WhatsApp is owned by Meta, try playing up the anti-American angle?

Mocha the all hearing…some kinda Rex I imagine. What breed is Mocha, OP, a Cornish Rex?

Looks like a nice warm spot for a birthday bask.

I love how Brian Brushwood described it. It was either an inside job from someone at the station, or a very impressive feat of radio hacking, and they had to plan out the costume and the corrugated sheet on a pivot behind him to simulate the “CG” backgrounds, “But it’s as if zero thought went into what he was actually going to say.” He hums the Clutch Cargo theme tune, makes fun of Max Headroom as spokesman of New Coke by holding up a Pepsi can, and throws a little bit of shade at WGN and Chuck Swirsky.

The halcyon days of the 1980’s when a broadcast intrusion like this was basically a harmless juvenile prank.

That’s my favorite cat joke.

“Himalayan? Nah, him a sittin, but give him a minute…NOW Himalayan.”

I’m not meaning dump 20,000 children alone in the left half of Wyoming, I mean, keep them with their parents, hire teachers, teach them math and science and…basically a history that replaces a lot of “and they believed their gods said” with “the ruling class decided they wanted to”. What happens to children when they are raised in a functioning, supportive, nurturing society that does not contain religion or superstition?

Yeah, the people of the United States have been so stupid for so long that Europe and Canada have spent the last month scrambling to figure out how to do without all the things they rely on us for, to include computer operating systems, CPU architecture, to cloud computing and payment processing systems.

Take ten or twenty thousand children, take over a fairly large portion of a midwestern state, build a large and complete environment for them to live in including towns, museums, theme parks etc. and raise them as normal Americans but absolutely 100% avoid introducing them to the concept of religion until they’re 25.

Pilot G-2, Obviously. #5.

For some reason the megacorps have got LLMs on the brain, and they’re the worst “AI” I’ve seen. There are other types of AI that are actually impressive, but the “writes a thing that looks like it might be the answer” machine is way less useful than they think it is.

Are they delicious?

He’s a chinballoid. He has a scroatee.

Half of what I remember from MIIB is that scene in the blooper reel.

Downvotes, but no answers.

What good has ever come from people standing in a street waving a cardboard sign?

What would “a protest” accomplish? What have they accomplished in my lifetime?

That’s my Izzy if I let her have any cheese.

My high school girlfriend did a very light version of this. Very early on, we were in a convenience store parking lot getting gas or something, I climb into the car and she says, “Look, when I say ‘maybe,’ I mean ‘yes,’ okay?” It wasn’t a continuation of any conversation we were having, I guess she was doing that chick thing where she has most of the conversation in her head and only shares the end of it with you.

Dozens upon dozens of times, we’d have this conversation: “Wanna do it?” “Maybe.” “…and maybe means yes.” I never neglected to remind her she’d said that.

Later on, I had another girlfriend who liked to be chased. Literally. Tag was foreplay to her. We’d get through the front door of the house and she’d go tearing off into the bedroom and jump fully clothed under the covers, often giggling. This would often start with her pulling herself out of my arms. I talked to her that chasing her through the house to a hiding place, taking the blanket off of her, undressing her, and fucking her felt a little bit non-consentual. She just…liked to be chased. So she agreed to say something like “Come get me!” before taking off. Yes, Ma’am!"

Vine only lasted like 6 seconds.

There’s a couple youtubers that mirror their content on PeerTube. The Giddy Stitcher for example uploads to Makertube.net

both SEA and Astrum for space stuff. If you like one you’ll like the other.

Naw, not the tar, the tahre, the black rubber thang 'roun uh wheeyul, s’fulla ahr? It jus plum blew ayout. Ah tell ya i’us sygogglin downna road 'are for a minnit, but ah gotter stopped. y’all gonna seyun sumbuddy ta fix’t?"

A major component of a tarheel accent is the “eye” sound comes out as “ah.” Ah’m goin tuthuh stower to bah sum ahce creem. “Tire” beceomes “Tahre”, which is not identical to how we pronounce “tar.”

I’m from a particular area where it is sometimes useful to speak like a native, and sometimes it’s useful to speak like not a native. Naturally my accent isn’t very thick but I can put more on or take it off, even mid-sentence. Which is useful mostly for mocking people.
