mostly not kidding btw (though i don’t imagine most in their late 20s are getting hearing tests)
a hearing test.

text on left side says “Hearing Level in Decibels (dB) ANSI 1969”

text too says “Frequency in Hertz (Hz)”

i’m not gonna list every number on the sheet for clarity and conciseness, but the “decent hearing” line is at about 25 decibels for all frequencies. my samples are almost all at 0 decibels (which is good), with the exception of the 250Hz sample, which is at about 5 decibels. this is the most detail i think i have ever put into an alt text! i hope it’s helpful :)

why do we all pronounce blastoise “blas-toyz” when clearly it is a hybridization of “blast” and “tortoise” i know, i know, “blas-tiss” just kind of sounds like shit. but a portmanteau whose origin is lost is hardly a portmanteau at all…it’s about the principle! blastiss

To be clear, we do not believe the solution to these issues is to avoid using LLMs, especially given the undeniable benefits they offer in many contexts. Rather, our message is that people simply need to become smarter or more strategic users of LLMs - which starts by understanding the domains wherein LLMs are beneficial versus harmful to their goals.

POLITICO reached out to Danedri Herbert, a spokesperson for the attorney general who also serves as the Kansas GOP Chair, and shared with her excerpts of the chat involving Hendrix. In response, Herbert said "we are aware of the issues raised in your article" and that Hendrix is "no longer employed" in Kobach's office.image of an off-putting visibly republican man in a suit smiling while walking outside, with dark souls “YOU DIED” style text on top saying “RACIST FIRED”

shocking absolutely no one, the rot runs deep. unfortunately, these guys are already pulling out the cancel culture playbook, so they’ll all be invited to dinner at mar a lago by next weekend
"I am so sorry to those offended by the insensitive and inexcusable language found within the more than 28,000 messages of a private group chat that I created during my camp
ign to lead the Young Republicans," he said. 
"While I take complete responsibility, I have had no way of verifying their accuracy and am deeply concerned that the message logs in question may have been deceptively doctored."Walker, who now leads the New York State Young Republican touched on a similar
theme, saying that he believes portions of the chat "may have been altered, taken out of context, or otherwise manipulated" and that the "private exchanges were obtained and released in a way clearly intended to inflict harm.
He also apologized.

i was stunned to find out that my girlfriend had never heard of the wenis before today (perhaps it was not a popular term in the south), and then i was even more stunned to find out that it has its own wikipedia page
wikipedia screenshot:

^ Etymology
Wenis likely appeared as a slang term in the 1990s.
It has seen proliferation as a schoolyard meme, and alongside the term wagina, has been an internet colloquialism since the early 2000s. 14] It likely developed as humorous portmanteau of the words penis and wiener. The word was further popularized by media such as The Hangover film franchise.

can anyone explain the decline in usage of the word “jizz” in recent years? was it the political turmoil? the advent of the tiktok age? did AI make us less funny? please help me this is a genuine question and not a joke
