I like the idea of a Tudor galleon with so many cannons it almost sank and it somehow has the name of a cartoon character who encourages kids to eat more fruit

It’s the equivalent of putting toddler locks on the cupboard of cleaning products under the sink
As a casual observation, I love how a common and accepted fantasy RPG trope is the concept of a treasure room or hidden vault or secret sanctum protected by a puzzle that any remotely competent person can theoretically figure out, despite the fact that no one would ever create this irl.

This dude got everyone in the world to sing the first two bars of Seven Nation Army for about a decade, Americans ought to simply run him for president

Protecting the system, and the powerful men who feel entitled to benefit from it, matters more than protecting the people it harms.’

Co-sign on this one. Shingles is one of the all time top miserable experiences. And I say that as someone who’s had one of their legs reconstructed
big recommendation: don’t get shingles

Thinking of this in the context of colleagues this week. Thanks to the GFC and covid, we’re all mentally in our early 30s even as our backs give out and we go grey
reminds me of a friend who explained why recent years have felt so weird to so many millennials here and it’s because “we went into the pandemic young people and came out of it old”
I spoke to a woman at the protest in minneapolis and she explained she wanted to be there in part because "i was a kid when george floyd got killed" and i nearly dropped my recorder

Been at an intense work thing all week so belatedly catching up with bsky, which seems to be having fun with the bitcoin crash and the emo secret policeman, good to see

More broadly we're in one of the very, very few periods in global history in which, with some notable exceptions, life has got better for virtually everyone on the planet, consistently, for several decades. That's a hell of a mental bias towards Whiggish thinking to try and overcome.

People will often come close to directly stating this, such as their disbelief that Trump could order a nuclear strike. I remember in autumn 2016 people telling me that republicans would never let Trump be elected
i think there is a shared, cross generational belief that there is a “They” sitting in the background that will step in and prevent things from getting intolerably bad

Thinking back fondly to when salvia was legal. You could walk to the corner store and buy a little thing of scuzz that sent you straight to the hell dimension from EVENT HORIZON.

It makes sense that the actually-real global cabal of powerful pedophiles made destroying USAID one of their first priorities.
They have to protect the global supply of profoundly desperate poor kids - that’s exactly who they target for trafficking and rape.

The funny thing about a certain type of angry conspiracy guy is that they’re literally being confronted with an elite paedophile ring and a tyrannical government at the same time right now, and because it isn't being done by the people they wanted it to be done by they’re all being pussies about it

Mad to me that these sites don’t force / allow you to put dimensions in when you’re selling so that people can search by size. Seems such an obvious feature
People who advertise furniture on Gumtree or other available platforms without giving dimensions infuriate me. I sometimes send messages for things I had no intention to buy asking for the dimensions and then ghosting.

AI tools are immensely powerful. The use of AI as a general purpose chat bot that is used like an encyclopaedia is the worst possible use of AI. AI is now, given good instructions from a knowledgeable user, capable of doing absolutely vast amounts of work extremely fast.
lots of people, especially on here, are fastened onto the idea that it's just AI bro marketing or whatever to consider it a fixture of the information landscape. it's easy to think that when everyone in your circles is an ethical AI refuser. but I'm afraid it really has been mass adopted.
