A little of both?

I keep getting bananas thinking I'm going to eat them for fruit but lately I've been letting them get ripe and to make smoothies, oops.

Partial screenshot of an article from The Verge about Discord's age verification rollout. Text: However, some users may not have to go through either form of age verification. Discord is also rolling out an age inference model that analyzes metadata like the types of games a user plays, their activity on Discord, and behavioral signals like signs of working hours or the amount of time they spend on Discord. “If we have a high confidence that they are an adult, they will not have to go through the other age verification flows,” Badalich says. “A majority of people are not going to see a change in their experience.” She goes on to explain that the addition of age assurance will mainly impact adult content: “A majority of people on Discord are not necessarily looking at explicit or graphic content. When we say that, we’re really talking about things that are truly adult content [and] age inappropriate for a teen. So, the way that it will work is a majority of people are not going to see a change in their experience."

Okay, I've read the press release and the article from The Verge (possible paywall) and supposedly a lot of people won't have to go through this because of some age inference model they're launching to figure out if someone's an adult based on how they use Discord.

WTF Discord

Surely there's no way this can go wrong /s discord.com/press-releas...

One of my coworkers not in the US asked if we were okay here and it turned out they were just asking about the weather and not the politics. Oops.

It's just flurries where I am. If it's going to be 20 degrees outside I want actual snow.

I'm so over my area being on the geographic edge of interesting weather. I just want to know if we're actually getting snowed in or not because I have plans this weekend, damnit.

Hopefully a few of these will come out in the coming years.

I love hummus. I love falafel. So why is this falafel hummus so mid?

The problem with fully remote work is snow days are fake unless the power is out everywhere.

English muffin and bun fans rejoice. Somehow this is ITP.

Whose idea was it to have Ice Cream for Breakfast Day in February????

Overdrive removed the only useful wishlist feature of letting me filter by what's available now and just. Why.

I mostly stopped looking at that subreddit over the past few years because it felt so dead. Huh. Guess this explains why.

YouTube video by Diarmuid Early Live first look at Pokemon Excel by Harry Gross

Most of my Youtube is Pokemon with other random things but every now and then some video mashes up interests into even weirder niche hobbies... like Pokemon Excel. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WS2Q...

I just realized this upcoming weekend is a three-day weekend.

I finally got today's Wordle in one. Guess I have to change my starter word again.

Literally talked about this in therapy yesterday

Kind of tempted to take Wednesday off because why do I have four straight hours of meetings on my birthday, this is cruel and unusual

(In fairness, one of them is ripe for folding laundry)

How do they keep track?

I don't mind working today since I'm taking the rest of the week off but my brain is very much not here.

No fried rice yet, but I threw some in quesadillas this morning to freeze.

My parents don't really eat leftovers but still make a ton of food for Christmas dinner for some reason, so now my post-holiday meal prep plan includes using some of the turkey and ham that I'll get tired of eating in a few days.

This is exactly why I'm okay with working Monday and Tuesday of these holiday weeks.

Nope!
