there is a near limitless supply of text to read. if you start a book that feels too light or boring, ditch it. i think its worthwhile to read things you dislike or may not agree things from time to time, but its totally okay to abandon a book that you do not feel is worth your time. i say start with what interests you most! i think a good reading list is a mutable construct to give you ideas on what to read next and keep you from forgetting books you heard about, not necessarily a list to really kill. also you can remove books from it that dont interest you anymore, its not an assignment. i think a strong book lover will have a list that keeps growing throughout their life :)

fireworks are one of the most harmful, resource-demanding form of shitty entertainment we have in the modern age. i hope drone shows catch on in the usa. could have wayyyy better shows, no noise, and theyre reusable

A European delivery company had to disable its AI chatbot after it started swearing at a customer and admitting it was the “worse delivery firm in the world.”

Dynamic Parcel Distribution (DPD) had to turn off its AI chatbot feature after disgruntled UK customer Ashley Beauchamp managed to get it to swear at him and write a disparaging poem.

tl;dr partner of 3 years broke my rule and ate meat in the house while i was gone. wondering about the future of our relationship

for context, we had a discussion and set a rule that no pork or beef would enter the house because it makes my kitchen feel disguisting and unclean, as well as bums me out obv. not to discriminate against other types of meat but something about the smell of the two mentioned + the high fat causing it to stick everywhere is a hard, hard no. anyways, a few weeks ago i went on a trip and my partner decided to bring home and cook bacon while i was gone. my kitchen stunk for over a week and i was miserable. i made this known and thought we were good. i just got back from another trip and saw ha bought salami. i think he tries to be sneaky about it but now my nice, expensive wooden cutting board just feels contaminated because i dont know what happened when i was gone. im not just bad he broke a rule we talked about and he agreed to, but just disappointed he so desperately feels the need to eat a dead pig that he'd knowingly break a rule in our relationship, opting to sneak around me rather than grow a spine and talk about it. we've been fighting about meat for years, including him ordering it in front of me at restaurants (which totally ruins a date for me) esp when theres an easy vegan switch. whether or not he follows the rule anymore is starting to seem like a mute point because it just bothers me so much how little he cares after being with a vegan for 3 years. i wasnt a hardcore vegan when we got together so its just bothered me more over time and its starting to build resentment. anyone been in a similar situation or has any advice? are we doomed?

i cannot believe how many decades a single word has had a chokehold on this country with zero sense of political nuance

why look for a space with a political lean if you don't wanna see politics? plenty of spaces to talk about other topics

i think that liking a person can make you physically attracted to them. i didnt look at either of my partners the first time and drop jaw on the floor... but once i became friends and developed a crush they started to look cute! my current partner is very attractive to me now :)

something harmless my dad likes to do when hes walking with a group of people and is in front is walk to the side and pretent to examine something. causes a whole group of people to go walk over and look. and go nuts when they dont see anything.

Our (my partner and i) lease is up in a month and we are planning on moving to a town 30 minutes north of us. we're in a small college town surrounded by cornfields currently, and would be moving to a more suburban area. my main reasons for moving are that I've been in this town for about 5 years and honestly its got some of the blandest selection of shops, restaurants, activities, etc. its not totally devoid of cool people and small businesses, but a majority of its commerce is through chains. in the new town, there would be local grocers to shop at, a wider variety of cultural foods, and more... extracurriculars (i like to take dance, art, etc. classes). however, the apartment we have a deposit down for is kinda shit. we cant really afford anything better at this size, though. we'll also lose out on being in a walkable area. also, my partner would have to commute to school ~3x a week for classes and i feel kinda bad abt dragging him away from being able to walk to campus, but something in me feels ready for a change. though as the title says, im facing indecision. thoughts?

I've been flossing usually twice a day, sometimes only once a day, pretty strictly for the past 2 weeks or so. mostly because my grandma bullied me lol. However it still hurts? when does it usually go away?

i like this different perspective because ive seen people delude themselves into falling in love with the most insane, horrible people by spitting out all this commitment and lovey dovey crap. an ex friend ruined our friendship for this awful dude that she got engaged to after 6 months. this way you know you're your own person and that both parties are here willingly. not to mention it makes you keep your game up :)
