I've got to look up every possible way to sew hidden, concealed and non-obvious pockets and other such storage caches in all of my clothing, and then have as many of those as I can fit in every item in my wardrobe. Trying to get as much hidden storage space on my person as possible. Carrying around a backpack's worth of shit without carrying a bag of any sort.
Getting bored while waiting for the bus and just casually pulling a goddamn sewing kit out of my sleeve to start doing needlework on my jeans, like hey hold on where the fuck did you just pull that shit from. Equipping shit from my secret inventory.
Hammer space but it's a pocket specifically located on your left calf. Neat :D
since becoming a barista i have noticed a few very distinct typologies among my customers. such as:
the woke left: young and fashionable. visible tattoos. often enjoys matcha, lavender flavoring, oat milk, and cold foam. pretty decent customers.
sweet old man: drinks very sweet iced lattes, pays in cash, puts all of his change in the tip jar. sometimes orders hot coffee and i get scared that his shaky old man hands will spill it and he'll get burned but that has not yet happened and god willing never shall.
evil old man: only wants drip coffee and declares it ridiculous that any other form of coffee exists. some variants only want americanos and these variants are even scarier. watch out.
sweet old woman: might need her daughter's help to order but is very bubbly and open to trying new things. compliments baristas freely and frequently.
evil old woman: does not want coffee and only wants sweet tea or soda. will not tip even if she spends three hours in the shop repeatedly asking baristas to fetch things for her.
errand husband: either stiltedly recites an order to you or shows you the order in their texts/notes app. needs to step out of line and make a phone call if you ask any follow-up questions.
grindset girlie: always wearing scrubs, an apron, and/or a name tag. orders the exact same thing every day and knows the exact change she'll need to pay for it. her regular order is both extremely caffeinated and extremely sweet.
#mamabear: is actively wrangling two to four children while ordering. order changes repeatedly because the children cannot decide if they want a muffin or a cookie or apple juice or chocolate milk etc. for some reason these women are always wearing an article of clothing or carrying some personalized item that says "mama" on it.
schoolchildren: band of two to eight adolescents hanging out after school. extremely indecisive but generally quite polite and tip well.
amnesiac in love: grown adult who needs their partner to tell them what they like. gets asked a question about their own preferences and turns to their partner to answer for them. generally acts like a shy child looking to their guardian for behavioral cues if you try to interact with them and only wants to talk to mommy i mean their wife.
this of course is not an exhaustive list but those are just some of the most consistent Types i get. ok bye xoxo
This is an awesome use of what is probably a master's degree if not a doctorate and I am 100% thrilled that she shared it even though it was embarrassing and she squeaked.
Thank you, adorable scientist, for making people's lives better.
As an Australian, THIS WOMAN IS A FUCKING GODSEND.

This is why Pride is not just a party. It's a joyful celebration, but it's also a pointed and colourful two-finger salute to a world that stood back whilst so many of us died. And we'll never go quietly, never again.
Personally I hate AI because it uses slave labor, is killing the planet and is making people stupid, but that's just me. The soulless art aspect is just one little piece of my grander disdain.
wait how does AI use slave labor? Do you mean the human works that are stolen and not credited or compensated? Because technically under capitalism everything is exploited but there are varying degrees
Aside from the scraping, AI tech companies, including openAI/chatGPT, have outsourced training their models to countries in the global south, specifically Kenya in openAI's case. These workers are working in sweatshop conditions for less than 2 bucks USD per hour. I'm on mobile, but if you search 'openAI Kenya slave labor' and related keywords, you can find multiple articles about it.
Training AI takes a heavy toll on Kenyan workers, who say they earned $2 an hour to label and sift through gruesome content for American com
Just watched Adam Conover (of Adam Ruins Everything) make such a solid point that I think we should spread far and wide. Yes, having AI write your emails is lazy, sure, but people love being lazy. We need to really emphasize that sending AI emails (or using AI responses on social media, or publishing AI flyers, or or or) is rude.
It's rude. You're making someone take their time to read something you couldn't bother to write. You're telling them they were so unimportant you couldn't be bothered to actually take the time to say something yourself. And frankly, you're lying about it while you're at it.
It's rude.

A German regional court has ruled that Google is directly liable for the content of its AI search overviews. According to the court, previou
Let’s fucking go
This is HUGE.
1. The court holds Google responsible for statements made by its AI, considering them Google's statements (search engines have limited liability for results in their engine as they're the words of other sites/companies/people), meaning when their AI lies/hallucinates they're liable for the defamation/harm resulting from those statements.
