Much better for the environment than your typical coal-powered cat.

I feel like there's gotta be a separate chart entirely for the late-'80s/mid-'90s sitcoms. Friends, Frasier, Seinfeld, Roseanne, Home Improvement, Wings - that's an argument in and of itself.

But they're definitely not in any box with "Good" under it.

kinda disappointed it's not a strandbeest with one of those litter-picker-upper sticks taped to the front

Man, fuck this horseshit.

This is a Bat-Terry!

It used to be serious. It still is, but it used to be, too.

Man, that "was" really got my hopes up for a minute.

Search Engine Optimization. Basically gaming search engine indexing algorithms so that your content appears more "relevant" (read: crammed full of as many keywords as possible) and thus higher up on search results, usually at the expense of having, you know, actual content worth reading.

I use uBlacklist with this filter and that generally keeps the repeat offenders at least out of image search, but clearing out every SEO-spam print-on-demand mimc-site was already a game of whack-a-mole before consumer LLMs became a thing; I imagine now it'd be like playing whack-a-mole with a hydra. Still, it does at least help.

Alright, so you probably can't get rid of it, but you can make it look like it's defective. Make it look like it's sending way too many false positives. Find somewhere where you can get away with making obvious mistakes and then make like fifty of them in a row. "Why would I, an intelligent human being, just sit in the middle of an empty street doing donuts in an 18-wheeler for 10 straight minutes? I have a job to do," you say. If you got one of those "constantly monitoring everything you say" things Amazon tried rolling out, just start spouting random gibberish. Some pencil-pusher at HQ sees a transcript come back that just says "reptile shoestring meridian front sawdust henway ball Amtrak septuagint ladder correct horse battery staple java thorpe 2 Chainz" over and over for like 40 pages, worst-case scenario he's not gonna read it, best-case scenario he's gonna think the company's paying way too much for shit that don't work.

My class was set to graduate right around the time the pandemic hit and a lot of people ended up graduating late because the school literally couldn't offer the classes they needed to finish their degree. Anyone to whom your date of graduation is actually relevant likely isn't going to bat an eye at anyone who was in college within the last 5 years graduating a couple months late.

And, of course, there's that old stand-by moral of "the only reason it seems like all your peers are doing better is because the ones in the same situation as you aren't going on social media to brag about it." So don't rely on that as a metric too heavily.

They spell it out under their FAQ but I doubt that's legally binding

How much food and what is it?

...Did we mention it doubles as a convenient dumping ground for mob snitches?

"Eat your dice, Brennan!"

"Frank, are you saying 'soul' or 'hole'?"

well duh, that's how they built the pyramids

Motherfucker looks like he sleeps in a space blanket and knows a lot about the Magna Carta.

"Hale and well-met, everybody."

"Nørmr!"

"What would you say to an ale, there, Nørmr?"

"I'd say 'Make peace with the spirits of your ancestors, for you shall soon greet them in Valhalla.'"

And try very hard to let the door hit you on the way out!
