A calico would be LIVID to hear that. I know mine certainly wouldn’t tolerate that kind of perceived catphemy.

Obligatory ^ for tortie, the GOAT of coats.

I get that the general experience is prohibitively expensive, but I’m grateful for my insurance.

Shame on you for not thinking about all those poor shareholders and Meta’s market cap.

Free him from his inner demon(s)?

I have eyes only for Lizzie.

The sacrifice and courage of Soviet soldiers in the face of Nazi aggression is profound and worthy of admiration, yes.

Should be noted that Stalin was a Hitler-enabler and early ally, or at least subtle collaborator, leading up to the onset of the war. The western democracies should have done a better job of building a coalition with Stalin in the thirties, but failed, hoping appeasement and hand-wringing would do the trick instead.

Soviet soldiers also invaded Finland around that time and were complete assholes there, even if they did get their asses handed to them by a numerically-inferior, but fierce fighting source. It’s sad that most of the slaughter was inflicted upon Ukrainian conscripts who probably didn’t actually give a shit about annexing Finland.

Turbines extract energy from flowing fluids. They’d make it worse, if anything.

In Snow Crash, dentatas seemed like one of the more effective deterrents.

If only there were some way to provide a society where women felt safe, secure, and comfortable to willingly bring in and care for new life. If only.

Triple dog dare you to stick your tongue on it.

Luckers and soosers.

I appreciate the article’s punny title, but they could have taken it further. “Bad Buy Dubai: Private Jet Prices Soar as Wealthy Take Flight from Dubai”

Wonder why the wealthy aren’t interested in private submarines. Seems safer from an escapism and survival perspective and probably cost just as much as a flimsy easy-target Gulfstream.

Taste tester: this doesn’t taste as good as i remember…

Manufacturers: Just up the MSG and/or HFCS by another 10%.

It’s almost as if LLMs don’t (or can’t) actually give a shit about humans or whether they exist.

Maybe it means the kinetic energy of the wind, which I believe scales against its velocity-squared?

Impotent Asshat Once Again Fails to Contribute Anything of Value, Instead Wastes Everyone’s Time and Money Chasing Windmills

XKCD-it. Got it.

That’d be a great TV show plot…but I’m not really a fan of violence. I’d be more interested in rendering them unusable, or spoofing them into making loud fart noises or letting out a loud wolf whistle everytime someone else walks by. Like I said, I don’t know, nor do I much care, what kinds of things the glasses do…but I imagine theres some kind of screen the user can watch, so maybe forcing them to view something annoying could be another viable spoof.