2. Google's defense that customers are generally aware of the lack of reliability and are responsible for fact checking was dismissed. As the court pointed out, that would "significantly diminish" AI Search's stated purpose and it can't be distinguished from Google's business practices/statements as a search tool.
3. Studies have found about 91% of Google's everyday AI responses are accurate, leaving millions of searches per HOUR with potential liability for falsehoods. 56% of correct responses weren't supported by the sources the AI listed. Both of which mean Google is now liable for a LOT more AI "errors."
4. Google was held liable for 80% of court costs in this case and this precedent is expected to reverberate around the world. This is a massive shift from the 3rd-party search provider role Google has previously played and it comes right as they've tied ALL searches to their AI search.
TL;DR Google reeeeeally stepped in it this time.
Can’t believe how gorgeous and perfect they came out 🐯😍
I'm in the process of revamping wardrobe because as you can imagine, my physique has not stayed the same in the past few years, especially given that I got pregnant and had a baby.
I do occasionally buy new, especially when my preferred and theoretically more ethical manufacturers have sales, but I probably get most of my stuff second hand - much of it still with tags on. It feels more environmentally friendly to be saving something from being landfill, and honestly? Given how much my body changed in a year keeping up would have been pricey.
I'm currently adding clothing that is breastfeeding friendly, preferably without exposing my entire midriff or an expanse of breast. Because that's chilly and I just don't want to. I'm donating stuff that I'm almost certain I'd never fit into again, and accepting that my current post pregnancy shape is not what it was before.
Anyhow I've just taken a lot of psychic damage because I'll look at an item I like that I think is fairly timeless - if maybe *slightly* dated and be hit with tags like #y2k #retro #oldschool #ancientfashion #ifyoulikethisyouareadinosaur (the last two may be able exaggeration).
I do find it amusing that much of what gets labelled y2k is really 2010s fashion, sometimes technically closer to today than the year 2000.
And it's kind of hard to admit to oneself that much of what formed my core fashion sensibilities has dated. Fashions change, and sometimes I just don't resonate with what's popular right now.
I mean, to be fair, I always liked retro fashion anyway. When you're a little bigger and feel like you're all boob, not every style feels designed with your body in mind - often the default style seems to be for taller, skinnier women. blocky cuts can make me feel like a shapeless lump, and retro styles with a defined waist aren't hard to find. I am also SO ready to be done with the ubiquitous pregnancy clothing empire line.
But if I look good (to me), it doesn't actually matter if it'a not the current trend. I don't think my partner would know or care what's fasionable. And honestly? Getting older made me realise that most grownups are out there wearing what they enjoy, even if it went out of fashion 5 or even 10 years ago. Most people like familiarity.
The idea that we need to throw out our entire wardrobe every few months or even every year to keep up is rooted in overconsumption, and addressing overconsumption would go hand in hand with accepting people may wear things that aren't currently fashionable, or were never cool. And that this too is OK.
one of the best ways i’ve found to combat that inherent depressive pessimism without veering into toxic positivity territory is simply the phrase “i’m open to the possibility”
this particularly works with anything negative i’ve forecasted. “i woke up feeling like shit today, so my day is gonna suck” isn’t a particularly helpful thought, but “it’s a great day to be alive!!!!!” feels hollow and insincere when i have a pounding headache & am running on three hours of sleep
instead i’ll tell myself, “i really don’t feel good right now, but i’m open to the possibility that coffee and breakfast might perk me up a bit.” or “i’m in a lot of pain today, but i’m open to the possibility that my workday might still have fun parts despite that”
sometimes, when your impulse is to slam the door on anything good, but you’re not exactly up to going out & hunting it down yourself, leaving the door open just a crack makes all the difference
This helped me today hope it helps someone else too
Always remember you don't know the future! Things could suck even worse than you expected, but they could also be much better, and you can't make up your mind what it'll be like before you see for yourself.
"I'm open to the possibility this won't entirely suck."
"This sounds awful but I could be surprised. I'd love to be proven wrong."
"My hopes aren't high but I guess we'll see."
This is the mentality behind "expect the worst but hope for the best," behind cynical optimism. It's being prepared for everything to go wrong, but keeping that door cracked with a spark of hope in the back of your mind that—you know it won't happen all the time, it doesn't change your expectations, but hopefully sometimes you'll be pleasantly surprised. And when opportunities happen, you're less likely to pass them by, and more willing to see where they go.
“there’s an ai tool for that” okay ?? there’s probably an ed sheeran song for it too who gives a fuck
hey did ya'll know that ed sheeran is working on a series of 6 albums named after media player buttons and the first one released last year and the last one is to be released posthumously on the day that he dies
That doesn't sound right but I don't know enough about Ed Sheeran to prove otherwise
…huh
