This is the funnest expression ever pulled in all of starwars history

Clearly you don't own an air fryer

It’s not an appliance the Jedi would sell you

I walked up to a restaurant entrance at the same time as this guy and he held the first door for me and then I held the second door for him and he said "we call that the Midwestern two-step" with a laugh and I've been thinking about it all day.

bUT IT WAS NOT YOUR FAULT BUT MINE

and it wAS YOUR HEART ON THE LINE

I REALLY FUCKED IT UP THIS TIME

didnt I MY Dear

It occurs to me, looking through a bunch of DNI lists and carrds (although it has surely been observed before by others), is that what the people who make these want is not unreasonable per se. Rather, what they are asking for is unreasonable, because what they want is to not be using social media. They want to be using forums, or group chats, or instant messenger, or blogs; they want online communication spaces that are moderated, that are topic-specific, that are limited to existing/vetted members. And these this desire is not unreasonable, but it does not match modern social media.

And because so many of the people who make these seem so very young, I wonder how many of them even realize that spaces that do what they want can (and used to, and still somewhat do) exist, realize that social media can't do what they want it to, but that social media is not the only way for the internet to be.

The most popular browsers in different countries in 2012 and 2022.

Nope! When Chrome first came to popularity, people switched over to it cause it was “faster” (turns out, it just eats through your device’s CPU) but since then Firefox has upped its game in a major way. Chrome just doesn’t measure up anymore. Plus, nowadays Chrome is just a data harvester designed to show hyper targeted ads - so even if Firefox ain’t for you, it’s still worth ditching Google for a different browser.

Legit though I switched to Firefox and it’s so so so much better

i’m gonna keep reblogging this ad infinitum so yall might as well convert now

remember that all chrome based browsers will no longer allow adblockers starting this june

the modern internet is literally unusable without one, so switch to firefox

it literally drives me insane that so many companies refuse to send rejection emails like it’s disgraceful tbh. you put so much time and effort into putting together an application and they can’t even be bothered tell you via some measly automated message that you didn’t get the job. you’re expected to just infer

Ted took one look at this man and was a little frightened. In a good way.

I've explained this exact thing to cis people multiple times. I often just brace myself before every flight to get a pat down. They always look shocked and horrified by the information.

And the funnest part of it all is airport security fucking sucks at their fucking job. The TSA in particular are so shit at their jobs its almost insulting. I get a pat down every time I show up, but my friend accidentally made it ALL the way through the airport and onto a plane with a loaded hand gun in a holster because they forgot they had it on them! And the TSA didn't catch it or do fucking shit about it!

I’ve learned from experience that these machines can’t tell the difference between a guy with contraband under his shirt and a trans man wearing a sports bra. Have to get patted down pretty much every time because I have the audacity to have visible stubble and boobs at the same time.

I need everyone to know that the ship Götheborg, the world's largest ocean-going wooden sailing ship, answered a distress call the other day.

Imagine waiting for the coast guard or whatever to show up and instead a replica of 18th century merchant ship pulls up and tows you to the coast.

pov: you’ve been transported to the 17th century

#in the article it says that the sailboat sailors were concerned because they could not be towed quickly because of the kind of boat#so they asked Götheborg what type of ship they were and warned that they would not be able to go above a certain speed#and götheborg went ' we are also a sailboat. 50 meters length. no worries :) '#and the poor sailboat sailors were just like ' That's not possible. they have to be messing with us' and then the ship Rolled Up (via bunjywunjy)

I'm crying. Here's a photo of a sailor from the Götheborg watching over the little sailboat in tow:

From the story:

"Our destinies were linked for very long hours" is just knocking me out.

the end result will be beneficial regardless of what happens now, because there's basically 3 options at this point:

-either it habsburgs itself into oblivion and that's the end of it

-they'll have to be way more careful with input which will drastically reduce the things they can do and also make it easier to check what exactly is going in (basically crippling the thing)

-they'd have to find built-in methods to make the generated images distinguishable from the original ones to avoid inbreeding, but this would of course mean *anyone* would be able to use these methods and therefore generated images would become much easier to spot

it's dying either way!!!

yes!!! death to ai art!!!!!!!

reblog to kill machine learning images being passed off as art faster

FUCK YEAAAAA

I hate the “open floor plan” that everyone is obsessed with in houses now. I want nooks and crannies and bizarre floor plans. I don’t need to be able to see what someone is doing on the other side of the house. I want places to hide and lurk and dwell in the shadows. I am the beast who awaits in the labyrinth

The creator of these images is Matt Bernstein, one of my favorite educators online -- he makes incredibly clear, forceful collections of information like this one. He's queer, has fantastic nails, and has done a lot of education recently from his perspective as a Jewish person on why supporting Palestine is so important. Here's a link to this post, which he created for World AIDS Day on 12/1/23.

If a worker who isn't the owner says ANYTHING similar to "I'm not really supposed to do this but-" and then does something that helps you, under no circumstances inform the business, including through reviews. You tell them that the worker was polite, professional, the very model of customer service and why you like to go there. You do not breathe a word of the rulebreaking.
