If anyone's tryna reach me through Dissed Cord, it's not working for me. It just loads for thirty seconds and then crashes.

So about ten years ago I found a small network of bots on Reddit dedicated to spreading hate. The thing about it is that these weren't even responding to political topics - they were just responding to random keywords with insults and hate.

The same bots are now here. You should understand why. 🧵
this is kind of a niche issue but: if you are getting weird and hostile responses that feel a little off, there are some folks on here making accounts that automatically reply to large quantities of posts in a vaguely hostile manner. you can ignore them, and also, it's not personal

people think that Ai generated results come from some magical computer spirit that they are too dumb to understand. no, tech bros are exploiting people.
I see a lot of people talk about the environmental costs of AI. I don't see as much about the human exploitation behind it.

THANK YOU I have given up telling people 'it's not food poisoning, you don't have X or Y symptoms and you had symptoms way too fast and also there is no 'little bit' of food poisoning you either have it or you don't. It's probably something else.' It takes TIME for most bugs to make you sick!!!
I have news…that place where you got food poisoning is probably not where you got the food poisoning.

Time between exposure and symptoms:

Campylobacter: 2-6 days
E. coli: 2-5 days
Salmonella: 6 hrs-6 days
Norovirus: 12-48 hrs
Shigella: 1-3 days
Staph aureus: fast
Listeria: 9-48 hrs

Reminder to Nightshade every. Single. Piece. Of art.

Because idiots like this will take your stuff, feed it to AI, and proudly show it off as 'Fixed'.

Do not engage the account. Block and report.

Legendary Japanese illustrator Kazuo Hozumi has passed away at the age of 94.

Hozumi was the first Japanese menswear illustrator, most famous for his "Ivy Boy" cartoon character. But he had a huge range and was a very stylish guy himself.

Alex's deadline is Saturday. If you've ever shared an 'oh no' comic - especially if you shared this doctored one with a fourth panel added! rude! - then chuck them a quick donation for their horrible, horrible legal battle.

A thread on colourblindness & #gamedev -

If your approach to colourblindness is full screen filters, you're *doing it wrong*, and causing more problems that you're solving.

If you see a game that has filters, they're doing it wrong. If you see a game that has a 'strength' slider - don't copy it.

Talking myself down from wearing my new BDSM shirt to Thanksgiving dinner.

I can’t obviously. Obviously I can’t. It wouldn’t be appropriate. But I AM THANKFUL FOR BUSSES, OK?

Wanna try and get all the Objects outta the old unit today so we have two days to clean and also I can touch up the baseboards in a few spots where the rats decided it tasted better than the log I got specifically for the purpose of gnawing. Lil shits.

Well, seeing as I have seen more than one truck with a sticker that reads 'My truck was made with TOOLS, not CHOPSTICKS.', I think a lot of Americans are in for an extremely rude awakening wrt the origins of our goods.
So what's the duty on a honda civic with the engine transmission and tires made in America and assembled in Alliston Ontario Canada ? Se the problem yet ? How about the Japanese airbags ? Same applies to Ram trucks that are made in Mexico?
