There are ways of cooking shrimp

It is the food of the sea, after all.

Sony audio products are terrible about this. Earbuds with names like WF-1000XM5, like how am I supposed to shop for that?

Hmmmmm… 🤔

This has been my approach so far. I try to walk with a particularly heavy footfall past that area, so that hopefully my presence is known in advance. So far, nothing’s gotten close enough to be a concern. I’ve sometimes looked back and seen them crossing the street some distance behind me so I know they’re active at the time, so maybe they are hearing me and keeping a distance.

Maybe praying and hoping isn’t doing anything???

This would require spending an extended period of time speaking with a Tesla salesperson. I’d probably rather just die.

thus erasing all the cultures that went into said slop.

Nobody’s art is being deleted, what are you trying to say here?

More than 5,600 artists signed an open letter protesting the auction, saying that the works used AI models that are trained on copyrighted work.

All artists are trained on copyrighted work.

Your mouth and anus are the same tube.

Wasn’t the Mario movie pretty well-received among fans, though? The Resident Evil films were also very successful, despite not being popular with the game’s original audience.

My Bill Murray story:

I live in Austin, but I never go to SXSW because it’s an absolute clusterfuck. Some time in the early 2010s, some friends managed to finally drag me out to a few free shows one year. We were getting drinks at this bar that had a bunch of bands playing, and after a while we see Bill Murray is behind the bar serving drinks. Like, actually Bill Murray. I didn’t think it was him at first, because nobody seemed to even notice that Bill fuckin’ Murray is tending bar right now. He definitely wasn’t there when we walked in, but that’s him right now, taking orders at the bar.

Though, “taking orders” may be generous. He’d hear your order. He’d nod his head, say “Comin’ up”, and pour you a shot of tequila. Doesn’t matter what you actually ordered, he gave you tequila. Oh you wanted a whiskey sour? Sure thing, here’s some tequila. Margarita with a lime wedge? You betcha, enjoy your tequila. Oh your table wants another round of Lone Stars? You betcha, six tequilas, on the way.

One of the bands got really angry with him, saying that he got them too drunk to play, and blamed him for ruining their set. Dude gets on the mic and says “I’m sorry you guys, y’all deserve better… but fuckin Bill Murray over there got us shitfaced!” And then Bill shouts from behind the bar “I don’t even work here!”

Never went back to SXSW. Why would I, when it’d be impossible to top that experience?

That’s interesting that they give you the full details like that. Most games will, at most, tell you “We took action against a player you reported”, or something equally vague.

HI I’M NICOLE BUT YOU CAN CALL ME THE FEDIVERSE CHICK

Sounds like bi-curious, to me.

Can confirm. I used to fidget with the charger on an old laptop of mine by just spinning it in place in the port. Over time, it loosened up the connections to the point where I had to duct tape the plug into the port.

Thanks for this, I had no idea this was added! Gonna tweak my settings now.

you take out one of your 13 guns that are just on your person for no reason

My man just had his phone stolen and you think there’s not a reason for 13 guns? He needs at least 20, if anything!

I’m pretty sure they’re talking an ice apple.

Thanks for the details! I’m actually not sure if I ever got a second dose of it; I think my mom still has my vaccination records from when I was a child, so I’d have to do some digging to find that out.

Right?! Like, this was a solved problem. It’s insane that we’re back to this point again.
