its really hard to overstate the extent to which WW2 shaped both American society and the world as a whole, and how we're still living in its shadow in ways that most people just don't understand

hey @heatherosborn.bsky.social I am preserving these from twitter because once again OCR came up somewhere and I was like "wait, you have to hear the story of Ben and his anus..."

Tweet 1: REASONS SCANNED BOOKS MUST BE COPYEDITED PRIOR TO DIGITAL RELEASE #1: "the startled newcomer entered the room, and fell into Ben's anus."

Tweet 2: "He pulled her into his anus & held her till she calmed, continuing to assure her she was safe." I WOULD NOT FEEL SAFE THERE. #scanningerror

Tweet 3: Scanning error of the day: "He got up to sit beside her and put his anus around her, and he held her tight for a moment." #NeverGetsOld

Extremely unpopular opinion: I don't get the backlash to smart glasses in particular. I think it made a lot more sense in 2012 prior to ring, nest, etc... and when less than half of US adults had smart phones

Releasing a response but it's just the original diss in its entirety because nothing else could be more embarrassing

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

caranatar @caranatar.xyz · 3d

Yeah, okay, no, don't do this

Does anybody know how to make a fake town/small city map in the style of Google maps? I'm trying to map out Giuliani Gardens for a Swan Boy. I can't find an easy way to do it. This seems like a thing that should be out there for dummies to use.

I think there's also some room here in between "humans can't (possess the capability to) produce sentient machines" and "humans can't (fulfill the potential to) produce sentient machines" that gets flattened, if that makes sense.
