Cats, and apparently capybaras are an invasive species on social media. I don't hate them or anything but they show up everywhere in places they have new business being.

Saw a post on the Canada community and basically was just talking about how this guy is Joe and it would be good if he was replaced by someone like Harris and even better if it was someone like AOC. I've seen similar stuff on the Aussie communities. It's interesting that American politics is so well known it's easier to convey information about local politics as analogies to American politics

It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology's problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

When we get too involved in online matters, disconnecting from the internet and getting a hold of the real world is an analogy to the Greek Philosoper's work

Just thinking, is the art style only symbolic of the universe or is everything actually like that in-universe?

Actually this would be a neat mechanic in-game: everyone around you nopes the fuck out at the sight of you, especially if you killed them previously.

They don't know and they don't understand, but things are very firmly Not Ok.

Partly the cost of failure, possibly a strategic tool.

He might have run in 4 years. But assuming he doesn't want to run against an incumbent, he'll have to wait 8.

That "uncensored" HuggingFace Space probably isn't even hooked up to a real GPU. It's just some guy named Bob eager to narrate your sexual fantasies.

A single mildly bumpy ride won't turn you into an NFL domestic abuser, but over the course of 20+ years? And if you were on horses or in rickety carts from the time you were a squishy infant? Boom, curdled grey matter.

No horses = no war, no murder, just pure enlightenment and peace on Earth.

Beware the horse 👀

Humans are bi-pedal animals who walk extensively over long distances. However our feet are soft and not well suited to the task. However dogs, monkeys, and other animals have paws that serve as shoes to protect the feet.

No other mammal has such unprotected - but we are known for walking the farthest distances / nomadic behavior. Is this a joke?

I want paw feet instead of shoes.

I have an acquaintance that is having their life ended next month due to constant medical suffering and just had this morbid thought. Care Now could have a spinoff business called Death Now.
