Thank you for the Pride well wishes to me specifically ☺️ My mediocre pasta dish is spaghetti with too many vegetables in the sauce

I’m not gonna read anything else you say 🥳
For anyone feeling targeted by this meme, here are some ways to help:
- Donate to trans focused charities, like Advocates for Trans Equality or the Transgender Law Center
- Support individual trans people. Surgery is expensive even with insurance due to time needed off work.
- Please god just listen when a trans person says you’ve done something transphobic. The vast, vast majority of trans people don’t speak up about every little thing because we are drowning in transphobia. Generally if someone has said something it’s because it genuinely bothered them, even if it wasn’t ’that bad’ it may be intimately linked for them to past trauma; roughly 40% of trans people meet the criteria for a PTSD diagnosis, compared to less than 5% of the general population.
Oh my god, a common pervert has been blowing into my ass this entire time and not a trained musician??
Funny that they’re calling them AI haters when they’re specifically poisoning AI that ignores the do not enter sign. FAFO.
As soon as school lets out the ancaps are going to be very cranky about this!
They’re dismembered and being sprayed with plant blood, I think it’s a mixed experience at best.

Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•'But What if we Made a Show Showcasing the Positives of the Torment Nexus'0·3 months agoThe funny thing is they hate Star Trek, because at its heart it’s social commentary about modern events and it has been since TOS.
When they say they want positivity about technology, what they mean is they want a combination of an Apple commercial and tech ASMR. Just straight masturbatory tech consumerism, where progress is a new toy to buy and how much everyone loves the toy.
Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•LA-to-Shanghai United Airlines flight turns back after pilot forgets passport0·4 months agoThis has to be the pilot version of that nightmare where you’re back in high school and also naked. Maybe some teeth falling out too.
Edit: based on the FlightAware log it looks like they were maybe an hour and a half out when the pilot realized they fucked up. Better than right before landing, I guess?
Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Sears From A Joke Being Torn Down0·1 year agoThey probably would have been fine regardless of Amazon if they hadn’t been run into the ground by a libertarian econ major.
In 2008, Sears CEO Eddie Lampert decided to restructure the company according to Rand’s principles.
Lampert broke the company into more than 30 individual units, each with its own management and each measured separately for profit and loss. The idea was to promote competition among the units, which Lampert assumed would lead to higher profits. Instead, this is what happened, as described by Mina Kimes, a reporter for Bloomberg Business:
An outspoken advocate of free-market economics and fan of the novelist Ayn Rand, he created the model because he expected the invisible hand of the market to drive better results. If the company’s leaders were told to act selfishly, he argued, they would run their divisions in a rational manner, boosting overall performance.
Instead, the divisions turned against each other — and Sears and Kmart, the overarching brands, suffered. Interviews with more than 40 former executives, many of whom sat at the highest levels of the company, paint a picture of a business that’s ravaged by infighting as its divisions battle over fewer resources.
A close-up of the debacle was described by Lynn Stuart Parramore in a Salon article from 2013:
It got crazy. Executives started undermining other units because they knew their bonuses were tied to individual unit performance. They began to focus solely on the economic performance of their unit at the expense of the overall Sears brand. One unit, Kenmore, started selling the products of other companies and placed them more prominently than Sears’ own products. Units competed for ad space in Sears’ circulars…Units were no longer incentivized to make sacrifices, like offering discounts, to get shoppers into the store.
I omit the olives and use a 1:1 onion:pepper ratio, but it’s basically like this one
This recipe probably has a fine amount of veg as written, I just always think it needs more than it does and I don’t measure shit when I’m making sauce 👍
