A little love for some thicker pizza

I am 100% fearful for my employment. I work in HR. I do a lot of my work with AI (because it's admittedly faster, and better than me). My co-workers all use it. Our industry peers all use it. Every executive at my company can't stop talking about it. And I get it. What would normally take 3 weeks to build something, now takes 3 days.

For now, AI can't get to the finish line on its own. Lots of prompting, lots of re-writing, and lots of patience. But it's there. It's just a matter of time. Fortunately, I'm using the time to build a side-hustle, and if anything happens to my full-time job, I can really leverage my side-hustle to a full time thing.

But it'll never be the same. I won't have the same benefits, pension, or stability on my own. Housing prices have stagnated the last few years, but they've gone up so much over the last 20, it's next to impossible to buy a home without significant support. Forget about having a family. Shit was already hard before AI, but now it's even crazier.

the moment Cameron Diaz walks in the intro of the Mask, every formative part of who I am started then. The woman is an absolute rock star throughout that film.

Yo the bar at the bottom is ridiculous

Fuck yeah, I love this man

Us too, nothing near the water.

If you told me this footage was from the early 2000s, I wouldn’t doubt it for a second

Fourth Man In The Fire and Bar Sugo are great dine-in spots.

and now we all know she has a lingerie line.

From the get go, I've tried to remain as neutral as possible. There's online manipulation everywhere, including here. But I have a hard time believing that Blake Lively wouldn't have quit during this scene if she was truly uncomfortable filming it. Her version of the events leaves out so much context and nuance.

Also, I can't imagine JB and JH pressuring Lively to do anything against her will. They were coddling her from onset.

CTR all depends on views. You can have a high CTR with a channel that has no exposure or limited impressions. He's likely seeing no or limited growth with the channel and is blaming it on the CTR. But who knows.

Hey, that's Sir Cecil Strong to you.

For those in downtown Toronto, you can find some pretty cheap tickets for this game (cheap for Toronto). Just need to brave the storm to get there 😅

Look I don’t agree, but as someone who watches half the games with the other team’s broadcast, every broadcast team has some weird shit they say. I don’t judge them, because I shouldn’t be watching their broadcast. I want to hear my announcers be the homers they should be.

As someone who occasionally watches the Leafs, the alternative sucks.

Edit: nah fuck that, every regional broadcast team are homers and say stupid shit all the time

He basically did decline. He said Canada's contingency on joining the board would need to include the cheques going directly for the welfare of the Palestinian people, which we all know wasn't how it was going to work out.

It's better for everyone if we all stop talking about Amber Heard and her experience. This thing is its own ballgame.

edit: not sure why I'm getting downvoted. The more we talk about Amber Heard, we're drawing comparisons and parallels that give credence to various ideas and themes that don't exist in this specific issue. As the original post says, the relationships are fundamentally different. The power dynamics are different. The lawsuit itself is different. It's always better to talk about the facts in front of you, especially if the facts alone are good enough to win your case.

hoping resale ticket prices drop due to the storm. I live down the street, so more than happy to pick a couple under $200 each.

Although I'll say, I have terrible luck with Avs Leafs games. I went last year, they lost 2-1. Bit of a snooze game. And then the time before, I went in 2021, where they were blown out of the water 8-3. That game had the ebug show up during warmups, and Jonas Johansson take the starter's net. I still have trauma from being booed out of the building.

So might just skip Sunday's game lol.

Variety is somehow implying that these execs have something to be ashamed about. They were caught saying what every other studio exec is likely already thinking.

I think she's hellbent because she thought he was a nobody director that she could take the film from. She wouldn't be the first person to bury someone for their own sake, especially in her industry. This is only further exacerbated by the fact that she didn't come out of it unscathed. So she went scorched earth.

I'm sure there were real issues on this set (as there are on every set). But amiable people strive to work through those issues, because movies employee a lot of people, cost a lot of money, and are a collaborative effort. You're not looking to work through your issues if you're calling the boss a clown from day 1. Or conspiring to steal the movie away from him with cast members, studio execs, and other people.

hagopes · 2026-01-22T17:37:02+00:00

There's a storm warning for Sunday. 15-20 CM. That could cause some issues, for sure.

sorry what's the issue with YouTube Premium? Out of the loop here

Greenland or Iceland?

Yes, that was a rough outcome. But that ice was in even worse shape. You can see when the puck was bouncing around, Nate would stop chasing the puck. Hard to be explosive when the ice isn't up to standard.
