stores have no idea how much shoplifting takes place, they only know when stock doesn't match records. how much is due to human error, incorrect shipments, breakage, and theft is a guess. literally cannot know if shoplifting is on the rise.
this was a radicalizing discovery for me.
what i really want is the return of that Windows Phone feature where you could plug the phone into a dock and get a complete desktop experience out of it
maybe we shouldn't be laying the blame at the feet of contractors for the poor pay
maybe people take jobs that pay poorly because they need the work and money, even if it's not ideal.
not everyone has the clout to push for better without threatening their livelihood.
Congratulations to all the new players about to embark on a series of cascading obsessions and intrusive thought patterns
Miniature de vidéo Youtube. On voit Maëlle de Clair Obscur Expedition 33 à l'avant, et Renoir de dos derrière. Il est écrit : "Clair Obscur, jeu de facho ?"
Salut.
Ca fait cinq ans que j'étudie comment le nationalisme et le colonialisme ont des échos dans le jeu vidéo.

Scientists: "Food gives you energy"

And you know, you can extend from this to a real important corallary to "Everyone is 12 Now" theory is "There has been a generation-long project to keep people 12."

i really can not emphasize enough that the most materially impactful thing you can do for trans people right now is hire them.
Abolish the legal gender marker entirely. No government can be trusted to have a database of which people have changed theirs, no government has any business tracking what your gender is "supposed" to be in the first place.
the fact that most American workers live in such precarity that they can’t afford to travel to other parts of the world and see how other people live is not a coincidence - it is part of this country’s very design.
A wall full of mugs arranged in such a way that it looks like the mugs are repeating themselves, creating an uncomfortable illusion

If you're a trans person, especially a trans woman, please log off for the night and go read a book, play a game, do anything else. If you needa vent reach out to someone privately! Online is gonna make u spiral. Give it a night, gather your thoughts, and regroup when you have the stamina!
it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays
When you have an audience or a business you have to ensure that you always provide a lot more value to people than you extract from them. If you don't then, long term, it all breaks down.
Young people I talk to today...they feel like the whole entire world has broken this contract with them.
The Department of Defense is reportedly offering Anthropic an ultimatum: let us use your technology for whatever we want, or else. No company should be forced to be a tool of civil liberties violations.
Gru bad plan meme labeled “Robin Hanson and the boys” 1. Prediction markets aggregate info on interesting questions 2. Insider betting adds nonpublic info to aggregates 3. The best way to make money is for insiders to rig the market (Gru is shocked)
There needs to be a name for the process of announcing something that is deeply unpopular, seeing the extreme pushback against it, and then just delaying the thing’s implementation until you can quietly do it anyways a few months later.
my local park is full of hundreds of snow sculptures and someone has been adding museum labels
I think this is one of those things that's stunning, in all the worst ways, and most of them aren't obvious.

A meme of Alysa Liu based on Da Share Zone reading: JUST WALK OUT work social thing movies home class dentist figure skating too fancy weed store cops it your quick friend ships IF IT SUCKS... HIT DA BRICKS!!! Real winners quit You can leave!! Da Gold Zone
I’ve been talking about Alysa Liu’s story about her quitting skating only to come back and become even better because she did it for herself and this came to me in a dream…
hearing that "good first issue" tagging is becoming useless because it just prompts a bunch of identical ai-generated PRs.
makes me wanna burn down a datacenter. fucking. god. what a pointless salting of the earth.
This crap has absolutely nothing to do with protecting children and everything to do with forcing people to give up their privacy and data to companies like Palantir.
