Funky cheese, relevant username

My mom had a manager who didn’t have fingerprints. When the bank they worked at implemented fingerprint login on the computers it caused a few problems.

I’m not sure I was clear with that point - it is wrong due to the sentence fragments, but my native-English-speaker Spidey senses tell me there’s something else wrong with it too, but I don’t know what.

I’m not sure it’s the only piece of the list though, this is an out of context picture and my first guess is it’s from a children’s book and the next pages list out more things. I could be completely wrong on that guess but I came to these comments looking for context, nobody has provided it yet, and I don’t care enough to find out, lol. Edit: not a children’s book with that font. I don’t know and I’m slightly buzzed because I’m off tomorrow and had a beer, sorry.

Sometimes I wonder what the prevalent response to AI would be if we lived in a better world? There are environmental and resource concerns, but I think if they weren’t desperately trying to shove it everywhere to make a profit I’m not sure those would be unmanageable.

Information still wants to be free, but the way corporations are actually using AI right now in our economic hellscape punches people much lower in the (Maslow’s) hierarchy of needs.

I’m a US native speaker and that semicolon is weird. Most people couldn’t fully tell you the rules around semicolon use and often use it wrong in various ways (iirc it’s mostly supposed to be used with two full grammatically complete sentences that you could use something else between them but they’re connected in some way so the semicolon is used to indicate that, it’s rare). But the semicolon in the meme is weird in ways I can’t put my finger on - the sentence fragments are a common enough thing that it doesn’t flag as wrong to me, but there’s more than that. Why not use a colon (:), if this is maybe the first of a list in a kids book or something?

I’d love to figure out some improvement to CoMaps cycling directions, although I’m starting to use it more as a digital map and doing my own route planning. Both CoMaps and Google make some bizarre routing choices but this is a place where Co Maps has space to really excel. Co Maps might already be slightly better in some regards but Google is usually workable and CM’s route is 90% better and 10% baffling utter nonsense. The goog has absolutely been responsible for multiple occasions where I’ve said fuck no and ended up riding on the sidewalk though.

You’d think but ICE has been really active in the Midway neighborhood of St Paul and recently they’re in the suburbs due to less housing density so less resistance when they do show up.

According to Reddit, they announced this while harassing kids at bus stops.

Press X to doubt.

What worries me is that Reddit has basically hidden the Minnesota subreddits from all, the mainstream media has been reporting a lot less, and I’m guessing the other oligarch social media is also hiding what’s going on - are they going to keep doing this but silence us so the normies outside Minnesota think it’s ended?

According to the other thread it is the opening scene of Silicon Valley, or half of it is at least. It’s a shitpost that doesn’t belong in this community.

I was a fairly young teenager when I saw Starship Troopers for the first time, it was a TV edit with that scene and a couple others removed (in hindsight it’s a bit shocking how little they had to cut for TV). Years later my family was staying in an RV park and we were looking though the campground DVDs and they had that movie available so I suggested we watch it. And nearly died of embarrassment at that scene, lol.

The folks up at Whipple here in Minneapolis have been chucking dildoes at ICE and local law enforcement. Helps that one of the major spots for local resistance is a sex toy store, and they’ve got a lot of “expired” dildoes around.

(If you see reports of “objects” thrown at fascists, it’s not chunks of ice anymore, lol.)

Increased surface area for longer flight time seems to be the goal… could a round of estrogen be a performance enhancing drug?

And most of Florida, even the major cities, are extremely car dependent and sprawling. It’ll take decades to fix when they finally decide they need to.

Hank Green has a video on his channel where he ranks AI company logos based on how much they look like buttholes.

Butt it’s not just AI companies - I ordered something from Walmart last year and I was looking at the box in my recycling, thinking the snowflake pattern was kinda cool… then I thought about that Hank Green vid and realized that the Walmart star kinda looks like a butthole too.

I’ve got the original

GE sells LED bulbs that come with a remote, nothing smart about them, I can dim them or turn them off entirely with the remote that lives on my bedside table.

When you both have IBS but want to spend more time together.

Earlier today I found out that old spice makes a lavender scented deodorant for men. It’s light and pleasantly subtle

Minneapolis Police Department managed it too a few years ago when they murdered an Australian dual citizen who called them for a commotion she heard next door iirc.

Remember kids, if you’ve got a problem and you call the cops you’ve now got two problems.
