Heyheyheyhihihello! Um! I am the blazing, radiant dawn that sits on the horizon of the great blue sleepy and the endless, choppy funny. I am so extraordinarily puppy and dogpilled it's unreal! Reach out whenever however and I'll probably respond?! Biiiig WOD and D&D fan!

If you're expecting your employee to fix a mistake that's costing you millions, then they deserve a very significant cut of it.

If they were being fair, they'd ask for half, which would be $9 million. But they didn't even ask for that. They asked for a raise, which would probably be a few thousand a year. And you couldn't even give them that.

This is the backstory for how Gritty adopted a new sidekick, right?

The kid throws down the gloves and Gritty picks him up and carries him off, this is beautiful, thank you for the link.

SO APPARENTLY THESE ARE DIFFERENT GAMES

The kid swinging his goalie stick (wider than normal sticks) seems to be from this one:

And you know what? Fair

being outside the uk is always jarring to me because i'm reminded that advertisements in other countries don't talk to you like you're on suicide watch

uk ads are like [woman spaeking to you very softly] we know times are tough. that's why we're here to brighten those cold mornings with a little splash of all-nautral orange juice. life's worth it for the little things

and then us ads are like [family soyjacking at a glowing jug of orange juice] ORANGE JUICE! OUR ORANGE JUICE IS GOING TO KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF [the familys socks all fly into the air][Explosion.mov]

nothing funnier to me than when AI does math wrong. like I get why it happens, it's a language model that's treating the numbers you feed it as words rather than integers and then giving you an answer based on how those words typically appear in a block of text instead of actually performing a calculation. but the one thing computers are genuinely incredible at. you fucked up a perfectly good calculator is what you did, look at it it's got hallucinations

TW: Pedophilia

Teenagers are rarely taught the reason why they can't consent to sex with adults.

And that's because teaching them that would completely unravel our coercion-based society.

It can be difficult to explain in detail the exact reason and all the specifics in a way that they will understand. But the simplest way to phrase it is that in some cases, even when someone agrees to something and even when they appear enthusiastic about it, there's too much of a power imbalance that it's no different than forcing them. Also, having power and being abusive doesn't require a conscious expectation to be obeyed.

Imagine a world in which every teenager understood that and was easily able to call out anyone who tried to convince them otherwise.

They'd know that there's no such thing as an employee consenting to working for a poverty wage, working in unsafe conditions, working long hours, or working without taking breaks. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to paying a bank overdraft fee. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to student loan debt. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to medical bills. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to generating profit for banks or landlords in order to have a place to live and being evicted or foreclosed when you lose your source of income. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to a police search. They'd know that there's no such thing as a child who's okay with their parents spanking them. They'd know that being dependent on someone does not mean that you can never criticize them. They'd know that if it's considered abusive to simply play along when someone obeys, then it has to be much more abusive to actively expect to be obeyed, which many adults do to them.

And people who benefit from a society based on coercion masquerading as freedom wouldn't like that.

So instead, teenagers are taught something dismissive. They're taught that what they want doesn't matter. They're taught that they're too young to know what love is. They're taught "it's the law". They're taught things that are insulting to their intelligence, which they'll naturally rebel against.

the idea of consuming two conflicting things that promise to do the opposite of each other has always been hilarious to me. there’s a liquid shot-based sleep aid called 6 hour sleep and as soon as I saw it i immediately imagined mixing it and a 5 hour energy together for a 1 hour nap
