Went to a wedding, they had a poet dressed like a fox, you give him a word and he writes a poem... I chose 'espresso'
I am so envious that this guy found such an amazing way to do what he loves.

Sinéad O'Connor ripping up a picture of Pope John Paul II on SNL in 1992
Reply in thread
Of the picture? Or why it’s being posted about today?
Re: the picture - she was the musical guest (or host? Can’t remember) on SNL, and the protested/called out the pedophilia/abuse happening in the Catholic Church by ripping up a picture of the Pope on live TV. People got pisssssed and she got absolutely destroyed in the public eye. Turns out she was right. But it was never publicly addressed nor was she redeemed in any way in the public eye.
Re: why posted today - she died today. And is considered heroic for the above mentioned action so I would imagine OP was memorializing that moment on this the day of her death.

Drew Barrymore talk show will pause production until Hollywood strike ends

He specifically did his shows without ANY writing whatsoever… he could have written his own show but he didn’t write anything down. He didn’t get scab writers… he literally went out on set, and bullshitted with his co host and spun a bottle cap and in essence showed how trash shows are without writers… he did his show to prove a point… and he accomplished that…

My HOA reacting to peanuts
Reply in thread
Yeah… my neighbor has two rats (I mean small little ankle biting POS dogs) who bark anytime someone walks remotely near the backyard fence which is on a Main Street because he lives on a corner… or they sit by the front window which he leaves open and bark/whine all damn day while he’s gone…
I 100% sympathize with the neighbor complaining about the barking…

The protein shake just doesn't spark the same joy
This is why I do CICO. Let’s me adjust what I eat based off what I’m feeling that day… and it’s nice because ultimately it’s about eating at a deficit over a week, in my case at least… since I’m targeting 1.5 lbs/week it’s just about being at a deficit overall… so if I have a rough day I can theoretically “make up for it” throughout the rest of the week.
Of course I still need to exercise control and not just eat whatever whenever… but I love the flexibility and it’s allowed me to stay on track for 50 lbs over 6 months…

I mean… they have Bible verses printed on their cups and fry containers and what not… I worked for them back in the day and the founders were 100% what you’d imagine when you think of rich white SoCal conservatives… this saddened me but didn’t surprise me at all… and honestly, until I saw this headline I’d root for them 100% because they treat their employees well, pay well, and promote from within. As a company to work for (this decision excluded) they are pretty damn great.
Although I’d like to offer an alternative to the conservative COVID denial option, which is they are very old school… I could totally see a couple of boomers deciding customer service (smiling at your customers like a cheesy training video from the 80s) is more important than health concerns.

Just read the patch notes and it sounds like the classic whining that MMO hardcores do every time something changes… seems to me like this only effects the try-hards who have been taken advantage of broken mechanics and bugs to dominate and faceroll everything through end game…
I’m only level 57 but I’ve finished the campaign and am just working my way through TIII stuff… so maybe I’ll see it later… but it didn’t look terrible to me. 🤷🏼♂️

Yeah…… the timing seems suspect at best… seems like she stuck around to help maintain the best image during the trial but now that he’s busted she’s out.

[Hugo Awards] How History and Gay Porn Defeated a Sci Fi Alt Right Takeover
I’m glad you clarified this had already been written on Reddit. I thought I was going crazy! I could have sworn I read this one…
Thanks for posting here! I miss the HobbyDrama community too! But sadly I have absolutely nothing to contribute… just my upvotes and comments.

Lol… for me the poetry. Although I think the “gimmick” of being the fox is kinda fun looking too.

“We’ve Changed the Game”: Teamsters Win Historic UPS Contract

Yup…. And this is the fuckin problem… happens in healthcare too… as someone in the inside of a major healthcare org I see the writing on the wall. Supposedly “non-profit” but we’re being told that because we don’t have constant growth at high enough levels every year that we all need to accept minimal raises and no bonuses… but the cost of care is increasing and the CEO is still making more money than I’ll ever see in my lifetime…

The Hyperloop was never meant to be built. Elon Musk admitted it was all about fueling opposition to California’s high-speed rail project so it would get canceled.

Based off the downvotes I’m guessing there’s not a lot Office fans here yet….. so I’ll be the one to say well played fellow Lemmite. Well played. 🍻

An Asian MIT student asked AI to turn an image of her into a professional headshot. It made her white with lighter skin and blue eyes.

Nope… because I just tried it as a white male and got back a pure Asian man using the same prompts… and I’ll be damned if I’m not jealous/sad because the man it spit back out was way better looking than me…

I actually haven’t… so honest question, what is that? Because your initial comment does seem a little out there… but I may just be ignorant of something and I’d like to be educated.

Wouldn’t he still get residuals from any work he’s done? She’d probably want a chunk of that too…

One thing I’d recommend is just do the capstone and go to T3… the power jump after getting the gear that isn’t soft capped is insane… I was struggling T2 with a level 52ish Barb and I hit the bullet and grinded the story to get to T3 and I was shocked at the change… still gotta watch the survivability… but damage took off.
