My flat is next to a uni hostel where you can't drink in it after 10. The stream of teens makes it very clear when semester has started but studying has not yet begun in earnest 🤣

Whipping out high school level achievements is such a bizarre flex

It took me until this book to realise what the author meant by "blades." Until then I had been imagining circular saw blades

Yea feels like if they can add "hamas-run" to body counts, they can say falsely when it's demonstrably false

Yea for sure. And content about incredibly restrictive diets aimed at men and boys isn't flagged like pro ana would be

If women did it they would call it an eating disorder but because it's men it's a brave personal choice

I assume they are the people that buy salt that is labelled organic (which should be an illegal thing to label salt)

It's getting easier to resist! Because of the increasing number of examples of how stupid it is, and also spite.

I'm honestly deeply sad that they are all assumedly too busy to turn up as a unit in matching outfits. Imagine how intense having 50 KCs at once would be

Ah, I see that the way yanks are about the smallest non American term in fiction is just part of their broader deal

Was reading Patricia Wredes enchanted forest/90s kids book a couple years ago and pretty surprised to see her just casually drop that young dragons don't grow their horns (which are different for different genders) until they had decided which they were, was a cool touch

Also like not really the main point but if an alien or a general/fully sapient ai or a particularly eloquent whale showed up with a novel they actually wrote I think people would not dismiss it out of hand the main issue people have with dumb gen ai is not "you're not a human"

Maybe it's actually the funniest option if musk is as good at licking Nazi boots as the cybertruck is at dealing with mildly difficult terrain

(I know I missed out Kākāriki but their size and style makes them seem a separate category to the big parrots, and it is specifically not being QUITE as exceptional as kea or kakapo that makes kākā the neglected middle child.)

Kākā are the underappreciated middle child of NZ parrots. Everyone loves the nocturnal roundbois and kea eclipse kākā by being ridiculously smart and brighter colours but kākā are still very smart and pretty!

My eternal pet peeve is people suggesting things AI could do that can already be done without it, for example by using Ctrl F

There is currently an alternative form of engagement that has just launched for the anti-stalking bill. Its to allow anon posting and try to get a broader engagement rather than addressing the issues in the article but it's another option and hopefully it will get decent engagement on this bill

One of those things that can be solved by simply not buying the alt versions you're uninterested in and continuing to play the games you like 🤣 but I guess if one is a fan then it's a crime if not everything they do from then is for you personally
