@NoLore CBC As It Happens had an entire interview on this evening's show with one of the passengers who assisted in getting the pilot subdued. Sounded like it was pretty intense.
@haeretici@ID_AA_Carmack In the olden days, Carmack used to show up randomly to post stuff like this on Blue's News dot com every once in a while, and it was always fucking magical. He's one of the real ones
@EastEndJoe@Mister_Bluesky2@witt_manning No. Her dress didn't magically get two white sleeves; her dress has one white sleeve, and the other is black. You can even see it in the thumbnail at the bottom of your screenshot
@illa_da_hun@Dolly__gale@erikmbaker I can see it -- a light Mr. Krabs is a good call! I probably ended up somewhere near John Cleese as Blind Pew, and honestly that's probably a bit much? But that's because most of what I know about pirating comes from Yellowbeard, so one learns to make do
@Dolly__gale@erikmbaker If you read Moby Dick using whatever your version of a really thick pirate accent is, it becomes 100% understandable and flows beautifully.
@RealDianeYap Thank you for saying so. I also feel like people should just request things they want in these types of situations when it's not offered, but I personally could never get up to go to the kitchen without asking "does anyone need anything while I'm up?" Fucking boorish behaviour โ
@RealDianeYap If they don't pick up on it, just serve yourself; no foul because at least you offered - a simple kindness that costs you nothing, and may be welcome to someone feeling shy about taking seconds or whatever.. a totally demented system of oddly passive behavior until it's not
@RealDianeYap I was raised where, if I wanted something, the polite thing to do was to ask if anyone else wanted that thing *first*. "Would anyone like some lemonade?" If yes, serve them, then you. Other polite people are supposed to pick up on this and offer it to you if they don't want any.
@Sarahhuniverse Metal mostly because not everything was plastic back then, and the plastic didn't like to be frozen. Wait until you refill it with water, your wet hand sticks to it, and everything sloshes out while you try to tear yourself away and get it back into the freezer. Not good vintage
A bit like social media in general. People will complain about how shitty it makes them feel - and we've got studies and whistleblowers to back that up - but if you suggest they would be better off closing their accounts, they immediately jump to how essential it is for business
It's not going to be sustainable for businesses for long. People are anti-AI as social signaling, maybe personal use, but when buying, price still wins.
We have to pay for photographers, locations and models, illustration and graphic design. Our competition now often does not. That does not give our customers pause, they just care about price.
This is pretty much how it's going to go, people will be performativly anti-AI while quietly assisting in its takeover, claiming they are helpless to do otherwise due to price sensitivity.
@Chadson Too many people have lost friends/colleagues/acquaintances/loved ones to this and don't find very much funny about it, no matter how unserious you were being. And no one wants to go to work to find themselves in a 'we always thought Chadson was just being silly' situation.
