can you immediately recognize the difference between ❤️ and ♥️ in your emoji font of choice, or are you normal

Kinda wild that “no one should die for shareholder profits” isn’t a universal belief.

Apparently one of my skills is "mimicking the sounds of inanimate objects", like rusty playground swings, rubber duckies, and powertools.

(And a full range of cat sounds, but those are not 'inanimate')

Visual Artists:

Has knowing about #AI generated art had an impact on your art?

That is, have you shifted the focus or style of your work? Have you felt the need to make "making of" or process gifs/videos/image sequences to show how your work is created (to make it clear it is human made?)

Do you now use (or not use) certain elements/tools to distance your work from AI images? (For example, switching back to pen and paper.)

Check all that apply:

Laziness does not exist

From the archive earlier this month: For the GRP 127 Tour du Brabant Wallon in Belgium SGR at multiple locations had difficulties finding locations for placing waymarkers, because of a lack of fences and trees. They solved that with those handmade wood carved maps before a section without signposts. This is the one near Chapelle du Rond Chêne in Tourinnes-la-Grosse.

> According to Netflix’s rubric, two users who watch the first half of Sweet Girl and close their laptops equal one full “view” — as do 110 users who each watch a single minute.

Good, if depressing, read.

Hotel 'security' has been defeated once again.

I wonder how universal the password for the Mifare Ultralight is? Specific to the hotel, or across the entire chain?

The older I get, the more I think the basic division in human beings is, “I suffered, therefore I want nobody else to suffer” vs “I suffered, so I want EVERYONE else to suffer”.

Oh look, it’s me 🤣😅

Hi all, I have what may be a strange request. My Nan is in a nursing home and can't go out due to mobility problems, but she loves birds. I show her bird photos I come across online but sometimes it's hard to find a lot of new/interesting ones. If you take any cool bird pictures, could you please add the hashtag #BirdsForBecsNan so I can find them more easily for her? The more colourful/exotic/pretty, the better, but she also likes to see rare/unusual birds.
