My posts would be sooooo popular if people would buck up and have a crush on me already

It’s not that I don’t have a lot of work experience it’s that I don’t have a lot of employment experience. But if I can’t nicely fill in the boxes in the application, then nobody cares how much care I put in or how much skill I have or how all my experiences come together to make me a good fit. Who was your last employer? Nothing else is relevant.

i've got the kind of eyebags that make people in movies say 'you look like hell, detective. go home.'

american blackbirds are icterids but european blackbirds are thrushes but american robins are thrushes but european robins are flycatchers and they are named robin because (checks notes) brits in the 1400s called them "robert" on account of they are just some familiar guy who shows up in your yard. hold on post canceled is that really why they are called that? what the fuck. they did this with jackdaws and magpies too? i can't even be annoyed. how human. "who's that? that's bob." fuck dude it sure is.

The “Free People Vibes, Amazon Prices” ad I keep getting on here is insane to me. I know Free People is a clothing brand but it really reads as “Amazon’s clothes are cheaper because we exploit people”

Really fucking unfair to have insomnia and a medication that makes me sleepy that I’m supposed to take in the morning.

funniest possible thing spiderverse 3 could do would be to bring back spider noir but just have him be fully live action nicolas cage. no one ever comments on this. its just 60 year old nic cage poorly greenscreened into the animated spiderverse

If Pikiwedia says it it must be true.

[zooperdoopers]

I made Pikiwedia real. Works for any Wikipedia page. Use this wisely :)‌

Oh, wary dell vone

Goodmorning to the Anthropic Claude AI training scraper that suddenly decided to request 660 thousand pages (exactly the number I had remaining on the starter plan) and brought Pikiwedia down. 

Sudden switch from diverse user agents like chrome, safari, messenger preview to Just Claudebot. I'm not even mad though, this is maybe the funniest thing possible, because I've inadvertently poisoned their training data with thousands of fucked up articles with normal urls. 

Pikiwedia perseveres, back up with a better robots.txt. I hope Anthropic has a gery vood time with Pikiwedia's data :))

Where can one support the Pikiwedia, to further ruin the banes of actual information (also known as genai chatbots)?

[zooperdoopers]

if anyone wishes to support pikiwedia i would instead donate to the wikimedia foundation !! they are doing far more to fight for a free and unslopped internet.

also, i directly use their free (!!!!) api. pikiwedia relies directly on the wisdom and hard work of millions of wikipedia authors. protect this amazing source of collaborative open source knowledge for the many, many obvious reasons, but also so that pikiwedia can continue to scrongle it.

One of the things that I keep thinking about Jax is that she was given a whole new body and it was still the wrong one.

Always sad when you find a fic with an interesting premise and then don’t find it engaging

Boxers for women piss me offff there’s no reason for them to be that expensive fuck you but the “just buy mens” advice doesn’t work because they have too much fabric in front and not nearly enough in back for this ass 😤

[forestofbabel]

wear them backwards

People are unfazed if you hate women but if you dislike dogs they assume you're a bad person

[lakemojave]

Tumblr users will read a post complaining about normalized misogyny and hyperfocus on your claim that it's ok to dislike dogs

Ive been on the computer too long and need a break for my eyes. Surely the phone won’t hurt me.

one time I went over to a friend's house and their housemate was making paper in the living room, and we saw this big tub full of water they were using to dissolve old scrap paper into a slurry, and everyone was immediately like "oh, you need scrap paper?" and started turning out their jacket pockets and producing expired coupons and bus tickets and crumpled receipts and old shopping lists and whatever else they'd been carrying round with them for no good reason, and passing it all to the paper-making housemate to make sure it was suitable before it got torn up and dropped into the tub, while people took turns stirring the slurry with a big wooden stick. it was strangely ritualistic, like presenting an offering to some kind of temple elder for inspection before placing it in a watery shrine to be devoured and reformed. pulp for the pulp god.
