Nothing lies to you quite like the washing machine that's been "13 minutes left" for 30 minutes.

I hate having to ask for help again, but when you're suddenly $10,000 in the red because of a bank garnishment I really don't have much of a choice.

"Epic CEO angry that customers want to be informed and will refuse to purchase products they feel were made unethically so wants to take that choice away". There, fixed it for you.

We got to make using AI to figure out personal gifts a social crime. Most gifts suck to begin with but now you’ve literally taken the thought out of it’s the thought that counts

I'm an "A.i." abolitionist.

No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything.

Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine.

But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires?

No.

I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

The boss bringing out Pizza might as well be Defcon 1 (or whatever) for places like this. Please keep calling! Especially the next 5 days!
Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.

What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

Dubbing will continue to stagnate until serious time and consideration is given to the pattern of severe undercutting that is prevalent in the industry. Budgets are getting slashed on workers who were already expected to cut corners with low pay. Adapters and translators are your backbone.

Just got informed we basically no longer have rent assistance and are now scrambling to cover rent so we can buy some time to figure out what is going on.

We need $640 by the 6th to avoid a late fee. Please if you can help or even just share 🙏🏻

So I went Full Journalism and think I've discovered why several folks have shared the same image saying "Writer" isn't a valid job.

It's from a medical screening questionnaire. Here's my explainer! BUT ALSO here's a link to the metadata from my original image.
