My dog really is the sweetest. He's so full of energy and is constantly full of play and he comes up to me carrying a toy and is like HELLO DO YOU HAVE TIME FOR A DOG? I LOVE YOU!

I got some filament on sale but it was really only on sale for like 10%, which is a sale it goes on fairly regularly, and it was filament that I, uh, didn't need, but wanted to add rainbow variety to whistles.

It’s funny that when Sam Altman says this, he does not mean that HE should accept the risks.

Okay look I will press the red button but ONLY if I can choose who the money gets taken from in order.

Oh I know they’re not LEGITIMATE. They’re just not easily traceable.

If two seasoned business professionals who are not hurting for cash choose this, they think they can make it work as under the table money and they're getting something out of it. But when people suggest this and put the word "students" in front of it, it's exploitative.

And I haven't even gotten into the fact that giving someone free food in the US restaurant either requires the server to serve them for free or for the person you hired to pay the server for their labor.

Young students have enough people taking advantage of them. WE DO NOT NEED TO ADD MORE.

If you have seasoned professionals engaging in labor trades that is a business choice and they're probably getting tax benefits from it. If you are saying "find a young student and have them do it in exchange for food" you are suggesting that a business find someone sufficiently vulnerable.

I do not think you should pay people solely in company scrip that can be exchanged for goods at the company store, no.

1100

Yes, but in response to what I said it's particularly infuriating. Because you're basically devaluing labor.

Students deserve to get money for their labor. This is not a difficult proposition.

21451

I really need to reiterate the PAY THEM part of this???? Apparently?

11370

No. That is not paying people.

1100

I really think you should pay people for their labor.

2131

Also, I just want to take a moment to sneer at people who say that a restaurant could get cheap designers to do their menu because if you're going to hire someone, FUCKING PAY THEM WELL and just do it yourself if you won't

These images were individually printed on pieces of paper that were slid into a plastic binder, so that definitely wasn't it.

There was a spicy tuna roll that was just...chopped up tuna with slivers of jalapeño on the side. COME ON.

If your menu is slop, I'm gonna assume from here on out that your food is, too.

Should have walked out the moment I saw the AI images on the menu but we were hungry and had already waited 15 minutes. But lesson learned.

Went to a new-to-me sushi restaurant the other day. Menu had a bunch of very obviously generated images (not of the food, just for decoration). Sushi was terrible. Everything was terrible. They pre-make little trays of wasabi and ginger and the wasabi was dry and the ginger was dry. Just bad.

You mean the massive bribery?

I mean, I think they don't really know about the United Fruit company at all, if that's the quote they're delivering.

I really do not think that you belong in government in this moment if you lack the historical understanding of what we have wrought, as it now boomerangs back on us.

"We don't want to turn into a banana republic, so we won't try to rein in corporations" is the kind of thing you say if you don't know what makes a banana republic a banana republic, and instead want to be a banana republic where the bananas are data centers.

Just a reminder, that settlement never became final.

Look as someone who has to go through 19,735 options with my husband before making any choices, I get this.

oooh I love that tile! He's doing a great job.

This was, in case you were wondering, also incredibly racist. Because of course it was.

It's an early Kellogg thing, which means that it was invented as part of the "eat bland foods and you won't masturbate" diet.

I think the polls are absolute bullshit because I have no idea what anyone in this country will do in the next 12 hours much less in November. But I also am gonna run at these midterms screaming with 100% conviction that we can win. Not that we will. But we can! But there's a trick to that.

If you are outraged about this (and you should be, and I bet you are if you're reading this) and you want to do something about it: crank up that VPN and search for "ICE watch" or related activities + wherever you live. Get your Signal login going. Sign up for everything.

But I'm seeing a lot of people say "oh so Los Angeles is a small price to pay?" and they've got the grossness wrong
