That's so dark. Someone insisted on paying me for a small bag of chips and it was so weird. Like, I get it sometimes, but people rejecting gifts of food or settling up for things that, idk, i guess i just don't think of as "debts", just feels weird.

I'd ask a seasoned logi if you can ride along with them to learn the ropes. Logi is usually cool about things like that.

I needed a t-handle reamer last night so i made one out of a piece of wood and a nail.

I remember a super awful website that reviewed the absolute worst malt liquor, from first horrible sip to an consideration of the hangover. But it was really mean.

Dasha is a bad person and she should go on a journey of self discovery and become a good person.

Kind of gratifying seeing him go mask off and it's like oh so the whole "no we're not actually named after a protofascist organization because reasons" thing was bs.

Idk how people can just not have convictions like that.

Another banger from wombat. Possibly our most consistent post gooder poster.

Can you get the soles repaired at a shoe shop?

At least once i've cut the heel off a shoe with a real sharp knife, sanded it flat, and glued a new chunk of rubber til I could replace it. It's not ideal bc if you don't get it right it'll mess up your gait tho

Legit mutual aid tow-truck could be a good thing. Idk how it'd work at all but towing is so expensive.

People who can do simultaenious translation like for the un are straight up wizards. That's magic. It's occult knowledge. I don't know how they do it but i am certain it involves lots of candles and wearing robes.

I think folks have the idea that all language tasks are the same task but they really are all quite distinct. Reading, writing, speaking, listening, interpretting, transliteration, all of them are distinct tasks that require practice and people have more or less aptitude for.

It's scary that people don't know it just assembles sequences of plausible words and has no awareness of what it's saying and no ability to evaluate what is true or real. Folks really think it's an ai and not fancy madlibs.
