This makes me think of Love Island. Season 7 is my favorite so far, because it’s by far the most wholesome season, and it’s nice to see people resolving conflicts in a calm, mature, healthy manner.

It’s widely regarded by the overall Love Island fandom as the worst season though, because there’s not enough drama. Because people love watching things that make them unhappy I guess.

This also makes me think of The Great British Baking Show. It’s a competition show, sure, so people get eliminated which is sad. But all the contestants are nice to one another, the judges are honest but not mean, it’s just an all around wholesome time. Contrast that to all the other cooking competition shows out there, which are mostly adrenaline-fueled nightmares where everyone’s mean to everyone else. I just don’t get it man

So are you saying you’d be ok with your personal property being searched without a warrant on the suspicion that you might own child porn?

The Aztek may be ugly, but at least it’s functional and practical, at least for the purpose it’s built for.

Does that make the Midwest the tiara that gem is set into?

I want sex work to be legal and sex workers to enjoy the same standards and protections of any other worker. Forming a parasocial relationship with a fake digital entity should be way more harmful than paying for a sex worker’s services.

Ah yes, Lulu was the greatest work of Nomura’s belt era

Chunked and capped

… So you’d be ok with them getting run over and killed? Lmao

Honestly, a giant Rube Goldberg machine is a way better explanation for our thoughts than Gods

There are NFL prospects that don’t put up 8-12 reps at 225 during the combine, and those dudes are borderline superhuman. Like I know this is a joke thread on a meme post, but I just wanted to provide some context on just how difficult it actually is to bench press 225 pounds (really really really hard)

You understand rivers largely empty into oceans, right? Your tequila analogy leaves that part out. Eventually, you’re still dumping tequila (heat) into the pool (ocean).

If the heat made by the data centers can warm rivers, and those rivers can warm the oceans… Aren’t the data centers already warming the oceans? Which would mean that putting data centers directly in the ocean would definitely warm the oceans?

Is this a Kagi ad lmao

It’s not that weird for a space where the vast majority are men, unfortunately

Unfortunately

Windows 11 has evolved to a point where it works just really, really well when used on dedicated hardware.

In what reality? Because it’s certainly not the one I exist in

If the fediverse is shedding users, it’s because we still haven’t figured out a better way to explain federation other than “it’s like email”, the process of choosing an instance is vague and daunting, the process of moving to a new instance is vague and daunting, and people instance-police incessantly, creating a feeling that you have to choose the correct instance. That, plus the pervasive misogyny that rears its ugly head every once in a while.

I promise you though, people being “unwelcoming” by using silly terms is not why the fediverse is shedding users.

There’s some pretty obvious middle ground before making a deposit to the First National Bank of My Mattress. You could find a different bank that doesn’t use those captchas, or even do all your banking in person.

Couple different layers of joke, actually.

The first is that they didn’t actually misread $12B as $128, but saying so is a cheeky reference to how B and 8 look similar.

The second is sort of an attempt at absurdist humor. Obviously $128 is not going to get you very far towards building a physical AI engineer, and that question violates our rational expectations in a way that some find humorous.
