The Demon in repose. You'd never know that he was, all tasmanian devil-like, picking fights with Jones in the wee hours. They started in the kitchen, down the hall, and into my bedroom. Scattering my hamper, wastebasket, and recycling bins.

THE DAY CARES ARE LOCKED BECAUSE YOU MADE A GENERATION-LONG EFFORT TO MAKE IT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE TO KILL THE CHILDREN INSIDE THEM YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING GHOULS
these fucking people. they pass laws to make sure every person with a screw loose who wants an Armalite can show up to the day care armed & ready to kill, then complain that the day cares are locked to protect the children inside
CNN: “Surely you don’t think a daycare should be unlocked.”
SHIRLEY: “There should be a reception area.”
CNN: “No, every day care is locked.”
SHIRLEY: “Fair point.” 🤔
He shows up to a day care with masked men and wonders why they don’t let him in.

Kids are so savage. Tell me why I just overheard one at the store telling another “I don’t know who you think you’re talking to like this when you act like someone who eats dry cereal for breakfast because your daddy left for milk and never came back. Guess we can see why”

Lyft took the car. I’m currently trying to appeal the decision but it’s a waiting game. I’m unemployed and facing homelessness because of it. And absolutely none of this is my fault. My mental state is in shambles. Please repost. Any help is appreciated

this is correct, though
if you're gonna do it then do it, I don't want romances written because someone wants to check the box I want romances written by sickos with decade-old AO3 accounts

Anyway this won't be popular but I think the worst videogame romance subplots are very clearly the ones where the studio felt skittish and uncomfortable about writing romance instead of diving head first into it like the ao3 fanfic writers they should be

I have been seeing a new trend on social media of neurodivergent/depressed people motivating themselves to clean by putting on Celtic or medieval music and pretending they're an innkeeper cleaning up their tavern.
I just...I love neuroweird people, man. I love us.

If you see this post a random fact about yourself (if you feel like):
In college, I got so mad at a professor that I changed my major just to have his class removed from my transcript. It cost me a year, and I had to finish the original degree at another school 🤘😎
But hey, now I have two!

Remember:
When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them.
When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips.
ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

i don’t see how any of the benefits of chatgpt and other consumer-facing LLMs can possibly outweigh their incredible ability to induce suicides
Adam Raine’s life hurtled toward tragedy soon after he began talking with ChatGPT about homework. Analysis of his ChatGPT account shows how the chatbot became a confidant as he planned to end his life.

it was one of the worst parts of Twitter & there was an impulse to not do it back in Bluesky Before Times but now if you tell people "actually this sucks" they'll tell you it's praxis to quote-dunk trash takes & that shitting up the timeline is Good, Actually and "exposes bigots to sunlight" or w/e
Love you all, but I don't know about this trend of quote posting garbage takes to dunk on them. It ends up giving the OP all the attention in the world—and yeah, a lot of it is negative but you know what they say about all publicity being good publicity. This is what sub(posts) were invented for 👀😂

Have some Maple & Del, 16 weeks. They're littermates, but in the 2nd picture you can really see how much bigger Del is than his sister. He already outweighs her by over a pound. (She's normal sized. He's just huge 😂)
