Yup, won’t touch Disney
A bot can’t write “Disney’s Mickey Mouse, specifically the one depicted in the 2000’s cartoons still under copyright, fucking Donald Duck in his dussy”
I’m gonna infringe on medical patents and pirate as much corpo medicine as I can in 12 hours
I need to get a job as an op-ed writer. My current job expects me to not make egregious errors, or at the bare minimum apologize for and fix the ones I do make.
Yeah, they cut off API access 2 hours ago, and then renamed Twitter to X about 20 minutes ago.
This is old enough that you could cross-post from Twitter to Facebook
Buy the land and put it in a trust, or incorporate and establish zoning laws.
The town im in keeps developing like crazy (for who im not sure, as there's still a decent homeless population and empty housing but anyway)
Supply and demand. Build more and prices stop rising and maybe some people without homes will be able to catch up.
There’s a housing crisis and we need more housing built everywhere. Especially dense, walkable housing. From the sound of it they’re building car-dependent sprawl around you.
Yes, WordPress and Ghost websites are able to share their posts via ActivityPub, so people can follow them through Mastodon-like Fedi apps.
Literally every piece of infrastructure. Infrastructure is everything that makes things more efficient by being so ubiquitous that it becomes practically invisible.
Sure, there are the obvious ones like clean water and electricity pumped directly to our homes. There are also other kinds of infrastructure that is less visible.
Standardized size of shipping containers, food safety regulations, a legal system that keeps companies’ worst impulses in check, HTML as a freely available spec. These are a few of the many things that enable us to have a high trust society.
Well that’s an ironic summary
I can sympathize with not having the money to pay for a search engine when others are free. Aside from the great results, I like the idea of paying for a search engine.
“If you aren’t paying for the product, you are the product being sold” is true, and I don’t want to use a search engine that is trying to sell me to advertisers. I want the company’s goals to be aligned with mine as a user. I want them to worry about making me happy as a user, not finding ways to show me ads.
Kagi has a search lens for Fediverse forums like Lemmy. More content in Lemmy will make that even better
Being accountable to someone. Also my least favorite ADHD lifehack.
I just want enough to be able to ensure I have a home, food, and healthcare. I’m basically hoarding money for an old age without socialism
If you’re depressed, sometimes you need something like exercise or spending time with your people (irl, not online).
If you’re depressed, sometimes you need therapy, sometimes you need meds.
Sometimes you have to fake it first.
Sometimes you need to make yourself do the thing.
Sometimes you need to be kind to yourself and give yourself rest and acceptance.
Too bad you won’t be able to buy them in the US: https://www.polygon.com/gaming/566642/8bitdo-pauses-us-shipments-trump-tariffs
Patriarchy According to The Barbie Movie
This video essay uses the Barbie Movie as a primer to help explain what patriarchy actually is, what it isn't, and how it ends up harming everyone, including...
I’m kind of amazed that this is getting downvotes after 20 minutes, even though the video is 33 minutes. I guess you already saw this?
NYT Opinion | Why Aren’t More People Marrying? Ask Women What Dating Is Like. (Gift Link)
Harping on people to get married from up in the ivory tower fails to engage with reality of life in the dating trenches.
This is a tough piece, one that I share without fully endorsing. It lays out the problems that women experience with some men, like that men are not getting college degrees at the same rate as women or the lack of emotional modelling provided to boys and young men:
For a variety of reasons — mixed messages from the broader culture about toughness and vulnerability, the activity-oriented nature of male friendships — it seems that by the time men begin dating, they are relatively “limited in their ability and willingness to be fully emotionally present and available,” he said.
Where I think it stops short is in thinking about the root causes of those things, and how supporting men can bring them into the feminist tent.
When do we expect PS5 Slim to drop?
I know USA should be getting them sometime in November, any idea when though?
ADHD has real health effects
Compared to other killers from a public health standpoint, ADHD is bad. Smoking, for example, reduces life expectancy by 2.4 years, and if you smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day you're down about 6.5 years. For diabetes and obesity it's a couple of years. For elevated blood cholesterol, it's 9 months. ADHD is worse than the top 5 killers in the U.S. combined.
Having ADHD costs a person nearly thirteen years of life, on average. Barkley adds, And that's on top of all the findings of a greater risk for accidental injury and suicide....About two-thirds of people with ADHD have a life expectancy reduced by up to 21 years.
This is from Edward M. Hallowell and John J. Ratey in their book ADHD 2.0
This change means regulations will look at recreational marijuana use much like alcohol use and won't test for it in new hires.

Recreational marijuana has been legal in Michigan since late 2018, but in the years since people looking to work for the state of Michigan were still subject to marijuana testing. But that changed this week in a unanimous vote from the Michigan Civil Service Commission.
