The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel is titled “things that are spooky”. We see a book of hexes, a skull, candles, a pentagram in blood, and vampire teeth. Pointing off panel we see a speech bubble that says “I love it”.
The second panel is titled “things that are cute”. We see a strawberry cake, a boba drink, a bunny plushie, and a cute notebook and pen. Again, we see a speech bubble pointing off panel that says “I love it”.
The third panel is titled “things that are spooky AND cute”. We see a row of cute decorative ghosts.
The fourth panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, completely freaking out at this combination.

It is but I am wondering if this is just bad translation. I notice when I read papers for work some of the Chinese or Chinese lead papers have solid science but questionable writing (and yet are somehow not much harder to read than papers written in English)

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Thank you for this thread. I am familiar with the science but not the politics and treaties behind the situation and knowing that helps contextualize what's likely going on.

Because I know how much you guys love carpeted toilet accessories. Photo from my collection, 1972.

Color photo of a medium haired dilute tortie cat that seems to have Persian blood because it’s face is quite flat. It is looking up at the camera with its permanently, surprised expression. It’s sitting on top of the pink carpeted lid of a cream colored toilet. The tank of the toilet has a matching pink carpeted cover.

Molly Conger had a very interesting episode of Weird Little Guys and the history of right wing nutjobs running people over in their cars. It is pure projection. They would run people over if they could and in some instances they have.

Maybe if they are cooking with really expensive ingredients (like stir fry with premium meat) and eating out in very cheap places like McDonald's or Subway? But I feel like that can't possibly account for more than one or two days a week.

Le Chomp. Photo from my collection, no date/info.

Photo of a handsome young man wearing a striped t-shirt and light trousers, standing in front of an old car - maybe 1940s but I really don't know cars. The man is looking down at a shorthaired tabby kitten that he holds gently in his hands, that seems to be licking his finger.

Mine was actually not very accurate at all which was kind of a relief. It was thrown off by the fact I mostly use it to purchase gifts, so it thinks I have children (because of all the presents I bought for relatives) and that I am a huge Cowboys fan (my dad is, I have never watched a game)

And obviously that is just a show but I am sure there are people who work 9 to 5 office jobs dreaming about running a restaurant or a vineyard right now who would switch over the nanosecond they were financially able.

People talk about this in Star Trek assuming everyone who isn't in Starfleet is a layabout and like ... Even in the show that does not appear to be true? Ben Sisko's dad runs a Creole restaurant and Picard's family run a vineyard just for the love of the game.

Not probably. The suicide rate dropped especially for women. Also I strongly suspect a lot fewer men got poisoned which I think is what you are alluding to.

My local burger place (that I love) uses AI to make flyers of their new menu items and the AI always looks so weird and off putting and has never once made me want to try the new thing. If I didn't already know their food was good that would probably discourage me from trying them at all.

🚨 ENDORSEMENT ALERT 🚨 Chancleta has been endorsed by a family of three random raccoons who saw him from outside. One of them even stood on our patio chair on two legs, like a person. This is incredible news for Sandal's campaign to represent whatever it is he is running for.

A mock political endorsement graphic on a blue gradient background. At the top left is a photo of three raccoons beside the words “A FAMILY OF THREE RANDOM RACCOONS.” Below, red text reads “PROUDLY ENDORSES,” followed by “CHANCLETA” in large white letters. At the bottom right is a large photo of Chancleta, an orange-and-white cat looking directly at the camera.

100%. She sexually harassed this man, possibly at work, trying to have these wildly inappropriate intimate conversations without his permission and wouldn't let him exit the conversation.

last i checked unwanted invasive questions about sexual topics is textbook sexual harassment and in the UK is explicitly unlawful under the equality act 2010 but she's rich so it's not illegal when she does it JKR is openly admitting to having committed a sex crime in this post

What is sexual harassment?
Sexual harassment occurs when a person engages in unwanted conduct of a
sexual nature that has the purpose or effect of:
violating
someone’s
dignity
or
creating an intimidating, hostile,
degrading, humiliating or
offensive environment for them.
Sexual harassment is unlawful under the Equality Act 2010.
Unwanted conduct of a sexual nature
• Includes a wide range of behaviour, such as: - sexual comments or jokes - displaying sexually graphic pictures, posters or photos - suggestive looks, staring or leering - propositions and sexual advances - making promises in return for sexual favours - sexual gestures - intrusive questions about a person’s private or sex life, and discussing your own sex life - sexual posts or contact on social media - spreading sexual rumours about a person - sending sexually explicit emails or text messages - unwelcome touching, hugging, massaging or kissing - criminal behaviour, including sexual assault, stalking, indecent exposure and
offensive communications.
• An individual can experience unwanted conduct from someone of the same or different sex.
• The recipient of the behaviour decides whether or not it is unwanted.
• Unwanted conduct can be one-off. It does not need to be repeated to constitute sexual
harassment.
• Unwanted conduct does not need to be directed at a person. It can be witnessed or overheard.
• It does not matter whether the conduct is acceptable to others or is common in the person’s
work environment

Joanne, never once in my life have I looked at a man of any size and wondered that. Fat, thin, attractive, unattractive, scary ... Never once have I looked at a man and immediately wondered about his penis.

Joanne, fucking of course he didn't want to talk about it! Even if he was also a transphobe, who wants to just talk about this shit in a normal everyday conversation especially with an obvious obsessive? Poor bloke was probably blinking at anyone else around in Morse code for help.
