If I wasn’t hungry before, I’m certainly not hungry now.

They did (in the US). Bain Capital bled them dry and then sold off the scraps. There have been a few attempts to revive the brand but to my knowledge nothing has stuck yet.

A curious choice of fondue

At least as happy as Ceres. People non-nerds still remember Pluto.

There’s actually a third circle, “Things That Earn Money,” about 60,000 pixels to the right.

A lot of folks on here want to worry about how their computer is working. This is very time consuming and can be pretty frustrating to manage on your own.

Add 25 years of IT work, and I now have zero interest in doing computer stuff as a hobby anymore. I used to love tinkering. Had multi-boot systems, spun up VMs just because I could, turned a minitower into a JBOD SCSI enclosure, etc. Now I just want stuff to work without fucking with it. That used to be Apple… and while they’ve gotten away from that a fair amount it’s still head and shoulders above Microsoft and Google.

If big tech gets awful enough that I have to consider brushing up on Linux, I might as well just fuck off into the woods and see if I can make friends with some raccoons or something. I’m tired, man.

If only.

This is exactly it. But it doesn’t fit on a hat or bumper sticker so the details get ignored.

None of what I posted claimed to prove or disprove anything. You keep saying there’s room. Of course there is. We’ve made room. It just remains *conspicuously empty.

Very logical. Wonder why he hasn’t stopped by to reverse the ban since the invention of refrigeration, or at least clarify the rule as just meaning to keep people safe?

“Hey guys, thanks for all the likes and subscribes over the years. Good to see you! Just wanted to give a shout-out to my man Leviticus. We knew, back in the day, that y’all weren’t ready for the whole “microbe” thing, so we wanted to just kinda steer folks away from stuff that could hurt them. But man, you guys have been busy since then! You figured all this shit out! I’m proud of you, I really am. Or at least I would be if I was allowed, am I right?”

“So yeah, now that it’s mostly safe to eat that stuff, go right ahead. Watch out for buffets though… if they can afford to feed your uncle Charlie for five shekels they have to be cutting corners somewhere. Anyways, I gotta go so I will talk to you later. Be safe! Love, peace, and all that jazz!”

crowd cheers

“Oh, one more thing. If you could stop killing one another in my name that’d be great. It’s super un-cool. But hey, free will and all. I won’t stop you. Until next time!”

fanfare over credit roll

There’s room for both science and god.

I mean… whenever he’s ready.

Ok cool, thanks for checking.

It’s not just lemm.ee. I’ve been getting this behavior for awhile now. Workaround is to save the image via long press (since share treats it as a file) and then share it from the photo roll.

I actually meant to start a thread last night but got sidetracked.

I coasted through elementary school and ran up against undiagnosed autism, ADHD, and GAD (it was the 80s and I wasn’t disruptive) once homework started getting real. Had no problem learning the material, aced the tests, struggled with homework and writing assignments. “Not working up to his potential” became “lazy.” I took myself out of the gifted classes in middle school and bailed on “college prep” classes in my sophomore year. By the time I graduated I had failed English three times and wanted nothing to do with college and its endless papers I’d never write. Went to tech school for IT/electronics and did field service work for a bit before getting burned out and laid off. Landed in corporate IT and got real intimate with depression. 25 years later I’m still trying to recover from a lifetime of fighting uphill on hard mode against AuDHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and the resulting burnout, keenly aware of my shortcomings the entire time while simultaneously fostering a deep seated contempt for the orphan crushing machines that define modern life.

My life would have been a whole lot easier if I had only been sociopathic.

I really do hope we get some level of self-sustaining sapient AI like Skynet to be made

We are going to have to trudge through Multiplicity before we reach Skynet.
