there is basically never a wrong time to offer to cook for someone, to offer to help with their chores, to offer to watch their kids or run and errand for them, or bring them something to brighten their day.

If your knee-jerk reaction to artists despairing over massive lay-offs and the further erosion of entire creative industries is anything but solidarity with the artists, rethink everything.

a fun thing about canadian media laws is reliable sources of info can’t post on the most popular social media platform but clickbait news sites can create sidebrands where they market real estate without saying the condos in this building cost $1.2 to $8.6 million because then that’d be cringe

REMEMBER: All the "Don't use em-dashes" "don't use rule of three" advice because it makes your writing "look like AI" is because they stole actual writers work, and their "predict the next thing" stuff just simulates what WE FUCKING DO. Keep writing well. Use every style and trick you have. Fuck AI.

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching.
Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

everyone signing on to be a part of the new HBO Max Harry Potter series is endorsing this and should be treated accordingly
You all need to treat Harry Potter IP like we’re treating the Tesla brand.

I will never understand hateful people. Like why are you so bothered by someone else’s life choices? Is your main character syndrome so acute that you cannot fathom not being the Most Important One in everyone’s lives? How sad, honestly. How empty you must be. Go, like, grow a tomato or something.

I swear to Christ, the biggest problem on this hellsite is the fact that so many people are convinced that they are the only competent person in the room.

When I say you don’t have to worry about microplastics in your brain I mean that there is much stronger evidence that you should be worrying about other things that you don’t ever think about, like the draining of peatlands for agriculture, and things that you think about all the time, like fascism.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
