Thank you for the reminder I should binge some QI again.

Today I read the news.

…mentally and emotionally hurting counts too, right?

AI-generated art posted anywhere can bother me. It depends.

If the art comes with a post crediting the art and artists used to create the piece? I don’t mind them, even if the art isn’t to my taste. But more than often it’s not. And I do consider it stealing if the AI-generated art wasn’t pulling only from the person who was using the AI’s own art.

As most take from anywhere on the internet and attributes it to no one, I shall continue to block.

Sounds like you have a lot in common with my father’s reading tastes. In which case, I will recommend the Thursday Next series by Jasper Fforde.

Yeah, but the community here is theonion. The comment applies the same for any of the satire sites.

For real. The headline could have said “The U.S. is unprepared” and covered the same concepts.

Sorry, Onion, some of these literally have Christmas in their titles. That’s a stretch, even for you. XD

Wow, I didn’t know luchadors could make it past 500.

Is the preview picture… not showing a shark to anyone else? I clicked on the article and didn’t see this picture there either.

I’m not surprised. I forget when I looked up the research, but several hair typed definitely don’t need shampoo as much as people think they do. That we have another product (conditioner) yo undo the damage shampoo does to out hair is astounding.

As for the overall bathing thing, I agree. It depends on what you do day to day, your environment, and genetics. With all three of those factors, some people need to bath more often than others need to.

Most of my washing routine is actually for chronic pain. I don’t need to scrub for smell too much, but hot water feels good on pained areas.

I thought this was an Onion article for a moment.

I feel sorry for her future coworkers, but at the same time? I like when people have to live the perspective of the people they treat badly. I hope this teaches her a lesson.

It’s Chipotle.

Scientists discover racism: more news at eleven.

We are awful with human to human communication and AI hasn’t helped with that. We need the technology (or straight up common sense) to get humans to listen to and watch other animals, more than talk. (Yes, I’m being nitpicky about the headline.)

Let alone beings which use smells to communicate. That one I’ll need a lot of help with. My sense of smell is awful just in comparison to other human beings.

It took scientists forever to say animals might have feelings. Meanwhile, anyone who has spent any time with animals already knows this.

Sounds like a part of Imposter syndrome. “My problems aren’t that bad”, but if someone else had the same problems? You would recognize it as it is. Only when they are your problems do you decide you shouldn’t feel as bad about them.

As uncertain as I am about the technology, people already steal voices from voice actors, singers, and celebrities. At this point I’m just glad these artists gave their permission.

Beauty And Warrior. Bad animation, every young woman looked the same (the brothers too, but maybe they are twins?), bad voice acting, repeating the same bad ”going down the cavern” scene three times, and I still don’t know what anyone’s reason for doing anything was.

It is a hilarious movie to drop on people. Even after telling them how awful it is, everyone is always surprised.

There is the awful part of me who hopes someone accidentally breaks the bottle before it is sold.

I should stop trying to read things when I haven’t slept.

Now I’m wondering why the entire audience fled when she finally moved. No one stuck around to ask if she needed help or anything?

I can’t believe how there wasn’t a single person in the audience who tried to stop anyone. Other than the person who took the gun away from her head. Still. No one stopped the people trying to injure or assault her. No one called anyone out? It’s sickening.
