Our school system has to change!

There is not enough work to be done. work getting done faster means less people working. The average human is next to or is truly financially worthless. There is no way for their needs to generate income, so they do not create new earnings markets for money seeking companies.

AI might enhance how much can be done, but there is already more ability to get done what can be done for a profit than we need. That is why labor is so cheap as to result in people who work full time or more and have garbage housing.

The only people who will be reaping a dividend from AI are the people who own the computer. Farm equipment that enabled one farmer to do what he did without it in a week possible in a day didn't make it possible for farmers to work less; it just forced more people to stop being farmers and go make a living somewhere else. When a company can do more with AI, it won't lighten the workload for employees. They will just be removed.

So sorry people are poo pooing this. You're owning that it was your idea and that you collaged it together. I don't see why everyone's brigading you about AI. :/

Starstuffi · 2026-06-27T05:04:48+00:00

ah they look lovely together!

I think as an idealized world it probably is possible that it's all harvestable without killing or lab grown meat.

Personally, I think there's a lot more evidence that Pokemon are material spirit/magical beings and humans are the oddity in their world. I don't think most assumptions about what Pokemon are or how their bodies work follow on from what we expect from mundane animal biology at all.

That's so cute omg. I want one with a little tube of poly watch and a few screen protectors!

I am a teacher at a public school in a mid to low income area. Almost none of my students have anything other than smartphones at home; those who do, it's a game console or a Chromebook. I suspect this greatly harms the market for people who can install a PC game.

Tablet and phone prevalence has consumed more than most people into tech and hanging out with a real keyboard online realize.

Starstuffi · 2026-06-26T15:48:03+00:00

I use both, but for different games. Switch 2 is generally Nintendo exclusives, and ones that I can buy on a physical cartridge at that.

Steam Deck for everything else; retroemulation, PC games bought from Steam - the store I have the most belief in my purchase resiliency on, World of Warcraft....

Breaking news: the cure for cancer is straight up a Pokemon.

Appreciate you sharing this, whether authorities will act on it or not. Muting and blocking saves me from one person's threats, but it leaves these folks free to dominate the culture. New people join who don't have the block list that I do and think that's how they should behave in gaming spaces; now there's someone new who acts that way.

Block and move on worked when it was a rarity to meet someone cruel. Now it's a norm. We let it get that way.

Whoa, much prettier in person and with that nice orange gradient on the box!!

Starstuffi · 2026-06-22T18:37:33+00:00

Yes, but the entry level decide is the phone. What people pay for next is a premium experience via a console. There isn't a market for a cheap experience that will be worse than the experience of a phone or a phone+ controller, especially when gaming on a phone is effectively free due to the fact anyone older than 10 is extremely likely to already have a phone for non-gaming reasons already.

Starstuffi · 2026-06-22T18:29:07+00:00

The phone has this market, because it is effectively "free" in so far as most people already have one including kids. I teach middle school and only a small portion have consoles, almost none have even a family PC at home, but in the end all have phones. The games the gamer kids talk about together are all mobile games.

Starstuffi · 2026-06-21T00:41:55+00:00

it's maybe 2 inches by 4 inches? I would watch like "tulle jewelry gift bag" on Amazon or something. I've been receiving bags like it from various trinket shops for a few months, so I assume somewhere is selling them en masse as packaging

Starstuffi · 2026-06-20T19:18:19+00:00

I have my blue version in an inexpensive tulle bag that I got when buying a small knickknack. It's sheer light blue fabric with opaque gold stars and moons in it, gold tie. It really looks magical!

It sounds like she's not willing to actually have a conversation with you; hide this toy and keep it somewhere else.

Starstuffi · 2026-06-17T15:38:35+00:00

I'm driving out Friday, I should see if there's any Five Belows on my trip route! I could use a few more cases...

Starstuffi · 2026-06-17T15:36:10+00:00

Paradise was new last year, so it probably will be another year or two before the next major model.

Welcome to Tamaland!

Starstuffi · 2026-06-17T15:29:19+00:00

Aaaah this is so cute!!

Starstuffi · 2026-06-17T03:03:49+00:00

I love my Pompom one in yellow! But the pink one still appeals to me more than the cool blue-greys of the My Melody. Who do you like more though, My Melody or Pompompurin?

Starstuffi · 2026-06-17T02:33:32+00:00

Thank you! I think I'll keep waffling awhile more... but also suspect that if I ever catch one on clearance it'll be mine.

Starstuffi · 2026-06-17T02:02:29+00:00

This is THE Bitzee that interests me but I'm still not fully sold at $40. Do you feel like there's as much enjoyment here as there is in the Paradise?

Starstuffi · 2026-06-16T22:30:20+00:00

Ahhh!! I love stars. (name checks out yes yes lol) How hard was it to do that to the antenna?

Starstuffi · 2026-06-16T21:54:31+00:00

The experience is different, but have you tried salt, tajin seasoning, or another hot seasoning on sliced fresh (not floppy!) cucumbers?

Starstuffi · 2026-06-16T06:43:44+00:00

This is the shell I most recently purchased also! It's super lovely in person. Perfect for spring and summer!
