Since I always add salt and shake my popcorn they fall to the bottom and don’t cause any issues. So I guess I accidentally handle them by moving them somewhere I don’t end up noticing them while eating.

Well, at home at least. Can’t remember when I noticed a kernel at a theater.

In addition the the reduced skill barriers mentioned, the other side effect is the reduced time spent finding a matching photo and actually doing the work. Anyone can create it in their spare time, quickly and easily.

Lighter skinned men on tv mostly have makeup to counter the bright lights so they don’t appear pasty. They don’t generally go for strong eyeliner as part of that makeup.

Vance is a terrible person who opposes anything involving LGBTQ+ folks. His not following the strict gender roles he promotes is worthy of mocking.

I mean, we mock Republicans for getting dolled up and then targetting women, drag queens, and trans folks for not sticking to rigid gender expectations because those Republicans are hypocrits. If they weren’t so terrible we wouldn’t say anything.

More expensive, worse care, and not available to everyone.

By tying insurance to employment (side effect of some economic policy) the option to shop around was removed. When people are already forced to use the insurance provided by employment so that they can afford it, there is no way for some other insurance agency to be competitive. Then it just got worse over the years.

The ACA attempting to make a competitive market was a half assed substitute for just going all in on single payer, but at least people with the jobs that don’t provide insurance have the possibility of affording it now so it is better. Just getting stabbed instead of being shot better.

My first reading was greenhouses and I was thinking thise tend to have a ton of fancy details when build for the wealthy.

Then I realized you meant the giant mirror towers.

Win 11 because I’m too lazy to migrate to Mint.

My plan is to switch on the next upgrade at the latest, but that might be a few years.

train LLMs and image generators on their own (or rather previous generations’)

AIncest!

AI is intelligent like a Hoverboard hovers.

Armpit and foot fetishists are clearly behind this ban!

Already reported to be a thing, which is why supporters wearing ear tampons wasn’t a surprise.

I haven’t done an image one in years for the same reason.

My general internet usage has plummeted between ads and captchas and all the other modern website bullshit, which is why I am here so much.

Or google knows you will out up with it and want the most interaction it can get from you.

The conclusion can be extended that the true purpose of reCAPTCHA v2 is a free image-labeling labor and tracking cookie farm for advertising and data profit masquerading as a security service,” the paper declares.

I thought this was known since it came out. It seemed even more obvious when the images leaned in heavily to traffic related pictures like stoplights.

Also a lot of people ran in the general election that weren’t members of the two major parties.

Never heard of someone mocking cosplayers or people who playing role playing games, or calling people band nerds, or mocking a community band, or mocking local murals, or complaining about money being spent on public art, or anything like that?

You have been lucky!

Nah, boredom comes from society spending so much focus on working a job that most people are too worn down to enjoy a hobby that most of society looks down on. Like people being made fun of for reading books, playing music, painting, and having any kind of hobby that isn’t part of a money making hustle is what kills people’s interest in most hobbies.

Then there is the scheduling issues due to needing to waste so many hours working and commuting that they are too tired to play in a community sports league or have any kind of regular activity with other people. Heck, people often spent a lot more time doing community get togethers and even just visiting friends regularly compared to today.

Surr, some people are bored because they would have enjoyed those tedious tasks, but for the most part people are discouraged from doing fun things by society.

I avoid the types of exercise that trigger mine.

No running, the bounce seems to be the trigger. Rowing machines, swimming, hiking, and weightlifting are fine even though I don’t do them often enough.

When doing work I stay aware of the signs that it is likely to happen and change up before it kicks in. This took a long time to learn due to ADHD, but I have been able to stop at slow breathing for over a decade now.

Cold weather sometimes kicks it off, but loose fitting scarves work wonders. Too tight and restricted breathing will be worse than the cold air, but loose and high enough to break a cold wind works for me.

Took about 30 years with a rescue inhaler handy before I was comfortable with being able to notice the signs and just forgetting to get the prescription refilled.

Those were the positive things that white middle class people had access to. I would love those things to come back, but for everyone.
