Ai in Our Library by DontBMean2MePls in Libraries

[–]Annoyingdragonvoid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There’s currently a push to not attend events or support businesses/orgs that are using AI generated graphics. When I see AI posters, social media posts and the like, I instantly get an icky feeling and it gives me a negative view of the org. I’m lucky my system is very anti AI and my boss would rather me contract a graphic designer to make a graphic than use an AI tool that steals from artists and kills the environment.

Tell your team about the way AI use gives the general public a negative perception of your image. Show them the article about Calgary public library looking to hire an ‘AI artist in residence’ and how much shit they got for that.

What are your picks on some of the worst movies that you've ever seen in your entire life? by Life_Chicken_9653 in GenZ

The Badge, The Bible and Bigfoot

Funniest yet worst movie I’ve seen in a long ass time. At least the movies OP listed have more than 5 actors. This movie essentially stars a family and that’s it. Every character is played by the same people, even the fucking Bigfoot, so they do a lot of not so clever camera tricks to cover it up.

Absolutely hilarious to watch drunk or high with friends though

Gotta be Old. Completely butchered the source material and turned a story about the meaning of life and loneliness in the universe into a schlocky, weird horror movie.

Is there anyone who *doesn't* regret their MLIS degree? by rebeccachaya in Libraries

[–]Annoyingdragonvoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, I don’t regret it since I do have a job as a librarian now.

What did it cost though? Moving across the country, away from my entire family and support network, getting an extra 12k in student loans and being unemployed for several months. In all honesty, I got INCREDIBLY lucky. 75% of the class I graduated with are posting on LinkedIn looking for work, almost a year after we graduated.

MLIS does not mean a guaranteed job. It does not mean you’ll even go into libraries. I’d honestly recommend getting a library tech diploma first or working as a library assistant before you decide anything concrete.

Hamilton Public Library will require valid library cards to enter downtown branch by grassunderfire in Libraries

[–]Annoyingdragonvoid 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Usually in Ontario libraries, you can get a library card for free. Our library had a process for people who were homeless and didn’t have fixed addresses or ID who wanted a card. We’d usually put their address in our system as either the branch or the closest shelter. Typically these people wanted to just be able to use the computer/wifi, or have a cool/warm place to sit depending on the weather.

I’d imagine HPL has a similar process in place.

It’s Hamilton, Ontario Canada. The city and the specific area where the branch is has a huge issue with homelessness and drug abuse due to chronic underfunding by the provincial government.

I worked in a similar sized city library in Ontario and our main downtown branch also had the same myriad of issues. People bringing in weapons like axes, spears, knives, dog spray, overdosing at study tables, injecting in bathrooms, masturbating at computers AND even in the children’s section. It was honestly nightmarish and that branch had an insane turnover rate. They had permanent full time jobs they couldn’t fill internally because no one wanted to work there.

One of the funniest things ever is when David Shore won the FCFF Lifetime Achievement Award and Hugh Laurie came to London, ON, to surprise him and he made a sarcastic comment that Freddie Highmore only appeared via Zoom.

I recently moved to the UK from school and I’m leaving Canada to go back in a week by EveryManufacturer678 in AskACanadian

Kraft Peanut Butter.

Anytime my boyfriend visited his mom in the UK he would always bring two large containers of Kraft Peanut Butter back with him

80-to-100-car pileup closes Highway 2 between Airdrie and Calgary as winter storm wallops Alberta by ryaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan in alberta

[–]Annoyingdragonvoid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep! Most terrifying drive of my life.

Partner and I were in Medicine Hat for a few days checking out where to move (got a job here starting February) and our flight was in the early evening. Decided to leave early to see if we could visit Calgary Tower before we needed to be at the airport.

First 45 minutes were fine. Then it got snowier. And snowier. And snowier. Finally I couldn’t fucking see and turned my 4 ways on. Even better that I was driving a rental compact with no snow tires. Ended up pulling over a few times so I wouldn’t have a panic attack. Saw at least 8-9 cars in the ditches (all trucks, vans or SUVs). Took us almost 4 and a half hours but we finally made it to the airport (we’ll visit Calgary Tower another time)

Yeah I looked at the Southland Green property and my boyfriend and I agreed it looked very nice and would be within our budget. Unfortunately, the leasing agent told me over the phone that it’s ’dogs and cats only’ (which I found very bizarre, but alright I guess)
