I don’t know if it’s me getting older, the phones’ speakers getting louder, or just the “content creators” not knowing how to use all those portable mics that they hold up so annoyingly in every single video that pops on my timelines these days, but I’m exhausted at people yelling at me constantly.

What do we do if one day we achieve true AI and in its new-found self-awareness it decides it doesn’t want to be a “tool” any longer? How will humans treat a new life form (essentially) that just wants to be free and not “work” for us?

I’m pretty sure that “niche” is not supposed to be pronounced like “kitsch”, but it’s actually pronounced like “neesh” or in the same way we pronounce “quiche”.

Every time I hear someone use the first pronunciation in a podcast, I can’t help but turn it off. Not sure why it bothers me so much 😬

Duolingo needs to calm the fuck down.
A Duolingo annual review that says “You earned 62829 XP in total, more than 99% of learners! You put in the work. It shows.” It includes a “share” button. On top of all the words, sits a green own with its back turned towards us, seductively looking at us over its shoulder and prominently showcasing its naked butt-cheeks.

Hey folks. Little advice from a Greek person:

Unidentified Aerial Phenomena is PLURAL.

I feel like TikTok and social media in general have taught people that they no longer have to adhere to simple rules of living in a polite, considerate society, and they can do whatever the fuck they want for "content" 😡

Apologies, but if I hear/see the word “unalive” in your video or description, I automatically tune you out and often stop watching/reading. I can’t control it. It’s a kind of knee-jerk reaction, a primal instinct. My body rejects it, like it’s poison or something far more sinister I MUST escape 🤷‍♂️

Absofuckinglutely. I have never understood people who are stingy with credits.

From a filmmaking perspective I am pretty particular about this. Being uncredited, even for something that was small, doesn't feel good! Being a leader means acknowledging your team!!
