I wish I could tell if this was fake. But I've worked in retail before

Well, speaking as a chronically homeless person, it's been stupid for five years.

It barely even says anything different. It's like switching out "starving masses" with "unfed persons," and I hope it does something for someone because it's not doing it for me

You can ask him five questions, but he won't be answering any of them.

I mean, sort of makes sense? I assume with the overkill in firepower, he expected to meet armed resistance. Way more than a security guard would actually pose irl. So that I can at least get my head around.

But if he wanted to sneak into the actual caves like the phrasing would suggest, why die in the bathroom?

Singing to my cat is one of the only reliable methods to make her get up and leave T_T

[-] Nepenthe@kbin.social 32 points 8 months ago

Not that I've done it myself, but to my knowledge, she does have a reaction and she's less nice about trusting you than you are about her own belief. Which is...predictably bitchy of her.

“I get good chat going, the AI is set up properly, very good start, like 10 messages in or so but then suddenly the AI decides I should cum and end it all,” another user said. “The thing is that the sex part haven't even started yet.”

Well, if it isn't my own intrusive thoughts

Ah, but give him all your stuff and you'll experience exciting interactions like discussing his cat over a date you didn't know you were on, and understanding exactly how badly you smell and how much he openly enjoys that! He's every incel's dream husbando!

“Why not take advantage of information the bad guys share willingly online? After all, they have friends lists, too,” one SocialNet video says.

*monitors random citizens' pregnancies*

This is acceptable. This is definitely normal.

Side note for anyone with a few days and $2 to spare, Orwell is apparently on sale and I encourage its consideration. It's literally what the government has decided to do, but with the player in the driver's seat and it's really good if you're into stuff like that.

[Don't assume consensus nor finished state]

Often a proposal is just that - someone trying to solve a problem by proposing technical means to address it. Having a proposal sent out to public forums doesn't necessarily imply that the sender's employer is determined on pushing that proposal as is.

It also doesn't mean that the proposal is "done" and the proposal authors won't appreciate constructive suggestions for improvement.

[Be the signal, not the noise]

In cases where controversial browser proposals (or lack of adoption for features folks want, which is a related, but different, subject), it's not uncommon to see issues with dozens or even hundreds of comments from presumably well-intentioned folks, trying to influence the team working on the feature to change their minds.

In the many years I've been working on the web platform, I've yet to see this work. Not even once.

.....?
What is this, "Good vibes only?"

For anyone genuinely wondering, this is a preauricular pit -- a birth defect that could rarely signal other, bigger issues but which is usually harmless by itself. It's just a random opening, it doesn't even connect to anything.

Eh, people kept awarding me, so I do have a couple left over from all that. Wasn't gonna use them because that would make me look like a tool, but this idea might be funny enough to sway me
