(1/6) Hey everybody: For those who don't know me well, I'm a civil servant who works for the state of California. The civil service is the bulk of the gov't and we're hired, not elected. We generally bust our asses trying to do our jobs in spite of politicians; not with them.
So yeah, you can keep walking past Target for MULTIPLE reasons now.
Saving you from clickbait: It's ChatGPT. They're using ChatGPT as a shopping tool to help you find items to buy.

This is buried about 1500 words into the article which is mostly recapping the shareholder call where the execs admit the company is fucked due to boycotts.

The only "smart" tech i have in my apartment are Hue light bulbs, light switches, and a base station to coordinate them all. There are no mics or speakers anywhere and since I use a dumbphone, the smartphone that has the app for the lights stays turned off and lives in a drawer in a closet.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

When you keep in touch with most of your friends through electronic means, it's only natural that every now and then there's a lull where they're all busy touching grass at the same time.

I just wish that didn't always seem to come when I'm crashing mentally/emotionally.

Do not cross the picket line.
Starbucks can end this today: bargain in good faith, resolve unfair labor practices, and stop the union-busting.

Until then, workers are holding the line! #NoCoffeeNoContract

If the solution to a "civil disturbance" is the activation of Guard personnel literally 48 states away from said disturbance...
The Alaska National Guard has responded to public concerns around a rapid response unit trained for "civil disturbance operations:" 100 service members will be trained "to support civil authorities."

At the request of Gov. Dunleavy, they will deploy to Washington D.C. in March 2026.

I don't understand how an urgent memo about an urgent crisis that i wrote two hours after the crisis erupted still hasn't been escalated simply on the basis of my boss "not having gotten to it" yet. IT HAS BEEN TWO WEEKS

As someone who has multiple sets of wired headphones, I get this but...

...they literally make USB-C-to-3.5mm adapters? They even ship smartphones with them?

KOSS even has a whole line of products (Utility Series) that have interchangeable cords with 3.5mm, USB-C, & Lightning connectors.

Running the government like a huge, fiscally-conservative, multi-divisional corporation is indistinguishable from democratic socialism and people who disagree are just hiding behind "fiscal conservatism" as an excuse to be vile, despicable, greedy, xenophobic twats.
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

I've been seeing this headline floating around. To be clear:

1) This is "No. 1" on a miniscule chart, The "Country Digital Song Sales" chart, as in people actually paying money to download country songs which is a tiny amount of people

2) The actual consumers are almost certainly fake

Yooooo, any Seattleite furs make sure you track and check on your ballots!
SEATTLE!!!

We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

To sum up this thread, given recent events in the Chicagoland area due to ICE activity, for the safety of all attendees, especially international attendees, I am calling on @furfest.org to ban tactical gear & modern police/military costumes from the con space

That is the least I can ask from MFF
Furries, we need to talk about something very important. With Midwest FurFest just a month away, we need to address the elephant in the room

For the past few months, ICE, Border Patrol, & other federal agents have been storming throughout the Chicago area, where MFF is located (1/5)

I love to write furry romfic but i have this annoying hangup that stops me writing every time, it's so weird. I have this hot idea that probably started as a RP idea but never got played but then when i try and get motivated to write it out, it feels "silly" to me to write it? How do I stop this?

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.

They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.
