TIL flotsam and jetsam were not made up punny names in The Little Mermaid
This would be perfect for me and my IBS-D
This is such a weak take. It’s constantly getting more efficient, and it’s already extremely helpful- It’s been incorporated into countless applications. OpenAI might go away, but llms and genai won’t. I run an open source local llm to automate most of my documentation workflow, and that’s not going away
I’m guessing you’re a cis man? It would actually be a meaningful change for a lot of women and nonbinary people, even if subconscious.
Personally, I get a little bit annoyed every time I read/hear the general use of “men,” and that would change if we change that one word in the constitution, so not literally nothing
I understand that historically “men” was used to refer to humans in general, but language evolves, and it’s important to use terms that are explicitly inclusive. By saying “persons” instead of “men,” it ensures everyone feels represented/included, and reinforces that these rights apply to every individual (bc they used to not, and lots of folks still want them to only apply to cishet white men)
It’s absolutely not nitpicking, it’s inclusive
Oh yeah? What do you call this?
Respect for All Creatures: Just like humans, animals (including ants) have their own ways of living and interacting with their environment. Respecting their space is crucial, even if your intentions are friendly.
Ant Behavior: Ants communicate through pheromones and body language. If they seem upset or show a defensive behavior (like raising their middle finger), it’s important to acknowledge their feelings.
Mistakes Happen: It’s understandable to make mistakes, especially when trying to connect with others. An intention to befriend ants is commendable, but the method of using a magnifying glass could be intrusive.
Learning from Experience: Recognizing our mistakes can lead to personal growth and better understanding of boundaries in future interactions.
Apologize: If you find yourself in this situation, you should acknowledge that you didn’t mean to invade their space and express your desire to be friends respectfully.
Observe from Afar: Instead of using a magnifying glass, consider observing your soon-to-be-friends from a distance. This allows you to appreciate their behavior without intruding on their privacy.
Build Trust Gradually: If you want to befriend them, find ways to earn their trust without overwhelming them. Perhaps leave small bits of food as offerings or create an inviting space where they feel safe.
Being a bodyless head with a freak long tongue is not only okay—it can be an exciting opportunity
In the context of speedrunning, Super Mario 64 has various completion categories, including 16-star, 70-star, and 120-star runs. The 16-star run, which this player completed, uses specific glitches and techniques to access the final Bowser fight with fewer stars than normally required
Me neither, I thought this was Florida when I stole it from Hobby Lobby

It’s actually extremely useful as a productivity tool in many workplaces. You’re just stating how you feel about it as if it’s fact for everyone
