My kitty is young and wants to play fight but won’t scratch or bite me. I think she’s afraid I’ll get mad? Like, girl, you can maul my shit and I will keep going

Monkey’s paw twist: Your payment is new printed money, devaluing the currency

I’m not OP but I think it means “Providers are saying consumers should accept subscription-based models without complaint”

I asked a dealer for a dumb-car. No fucking auto 911 dialing, bluetooth enabled, GPS service horseshit, just a normal car and he shot me

Are you a software developer?

Why is that the requirement to vote third party?

I don’t need to have a replacement ready. It’s enough for me to say that the current system does not work.

Tanky is authoritarian communist / Lenninist

Nobody asked but I had to share this

It’s important to me that everyone understands the joke, even if that understanding robs them of the joy of it. “Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog. It kills it”.

But it’s important because I suffered a lot of being left out as a kid. Others found how good it felt to be exclusive, and shoulder me out of things, or refuse to explain things, or whatever it was that made me the outcast. I could tell from their faces that they love the way it felt when they did that to me. But it hurt me a lot.

I don’t want there to be any exclusivity anymore. Nobody deserves that pain. I want everyone to understand the joke, even if that prevents them from ever laughing at it.

The thought experiment suggests that over a long enough period of time, every possible combination of letters would be typed out on a keyboard, including Hamlet.

“You know, over a long enough period of time, monkeys smashing typewriters randomly would eventually produce Hamlet”

“The universe isn’t going to last that long.”

that thing looks like a pip boy. i don’t want to carry any of the others you tested into battle

this is interesting as fuck

“I’m really interested in algorithmic enforcement …” Ada Ada Ada told me in an interview. “It seemed like the nipple rule is one of the simplest ways … because it’s set up as a very binary idea—female nipples no, male nipples, yes. But then it prompts a lot of questions: what is male nipple? What is a female nipple?”

She’s using her own journey as a trans person to document how AI tools like those used by Instagram identify potentially obscene material.

That’s like saying I don’t need to clean my room if I can just shove everything into the closet

I don’t know if the comparison is inaccurate.

You make money from advertising to your users (“ddg situation” notwithstanding), are beholden to your investors (private status notwithstanding) and need to see more users to increase revenue. The person above you is saying that this model is what will drive you to eventually be as bad as Google. Do you understand?

What if you want to use the computer for something other than Google searching?

I hoped for a second they meant moneyless.

Do you have any more info about this?

I’m a new user and I don’t know the lingo yet. Can you tell me what a tanky is?
