@Brocklesnitch Pushing Daisies is my comfort show, Wonderfalls was also great

@OgLakyn The fashion is incredible and the men are stunning 🔥

@emilykmay It hasn't felt any different for me, about the same as when I was 33. Although I did have my first 'slept weird and woke up in agony', but was an easy fix to buy an ergonomic pillow😂 Which I felt no shame at all in buying because I'm 35 & I guess idgaf 🤷🏾‍♀️ (and it's super comfy)

@CatholicCubsFan David Attenborough is definitely going to live forever, but if not he's a contender for sure

@CoraCHarrington (Should not be controversial, just facts)

[Nicole C @NicoleGC791]

@JessPected Not even remotely close to being equivalent! It's mind-boggling that people have those thoughts and type them out (with no self-reflection) and think it's some kind of gotcha when it absolutely isn't.

@relientkenny People should have known better after Lost, honestly 😂😭

[Nicole C @NicoleGC791]

@Kingneptune__ @relientkenny Honestly best gif for this 😂😭

Shouting into the void, but what do you do when your government doesn't represent or follow through on the what they were voted in for? Votes and petitions that go nowhere when those in power don't actually represent what the majority are calling for? How do you affect change??

@AliceBunnyland2 Emperor's new shoes, if I've ever seen them.

[Nicole C @NicoleGC791]

@moniza_hossain They invented the two minutes of hate entirely ironically, but for women and whatever race we hate this week (as long as it's 'them' and not 'us', I guess)

[Nicole C @NicoleGC791]

@CoraCHarrington I strongly suspect it's a feature and not a bug for those currently in power (and adjacent to power) and honestly always has been. Also, hard to look back on things historically if the only info is 'favourable' for power. The most light pollution, but possibly the darkest age.

[Nicole C @NicoleGC791]

@SketchesbyBoze You don't understand, people should never have to be uncomfortable, ever, and all these books cause division, guilt and sadness (or even worse, hope that things can change!). Better to get rid of them. Unrelated, which text(s) will you be memorising for our new oral traditions?

[Nicole C @NicoleGC791]

@OgLakyn So sorry for your loss, losing good/reliable shoes is frustrating and sad. Thankfully, I believe you might know someone who specialises is adding or replacing clothes and accessories (doesn't make it less annoying). And I love the you always tout repairs before replacing.

[Nicole C @NicoleGC791]

@haiyunee I bought a 'hall tree' I use in my room specifically for this and for planning my outfits a few days on advance so I don't have to think about it when I'm rushing around in the morning.

It's pretty simple.

AI has destroyed the internet and all trust in the people and contents of it. You can no longer trust anything that has been submitted to you on it nor that you find on your own. There is a pre-nuclear steel cutoff point at which the age of a post has become an element in its trustworthiness. That destruction has taken out the work of creating those things and removed humans from the process because greed told business owners they could do it cheaper this way but it just made everything way worse.

And because it kind of sucks but does a passable job if you squint, it's replaced a tonne of juniors while still requiring seniors to oversee it, thus interrupting the flow of juniors who could become seniors and choking off the natural lifecycle of human progression required to have continued service. When the seniors retire we will not have new ones to replace them and their capabilities will be lost forever.

The ability to make kinda shitty versions of stuff and carry on conversations has automated theft, fraud, harassment, and political manipulation on a scale previously unimaginable. Computers that were once deterministic will now lie to you with the confidence of a con-man. The greed and manipulative accounting of shifting revenue around has destroyed consumer computer markets and people can no longer afford what they need to work, or play, once again driving people back into the arms of business owners who can't wait to rent it to you for a subscription. And because investor eyes light up at the new Flavor Of The Month (like they did with blockchain before it) it's being jammed in everywhere it doesn't belong and now every product you liked is worse.

Search doesn't even work anymore and attempting to use any of the AI chatbots for this removes the element of context from your ability to determine trustworthiness of a source, because there isn't one. It's a remix of a remix of a remix, reconstituted from parts, and the average it makes from the slop could be true or it could be full of shit, which is way worse than having to evaluate multiple real human points of view to construct your own. We are taking the averages of averages away from the contexts within which the data points were made in the first place then wondering why everything is slightly wrong now.

And to achieve all this, unaccountable tech billionaires have stolen generations of work from creatives, technicals, and anyone else with a "who will stop us" attitude, making it clear to everyone that the rule of law is over because there's so much profit available it's in their best interests to just ignore it. They know this now, and they will keep doing it forever. We have rewarded the very worst behavior from the very worst people and what little power the individuals had has been transferred back to more corporations.

AI is a race to make everything worse for everyone while a handful get rich, and if you have to stick your fingers in your ears to pretend you just 'dont get why people dont like it' I have more respect for the people doing that evil on purpose than I do for you.

@moniza_hossain Also congratulations!!

[Nicole C @NicoleGC791]

@moniza_hossain It's so incredible that you've created all these books for their children to read as they grow up, so thoughtful and forward thinking for their future literacy. Not everyone gets that kind of fulfilment in life 😁

@OgLakyn Limoncello spritz is where it's at, but I'm never giving up Espresso martinis (or aperol spritz) and not for a vodka cranberry!
