this is not life-threatening, but also who wants weeks of diarrhea and a fucking parasite in them lol. if you suspect you've already had this and it's passed, i would see a doctor. you might need an antiparasitic anyway. if you're actively sick, see a doctor and they might be able to prescribe medication to help you get over it faster.

try to avoid eating raw vegetables, scrub fruit with a produce brush and rinse thoroughly with water. again, don't bother with premade greens or bagged salads. if you buy lettuce, remove the outer 2-3 layers of leaves.

And it pissed me off so badly that I spent the ENTIRE WORK DAY today compiling evidence from every project my team has ever done for her, pulling past emails she’d sent us, putting together an entire case proving that she had been the problem all along. That she got projects mixed up, that she’d made requests that were nonsensical, literally everything you could possibly imagine. Screenshots of emails, reports we’d submitted, EVERYTHING.

This woman in particular has been terrorizing my team for years, her name is almost a slur in my office, I had simply had ENOUGH of her.

I put all of this evidence together and sent it to all of my bosses at 4:30pm. Then I took a long break to eat a sweet treat and drink some tea.

After my break, my bosses all called in an emergency meeting with me and they said they read my report and fucking loved it. And I sat on a teams call with my boss’ boss as she wrote my nemesis the scathing email I had always fantasized about sending, using the evidence I’d compiled, and hit send.

I just now opened bluesky to use social media as one does and got asked to verify my age.

That says "verify again" because I bit the bullet to see what they'd ask of me in the email of how to prove my age.

I haven't clicked this one yet and I don't think I will be doing so any time soon, as I immediately googled "Is KWS safe" and on reddit from a post over a year ago explains it will take a ton of your information. It stands for 'kids web services' and they're transparent about what they use or want on their website. I still dont trust it though.

The short of it is it seems it will ask you for ID and credit/debit card information to prove your age as well as a picture of your face. We all know the issue with face cams/pictures already I imagine. Short answer to that is its easy to trick but also very dumb and will say a young looking adult is under 18.

I will not be selling my digital soul to this machine and I don't think you should either so I guess this means I'll just go do anything else except be on bluesky. Which sucks because recently I had been having a fun time reaching out to some small fandom community and interacting with some artists.

This reddit post seems to have more updated information as it is recent. Im still confused on if its a Texas or United States thing though. People are debating and noting that its Bluesky's choice on the matter and one commenter's wife suggested that you make your complaints heard to bluesky.

This reached me through a newsletter I subscribe to (Daily Tech Insider -- I don't know that I recommend it, it's kind of spammy, but does occasionally provide useful intel on AI) and I couldn't find a public version of it to link to so I'mma just copypaste the newsletter's content here:

Meta just launched Muse Image, its new AI image generator, across Instagram, WhatsApp, and the Meta AI app. It edits photos, generates social-ready images, and powers new Instagram Stories effects. Public Instagram accounts are automatically eligible for AI remixing. Someone can tag a public profile and create new images using that person's photos. Meta says users can opt out (currently only on mobile), but the default leaves photos in play. Worse, users aren't notified when AI content is created with their material, and opting out won't delete images that already exist. Meta is, however, applying an invisible "Content Seal" watermark to track AI origins, and a detection tool is available online for anyone to check images.
