Any pronouns. 33.

  • That was one person who phrased something poorly and it was taken out of context. Sadly.

  • At first I thought it was a bad translation but the site says they're HQed in Chicago so that seems a little unlikely (but not impossible). I wondered if it was the technical term (similar to how "spontaneous abortion" is actually a technical term for a miscarriage, shockingly), but I didn't immediately find anything, but I also didn't look super hard.

  • Oh wow, I just made a verification can joke about kidney replacements getting shut off if you go a week without drinking.

  • I called a gym to complain about some membership issue (the details are complicated and irrelevant) and the assistant manager told me that he had no way to contact corporate, he also told me the manager couldn't talk to me because he was having an in person meeting with his boss, you know, corporate.

  • I have seen a few TikToks lately of Christians showing ChatGPT conversations where it says that Christianity is the best religion (by whatever metric it's talking about). It's like, why would anyone find that convincing? The machine that lies isn't some sort of source of truth.

  • Brings a whole new meaning to the ol' "drink verification can" meme. The artificial kidney could scan the contents for firmware updates and stuff. Maybe it shuts off if you don't drink one every week.

    (This isn't the original text but it's close enough to get the joke. The dates and game were different in the original. This was what some copypasta website gave me.)

  • TIL about the Concorde aircraft that flew at twice the speed of sound, and thad passenger flights from NY to London in three hours (versus 7 hours)

  • Honestly I haven't seen it often. I think the first time I saw it was actually in a Crusader Kings 2 or Europa Universalis 4 tutorial video because it was an option you could do to your forts or something to reduce upkeep.

  • The irony being that in that very comment I even almost added something to the effect of "because they use it as a shield, as soon as you criticize their violence they accuse you of defending pedophiles" but I didn't think it was necessary.

    Thank you for trying to understand me instead of just seeing me as a monster.

  • I was taught if you don't have anything nice to say to not say anything at all. Generally if you feel the need to add "just being honest" you're probably just being rude.
