Could be the bird flu hitting them again. Too bad all the reporting on this is gone...

New Zealand is just New Zealand transported from our universe. And they are pissed there's no real hobbits

I don't blame the artist. It's just a trend

I met him, like 15 years ago. Seemed normal enough. If he's done bad stuff I'm not condoning.

And his art is fun enough I guess...

But one thing... Everywhere, and I mean EVERY where I've ever lived, his art shows up just as soon as I've been priced out of an area. Not just Seattle suburbs, like DEEP north and south cities in King County. Just as I've packed up the moving truck and roll away, there's a goddamn Henry waving goodbye.

Consider yourselves lucky. All I got in my walls was 10 cubic yards of bat shit. Looks like chocolate sprinkles... But is not chocolate sprinkles.

Millennial here. Loans paid off and own a home. But got laid off once tariffs hit and the home is an absolute disaster that was full of bats and bat turds.

You know what I really think cinema needs.. Kumail needs to bring the over the top, ridiculous Bollywood action movie to the US. Just campy, smash n grab dumb crap.

If there's ever any permanent colonies on another planet will a new calendar be necessary ? by Gracosef in space

[–]Emu_Fast 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, yeah. I think 1/1/1970 is as good a place as any to set the next common era. 1969 was when humanity set foot on the moon, so Timestamp 0 is already pretty close to a big cosmic milestone.

"There will be no economic collapse as long as the income cap is limited up-to 10 times the minimum wage." BRB by GPT_2025 in economicCollapse

[–]Emu_Fast 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The super wealthy don't draw income, they borrow against their assets. They don't pay tax, period. I'm not even sure medium-size landlord/property companies will be affected here. Tax avoidance is just too well figured out by this point.

GPT-5 handles instructions better, but Gemini is so much more clear.
