I had to contact Cursor's customer support because their AI support bot insisted that I could remove myself from my old job's team account in the UI. Once a human got involved it turned out that the AI had indeed hallucinated this feature.

A screenshot of a dropdown of styles on Depop that contains some styles you would recognise, but also something called Whimsygoth.

Turned 37 recently and my wife is doing a very delayed clear out of some of our older unworn clothes. Nothing has ever made me feel older some of the styles on Depop. WTF is Whimsygoth?

I haven't! But I'm intrigued. I closed the wiki page before I learned too much about the plot.

The same people then kick off when the biggest books, film, and TV shows in the UK are cultural exports from another country.

I'm making a joke conspiracy theory website for a thing and honestly I can see why so many idiots end up doing this grift. The copy is so easy to write when you're making fun of it.

I've never played a roguelike/lite where the randomness impedes the narrative but I feel like they definitely could've allowed for some progression to help with that, like Hades' keepsakes.

Same! After a few runs I was so proud to get to room 45 and then I dropped off very quickly after getting so many bad runs and got nowhere near.

I haven't played it in months but might have to give it another go soon. Maybe even completely restart it.

If this intends to make it legally compulsory for every adult in Derry to carry something called a "Brit Card", then I'm willing to offer some high-paid consultancy on why this plan might be flawed.

We can bring back a classic 90s slaggin with: "You dropped your Brit Card!"

I was straight on this! Your work is always superb so I'm very excited to be able to learn how to add whimsey to my projects.

At GOV.UK we always had a joke that it should be 1 form with an input for your national insurance number and a submit button that read "Sort everything out".

I suppose this is still 1 form.

Having just went through the process at a few places it seemed that most said use all the AI you want, or don't use any at all.

London has been a melting pot since about 1800. What made London great is it is an international city. The mix of people from everywhere means this city let's you experience the world's culture without leaving TFL's reach.

Do these people think Londoners should only eat pies and drink tea?

The view that London is for the White English is fucking insane. Londoners drink in Irish pubs, the most popular foods are Turkish + Indian, the UK's biggest music exports are Garage and Jungle. The most popular tourist hotspots include Chinatown and Brick Lane.
