Technophobes need to apologise for "just put it in plain English you stupid machine!" because, well for one the decline in accurate error messages in favour of simplicity has contributed to the rise of tech illiteracy, but also because now whenever an "app" has a net connection error it will pop up a box saying something like "oo ooopsie!

Why does every 2024 movie poster look like a background gag in an unwatchable-past-season-3 decade-old sitcom get me out of here

this is awesome and i think it should be allowed. sports should have special abilities and tools and traps like its mario kart. goalkeepers should be throwing banana peels out on the pitch to slow down the opposing attack. this is futureball.

I’m not sure how much of it is innate and how much of it is imitative, but a thing I’ve always found interesting about feline vocalisation is that they enunciate for emphasis in pretty much the same way that humans do, so when a cat is being emphatic you can literally hear the exclamation point.
