The software ticket creator at work stopped working... because they ran out of AI credits. The robot company. The AI robot company ran out of ChatGPT premium. What a time to be alive.
For the record, @mike@social.chinwag.org did Psycho Killer at karaoke, so if David Byrne drops off the perch over the next week, you know who to blame.
I generally think people should run any design past ONE twelve year old before hitting publish, but I'm okay with this one.
Dolly Parton COULD have been a billionaire, if she'd wanted to. She could have sat on her money, bought property and stocks and fucking social media. She didn't. She gave kids 300 million books. She supported communities and helped actual people. Fuck every billionaire that doesn't. Be Dolly.
Design Challenge to the Fedi: An analog clock, whereby the hour hand spins clockwise, but the minute hand spins anti-clockwise. A mate of mine has gotten as far as needing a planetary gearbox, but they are unsure where to go from there.
Someone I was chatting to recently had autocorrect change a movie title to "Buddy the Vampire Slayer" and honestly, I think that's the sort of fresh take that would really revitalise the Air-Bud franchise. After all, there's nothing in the rules that says a dog CAN'T slay vampires.
There's a place I drive past occasionally called "Velvet Alley Tattoo", which not only sounds very painful, but also I dont think many people would see it.
Never underestimate the power of simply not being a complete moron.
Parts of the internet are freaking out that the AI chatbots have their own social media platform. I don't see what the big deal is, personally. Facebook has been around for yonks.
You haven't seen the last of me, Melbourne, mark my words. Now goodbye forever!
Second week of being Part of the Problem begins.

As an epilogue to this story, I told my friend who I was there with about the interaction and later pointed him out. She said "Oh, that's definitely a gay man, and he wanted to sleep with you".
So I guess my gaydar is out of calibration.

Although he did begin talking to me because he said I looked like "Love Sausage" from The Boys, so I suppose the signs were all there.

@mherbert For a second, while I was watching it, I thought it was going to say Jihad. An RnR Jihad sounds like a very relaxing holy war.

@Undercat Or, hell, here's a much better list than mine.

Today's training has primarily consisted of being read the entirety of the PDS out loud. Kill me.
I only just read the name they gave to the military operation to bomb the shit out of Iran, and what in the 12 year old in a Call of Duty lobby is going on? We live in the stupidest timeline.

@Undercat Aaaaaand I've just realised that these suggestions are Australia based, and you're in Alaska. I must be a genius.

@xinit Yeah, and the answer to the other one is Friday, but it's not my point. These questions test nothing to do with the aptitude to do the job. All of them were these stupid logic puzzles. The job was customer service.

@NarrelleMHarris@mas.to Oooh! I'm on board! I wrote a story a while back that I kept describing as "The movie Alien from the perspective of the Alien", and had a fun time. I'll be getting a copy of this one!
Remember when a Star Wars preview was an exciting thing and didn't look like it was knocked up by a dudebro typing a prompt into a plagiarism machine?
Flashy Facade is an EXCELLENT Drag Queen name.
Sky writing over Melbourne. Apparently it's a Kpop something?
What, and I mean this sincerely, the fuck?
