WELL DESERVED

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

Gul Dukat, a Cardassian (an alien with large ridges on his forehead and neck) holds up a baseball while looking judgemental

Weyoun, an alien who's basically a space elf, pulls such an evil twink/vizier expression, it's a real "yes m'lord I'll fetch the poison" then he puts in both glasses kinda mood

BOTH of DS9's most powerful and terrifying antagonists have bitchy theatre kid energy and I don't know why but it works incredibly well

Star trek had a lot of hard lines over the years, but this remains the fucking hardest

An assortment of dwarf hamsters use an early 2000s gateway desktop to pirate music using LimeWire. The hamsters are interacting with nostalgic y2k clutter across the desk, such as eating Bugles, chewing on CDs, playing with a tamagotchi that says “kill me”, and eating pop tarts.

Did you use limewire and how bad did it fuck up your computer?
