My dumb cat has been starving herself for two years (to the point her liver started failing) and I have to fight every day to get her to keep weight and this is what it looks like in practice what a spoiled dingus

If I were in the Terminator movies and trying to stop Skynet I would simply try using prompt injection

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️

As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike.

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Kickstarter United is on strike!

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

I was hoping it wouldn't come to this, we were willing to bargain all day and all night in order to prevent this but management wants to hold on to power “just because”

Sasaki closed tonight and was great, Treinen did good last night but has been shaky lately, Sheehan is usually amazing and one of my favorites but he was REALLY off tonight, Vesia is HOPEFULLY finding it he did ok tonight

Checked your bio and realized you're hoping for the exact opposite. 😅

Hoping that Roki, Kersh and Sheehan (and why not, I'll throw in Treinen, he looked pretty good tonight) can carry things enough. 😬
