Have you ever been confused by coconut milk? Do you think that hamburgers come from Hamburg? Are sweetbreads made from wheat and sugar?

I don't know what the authors are complaining about. All the AI is doing is trawling through a lexicon of words and rearranging them into an order that will sell books. It's exactly what authors do. This is about money.

Oh, it's not that simple. I could call, email or any number of other methods. It's just that I'd rather not communicate with a right wing, paranoid, fear-spreading, racist nut job. I just need to know they're still breathing. This individual is spewing bile every single day,

Good news. I use it once a week to check if a relative is still alive.

I have to agree. wefwef is original and easy to search for. Voyager is going to get lost in a sea of voyagers (pun intended). Matrix/Element had the same problem every time they changed names and chose generic words.

I'd have gone for Wiff Waff, the original name of Ping Pong:

Sleaford Mods are an English post-punk music duo, formed in 2007 in Nottingham. The band features vocalist Jason Williamson and, since 2012, musician Andrew Fearn. They are known for their abrasive, minimalist musical style and embittered explorations of austerity-era Britain, culture, and working class life, delivered in Williamson's East Midlands accent.

I have only ever read about 20 subs on Reddit and I've never had an account there. I use Teddit to read them for stuff that hasn't made it to Lemmy yet.

You like shredding? Alvin Lee was the OG shredder.

It says “no fully exposed” arse pix. What percentage of exposed derrière is acceptable? Asking for a friend.

Another hugely underrated band from the 70s. Great songwriters, talented musicians, a very satirical edge and a stage show like nothing else.

Police are already using self-driving car footage as video evidence:

While security cameras are commonplace in American cities, self-driving cars represent a new level of access for law enforcement ­ and a new method for encroachment on privacy, advocates say. Crisscrossing the city on their routes, self-driving cars capture a wider swath of footage. And it’s easier for law enforcement to turn to one company with a large repository of videos and a dedicated response team than to reach out to all the businesses in a neighborhood with security systems.

Unsure if this is off-topic for this thread so feel free to delete if that's the case.

Someone didn't think this through. Banning Master/slave oppresses the BDSM community. Well, it oppresses the Masters, at least. The slaves like a bit of oppression. It's their raison d'être.

Joking aside, language is what the speaker means and nothing else. You can say something to ten people and they'll all have their own interpretations. And they can all be wrong.

A classic a while back was some folk in Australia saying Captain Cook didn't discover Australia because indigenous people had been there for thousands of years. That isn't what discover means but it didn't stop many being offended.

I've discovered lots of things in my lifetime. It doesn't mean I was the first.
