The other day I asked my phone for a measurement conversion while cooking only to be greeted by the new Gemini nonsense. Don't touch my shit!

Then I was driving and tried to play a specific song, but the Assistant couldn't get further than dumping me into YouTube Music and hiding my navigation.

So anyways, I just uninstalled Assistant and after failing to find something else I came to Lemmy and saw this.

First we got rid of the king and queen, then the knights had no one to serve, the bishops lost there power over the populace, and then all that remained was the pawns and a bunch of empty castles.

Hang on, you're speaking the wrong language here and need to use wasted time words instead.

"Through our mutually agreed arrangement we can accomplish the organizational goals within satisfactory requirements while being cognizant of profits and budgetary availabilities."

Well, racism is not, unfortunately, either a recent invention or an exclusive ideology either. As an example, the stereotype of a drunk Irishman is a racist stereotype that was also common in America's history. If you can define a group of people, chances are there is a stereotype about them.

The one that sticks in my head is "gypped" for getting screwed over is based on gypsies and is the equivalent of saying "jewed" for some other people. Either one is a racist stereotype, but I didn't realize the first wasn't just a common term until it was pointed out to me.

Fucking gross. Maybe it's the 250+ audiobooks I have influencing me, but the very best ones I've listened to transcend just turning words into sound. Sound effects, music, tone, emotion, accents, sarcasm, and god damn BLOOPERS all improve the experience beyond just hearing what is written down.

I'm against it, fuck that literal noise.

New Balance, and a quick search of their website shows they have like 24 options in your size. I'm only slightly salty that I only get 6 options in my size and width.

Have you ever considered taking up martial arts and fighting Sun Wukong?

In all seriousness, I have very wide feet and also cannot purchase shoes in store, but I found a manufacturer that sells extra, extra wide shoes and I just buy directly from them.

I think the simple answer is tone. Just as a silly moment can undercut drama and the serious tone, a serious page in an otherwise light-hearted comic is jarring.

Imagine if Garfield and Jon had a moment where Jon confides in Garfield that he has cancer and he is worried it may be fatal; without some sort of punch line to lighten the moment it would feel sad, dark, and foreboding which goes against the tone set by the rest of the comic.

Mr.Rizzlectric, send this gyatt to the skibidi dimension and have him Ohio'd.

Does that also remove the need to poop and piss?

You have January 1, 1970 regret?

Chevron allowed to fuck up Louisiana coastline for $740 million.

Represent those you want to support with the best examples and those you want to oppose with the worst examples. Ignore that every group is made of people and people come in many distinct, unique varieties because it doesn't fit your narrative.

Because the British drawing perfectly straight lines has never caused problems for other countries.

I think that is actually pretty common. If not, your DNS queries would need to go through your ISP and they could interpret what you are doing from them. You could manually configure DNS settings to route to a trusted source, which could address both.

Jobs don't bring happiness. You might find laboring towards a goal satisfying, but don't confuse that feeling with job satisfaction.

Alt text is there to provide all alternative for the visually impaired. A good rule is that it should provide as good of an experience as anyone else would get. Given how complex this image is, a separate text write-up would be more useful, so don't sweat it.

Filters; opt-out of negativity. I switched to Voyager from Boost because it supports filters and I can just blacklist topics that cause me stress. Anywhere I can just stop a topic from ever entering my perception, the better. A single bad headline may ruin my mood for hours from just a glance, better to never get the chance.

Subscriptions; opt-in to the topics and news you care about. Find a good source that offers curated feeds instead of a firehouse of everything. You can only care so much, so use that attention sparingly on things that deserve it.

Avoid algorithms. They are designed to keep your attention on them and outage is good at that. Save your health, find it yourself.

Community. Find people, groups, or organizations that have a similar mindset and share good content with them. If they share good content in kind, you all can improve your state of mind.

Assuming I'm the same person I am today, then I would probably want to know more. "Dangerous" isn't a cause it's an effect; I want to know why it's dangerous. Then I want to know what can be done to change that.

I need a dramatic close up on a bystander who gasps in surprise before announcing "She's not even blowing into it!" followed by the close up of the shooter saying "That's right, I have gone BEYOND the need to blow into my instrument of destruction!"
