I feel like it does imply that though. “tablet-fed” really does sound more severe than just using it having one around.

They still don’t get a list of items you bought. Is running a request for payment, it’s not billing a list of stuff.

I can see the alphas railing against the term “tablet-fed”. They are NOT gonna like that.

That’s gonna be what us cranky old millennials call them later while we would be yelling at them to get off our lawn. But we won’t yell that, because none of us will own any yards.

Came here to say this. Well I would’ve said Trump, but same idea.

I’d say so.

Although I still think it’s weird that “consecutive” became a requirement.

Edit: Not implying blame for OP about the requirement. But colloquially it does mean consecutive, and I think that’s a little strange. Probably a weird etymology rabbit hole to look at sometime.

That’s amazing. How do you rate the improvement in how you feel?

Regular comes can suck it. Waffle comes are so superior, and it’s not even close.

That said I prefer it when it’s filled just a little over the to of the cone. Too much more than that and I’ll probably need a bowl for safety.

With how the place I usually go fills it, it’s close every time. It’s a race to the bottom and while I sometimes lose the race, I always win. Because ice cream was involved.

I absolutely hate AI being used in any kind of production and being turned into a whole new kind of product.

But the technology figuring out how to do this on “its own” is very fascinating to me. Those Sora videos a whole back were pretty damn stunning. Just the fact that that kinda thing is even possible really does fascinate me. But the dystopia it seems to create makes it not worth it.

Well then how the hell did they get in my room?

And you very well may. But the pandemic itself made sense temporarily for delivery. But a lot of people really got into the lazy part of it.

We all need a little splurge like that now and then. But people doing it every week, or 2-3 times a week is just absolute gobsmack crazy to me.

Even pizza I typically pick up. I used to live just 5 minutes from one and still felt so lazy getting it brought to me I’d give em $5 tip anyway to help them and punish myself for the laziness. It was usually just 1 pie with the easiest (actually 5 minutes too- unless traffic was light at the time) drive and walkway situation they could ask for. The drivers must have fought for my tickets lol. Not a humongous tip, but for 5 minutes of work with the easiest workload possible and no difficulty (unless you count a 3-step to get on the porch, which I would often meet them at or tell em to leave it on there to prevent even that)

All of those help the pronunciation of the “word”. I’ve no clue what OWCA is, but for the others they didn’t change the very first letter that’s for kinda the most important in the phrase. It’s an image file, and they make it impossible to directly and verbally connect to the meaning of GRAPHICAL.

I’m not trying to fire on a hill for a pronunciation of an acronym just for my preference of g instead of j. But the absolute most important word in that phrase is graphical, and therefore the g noise absolutely has to be included and that is that for that argument. You don’t kill off the main character for some worse than Scrappy Doo schmuck.

And in what world are gif and jif better or worse sounding than each other for this to even have a point? It’s like whoever decided on making this fake j solely intended and only cared about making the meaning of it harder to figure out and less representative of its meaning.

Since this reply is about gif I’m mostly done, but as a quick point, for the other examples-

For SCUBA, I’m pretty sure it’s just pronounced wrong because fixing that would mess up the letters if they made it work by English rules (there would need to be 2 "B"s). So the argument comes down to making it an acronym or making a new word inspired by the acronym.

NASA is actually the same thing, with a pretty similar change that would be needed. (but 2 "S"s this time)

If both of these could just add a word their problems would be fixed and everyone would be happy.

CAPTCHA I’m only vaguely aware is an acronym and I’m not looking that up right now for sanity reasons (all these hills exploding in this thread giving me PTSD). So I don’t know how I feel about that one yet. But one day I’ll get curious and look at it.

Plus they’re an easy enough edit to add to regular photos. Is not like it has to be one of the other unless there’s some secret art about actually shooting in BW that makes it somehow special-er.

If you do it regularly and aren’t disabled or in some other situation that makes it necessary, I just judge you really hard. Not in a specific angle like you’ve chosen necessarily, but just as a person in general.

For just laziness reasons, it can’t be defended and that’s all these people have without the disabled reasoning. Way richer in money than brain cells clearly. What other reason could there be for regular use of it? Even just often enough to subscribe to whatever their plans are is a crazy amount of delivery orders.

Now I’m thinking I actually encountered it on YouTube music. I’ve played several but I didn’t remember any video part to them. But this one did sound vaguely familiar.

I mean you give people authority over kids and then teach them to hate the sexual part of their personality, and something’s gonna go wrong, probably way more often than it goes right.

I haven’t done any real reading on it yet, this is just a really common sense starting hypothesis. So don’t take it for more than that. But that’s my guess.

Didn’t know about this show, but I’ve listened to a good number of audio clips from him that is still just him talking. I find a quiet conversational tone is nice as sleepy audio. That and tibetan singing bowls. Sometimes a lofi stream. But preferably a conversation I’m not involved in (doesn’t even have to be in English- I’m not trying to snoop on the conversation itself, I just find certain voices soothing), if it sounds like the voices involved are communicating it hits the spot to knock me out.

I would be very ok with that.

I absolutely hate (not dislike) that “huah” vocal noise that’s commonly associated with him and think any human making that noise needs to be taken out immediately.

I’ve never heard anything about any of this but I absolutely hate him and any contract he made on society simply as a product of the horror of that noise.

I exaggerate for humor, clearly, but I really do absolutely hate that noise and do not give it a single shred of artistic respect at all, it’s flatly and out-of-hand declined any consideration for credit at all and people that like him as an artist I will literally completely discount any of their artistic opinions.

I have the same artistic hate for Elvis that I have political and personal hate for Trump.

I don’t even have a way to know exactly what it is but just hearing his voice immediately sends me into a blinding rage. It’s not to my knowledge some kinda trauma type of memory associated with it, because I was only exposed to enough of it to just recognize the voice. There are just a few things I know of that make me that angry that quickly. One of them is having to backtrack. Like realizing you forgot a critical grocery and having to go back to the store immediately, or forgetting to bring that one super important thing to work and you have to go back for it before going in. That part multiplies with any kind of time pressure.

But Elvis hits me in the same kind of spot. A randomly specific and very reactive trigger. Well I say reactive but I just end up telling at myself and increasing blood pressure for a few minutes. I don’t literally go into a fugue state and start dropping people.

All that just to say that with me he is absolutely NOT loved and the little bit I heard about some kind of drama with the Graceland estate makes me laugh myself silly because screw those people, the whole lot of them. Do fans of Elvis even care a little bit about any of the family careers? It doesn’t seem so to me, but I’m not an expert.

So when do we get to where we stop considering them human?

I wanna go to a theme park where they have trapped Nazis that we practice throwing knives at, or practice killing multiple with one grenade toss or something.

Edit: Upon further thought, I would amend the wording. Considering them human works, but universally thought of as how do the kids say it now “the worst timeline” version of humans. One to be removed. Like a literal cancer. Other than having a clear example of what the worst looks like, they serve no purpose or benefit to anyone else, and can universally be denied rights and consideration.

Clearly a bot.

Move along humans, no brain to engage with here. Let them sit in their ignorance while the real people get on with things.
