And in forbidding it tacitly acknowledged that their employees would have found it useful for their work.

My dad is independently trying to figure out how he can use chatgpt to work for him. He's like "haha I'm going to stick it to the man". Like dude, if you saw it they saw it too.

we have them too, we call them trayush caines.

:downbear:

You can't sometimes be on the side of creating cold war. Why are you even here?

yes thank you! Shoe faced, human-like flowing hair, peggy little feet where you can see all the bones. 🐎 wtf even is this?

why did they suddenly decide to charge more? If they always had that price making power, why weren't they already using it to charge as much as they could?

I listened to the Richard Wolff episode and he never covered this, even after I was shouting into my device my question.

His it-really-is-that-simple schtick got tired. Why wouldn't he answer my question?

The only possible answer would be that covid gave them an excuse. Oh I'm sorry, capitalists need an excuse to raise prices or else they cannot get away with it? Sounds unlikely, knowing capital the way I know it.

holy shit I quit smoking during the pandemic so I guess I've been quit for about 3 years.

I don't nic anymore so every day I wake up with free extra lifespan :free-real-estate:

ok well that was actually a vacation idea I was having.

My family, we always went to like myrtle beach for vacation but what I want to do is go to a real city and sample the arts.

I wouldn't fit in though.

It's two fold. First there's the part with the suits. I'd feel completely out of place at a classical concert. (the movie also made me feel this way. Half the references Lydia made went over my head. Classical music itself is like this, pieces have allusions to other pieces)

Then there's the part where I go back home to my job at the hillbilly shop and people say "so what'd you do on your vacation", oh yeah I went to see Mahler at the Met. I can't share it with anybody.

Art is communicative and person-to-person. It's about sharing. Lydia's world is a highly highly gatekept garden of exclusions. She decides to impose auditions on a solo that didn't need auditions. Is she an artist or is she a gatekeeper?

the word based.

The words fully automated luxury gay.....

the word zoinked

the act death grips

(some of these are false shiboleths to throw off the :fedposting: )

Maybe you have to watch it with the eyes of boomers who haven't already seen Rick and Morty. It had too much Marvel contagion to be more than a B+.

is the Whale a reddit movie?

What about the male desire to piss all over every toilet seat? I don't want to sound like a bathroom Nazi. My preference is that there's gendered bathrooms and everyone leaves everyone alone about which one they choose. I don't think non gender bathrooms are bad either but what we have works fine for the people who matter (nobody except a bathroom Nazi has ever complained)

I heard a b52 interview on NPR and man those are some fun having motherfuckers. I'd rather be in their band than any band.

I do use the urinal with my genitals hanging out, to be fair. I could see ungendered bathrooms if they replace the urinals with stalls. OR I could just get used to it but there would be some getting used to it.

Sorry in advance, this is gross but....if I were to stick my finger in my cheeks and poke my butthole and then...sorry.....smell my finger, I wouldn't smell anything except Irish spring. I'm also plagued by itchy but themes but never again.

ok are you REALLY washing your butthole really really good?

When it's itching and you do a test wipe, is there any bit of brown on the paper?

So when I say I wash my butthole, here's what I mean: I lather up in between my checks, scrub my butthole firmly with my finger, follow up with a clean rag for a bit of scrubbing abrasion, and rinse rinse rinse.

Buttholes are pretty deep down in the cheeks. I suspect you're not REALLY cleaning. I went through the same thing.

I think I caught a girl looking at my arms. I move boxes at work so maybe I have a little bit going on but since that moment I'm doing pushups all the fucking time.

I guess I don't believe that girls actually like muscles because it's too uh obvious.

I enjoyed econ and I see no reason to argue with it but like the problem is, ok they have the chapter on market failures. Like what if market failures are HUGE in scale? You know there's the one chapter and then they move "ok but the rest of this is true....". What if market failures are MOST of the story? The textbook should be 95% market failure and 5% equilibrium stuff.

Nothing about this has seemed right. Ok so there's media clampdown. Why is this damn falconry account being the dissent, the voice in the dark ? Weird weird weird, every last part.

Oh honey...

Dickens is neat, he's sentimental and sympathetic and all the characters are a kind of guy, sanctimonious lib, incel, manchild. Bleak house, every kind of guy they'd invented at the time was in that book.

my guess is that they don't want to shoot it down (even if they could which they couldn't) because they'd rather every goober in Kansas go out to their backyard with a pair of binoculars to look for it. The balloon is on tour generating hype for the tiktok ban.
