That’s understandable, it’s definitely not on the level of like a racial slur or anything. But if my niece or nephew blurted that out about someone I’d want to put a stop to it pretty quickly, you know?

And oh my god, that story about the kid is hilarious and adorable!

A doctor would say you have amblyopia and a polite person would call it lazy eye. Cockeyed is a proper English word, but it’s kind of rude when you use it to describe a person and not an object.

And while you’re at it, shell out the extra 50 cents or whatever for the bronze cut pasta. It has a much nicer texture and allegedly makes sauce adhere to the pasta more.

God, I wish Nintendo made the Pokemon games, because then they might actually not be ugly, terribly optimized garbage. Nintendo owns a minority share of The Pokemon Company, which is also owned by Game Freak and a company called Creatures. Each company takes care of different aspects of the franchise. Game Freak still does all the game development, and I wish they wouldn’t because they obviously don’t care about the franchise anymore and haven’t for quite a while.

That’s fucking crazy, especially to think this wasn’t even a problem (on the same scale) more than 5 years ago.

Another great one is seitan aka wheat meat, and it’s really cheap if you make it from flour rather than vital wheat gluten. Still pretty cheap if made from vital wheat gluten too.

Open to investigation: no

Open to sucking up your work and personal information: absolutely!

We need a catchy name for it… maybe Older Male Sibling?

Do you actually think the watermelon racist trope is because black people just happened to like watermelon a lot? Because if you do you need to go read up on it, and if you don’t then you need to stop trivializing the history of racist oppression by equating it with a joke about a snack purchase.

A thief thinks everyone steals.

Lmao, did the AI think the end of Trump’s gun was a burnt out cigarette?

Anyone who has been a pedestrian is also well acquainted with this. Cars watch for and expect other cars, not people (bikes, mopeds, etc). The amount of times I’ve almost been hit by someone who is staring intently at oncoming traffic and flooring it without looking anywhere else is too damn high.

Even if you perfectly solve crashes (doubtful, definitely not something that exists right now), the problems of microplastic pollution from tires and emissions from electricity generation are non-trivial.

God bless all the bots and brainless fucks cheering this clown into the championships of self made problems.

Honestly that is probably less dangerous than the regular streets of SF. Never felt more like I was about to die in a cab than I did riding in SF. Dude seemed to know what he was doing but it felt like a roller coaster.

This is someone moving furniture to sell I’m pretty sure, not homeless with their only furniture. Unless they have like 6 couches for some reason.

Bake in metric and rejoice when recipes actually work!

Using generative large language models (LLMs) like those behind ChatGPT and other AI chatbots, the system can brainstorm, select a promising idea, code new algorithms, plot results, and write a paper summarising the experiment and its findings, complete with references.

Wow, sounds even less useful than navel gazing internet comments. Can’t wait for scientific papers to have the exact same problems that a Google search does, where you’re inundated with barely relevant AI slop.

SFG’s marketing director said that as things stand farmers in Iceland are not managing to keep up with surging consumer demand, but said she hopes supply will be back to normal “in a week or so”.

Wow, sounds serious.

Ms Sveinsdóttir from the SFG also expressed some scepticism, suggesting other factors were at play. Some cucumber farmers replace their cucumber plants at this time of year, which are not yet producing large amounts, she said.

In addition to this, schools are returning from the summer holidays, which puts additional pressure on supplies.

“Everything is happening at the same time,” Ms Sveinsdóttir observed, but said the social media trend remained one of the main contributing factors.

“This is the first time we have experienced something like this,” Ms Sveinsdóttir said, adding that had the TikTok trend become popular earlier in the summer, “when the [cucumber] production was in full blast” and the shortage would not have been noticeable.

Wow, the Chinese propaganda is so sophisticated! They must have known about all these factors in advance to be able to minorly inconvenience people who want a salad for a whole week. 🙄
