  • Martha Bartlett with Kitten ca. 1860

  • Maybe I was wrong. Maybe it's the cat that is possessed and the child is just spiritually battling it in her subconscious.

  • Martha Bartlett with Kitten ca. 1860

    Jump

  • Definitely a child possessed by the spirit of an 80 year old auntie who is displeased with your life choices.

  • What is with Reddit and always showing off celebs walking thru the Critereon Closet?

    Jump

  • Seems like a question for the reddit sub in question.

  • what users do you recognize a lot and why

    Jump

  • No, they're for you as the user only.

    I mostly use them to 1) track interesting people like there's a user on here who's a Jellyfin Roku app developer. I don't remember their username, but pay attention to their comments when I see the user tag I set for them 2) people who are bad faith trolls whose usernames I won't remember but don't want to get sucked into investing time answering their questions when they'll just be racist asshats in response.

  • The AI Termination Ban: Why Chinese Courts Just Made It Illegal to Replace Workers with Robots

    Jump

  • Do Vegas casinos own a sizeable stake in online gaming? If so, it would be interesting to see what part of those increasing profits are due to us poors spending on online gaming increasing while we never set foot in Vegas.

  • what users do you recognize a lot and why

    Jump

  • It's a feature of the Voyager app and from what I can gather, at least some other apps too.

    You have to turn the feature on in settings, then just click into the user profile right next to where one would block a person, there's an option to apply a user tag.

  • Management has historically been interested in boiling down complex issues to so-called KPIs, so that employee performance can seemingly be presented in a simple dashboard. Are there such KPIs for AI?

    Jump

  • I have to agree. My boss technically looks at one KPI for me and my team, but it's a badly lagging indicator and I can only influence less than half of it.

    His real KPI for me is how many times he gets called by someone complaining about me or asking me to reassign my priorities to what they think is important. The lower the better.

  • what users do you recognize a lot and why

    Jump

  • I'm not very good at remembering peoples inside-joke Lemmy handles that mean nothing to me. I liberally use user tags to keep track of people, most often people I want to warn future-self away from engaging with so I don't waste my time. Racists, bigots, trolls, sea lions, etc.

  • lab coat 2 hot

    Jump

  • A company I used to work for that made some equipment primarily used in laboratory settings wanted some photos for marketing materials. Me, being the only lady engineer there, was asked to be in them. Hair, makeup, lab coat even though I was on the machine shop floor for my day-to-day job, the works. They couldn't find a male engineer they considered photogenic enough so they asked the cafeteria manager, aka the janitor with additional duties to keep the coffee pots brewing and napkins on order. They even gave him fake glasses to make him look more studious. He did make for a way sexier scientist than I did. Straight up grey fox science man. He watched enough House MD to spout good fake medical lingo, making me laugh too hard thru the entire shoot.

  • 10 Creepiest PG Movies (for 80/90s kids) [30:57]

    Jump

  • Rollerskating-junk-monster

    Didn't even need to know it was Oz. The image immediately came to mind.

  • What do you make?

    Jump

  • Piss, poop, farts, and burps.

  • What song are you listening to RIGHT NOW, and would you recommend it?

    Jump

  • My phone's detection app says Close to You by Dayglow. I'm on a plane waiting to takeoff. The song is fine, I guess.

  • Epstein Obtained Objects From Islam’s Holiest Site for His Island ‘Mosque’

    Jump

  • AI architect prompt: design me a mosque in the style of a fast-food restaurant.

    From the inspiration photo cited in the article to the actual, what a miss.

  • Blue no matter who

    Jump

  • Their first and only post too. They created an account to post something they don't understand about a country they don't live in. Carry on, nothing to see here.

  • What movie franchise gets worse with each new film?

    Jump

  • Tron. It ends with tossing out the one before and letting Jared Leto get his stink all over it.

    Marvel Cinematic Universe should have stopped sometime before Phase 4 (Eternals, Black Widow, Wakanda Forever, Multiverse of Madness).

    The Matrix should have ended at 1.

    The Jason Bourne movies should have ended when Jason Bourne's story was concluded, without extending it to Aaron Cross's story, played by Jeremy Renner.

  • Flo period tracker sells user data to Meta and Google

    Jump

  • I use Drip for basic cycle tracking. I don't use it for fertile phase tracking so no comment there.

    For cycle tracking, it does what it needs to do. It's easy enough to setup and completely forget what tracker/spyware I used to use. Heck, I think it was Flo I used to use.

    And f-droid or another alternative app stores not mandatory, Drip is on the Google Play store at least. Not sure about Apple.

  • Home town loony.

    Jump

  • Woof. I had a neighbor like this at the last place I lived. One series of signs pre-2024 election was how his son couldn't get a job or a wife because of the "immigrants stealing his jobs". Ouch, how would you like your parents posting signs on the street about how you can't get a job or laid. Multiple signs across the yard and ofc a flagpole with the Thin Blue Line variant flying.

  • What can employers do to stop sexual mistreatment of women at work?

    Jump

  • Fire offenders, fire leaders that cover for them, and don't hide the reason from employees that remain. Make examples of them succinctly and professionally.

    We had a known offender for years, the whisper campaign was strong. He was finally encouraged to leave following "performance issues". All that did was signal to remaining offenders that if they do a good enough job keeping it quiet, they won't even be fired if they're caught, just allowed to exit quietly. And knowing that guy and some of the men he worked for, they probably gave him recommendations for his next job.

  • Are you a "keep the box" person or a "throw the box away" person?

    Jump

  • Keep only within specific, narrow size parameters. I want the right size boxes because I move frequently; not so small as to be inefficient, not so large they will be back-crushing when full. The rest are broken down and send to the recycling bin.
