what's an example here of unfair cancellation that you are thinking about? I feel that most of those who have been "cancelled" have been so because of fairly egregious stuff like sexual assault, clearly racist speech, etc.

it's not about the "meaning" of the word but more the way people use it and its connotations. it is often code for a racist or homophobic sentiment the speaker doesn't want to own up to. when people say "things are

first thought is that much of that 25% is test code for non-ai-gen code...

Made me think of Brewster McCloud, a truly loco early Robert Altman film. In it, Bud Cort sets up housekeeping in the roof of the Houston Astrodome, where he builds a bird-like flying contraption he hopes to sail down onto the field during

insane, and childlike in its binary vision of what humanity is. it's like YA fiction. The notion that grown adults in 2024 in San Francisco, of all places, would be down with wearing a uniform in daily life, is so out to lunch I am pre

i had a CPAP for years, now I've had a (custom-made, prescription) mouthguard for years. For me, the mouthguard is about as effective as CPAP but much, much more convenient. Without treatment, I have severe Sleep Apnea and awaken 30 ti
