Shadow.
