When I die, don’t look for me in the sunsets. Look for me in the buildings that obviously used to be a Pizza Hut.

first paragraph is more disturbing than the porn stuff. if you rely on the plagiarism machine for anything, YOU have mental health problems 🫵🏼🤡

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

Same! Total hysto at 37. Kept my ovaries, but this peri menopause stuff is a nightmare and doctors are worthless.

There is zero plausible deniability with this necklace. None. Fucking sick.

I’ve been looking for the perfect vintage curtain valance for weeks. I just found and bought one from Urban Outfitters of all places. I’ve never shopped there, but super happy to have found exactly what I wanted without having to make it myself!

The other day I woke up remembering the phone number for a boyfriend I had 20 years ago.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

One thing about this whole rebrand that just kills me is that her hair and makeup are much improved. Which tells me it was likely intentionally bad in the first place. That probably seems dumb, but makes me wonder who is behind it.

She’s a beaut, Clark! I fucked up the crust crimp, though 😫

Just put my homemade apple pie in the oven! I’ve imbued it with one of my favorite albums to listen to (especially in the fall).

I know this is a Debbie Downer take, but every time I go to the store and look at bags of Halloween candy I think about how many hours an employee at that same store has to work to buy one bag of candy

Oooooh! Company sanctioned day dreaming time!

If there’s someone in your life that’s super observant, gives great gifts and makes your life events special (especially if you’ve told them that) try to put in a little effort when it’s their turn. They’ll appreciate it. I promise.

I’ve never felt so seen 😭
I mean that honestly. I thought the same thing when I saw it the first time.
