I’ve seen stuff like that happen, it’s rough.
There’s a very fine line between “I don’t care about anything” and “I care about this thing so much that I’m yelling on the street casually waving around this revolver”. That second part is unfortunately sourced from personal experience when someone I cared about was not on their meds. The worst part is how quickly the mood can shift.
I’ll never fully understand your struggle, but I know it’s rough and I hope you’re doing better.
Oglaf could be more NSFW overall, but it’d be hard. It does have panels with SFW imagery but I can’t think of anything I’d share with my boss.
For that use case, Gen AI lets you draw from thousands of pieces into a singular reference image in seconds tailored to whatever you can ask for. And, yeah, very imperfect and questionably sourced, but you’ve eliminated countless hours of work that could ostensibly be directed towards just fixing any problems created (Rare, but that’s how they sell it). And then, if you don’t like the result there, you can just get a fresh one in another few seconds.
I think it’s useful enough that it’s going to keep being a bigger and bigger problem.
I like it, but awards are mostly barely disguised advertising campaigns. I can see why negative ones are rare.
For me, I am super interested in Star Metal.
In case anyone is wondering, Home Depot is claiming this is meant to deter overnight parking. This is something that has precedent elsewhere, but the timing of the installation with the recent ice raids is very interesting.
Oh god, I thought it was like a checkbox or two, but yeah, I don’t want to solve puzzles to access a site.
I’ve never been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, but we have a very healthy family history.
It’s obviously a great feeling, but “There are things that I am passionate about” can be the worrying part, can tend to end up a little too passionate.
I feel like the play with EVs is an SUV/Truck. They’ve got a new electric truck ostensibly coming out next year that’s pretty cheap, should have plenty of space.
The meme was originally from a webcomic called Oglaf, It’s very NSFW and the site for the webcomic is mostly impossible for search engines to index. It’s also not easy to navigate as a human either so most have forgotten about it.
Bit of a clarification, tracking dots is not a specific federal law, it is worse. Printer manufacturers voluntarily agreed to this deal with the US government and also agreed to keep it a secret.
I’d actually really like to see more data on the benefits beyond just the pain relief/etc, wondering if there is a noticeable affect on birthing complications when going without an epidural. I feel like there could be a world where having an epidural reduces the possibility of complications, but obviously we can’t trust just our feelings.
We’re going anecdotal here, but here’s mine. Not going to out myself, but this used to be a pretty heavy part of my job, we were looking at significantly more than a thousand and our workforce was very mobile so we might have been plugging/unplugging/etc more than y’all.
The increase in replacements on docking stations went up dramatically for us when our main vendor first switched to USB-C docks from the old proprietary connectors they used to have. That had already been rough switching from the rock solid docking stations you would actually sit your laptop on top of. I’m not working in that area anymore, but I have friends that are still there and they say it has improved with the docking stations themselves mostly being reliable, but the USB-C cables are the major point of failure and there is difficulty in sourcing the right USB-C cables without the docking station. Main problem being that even the ones the vendor recommends as potential replacements frequently don’t work at all and if they do don’t tend to hold up. Supposedly, price of cables that they’ve tested to definitely 100% work is close enough to the price of a docking station that they just kind of gave up on fixing it and just treat the entire docking station package as disposable. USB-C standards get crazy y’all.
Vendor also had a few years of seriously flaky USB-C ports on their main enterprise line that did not help. Frequently left us in a situation with piles of computers that were just a brick because there was no way to charge it. Still under warranty, but man, user experience was not great, it made it to the point where people outside of IT were talking about it and that’s always a real bad sign.
Wow, this image is not showing up on any reverse image searches.
Would say we can track down the artist, but think you might have drawn this yourself OP.
When comparing it to the average US diet, it is crazy. They recommend around 32g for Adult Males, for reference, a serving of Metamucil (popular fiber supplement) has 2.4g of Fiber.
I have it too, I know you’ve probably tried a lot to make it go away, but ‘Habituation’ really worked for me. It’s basically just pretending you don’t hear it and trying to ignore it until you don’t think of it. Sounds incredibly frustrating I know but just sharing my experience. I hope it gets better for you my friend.
There’s also a trick where you basically thwack the back of your head repeatedly that used to give me a temporary reprieve. It’s kind of magic, but doesn’t last long.
Don’t give them ideas, they will not hesitate to run Hunter Biden.
We get variations of this story pretty often.
We had some interesting discussions along the lines of people who backed both AOC and Trump about a year ago. AOC did a bit trying to engage them to understand the overlap better. The common theme then was that among right-leaning areas in the right-wing media bubble, Trump is seen as being strongly aligned with the working class and a lot of people voted for him because of his positions on the economy and cost of living.
I searched for ‘Stereotypical US Male’ and got a guy wearing a Cowboy Hat, black tank top, jeans, and a sleeveless plaid vest. He also has a killer beard, rocking some sunglasses, and is holding a cheeseburger that looks delicious. And, yes, I do have all the items to recreate this look in my closet, but my cheeseburger is not going to compare.
Looks like it sourced the pic from here: https://nypost.com/2025/05/05/tech/heres-what-ai-thinks-american-men-look-like-its-embarrassing/ Damn if Nigeria isn’t absolutely rocking that suit.
One thing I miss from reddit is the meme accounts. Shittymorph is a hero.
