What’s incredible to me is that the results really aren’t very good. We all know what they looked like young, and the AI version is just… Not Wright. No Hanks, AI.

Steering wheel looks like a gun which fits since it’ll probably kill you

Headline should say coming TO the Fediverse.

“It’s coming for you!” has a more aggressive meaning.

Smithereens!

This sent me to Wikipedia for kiwifruit, where I read the Chinese characters translate as “macaque peach,” but I don’t know if that means “peach-ish fruit macaques like to eat” or “peach-ish fruit with fur like a macaque.”

I think we can skip the " Chinese gooseberry" interval.

I assume the Kiwi who rebranded them as “kiwifruit” 🥝 intended both “from New Zealand” and “sorta looks like a kiwi bird.”

Tbf, there is a resemblance to a pinecone, especially if you’re not exactly getting the plumpest, ripest specimens.

Those Capitalists, they’re eating the dogs, they’re eating the cats!

I feel like somebody, maybe a Technician, could conjoin this with another viral photo from this week, to “show” her and her puppy cowering under a jumping Elon. Since it’s really his platform that’s causing her pain, and even her existence.

Which is the stage of, “I’m bored because the people I’m supposed to supervise are busy doing all the stuff. I think I’ll call a meeting.”

(Too many people are at this stage)

No idea. But I think I’ll check it again every few days

Mine was off, don’t know if it’s because I’m in California, but I toggled it back and forth to check and left it off.

Anon should go suck the landlord’s dick

Green leafy vegetables

Tomorrow is a good day for fish

We started using yummy.com during lockdown and never really went back, although once in awhile I’ll do a big shop in our best local independent grocery store, for the interesting specialty items they carry, and more variety of fresh fish, meat and veg. We like the convenience of all being able to add to the cart from our various devices, then I put in the latest coupon, add a tip, and in less than an hour it’s at our apartment door.

If the store hires/schedules enough professional cashiers to cover all the registers (or enough per amount of customers at that hour) you’ll get through a lot faster than waiting behind all the untrained customers trying to scan, code, and bag their own groceries. A good cashier can scan a cartful six times as fast as the average customer, especially if there’s also a bagger, and you can be entering your credit card or other payment information at the same time. If you are waiting, it’s because of corporate greed understaffing.

It’s telling you, “bring an extra pair of pants.”

Haha, I worked in a high-end gift shop and spent my day reading labels for ladies too vain to wear reading glasses.

I’d help them pick out the gift they needed, often for their mother in law which I think is unfair, it’s HIS mom. Then while we wrapped the gift, they’d get several other items for their own home.

We weren’t on commission so it was never a “hard sell,” and I was always sensitive to people who prefer to shop alone because I do too. But some customers want attention or at least human interaction.

And sometimes I would take a mom’s little kids around the store, showing them the things it was okay to touch and steering them away from the fragile porcelain, so their mom could relax enough to think about what she needed to get. Fortunately we had a section of “grandma gifts for children” so I could always take them there if she was comfortable having them out of her sight.

And then a few times a year we’d get a man, who was shopping for his wife or his own mother! We’d always help them out because they’d be lost, and often it was less about finding the things, and more about asking about her, so we could help them figure out what she might enjoy and appreciate.

Yes, seeing if she’s okay with meeting outside the retail context is the test. If not, go no further.
