Sometimes, chatting with mom leads me down weird paths. Today's path: Are Doritos halal?

Apparently not, except for salsa verde and sweet chili Doritos. Fun fact.

I don't have much to add, but I love that the top comments on the crab rave video over on YouTube are already celebrating. You love to see it.

Subtoot, deadnaming 

Can everyone please not say "deadname corporations!" It is not deadnaming, they are not people, they do not have feelings, identity, etc, they exist solely to make money, renaming usually being to make more.

Comparing that to the bigotry of deadnaming is really uncomfortable.

The corporate web is so fucked like how do you have "1486 partners"
Yeah sure let me just go through all of these and make an informed decision on whether I trust each one

do you have a fire extinguisher in your house?

if not, I highly recommend grabbing one if you can afford it. powder is a good place to start, since it works for almost all household fire types and is safe around electricals. a brand new 1kg one is about £15 and a 2kg one is about £20.

a few years back I had an incident where having a fire extinguisher in our kitchen saved me from severe burns and limited the fire damage to stuff I could cheaply repair. coincidentally, I had bought it that day.

(NB: There is nuance here I cannot fit into a 500 character post surrounding things like "being proud of commissioned art" and picrews (which I suppose could be considered an "image generator") and such. This is just me being pissy over image generation algorithms like DALL-E. Thank you for your understanding.)

Apparently hot take: being proud of AI (heavy scare-quotes) """art""" you (especially heavy scare-quotes) """""made""""" is kinda like being proud of art you commissioned from someone else, except at least with the commissioned art, you gave an actual artist money, and someone had to put in actual time and effort worthy of pride. If you tell an image generator to make an image, you did not make anything, much less art. You do not get to be proud of it.

Insert joke about how Apple had to steal from what is clearly the best OS ever made, Windows Vista

Man, Apple is so cool. Desktop gadgets and video wallpapers? I really feel like I'm living in the future...

The real question is "How many more times will I continue to make it?"

I started playing Genshin again for the first time in a long time, and, I'll be honest, I'm not sure how many times I've made the joke "Hey, you. You're finally awake."

I'm rewatching Citation Needed, and I can't help but think the surest proof that the Nazis were not, in fact, the master race is that they lost to, among other things, a man claiming to be a important Brit despite having never set foot in the UK, inflatable tanks, and a mad lad who fought WWII with a claymore and a longbow and succeeded.
