Good morning folks

'AI did a thing badly, and worke-'

Humans chose to use AI badly, rather than commonly available resources.

If a company outsources HR to another company, using Chatgpt to write HR policy is the fuckin least of the problems.

A badly written/non-extant abuse policy isn't the problem.

It's that you had no one with boots on the ground to notice it was fucking missing.

Aussie guy in this cafe bragging loudly about being a 2IC.

Oooh, wow, big man is second in command.

No one cares, fucker. No one gives a shit.

Drink
French tooooast

Gypsy got eggs and... They're cold? Like, as if from a fridge?

Weird.

The trend of slowing down songs and gender flipping the singer who then mumbles needs to die in a fire.

Seriously, 'Throw Your Arms Around Me' by Hunters and Collectors is a slow enough song. Don't turn it into a funeral dirge, ffs.

Kale: oh, french bread place
Gypsy: we have snacks
Kale: just going for a quick look, I'm capable of walking into a bread shop without buying more
*five minutes later*
Kale (carrying two scones): turns out I'm really not.
DUMPLING VENDING MACHINE 🥟
Gypsy says this is 'a perfect photo of you'
But also...
The greatest prank the Devil ever pulled was turning up the bidet water pressure on every toilet he saw while touring Japan...
It's not quite what I wanted (an actual playable toy), but a #macross model kit is deffo something I would consider

This hotel has free:
* ramen
* ice-cream
* probiotics
* massage chairs

Soooo... I've had a lot of ice-cream

After a week of being in Japan and seeing no anime, we finally turned on the tv to something about white/red blood cells and there's a big green tentacle monster chasing a little girl.

#AnimeWasAMistake.

We found a food court-esque place, but you order via a single website and pay once. Fuckin nice.
Ok, but there was way too much spring onion in that fried rice, so 6/10 on that

My brother keeps trying to get me to look for this aurora but... It's cloudy and light pollution as fuck here.

I've literally seen five stars, total, since I got to Japan a week ago.

Caught an episode of some anime that seemed almost Legend of the Five Rings, seemed like it was various clans (colours of purple, green, red). The purple ones were raven themed, riding around on giant ravens, etc.
@DarkestKale grats on the exceptionally clean arsehole
@MachineLordZero you assume I'm not the Devil, Z
@DarkestKale Is your arsehole not exceptionally clean? Have you looked? HYCYBH?
@DarkestKale definite capturing of essence there, yes
@DarkestKale It's like me going into a tea shop, you have to know your own limitations haha
@DarkestKale Slowed down songs is a trend with an expiry date. The trend that will last is warped records: every 1/33 minutes, a slight speed up then slow down.
@lachlan yeah, the guys at work listen to that shit too
@DarkestKale Wait, that's a thing? I was just picking what happened to some of my crappy second hand records
@DarkestKale wait till i explain how policing works in america
@worthlessbums You need me to pretend to be shocked, or?

@DarkestKale i think non-americans have a tendency to really not get how bad it is over here

which is odd because they usually point over here and ignore their own problems

@worthlessbums I mean, I do (tend to) listen to you...

@DarkestKale you recently visited a friend over here right

did you get the "if the police approach/pull you over don't get out of the vehicle" talk?

@worthlessbums I've heard it from you.

Also, we don't do that here either.

@DarkestKale yeah but if you do it what are your odds of dying 🙃
@worthlessbums slowly increasing, sadly.
@worthlessbums (also, my friend who's in the states is originally from here, so... Sometimes it sounds like he hasn't quite become aware of some facets of the USA despite being there about 10 years)

@DarkestKale i'm assuming your friend is white

but i give the talk to white visitors too

basically the high level discourse to police interaction is "they can kill you with impunity so let that be your guide to not getting shot"

@worthlessbums also, I just woke up and cede 'my country is worse' to you because that's not a discussion I want today :P
@worthlessbums lemme grumble about HR departments, Bums.
@DarkestKale *carefully puts away stats on homicide in austalia*
@worthlessbums anyway, my friend in Seattle daid something about a 'Geomagnetic storms' alert, so I already know my country's better.
@DarkestKale i got bad news for you about globalization and our satellite networks
@worthlessbums listen, fucker.
@DarkestKale i bet if i google geomagnetic storm may 11 australia i will get no news hits
@worthlessbums are you just jealous that I started solo'ing l5r?
@DarkestKale i'm not jealous that you went to japan and had a hard time finding sushi

@worthlessbums it's fuckin weird, Bums.

Like, prob regional? Dunno.
