Is #PicaTheCat innocent?

OK enough fun games. I’m asking the main question:

Is she innocent?

As a short person one of my pet peeves is when there is a social event and they have those "tall tables" that you stand around. Or if there is nowhere to sit down and you have to stand and talk to people.

I'm seriously considering having a little step stool in my bag because talking in a circle while standing is so annoying.

It's hard to hear people.
It's hard to see their faces.

If the whole room is full of people and it's a little dark then it's like being in a scary forest.

Do you have back pain or problems? If you have had to change your life, eg. avoid doing something, or stay home due to your back or if it hurts often that's "having back problems"

If you are taller than 164cm (5' 4.5") you are "tall." (In this formulation more men are tall than women, I'm interested in absolute height here so not breaking it down by gender. Data are bimodal but I don't think it matters much.)

"Would you ever put a prediction market in Roblocks? Let kids bet with their robucks?"

Insane combinations of words that should never occur. Anyone even discussing such questions ought to be put into prison. However...

Moments like this make me more determined to help kids build an internet they can control.

In the US churches are excited about trans people existing and other deeply counterproductive nonsense. What if we could redirect them to being mad about gambling again? That seems like a much more productive project if they can't be convinced to help the poor... which the Bible says they ought to be.

Gambling is a sin. Do your conservative politicians care about how it's destroying people's lives at all?

"lethal kinetic strike"

I have more respect for a phrase like "waste disposal technician" (garbage man)

What is the purpose of jargon? What does it glorify? what does it obscure?

"conducted a lethal kinetic strike"

"killed people with a bomb"

YouTube is continuing their assault on "hand que'd" videos. That is the practice of marking the videos you want to see and watching them on a play list.

They just pushed a new update that tries to hide the queue if you don't open it again. It also tries to replace the queue with a list they made (their algorithm) unless you keep navigating back to it.

The moment this breaks I'm gone.

I'm not gonna let ya'll pick what I watch. I don't trust you.

What would it feel like to not feel like I'm always fighting with the damn software?

What if you made the software actually help me for once?
