“That day, she was amazed to discover that when he was saying ‘As you wish', what he meant was, 'As a friendly reminder, please ensure interactions adhere to the guidelines provided. Let me know how you would like to proceed'."
It's almost like there's no sense-makers left at the DoD/W since they fired everyone in November. And that was *after* they fired all the people of colour, women and transpeople. The coup's over and done. Only sadists left.
One of the absolutely shocking ways the NHS is broken. Soon to graduate deaf-blind, oxygen dependent doctor did not qualify for accessibility accommodations (?!) on her assignment and is being sent to the Isle of Wight. Can you imagine?!

Does anyone have a news feed they like? On Twitter that stuff just appeared organically and I felt at least a little informed. Serendipity doesn't seem as easy to achieve here!
Phew! Escaped the camera on this occasion.
*hums*
That's got to be a bad idea though. What else would it drive away? What else would it *attract*?! I mean I don't go outside so a road full of spiders isn't my problem, but... hmm.

Many have tried to make HG Wells' The Time Machine prophetic over the years, but I think AI could actually do it. Split us right down the middle - preserving practical skills and critical thinking over here <-, relying on fantasies and delusions to tell us what to do over there ->.
Conspiracy theories are so self defeating. I will *never* understand why someone with a disease that strips your teeth of enamel and eventually, your mouth of your teeth, would decide being anti-fluoride was the perfect choice for them.
I'd say I hope the guilt eats them alive with every death they hasten - but I know it won't. Unfeeling monsters who'd do anything for a vote. The irony is, the people who like denying trans kids their mental health will *never* vote Labour.
Nah, that's not sacrilegious. Potatoes are even native. Sacrilegious would be pasta.
I know title case is a thing but that kind of rampant capitalisation behaviour isn't great for readability - though better than all caps. If we retire it maybe the NYT will cease to be and that can only be a good thing.
Lovely show, and yes, certainly some feels! Flatmate loved it
too despite mostly avoiding Danson stuff. Good break from the bleak murder telly we're used to!
His characters seem to deliberately and consistently make choices that I find incomprehensible, so while I usually enjoy the aesthetic, the plot hits all my cringe buttons on the way down.
Today I learned that Siri has a 'regional' female voice. So much better.
Just know there is literally no way to sign off an email that someone somewhere won't find offensive, so it genuinely doesn't matter.
Indeed. And not only that but it uses llm parsing on your query now to look for what it thinks you want instead of what you asked for. It's slop all the way down :/
I think it's one of those things that is a fundamental divide for some. Food is fuel is a 100% true statement, but it absolutely horrifies me at my core! In my mind, delicious should be a human right, along with the internet and 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep.
A flatmate also did this (for cheaps, not hench). I wasn't even that much of a cook back then but I was horrified by how bad it must've tasted (he augmented with ketchup). I've since realised that quite a lot of people just have bland palates and don't mind eating this stuff.
Glad you like it!
I'm also wondering what celebrity / character he most resembles. Ron Swanson? Lord Flashheart? Mike Wozniak @mikewozniak.bsky.social?
A cartoon version of Willow the cat, transformed by some adorable, evil power into a cute bat.
The original cat-tiger. His very well delineated orange moustache sets him apart from the rest.
A taster CatBat for the audience at home. This is Willow. He belongs to @cynicalcylon.bsky.social. Say hi to Willow!
Willow has already completed a partial transformation into a tiger. We have facilitated his full transmogrification into a cat-bat-tiger hybrid. 11/10 would pet (carefully).
Opening That AI App because know your enemy or something. My god. The way they've built it up to pepper every query with flattery, little jokes and asides like it's actually capable of conversation... it's absolutely terrifying. Things shouldn't be allowed to pretend to be alive, and your friend.
And on top of that, I have CSF fluctuations.
Excess vitamin a (if you can't absorb the proper way they inject with high doses) causes high CSF pressure - which may result in headaches, and blindness.
I need a specialist so I don't overshoot, but I don't think I'm going to get one.
Help?
Malabsorption > Vitamin A not getting through > stored iron not being released.
The iron I have in my blood is *all I've got*.
My body cannot process enough iron in a day to replace what it uses. And it can't use its stores because it has lost the fucking key.
This is crazy.
Now this is a little convoluted.
Mounjaro doesn't directly cause iron deficiency. Instead it causes malabsorption of nutrients. Something I already experience with my acid reflux meds (B12).
I'm low on iron because I'm unable to absorb vitamin A. Vitamin A releases your body's store of iron.
So a month or so ago I learned I had possibly the simplest form of iron deficiency. This cleared up some things: why my rls had become actual torture, and why my hair was turning straight (ew).
I was not expecting it to break my bipolar.
I was not expecting cardiomyopathy.
The cause? Mounjaro.
I feel like the games he played were more faux-intellectual. He seems to have loved putting opposites in a room and warming himself on the flames. His brand of flattery and enablement was directed at the whole political spectrum. He didn't discriminate, he wanted every fellow bastard to owe him.
Yes! It's so funny. I've never had to put my glasses on top of my head until the last year, and now I do it all the time - it's weird becoming a stereotype. Reading the very small text without my glasses makes me feel uncharacteristically powerful :D
By which I mean, I want to be convinced. So many people I know and love say yes, there is a conspiracy. But I've read all the same things, and just can't see it. I see a self interested douchebag who advanced himself by criminally & repugnantly catering to his own & other people's peccadillos.
Don't really have anywhere sane to ask this. Where do you go for more info if you think Epstein was no good, terrible & disgusting, but you don't think he was engineering a global right wing conspiracy (at least beyond the one that kept him safe from repercussions, rich and happy?). Conflicted.
