Spitballing here but I suspect a lot of things are owned by a family trust instead of specific people.

Yep. I’m not the type to get tattoos but if I was I could do a whooooole lot worse than visiting the tattoo artist who did this one.

This is a good example of horrible taste but pretty good execution

I don’t think Mary Sue or Gary Stu characters are intrinsically bad. Provided that the work is honest about it.

I prefer characters who have realistic strengths and weaknesses, and who face credible tests in the plot, which they aren’t guaranteed to pass. I like characters who fail from time to time.

I do sometimes want some escapism and such, so I’m glad Mary Sue and Gary Stu types still exist.

I use Voyager.

When I see people posting stuff I don’t want to see but can’t otherwise easily filter (based off link domain or keyword in post title or community name), I will downvote. Once I see a user account with enough net downvotes, that’s a cue for me to consider blocking them.

This works sorta well for me, but someone else’s experience may vary.

Aw shit, last pic I took was of a payphone

If Microsoft wants people to use its AI product, they’d be better off making it useful instead of making it more invasive and annoying than pop up and interstitial pause screen ads.

Option 2 so i can at least see

• take professional development on my employer’s budget
• bring a book
• don’t be afraid to take slightly longer than usual lunches for errands or for exercise or whatevs
• if monitoring is lax enough, and there’s unmonitored guest wifi, bring your personal laptop and play some vidya

I prefer spinach that I’ve sautéed with a bit of garlic and some olive oil.

Ah, the ol’ David Carradine

You can teleport, with these restrictions:

• Only between just inside front entrance of your residence and just inside front entrance of your workplace
• Cooldown on using it is 4 hours
• You can only take yourself, clothes you’re wearing, and whatever you can fit into a modestly sized backpack, laptop bag, or messenger bag
• You can’t take a coworker, partner, child, pet, or neighborhood crow with you
• If there is a valid warrant for your arrest, teleportation no longer works

None of us is as stupid as all of us.
