This was probably the first time I've done a sealed pre-release where I wished it at least wasn't seeded. Felt bad getting "off-color" rares that unworkable with the seeded school

anyone who knew someone with pancreatic cancer knows how big of a deal this is
I keep screaming this
Please don’t fall for it California, Uber already fucked us once with Prop 22
Cis people who did some thinking before coming out to themselves as cis tend to be some of the most reliable, honourable and secure people I’ve ever known.
what if I told you that advertising firms and propaganda networks have understood this for years and are using networked accounts to flood Reddit with content so that AI's will regurgitate it as truth
When people steal thousands of dollars from their bosses, they're prosecuted.
Reminder that there is empirical research to prove the “when the person speaking was 12” point. It’s called Reminiscence Bump and it’s literally from ages 12-14. psycnet.apa.org/record/2017-...
Three panel comic. Panel 1: scene from the movie Aliens; Ripley is in a mech suit and delivers her iconic line: “get away from her, you bitch!” Panel 2: the xenomorph queen lunges at Ripley in the robotic suit and they engage in a fight. Panel 3: later, the xenomorph queen is standing in the shower, mid wash. She says, “‘it takes one to know one, honey.’ That’s what I should have said.”
A reminder that trans people's 'demands' were 'can we have healthcare that doesn't take 20 years?' and 'can we change our documents easier!?'
That's it.
And we didn't even ask very loudly.
In response, the UK has decided to take all our rights away.
Counterpoint: I use em dashes with abandon and will not let "AI" steal them from me. I was overusing them first and will continue to do so long after "AI" is a crater in our financial system, or our merciless overlords, or both
BLUESKY IS A WEBSITE THAT TURNS (post by jay.bsky.team claiming that bluesky is made with AI) INTO (picture of bluesky not working)
Hey fyi way too many, even leftists who should know better, effusively praising the papacy is making it way, way more difficult to organize against this.
This trans healthcare ban is literally going to cost trans people's lives but yeah, woke pope made a statement or whatever.
Dignified segregation 😌 famously all trans people want is their own segregation

First, I think people underestimate how many so-called felons we have in this country. The total population of people with a felony conviction in the US is larger than the population of Wisconsin. That's literally millions of people.
Incredible thread about felonies and crimimnalization of poverty. 🧵

Trans people: Expect better from your partners. You deserve to be treated with respect and kindness. Do not accept conditions on when/if they will correctly gender you or use your chosen name. Do not allow them to dictate when you can or can't be out or presenting as yourself. You deserve better.
The fact is it’s impossible to exist in this world the way that we want to. If we boycott every company that’s bad for the world or for us our options require massive amounts of research to find and are narrowed to a handful
*none of this is advocacy for not trying, it’s simply a statement of fact
This gets to me all the time.
I have a friend who stresses about this a lot and I try to tell them to just do the best they can. When you’re at the point of driving an extra 20mi and pulling your hair out to shop at the slightly less bad big corpo… just order on Amazon, it’s gonna be ok, babe
This story is horrific. Worth noting that Target is not the only retailer using AI for theft prevention. It’s an entire industry. And if you’re looking for alternatives that are safer to shop at in this regard, you’re very likely out of luck. Small, non-corporate businesses probably your best bet.
This is horrible. If you weren’t sure about avoiding target, this is another good reason to never go there again
We found out several things during the wait. 1) target uses AI for theft prevention which often falsely targets people. 2) they purposly don't notify you if you don't scan all items in a self checkout lane. 3) if u hit the ok button on the self checkout and you miss an item they say thats stealing
free speech is when you're free to shut up and sit there while i give a speech
no literally the way they want to kill us dawg
Constantly having to write letters to the government explaining that some LGBT asylum seekers are also Christian and the fact they believe in God doesn't mean that they're lying about their sexuality, and so they really cannot be sent back to countries with The Death Penalty for homosexuality.
