You’re right—swallowing the bird was a half-measure. The bird did eat the spider, as planned, but now you have a bird in you. It reminds you of swallowing the spider to catch the fly. You’re seeing the pattern.
Would you like me to suggest some animals which could eat the bird?

I’m developing a game where you have to go back to assassinate Adam. It’s a first person shooter.

First Christmas holidays in years where I haven't gotten a chance to rewatch Casablanca. Can't even remember what exactly happens in it, do Rick and Victor rekindle their old romance ( #Ricktor ) or whatever?

Realised I could have bought a game for a pound or so cheaper on a different site, my day is ruined, why even have a new year now?

In 2026, I really hope people stop saying "human" or "humans" in a "cutesy" way in situations where "person" or "people" would do.
"A good human", "a great bunch of humans" etc
I'm sorry, but this is Elon Musk-coded behaviour. It must end.

this is really NOT the important part but I keep thinking that if you are going as far as generating AI graphics for your internal studio powerpoint presentations you have lost the plot and are spending time making it look slick and not on making it informative and moving on to some other task
