The automated self censorship is ridiculous. Even more so because apparently "dick" is haram but "dyke" is halal. image

Saved myself quite a few hours of labor by writing a bash script to reorganize thousands of files in a way that they could be loaded onto a finicky digital photo frame. Saved myself even more time by having GPT write the script in 10 seconds. Sometimes I can't imagine how frustrating it would be to be a non-technical normie.

Canadian crypto influencer Kevin Mirshahi was murdered last year, but we didn't have confirmation on the motivation until just now. One of the attackers admitted he succumbed to injuries sustained while being tortured & demanding to access his wallet.

Wire transfers are fucking retarded. Wasted half an hour filling out a wire transfer form many times, kept getting a generic "INVALID BANK INFORMATION" error. After a ton of trial and error I determined that the form was being rejected because they couldn't handle the fact that my bank has an apostrophe in its name. Validating a Bitcoin address is orders of magnitude simpler...

Just bought a personal EKG device for no reason other than it happened to cost the exact amount I had remaining in my FSA for 2025.

As someone who practically never visits fast food restaurants, perhaps I'm behind the times... I was at one this week and noticed they are using AI to handle drive-through window orders. And it even had automatic upselling built in!

One might expect that, on average, a male masseuse might give a better massage due to having a strength advantage. In my experience, females tend to give stronger and deeper massages. Perhaps because it's more about technique rather than strength? Anyone else have experience with this?

That thing where you're traveling and unfamiliar with the coffee machine and set it up a millimeter off and end up with coffee all over the counter because it's too early for this shit.

A few months ago I rented a Ferrari on Turo but ended up getting a Corvette because the convertible top was broken by a previous renter. Today I rented a BMW i8 but ended up getting a Corvette because the previous renter smoked weed in the i8. I'm sensing a pattern. Also it's ridiculous that I couldn't simply accept the stinky i8. I told them I had already driven a Corvette and wanted something different 😑

I'm currently at a 50% failure rate renting on Turo due to previous renters trashing the car and the owner not being able to fix it in time for my pick-up. 😡

Pretty sure it's God's sense of humor that I only ever see Chik-fil-A and have a desire to eat it on Sundays.
