My roommate does this with their cat. Now whenever anyone operates a can opener the cat comes running and MEOWS, even though in my case it's never tuna.

No kitty, you don't want my black beans. Stop.

I think Spanish Inquisition is still appropriate because nobody expects it.

She has some absolutely wild takes.

... That's not the lyrics?

:O

Might be the real reason the Uber driver bright it to work, seems like an okay job if you're someone who fosters orphaned kittens.

Sounds like the Texas of Canada.

Idiocracy was optimistic

Sure. But it's harder to ignore for the mod team who has worked closely with him for several years now and presumably don't completely hate him. I'm not saying it's a good reason, but that it may have factored into the disappointing non-action we saw.

Nah, I think Serinus' reply to Eugene V. Debs' Ghost that they posted elsewhere is hinting at what's going on here. I think Jordan is doing a enormous amount of moderation work on World - his work as a mod seems to be a huge part of his identity at this point and the health issues he's been open about seem to make it so he physically can't do much so I would guess he spends most of his days modding. That's a lot of volunteer labor (with 99% of his actions likely being entirely reasonable internet janitor stuff) and I think what happened is the rest of the LW mods took a hard look at what moderating without him would look like and they would have to expand the mod team a lot (which comes with it's own significant issues and work vetting people). And it would be devastating to JL himself, and while I think he's a terrible mod, I don't hold much animosity towards him as a person.

I get why OP nuked his account, but the fact that JL's defense of the transphobia got removed for transphobia is pretty hilarious, ngl. I called it out but didn't report it, props to whoever did though.

slinky cat!

Not to say Fort Wayne, and Indiana as a whole, don't suck, but I suspect that's a satire account.

Zootopia was a mess. I finally got around to watching it at the beginning of last month and I think the message it was aiming for was a good one but the execution was messy. Spoilers ahead. It does a pretty good job of establishing that there's systemic prejudice against prey species in their setting, then plot happens and one of the oppressed folks does something horrific to the oppressors and briefly manages to flip the oppression and since the predators experienced systemic oppression they... Uh... realized it was bad? Or did the ending just end up at a slightly less shitty return to the original status quo with lessons learned by a few of the main characters?

I also may have had a certain real world event fresh in my mind that definitely didn't help.

I don't see the red head, it doesn't look like a juvenile, and something about the body shape seems off for a sandhill crane - I'm not sure what it actually is though. Also I'm a lot more familiar with the Florida sandhill crane and those are somewhat different (and seemingly more common, I've not seen one since I moved to the Midwest).

I've done some stuff through Appen before, it's AI training projects mostly, it's not well paid and the projects I've been on became a slog after a few weeks but it's work from home and you don't really have a boss. You're just expected to do your x hours of work on your project(s) per week.

I just did a bit of searching and apparently they lost their contact with Google and they got a lot of people during the pandemic (some have stuck around) so maybe not viable anymore.

Somehow this is the second time in an hour I've seen a reference to this news story, how? Do we have similar YouTube algorithms or something?

Yup, Idaho stop, my state just legalized it this year and Colorado, where this seems to be, also has it. I just copied the title of the original post and I interpreted it as sarcastic anyway.

Was?

Commenting to remind myself to cross post this to !micromobility@lemmy.world

Valencia College is a community college in Central Florida (they offer some four year degrees now so they dropped "community" from the name). So that might not actually be AI'd.

Edit: I used to be part of the Orlando furry community, I wonder if I know the person driving this Tesla?
