It says Times Square. Manhattan is one of the walkable places in the US where carrying groceries is actually something you can see.

There’s also this version

You’re one of today’s lucky 10,000.

I’m lactose too

Watch out for @TommySoda@lemmy.world then. They won’t tolerate you.

I took it as the opposite. They were finally feeling like old self again for a bit, but then got faced with the deer in the mirror.

I think this is about depression. Replace “turned into a deer” with feeling depressed and the comic works with no other change.

They’re not advertising to existing consumers, they’re trying to attract new ones. If someone is shopping around for sort functions and yours says it uses radix to make it faster and more performant, then it’s likely going to be a good selling point. Similarly, they put “we use AI, so you know it’s good” on everything because they think that’s also a good selling point.

Um… that’s what I said was my assumption. But according to the comment I was replying to, people prefer the flipped version because it looks like what they see in the mirror, i.e. what they think they look like.

Flip your selfies along the Y-axis

Now both are lying.

Camera apps nowadays “correct” for that and do mirror the image for preview

Huh, I always thought people who post flipped photos are just technically challenged (and/or have really poor eye for detail to not notice it). Never considered someone doing that on purpose just to further their own delusion of what they look like.

No, someone took an existing painting and modified it with copy/paste to show two middle fingers. Which is also ironic, given the message they’re trying to send.

It’s nice to say no, but across history there have been so so many societies that have allowed exactly that at similar scales.

With 3 million in an account you’re already making over 100k/year out of interest. With 100 million you never have to care about money even if you live in lavish luxury. 1bil is absolutely ridiculous.

I do agree with separating the artist from the art, but I also understand choosing to not support people whose values you disagree with. Because your money will end up being used to support those values.

So yes, I won’t say that I don’t like certain songs/books/paintings/etc. because of the artist, but I can refuse to pay for them or other related merchandise.

Looks like any of hundreds of movies from that time. It’s been literal decades since I saw it, I was probably the same age my daughter is now. Once I read the reference I realized that I do recognize T1000, but I definitely don’t remember that kid.

My most secure password is a full phrase of over 40 characters, plus punctuation.

Nobody is giving kids alcohol

When I was a kid I always asked for a taste when my parents had a drink with the meal. It was just a sip and I never liked it and it burned (it was usually a hard spirit), but I still asked every time.

When my wife was 5 she was being sent to the still to do a taste check and see if the brandy is strong enough yet.

Step 1: don’t play competitive online multi-player games.

I like that getting rid of glasses today is rejection of technology, while in Asimov’s Caves of Steel, wearing glasses was rejection of technology.

What the sigma?
