As I understand the story, Michelin made tires for cars… and people drive in cars. Maybe if people had a handy guide that told them all the best places to eat, they’d start driving to those places… thus the Michelin Guide was born!

Asshole: no.

Misguided: yes.

His reaction isn’t unreasonable. Misplaced well intentioned actions likely will not end as intended. Ultimately, she didn’t get it. She misunderstood what he loved about the guitar.

Yeah… don’t pay any attention to this kind of nonsense. Cats are obligated to carnivores. They don’t have the machinery to process a lot of non-meat foods. If they occasionally get into some things, it shouldn’t cause a problem.

Ultimately, just listen to your vet.

So far as the milk and cats thing… I think the issue is that they love it, they’ll almost always go for it, but many if not most are lactose intolerant… so too much will cause issues. If you had a cat who could process it, then great!

If some place has crazy sock day, they’re talking about people wearing bright loud print socks or something super outlandish.

The crazy socks in the photo are the socks they give you when you’re admitted inpatient at the mental health hospital.

The only thing Edge is good for is downloading literally any other browser…

All you had to do was tell me he sells his own supplements…

I don’t understand what someone’s sexuality has to do with whether or not you can mock them for being Trump supporters. IDC who you fuck, or who fucks you, a Trump supporter is a Trump supporter.

Mocking gay people for being gay is not cool. Mocking gay people for being a Trump supporter is completely indistinguishable from mocking any other Trump supporter.

I wonder how hard they laughed at the vinyl wrap shop…

Have you thought of not canceling but simply removing your payment method?

That’s not the problem.

Math classes never allowed calculators, not because they were some sort of unfair advantage, but because if you somehow became reliant on it, it would hamper your ability to learn how to solve the problem.

The main problem with AI in education is that you won’t learn how to do the thinking usually required to be successful in the class.

Call me old fashioned, but the point of a college education is to learn how to think. Learn how to assess problems and tease fact from fiction. Learn how to form your own opinions; understand why you have those opinions; and learn how to defend them.

The problem is, that’s difficult, resource intensive, and time consuming (you’ll have to pry my Oxford comma from my cold dead hands). But that’s the point of essays and a lot of the other dumb shit they have you do in liberal arts classes. Offload that essay to Claude or ChatGPT, and you don’t have to go through the struggle. The growth is in that struggle.

Fuck I’m old…

Your affinity for chaos betrays your bisexuality…

This is why it’s important to travel.

"Yeah. Sure. 'Operation Paperclip' worked out Fantastic for America and Americans. We are paying for that naïveté to this very day," the user wrote.

Umm… what?

Ignoring the fact that most if not all of them were full-blown card carrying Nazis, those guys kept the US steadily ahead of the Soviet Union during the Cold War and they got us to the Moon.

What the actual fuck could this guy be talking about?

Tin whiskers have also been identified as the cause of some satellites going down too, so spacecraft definitely still using leaded solder.

Also recommend looking at the homepage of that site. Lots of cool pictures and research papers on metal whiskering.

Clearly AI, but Biden totally would hold the phone like that for a selfie 😂

The statue is awesome, but it fails to capture the hatred and aggression in the photo.

None of them strike me as parody…. Plenty of folks behave as though they believe this stuff heartily. Many of them are in Milwaukee right now.

It’s nice to see good things happening in this world sometimes.

I literally thought the T was going to be titties, and was prepared to laugh. Now I’m just sad.

Sucks… good on D-brand for handling it with class though.
