Babysitting a toddler is a lot like being the narration in a point-and-click adventure game. Watching him knock on the doors of empty rooms and saying "hmm. I don't think anyone's in there". Watching him attempt to use [spoon] on [cat] and saying "I don't think those things go together". Watching him throw a cup of water onto the floor and just commenting "the floor is wet now" when he looks up at me to see if I approve.

I babysit my lil cousin sometimes and he loves his construction toys. The thing is though, I'm studying civil engineering and construction. I actually know quite a bit about how those machines work and what they're used for.

My aunt thinks it's hilarious to listen to me play with him. "Yeah, this is a cement mixer. Cement is just one component of the building material we call concrete. The other components are water and aggregate. Aggregate is usually sand or gravel, but recently materials scientists have been substituting-- Oh, honey, don't drive it over the dog, she doesn't like that. Hm? This one is a bulldozer, it's used for grading. Yes, they probably are friends now that I think about it."

Nothing more painful than when a kind stranger tells you about some random AI feature in a way that is clearly meant to be helpful and you have to choose between nodding along in despair or turning wokezilla 3000 on them

I just remembered that this was a thing that was HILARIOUS in 2006 and apparently that was ten years ago now.

Old people: join with me in remembering how funny we found this on LiveJournal.

Young people: look at this lolrus, it’s so happy, it has a bucket.

And then they stealed away the bucket and we realised we had fucked up a perfectly good elephant seal and given it anxiety.

[pipistrellus]

listen this vintage meme is high quality and i will hear nothing said against it

[rhube]

20 years. I am not happy about this.

[demonicsymphony]

I’m delighted at the bucket reappearing but dismayed at the passage of time

They executed a man in the street broad daylight a direct violation of human rights He was everything you're supposed to be: american born white male law abiding a career saving those who protect our country The "ideal citizen." But he was shot Point blank 10 times 10 times in the back 10 times in the back when he was already down 10 times in the back when he was already dead on the ground If they can murder him slander his name drag him through the mud Then what is the point. Who are they fighting for? For the 'safety security and well-being of our nation' What nation? It sure as hell isn't mine

Each Benoit Blanc film takes place in a different season and classic murder mystery setting.

Knives Out: Autumn in a country house

Glass Onion: Summer on a private island

Wake up Dead Man: Spring in a small town

So the next film in the cycle needs to be set in winter on a mode of transportation.

the floating head of wisdom

[toe-fingerman]

Please don't fall victim to internet misinformation. There is no floating head. It's a regular horse, it's neck is just hidden due to the position of the camera. I made an image to help you understand the what's actually going on.

Thank you for the clarification

in 2026, remember how GOOD writing feels. remember how satsfying it is to get your characters to the point you have been dying to get to, where they will experience the love, fear, relief or whatever the feeling you want to bring to life may be. let this year be the year of writing, prgress and of satisfactory endings.

does anyone else get excited about a new writing software you're trying out because it's gonna fix your procrastination and avoidance, obviously, and then you set it up all nice, your perfect workspace probably, you're a new person that will write everyday, and then 9 months pass and you can't even remember the name or if it was a browser thing or an application neatly tucked into your laptop somewhere unseen and now you've got some writing just existing somewhere you can't remember how to get to (and like you never write anymore so every bit is nice to save ya know) or is that just a unique experience that i've lived through like 3 times

confidently thought I'd figured out that it was wavemaker (because I have the app on my phone), got frustrated by a version update, tried to download/upload to new version, appeared there was no work, sad

saw an anti-Ice post from Ellipsus (nice) and realized I follow them because it's their program I was thinking of lmao and LOW AND BEHOLD I successfully logged onto their site and have some lil stories started there, HUZZAH

i should be like, working, because i am in my office but alas, this was the focus that my dopamine chased instead so

[sentientsky]

repeating this to myself forever and ever

"don't assign human morality to non human things" is so true except when it comes to printers. they know what they are, they understand dilemmas and ethics and morality. they choose to be how they are, they choose to be evil, at their very core they are rotten
