AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

That is horrific

Remember when you just needed to count teeth to detect AI images? Those were good times.

Climate change. On our current course, the best case scenario is famine, war, and a really shitty world for billions of people. The worst case scenario is self-perpetuating cycles that wipe out our civilization and maybe humanity.

It’d be cool if those didn’t happen.

public education that is not indoctrination

What jurisdiction are you in?

It’s like having kings or elves in a fantasy story. Readers know what to expect, so the writer doesn’t need to establish that they’re in charge, or that they’re noble, etc. They’re archetypes that most consumers are familiar with.

And writers stick to what they know. If they’ve been exposed to these mythologies, then they’ll use them. If they’re exposed to other mythologies, they’ll use those.

For a brief shining moment it seemed like the first Canadian housing subreddit might actually have an effect. And then it imploded. So we had to wait another few years for politicians to catch up and do almost nothing.

I’m glad you got out of there.

Most of the jobs I’ve gotten were through friends I made at uni. Thanks to my education, I’m capable and skilled, but the friend network I made at school has gotten me in for interviews.

For the entire campaign Grog should be followed by some snot nose kid and a wizard who keep trying to steal the stone.

Layer your clothing.

An undershirt + a shirt + sweater + jacket + a shell is a really warm combination. On your legs, long johns + pajama pants + regular pants is great.

As the seasons change, you can omit items to get just the right temperature.

According to my sister-in-law’s then boyfriend (who was a biologist or an insect guy or something), spiders and insects can have lung-line organs called book lungs. So they have options. Creepy buggy insecty options.

If Trudeau wanted to read, he’d be very upset.

the strategy of “well they hate me, but I think they’ll hate the other guys more” is such an insult to Canadians

That’s the strategy Canadian politicians bank on. I don’t think Harper was popular when he was elected - he just wasn’t a Liberal. Same for Chretien - he wasn’t a Tory.

Words would be so much easier to understand.

The about page is a roller coaster ride:

Weawow is not a team. It’s a solo project. Since I founded Weawow in 2016, I have been doing almost all the tasks by myself,

…

I am 50 years old and have recently noticed a decline in my physical strength, including a sudden decline in my eyesight. Any donations towards hiring a staff member would be a great help to the Weawow project.

I will report on any progress here. That was a bit of a pessimistic story, but I’m doing very well and there are no problems with the Weawow project. So please don’t worry.

My dream is for the Weawow project to continue for another 200 years, until we reach Type 1 on the Kardashev scale. Because at the current level of human civilization, it is not possible to make 100% accurate weather forecasts, I believe that it is necessary to compare and consider many data sources.

But in 200 years there will be no more weather FORECASTS services, but 100% accurate weather PLANNING services.

I hope this guy gets his wishes.

Sometimes I open the app just to see what the froggy is up to.

FROGGY IS NECESSARY

Hard agree. Any statements about working conditions a company makes needs third party verification. Last time I checked, the Fair Trade peeps were the most reputable verifiers.

I’m not sure how many napalm bombs the US military has, but I’m pretty sure that they don’t have tons of flamethrowers.

/unjerk so googling around slows that the US military stopped using them in the 1970s. TIL.

/rejerk

Say that three times fast and a SIG sales rep appears behind you.

A thirty-something woman was trick or treating at my town’s trunk or treat. She’d put effort into her costume. 🤷‍♂️

They could do a lot of things.

The Windows Phone, BlackBerry, Pebble, and Samsung Watch have shown that attracting developers to build high quality apps for an OS is hard.

A compatibility layer would make a lot of sense, but at that point, why bother with the new OS?
