Maybe I'm a lightweight, but pseudoephedrine makes me feel weird. I can't put my finger on it, but maybe a bit jittery and kind of cold. Also hyper - like I'll want to do chores when I take it

Works better than anything else for my colds, but it also makes me feel odd so I avoid it unless I'm feeling super trash.

What the hell kind of bidet were you using? I've got what I'd consider middle of the road shits, and every bidet that I have ever used has been literally a different world from mashing my shit around with a tissue.

Went from like a three-minute process involving a lot of paper to ten seconds, followed by thirty to dry, and usually no toilet paper at all.

Maybe now that you're older you should try it out again? I probably wouldn't have liked one as a kid either, but I also took like one shower a week.

I mean, people were saying the same thing when it became not cool to call someone a gay slur for fun. Language evolves, and with it, what is acceptable evolves.

I personally am not offended by PC Master Race, but I also don't give a fuck about the name, so what's it really gonna hurt rebranding?

Honestly don't get the attachment. Not like it's particularly clever or anything.

Quick question. I just need a yes or no answer. Would you wear a mask if you weren't being forced to?

Still kinda blows my mind how like the most socialist people I know (fellow artists) turned super capitalist the second a tool showed like an inkling of potential to impact their bottom line.

Personally, I'm happy to have my work scraped and permutated by systems that are open to the public. My biggest enemy isn't the existence of software scraping an open internet, it's the huge companies who see it as a way to cut us out of the picture.

If we go all copyright crazy on the models for looking at stuff we've already posted openly on the internet, the only companies with access to the tools will be those who already control huge amounts of data.

I mean, for real, it's just mind-blowing seeing the entire artistic community pretty much go full-blown "Metallica with the RIAA" after decades of making the "you wouldn't download a car" joke.

It's funny, growing up near a steel mill/train hub, I took for granted how confused other people might be about what the hell "coke" is.

On-topic - I once looked up stats for estimated premature deaths due to industry in our area and it was eye-opening. I really want to get out of here.

Crazy how people have the ability to overlook/ignore deaths caused by things as long as the deaths are a bit more gradual. A hundred premature deaths over the course of a year or so is practically nothing on the public's radar, but if an accidental release at the mill killed a single person downwind, there'd be hell to pay.

The funniest shit is these sad dudes are probably clamoring to say they'd take dinner with Musk in hopes they'd somehow magically unlock the secret to being rich, totally unaware of the fact that the "secret" is to start with enough wealth to get that first leg-up, and no amount of lobster dinner with Musk will change the fact that they will never have his money.

Not sure why anyone would want dinner with Tate unless they wanted to get into human trafficking.

Take the $10 million, ya dinguses.

If I recall correctly, they took a photo of a face of a political leader of some sort and then generated an image as a permutation of it - it wasn't a prompt alone.

Come back to me after convincing a group of non tech-savvy iPhone-using friends or family to use literally anything but whatever the default messaging app is available on their phone or whatever they're already used to.

I think the most frustrating part is Apple is willfully hampering the ability to intercommunicate between iPhones and Androids and people aren't like "Oh, fuck them for doing that", they're like "Oh, Android sucks." Like it's just a wildly successful and incredibly scummy tactic to convince people that Apple devices are superior and people didn't just fall for it, they're willfully diving in headfirst.

It's a shame, really, because I do think they make some pretty good hardware. Might not be my thing, but they make a good phone. That said, I'll never patronize them because of the bullshit I've had to endure trying to communicate with my iPhone-owning family.

There was a time back when gas prices got kinda high when I thought Americans would finally shift down to slightly smaller cars, but now it's practically a cultural thing for half the country to burn as much fuel as possible, so I suspect even if gas prices here hit Europe levels it wouldn't cause them to budge much.

It does feel really odd, though, going somewhere like a school and just being absolutely surrounded by huge SUVs and pickup trucks that you know damn well like 90% of the drivers aren't actually utilizing.

Double-sucks because it's becoming more and more difficult to find a small car. Everything new, even most cars, are huge.
