Mine downsized a bit too but that didn’t stop RTO either.

BonziBuddy! I had completely erased that from my brain. Whoa!

Idk…some animals are just like that. I have two dogs. One is unquestionably a dog. One might be an animorph or a human trapped in a dogs body. He’s so much smarter. I don’t teach him things but he figures it out in his own. Ex: opening doors, making trades, knowing individual names of people/animals, etc. I didn’t teach him any of that.

And when I adopted the “dog” dog he would look at what the “human” dog was doing and copy it to get treats.

It wouldn’t surprise me if a cat wanted attention so it acted like someone else. Sometimes, I suspect animals are a lot smarter and more aware than humans give them credit for.

I’m not saying this has never happened but I think this is a sensationalized article meant to get books banned.

These books aren’t sold in the kids section. If someone found it and bought it, they were browsing an adult section.

EDIT: I just spoke to a friend of mine who sells romance books in her shop. It is a bit of a problem, but not because of libraries or places like her shop. It’s places like Walmart or Target that just chuck the book on any old shelf and parents that don’t actually review the book without buying it.

No advice but for what it’s worth, I’m doing the same thing at work now. Just wanted you to know I relate. Sorry your job sucks. I hope you find another soon

The thing that I see most is that AI is dumb and can’t do it yet so we don’t need to worry about this.

To me, it’s not about whether it can or not. If the people in charge think it can, they’ll stop hiring. There is a lot of waste in some big companies so they might not realize it’s not working right away.

I laughed at your reply, upvoted, and started to scroll when I remembered my TV has a “screen off” feature. I use it at bedtime to listen to futurama without the light making my sleep bad.

At some point the show stops playing and goes to a menu. You actually wouldn’t know the TV is on if it wasn’t for the light. 😑

This is exactly what my neighbor stopped me to tell me recently. About bringing in immigrants to vote and what not. I tried to tell him none of that information is true and show him where and why, but it’s really hard to do without making them dig further into their position.

Anne they are now conditioned believe that any media that doesn’t align with them is fake.

How do you choose? I always loved Teen Girl Squad.

I still get charged an activation fee for putting my sim in a new phone. It’s bullshit. I bought my phone outright from Apple. AT&T still charged the $30 activation fee.

Too late. I already canceled. FOSS is the future.

Why would they think this is okay?

Audible replaced a version of a book my boyfriend bought with a completely different version of the same book. I mean a different narrator and everything. He had purchased the book a few years earlier but he didn’t manage to get a refund from them.

I work on commercial real estate. Sometimes the fees we charge make me feel shitty but then I remember the borrowers are landlords.

Lemmy is my go to when I have downtime and want to mindlessly scroll but I’ve been really into making things lately so I’ve been on GitHub for fun trying to understand how other projects work.

I grew up pretty close to St. Mary’s. It’s a small town, probably like 3k people sorta between Topeka and Manhattan KS. A bunch of St Pius Catholics moved there and now they fight about it with the original citizens.

Keep in mind, this isn’t far from Westboro Baptist Church and a surprisingly large population of Mormons near Kansas City. Honestly the fact that they didn’t support this guys is pretty wild considering.

Small town KS has been increasingly left moving. My gay aunt was elected mayor of a different small town. The raid on the newspaper, has people rolling back (some) support in police, and while driving on some backroads near cattle farms, I saw a large amount of signs supporting Biden vs Trump in the election. It was pretty surprising.

You’re absolutely right. I agree with everything you said. The whole situation is really frustrating as users.

It did at the very very bottom. I almost missed it.

I work in commercial loans for a living. I can’t speak to other properties that aren’t securitized, but they can’t exactly just take your property without approval. there are exceptions to the rule but it would still require a lengthy and pricey legal process.
