I Suck At Tech

i normally don't post things like this, but i saw this sweet boy and i can’t stop thinking about him.

jax is currently in a kill shelter in minsk and the tierhilfe belarus (link 1 / link 2) is trying to help him and others.

jax urgently needs a home.

jax is:

male

around 2–3 years old

shy, but allows touch

good with other cats

if anyone in germany is willing to adopt a cat, please consider jax.

contact: [email protected]

please contact them, let them know you're interested. they will take care of vaccinations, castration, and transport. there is a fee.

i'm willing to help with costs if there is true interest in adopting him. i just want him to be safe.

OpenAI scraped the entire web. All of which had been a labor of love from humans. Wikipedia is the backbone of a lot of LLMs, and that was volunteer human labor. They stole it and now they're selling it back to us.

"Too many blue collar workers don't get it.

OSHA isn't there to tell YOU how to do your job, though I recognize it feels that way.

OSHA is there to stop your BOSS from firing you if you refuse unsafe work.

Your ability to say 'I'm not stepping foot in that death trap without proper safety equipment' is guarded by OSHA.

It protects your life and your paycheck."

Some more of other peoples ocs lol.

Rudo, Fridu, Sohrab, Prax, and Jora belong to @catella-ars !! Hope you don’t mind some headcanons I like thinking about their lives. Rudo’s little red squiggle up there is a Rox-signal mimic; as an engineer/higher class he’s likely been courted by Arches before so he knows what a “I’m interested in you want to be in my bug polycule” scent is like. From Sohrab’s view, being kicked out of an oppressive and physically exhausting military setting is a good thing for Prax, from Prax’s view their birth unit no longer gets any benefits from their soldier status, they had to leave the only thing that gave them meaning/their perceived biological purpose, and also had to leave everyone they knew and cared about because they couldn’t keep up. Jora’s little horn split would be majorly confusing to Drecu (who aren’t good at picking up on Sundyne pheremones that make Sundyne m/f and reproductive status more obvious). Judging from looks alone then, they’d probably assume Jora’s in the process of growing tines/ has had eggs/is a weird looking prong rather than a weird looking shine, so just to be safe they’d refer to xim as such rather than as a shine (at least at first. Clarifying what’s actually going on would be touchy lol). “Giving” eggs refers to the female action of putting eggs onto the males back, which is associated with prongs.

They look so good and I adore the headcanons/lore you added! Particularly interested in Rudo hitting on Fridu with homemade Rox-flirt-scent. Ohh Sohrab you are are so cute while being accidentally so rude. But she learns and she and Prax become good friends! Also thank you for dressing her (and in such a cute outfit!) I don't think I've actually put clothes on the wormbrain bug yet skjdskj

I love the little details in their clothes and shapes <3 Most of them relatively plain to contrast Sohrab, Prax and Jora covering up a lot, Rudo in his pink shirt! (I'm not sure Cerest can even see pink but?) Prax's scales and quills ): Fridu's horns, buzzcut, and earrings (and arms and gay panic lol)

Pilots and other transportation workers have absurd hours of service requirements that start your rest period as “the moment you shut the vehicle down” and can be as short as 9 hours in some cases.

Railroad workers have to be available on-call 6 days a week and be ready within two hours notice. They don’t get sick time.

Retail workers have to keep a veneer of politeness against any and all abuse or they can be fired.

Truck drivers get paid by mileage and rarely see pay for shipper or receiver delays.

What’s this? It’s pride month? Time for Gay Dog Art
