You think that's supposed to be mud? Trump is disgusting.

This is the Wikipedia version of the old Encarta Mindmaze game. And would kick ass.

Gotta say this isn't looking like it's aging well...

it does not necessarily mean this though, because the dominant way people end up on Wikipedia is through Google, and Google has loaded the top of all of its search results with AI-mediated info taken from Wikipedia. This does not mean consumers prefer it this way, the choice has been made for them

When did everyone decide that things in frying pans need a weight on them? Deeply weird.

Not in English, it isn't.

That thing has absolutely no business doing 20mph on a sidewalk.

Weird. If Moscow had 'no information' about the ship, how can anything to do with it be a provocation for them? ๐Ÿ™„

This makes a depressing amount of sense. God damn.

The cover of Counting Crows' album 'recovering the satellites'. The cover shows a non-illuminated neon star against a grungy, dim, green background. The band name is scrawled on in red. It all absolutely sucks.

it really was stunning how quickly so many managers and other people with power snapped over from "cautiously exploring AI" to "you must use AI to walk, shit, and breathe or you're fired"

That looks extremely ideal.

What an absolutely and completely disgusting statement

Yes thank you I am aware I was asking at what point they issued a statement to the effect of the ops post.

The way the op phrased it made it seem like there had been a statement today wrt the embarrassment in Alaska yesterday. I had hoped that the Nordic & Baltic States had issued a statement rather stronger than the one issued by UK, France, etc. But go off, if you want to be angry I won't stop you.

There are an awful lot of seriously weird takes on Bad Things Happening in the UK on here at the moment. Please do take time to ask a Brit before sharing! I volunteer myself as tribute here.
