i barely care what humans think about my sentences so imagine my reaction to the robot seeking to "improve" them
I never understood how people could believe customer service is low-skill work bc I just saw a 20-year-old fast casual manager talk a ragey old man down and it was a fucking masterclass in patience and grace

my library app just let me know a book I have been waiting on for months is ready to check out and I yelled “fuck yeah” in response, in case you were wondering exactly how cool of a person I am

how many of our lives did erowid save???
turns out you do need a friend to tell you that trying to robo-trip on adderall is both counterproductive and a bad idea
this is the problem with learning how to do drugs from internet strangers. you're supposed to learn how to do drugs from the nice ex-con dishwasher at your first restaurant job.
we are losing original recipes.

FROM FARM TO MF STORE
this is perhaps not groundbreaking if you don't live within 300 miles of the braum's dairy in tuttle, oklahoma, which produces the world's most elite chocolate milk, but boy it really perked up my wednesday
i'm really upset that i just figured out today that i can simply buy chocolate milk and put a shot (or two) of espresso in there
subscribe to ravenous and @shokdiesel.bsky.social will voluntarily consume legal poison! it's a win-win!
this does not stop creeps from hitting on you, but it will help offer some plausible deniability if everyone knows you're a humorless bitch
this is a great read and also why my philosophy is to simply never be nice or friendly
i didn't know this existed and you are sure right!!!

A graphic that has the title of “Our Ethics | AI” and below reads: “We will never use generative AI to write our stories or create our visual or audio content. We also will never use our or our freelancers' work to train generative AI.”
Big media won’t make this promise, but Ravenous will. We guarantee that we will never publish anything made with generative AI — no articles written with ChatGPT, no uncanny art with seven fingers. We actually speak with people and taste their dishes, write our own work, and value human creativity.
"I was angry and sad. Over my career I’ve fielded various coded mandates to tone it down; there’s still fear of a big brown planet. But you know what? Fuck that — anger can be power if you know how to use it."
that's right @shokdiesel.bsky.social
