Employees: We like working in the same homes where we sleep. There's no commute, it's very convenient.

Google: Nah we need you back in the office. But we built hotel rooms here so you can still sleep in the same place you work and there's no commute.

Employees: Uh yeah that's what we already had...

Google: That'll be $99. Which you pay us. To trap you in the office we demanded you come back to.

Just added 2 pizzas to a doordash cart for pizza and movie night for my family of 4.

Between the price of the pizzas, delivery fees, taxes, convenience fees, and dasher tip, the total was $80.

80 bucks for 2 pizzas to be delivered. Pizza. The cheap food famous for delivery.

This is fucking crazy, I don't understand how people are surviving this bullshit.

Right now if you search for "country in Africa that starts with the letter K":

• DuckDuckGo will link to an alphabetical list of countries in Africa which includes Kenya.

• Google, as the first hit, links to a ChatGPT transcript where it claims that there are none, and summarizes to say the same.

This is because ChatGPT at some point ingested this popular joke:

"There are no countries in Africa that start with K."
"What about Kenya?"
"Kenya suck deez nuts?"

Google Search is over.

I think I'd be questioning my life choices if I was part of a profession that people loathe so much that a video of someone getting horrifically bodied by a metal slide elicits absolutely zero sympathy just because the person in it is also a member of that profession.

Threads isn't real for me until there's a Web UI and a (free) API I can use to post with in order to leverage my various automations.

Until then it's just kind of a novel curiosity. Neither of these things seem to be much of a priority but I am enjoying watching Twitter implode because other people are using it.
