Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month Age verification for all.

It's so wild that we live in a world where the response to "teenagers don't like genocide" is politicians pushing "let's stop teenagers from using the internet" so hard that Discord has opted to shoot its own foot off

Post a banger not in English

(No one said that, given current events, I can't post with English subtitles)

I was gonna say... better than Prince??? I dunno. But I didn't see it this year and I only saw Prince because I was living with my mom in 2007.

More impactful than Prince? I'll say yes without even seeing it. Definitely yes. But "better" is subjective, and I reserve my opinion for a later time.

Her at fucking 11pm: I know you go to bed early but if you're awake...

Me, two hours later: WTF do you mean go to bed? I was putting together a bookcase.

And the audacity for her to accuse me of sleeping early and then herself be asleep when I texted her back... Wow.

I've never shied away from my age, but to have a friend (23) tell me (40) that she knows I "go to bed early" made my skin crawl.

Girl I go to bed between midnight and 2am every night. I just don't want to be on discord all the time. I don't live exclusively on discord or my phone.

I don't follow this sport at all (though I do yell GO BIRDS from time to time), but my mom, a white woman in her 70s, was INCREDIBLY HYPED for last night's halftime show and texted me all about it and how good it was and why.

She hasn't been this hyped for halftime since Prince.

Coworker: Trips power, which is shared with THE SERVER AND ME

Me: While on battery, quickly tell everyone to save and then go to the plan B I established last year, unplugging and tossing my extra long surge protector under my desk, across the room, and to the next circuit.

Her: So I can work now?

To be very clear, that lady in the NYT article is not making any money with her hundreds of AI slop books.

She makes money by *convincing people* she makes money that way and getting them to pay her to teach them how to do it.

It's an evolved MLM, and the NYT is helping market it.

I'm going to win.

This face would absolutely launch a thousand ships

It's a lovely and inclusive term. I only use sportspuck because there's no ball in hockey, but I absolutely call other sports sportsball. Enough that both terms show up as predictive text on my phone.

Ableist? Using Ai to steal the works of real artists and regurgitate slop isn't a win for the disabled community.

My disability is literally in my hands. I don't do much art anymore because of physical pain. And I'll use my disabled hands to punch anyone in the fucking face who defends Ai "art".

Maybe I'm doing sports fandom wrong, but I love calling it sportspuck. Been using that term for years.

Several Robotech TTRPG books. There's three: Robotech RPG Adventures, Ghost Ship; Robotech The Role Playing Game; The Robotech RPG Book Three, Zentraedi

Forgot about this when I got home last night, but here's my stash.

I have the center book.

For the record, I'm sure there's legislation on income-generating satellites, but I told the client that I'm not versed in this. However, a rental on the Moon should in theory be fully tax exempt unless the tax code changes.

Me: The US taxes worldwide income, so if you'd like to avoid reporting income from a rental I suggest buying property on the Moon, or perhaps renting an orbital satellite. You'd have grounds to argue to the IRS that it's not part of the world.

Client: Interesting...

The lady who checked my vision very kindly pointed out that although I got the sequence of letters wrong when she asked me to read the smallest line I could see out loud, I got them all correct and would not have my perfect vision downgraded.

Dyslexia: finally not a problem!

Two for two!

No medical concern, though she did say this cyst will remain on the white of my eye forever, and should it start to bother me more than hyper awareness I should try eye drops.

If there comes a day I need to carry eye drops? Well. We all know what quirk I'm pretending to have.

Earlier this week a trustworthy neurologist confirmed I do NOT need the bogus additional surgery an unscrupulous doctor (not my actual surgeon, a different one) claimed I need.

Today I'm hoping the ophthalmologist confirms the strange thing GROWING ON MY EYEBALL is nothing.

Two for two?

Are they soft or crispy or both?

They're my "hometown paper" and I banished WaPo from my life soon after it was sold off to Bezos and their journalistic integrity began to openly degrade. Mom used to get it delivered in print daily. She and my brother would read it while I got ready for school.

She won't go near it now.

This tracks, as you are one of the two.

Love classical art miscommunications with my mom.

Mom: I've been reading a book and every other page it feels like I'm looking up artwork for context.

Me: My brain instantly wants to know if you had to look up the Nike of Samothrace.

Mom: What's that?

[looks it up]

Mom: OH! THE WINGED VICTORY!

I didn't pick these for myself. Other people did. But I wholeheartedly agree with at least two.

Ha! I just found my own from... well. Let's just say it's been expired about ten years now. But I still had it!

YOROI-SHINDEN SAMURAI TROOPERS WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?

She's not wrong, I've seen some of the things you write. Not enough meow meow.

You are aware you're the ugly duckling sibling by default, yes? Like... How does anyone compete?

Having at last accomplished his lifelong mission to destroy the country, his body feels it's time to finally rest.
