@vindictivebirds @SpaceCoastCRE I really wanted to write another example, but I got halfway through 3 different options, and I was so creeped out by them, that I couldn't finish. None were even remotely inappropriate, but imagining saying them in a flirty tone was too weird.

@SpaceCoastCRE omg I flirt with toddlers all the time too “So are you from the city, orrrrr… ?”

Weird take, but... Flirting is the most underrated skill and nobody will say it out loud because it sounds gross. It's not sexual. It's the ability to disarm a stranger in 4 seconds. I flirt with toddlers. Contractors. The 80 year old at Publix. The woman at the permit desk who can make my life hell. It's not weird. It's not promiscuous. It's rapport. And a lot of you need to learn how to do it.

@A_DungeonDelver Joke's on them, if you spent decades buying physical books, you have a free lifetime subscription to any edition you own.

"They've spent decades buying physical books, miniatures, dice and mapboards. Now turn it into a pay as you go game-as-a-service online only software application."

@thedailymemes_ I have never washed my van, not once. I live down a gravel lane between fields and pastures. It would be dirty again in 5 minutes. It's 21 years old. At this point, I'm pretty sure the dirt is the only thing holding the paint on.

We got our priorities straight

@costumerchick @alphafox 100% agree. The only acceptable finger foods to me are dry, like bread. That was a stuffed steak, not a sandwich. Looked pretty good, though.

@alphafox Eating that “sandwich” that way is no better than the videos of people eating with their hands in a restaurant. Just put it on a plate and use a knife and fork. It’s not a burger or slice of pizza 😬

The only correct way to make a sandwich: 💯

@alphafox Okay, no, you gotta eat this with a fork and knife. That's messy and drippy and greasy. Looks good, though.

@RealParadox23 @TheNetDaily Strength has nothing to do with it, huh? Funny I've never seen a video of a little girl doing this. Guess they just don't understand physics like muscular men do.

@TheNetDaily Bench and strength have nothing to do with this lift. Simple physics.

How much you bench bro?

@Ruto01123 I think the most likes I've ever gotten on any of my art is 3. I guess it just doesn't resonate with people. I don't even bother posting most of my art on social media--I usually just show it to a friend or two and that's it.

たまに絵上手いのに全然いいねついてない人に出会うんだけどなんで？？？ 可哀想すぎんか？？ 絵上手いんだからXもインプ上げてあげて🥲 努力して絵上手い人には売れて欲しい願望

@1RealJohnyCage @JoshWalkos I never knew things weighed 50% more when frozen. Learn something new every day

@JoshWalkos Maybe Because They Were Weighed Up Frozen First .. Which Is Still Messed Up . Guarantee They Weighing Them Frozen . There Problem Solved👌🏾✅

Walmart is ripping off it’s customers for an unimaginable sum of money every day.

@absolutelyCard_ Out of all the students I had in over a decade of tutoring math, I don't recall PEMDAS being an issue for any student unless they didn't know it existed--those who learned it used it without issue. One goofball in a million who misunderstands doesn't make a mnemonic bad.

PEMDAS inadvertently taught an entire generation of people a fundamental misunderstanding of order of operations and what exactly subtraction and division are

@Fuululuu I would normally never draw a modern pose like this, so I had to draw my character who would be the most embarrassed to do something so cutesy. Shocked so many responses ended up flagged as spam.

‼️ALRIGHT ARTISTS ‼️ Are we up for the challenge? All you gotta do is trace this lovely pose I put together in DesignDoll. Go, create. No AI bullshit. All skill levels and styles are welcome to join. Reply to this tweet with your finished artwork! I will check ALL submissions. 🫶

So embarrassing.

@Soaringeagle45 The construction workers who framed that wall were yacht builders previously.

Time for Sheetrock! 💪

@RadRadDoc @MamaLBK @drantbradley It's true.

@MamaLBK @drantbradley if true, i stand corrected on that point and apologize. It must be like in medicine then, where administration bloat hordes all the $$$ with no benefit to the people who pay into it.

Must watch: In fall 2026, the federal is moving to eliminate financial aid eligibility for majors whose graduates do not earn at least as much as the average high school graduate. This incentive structure is going to effectively eliminate the humanities & liberal arts.

@drantbradley If a job is low-paying, it shouldn't require a degree. If a job is technical enough that it requires a degree, it should pay appropriately. Why would I go spend buckets of money getting a degree in something that pays less than a McDonald shift lead?

@FingerOfFact @JoeBlowczlq @GOP__Ls Lol, not you, man, you're fine. I was replying to the guy who said there's no crime in white areas because there's nothing to steal from white trash.

@DMdraws @JoeBlowczlq @GOP__Ls A lot of things but I guess in this case my dark humor knows no bounds and my autism leaves me socially unacceptable more times than not.

🚨8/10 of the highest crime states are red.

@stripeybeard @itsolelehmann I was thinking that video didn't at all demonstrate any of the 'amazing' features the text described. It blinked. It opened its mouth a little. It looked around. There were no facial expressions at all except blank.

@itsolelehmann I dont want to be a negative Nancy here.... but lets get real The movement is still very robotic The range of motion is way less than a basic Disney animatronic from 40 years ago Yes, its a realistic model, but we've had hyperreal sculptures for a long time now OK, it blinks

Ex Machina is no longer sci-fi. China has finally built it. The company is AheadForm, founded in Shanghai. The product is the world's most hyper-realistic robotic face. Silicone skin you can't tell from human, 25 micro motors hidden underneath pulling the face into real expressions. And RGB cameras embedded inside the pupils so when it looks at you, it actually sees you from where its eyes are. They raised $28.5M to "give AI a head," which is also where the name comes from. AheadForm = a head form. This is the opposite of where everyone else in robotics is focused. Unitree, Figure, Tesla, Boston Dynamics: all about the body. AheadForm chose the face because they think trust is the harder problem to solve, and trust gets decided at the face. The reason nobody else has tried this is the "uncanny valley." It's the creepy zone where a robot looks almost human but not quite, and looking at it just feels wrong even when you can't say why. Most roboticists believed no amount of engineering could make a face realistic enough to escape it. So they gave up and kept robots cartoonish on purpose: big anime eyes, exaggerated features, clearly synthetic. But AheadForm decided to treat it as an engineering bug instead. Add enough motors, tune the silicone, fix the timing, the valley closes. And they're pulling it off. A few crazy details about how this actually works: 1. The robot learns its own face in a mirror. You put it in front of a camera, let it fire every motor randomly, and it watches what its face does and builds an internal map of "if I send command X to motor Y, my eyebrow does this." Same exact process a human baby uses staring into a mirror. The robot teaches itself who it is by experimenting. 2. It predicts your smile 839 milliseconds before you smile. By watching the micro-tells in your face that precede a smile, the robot starts smiling 0.8 seconds ahead, so its smile lands at the same moment yours does. Most robot mimicry happens half a second late, which is exactly why it always feels artificial. 3. The pupils are the cameras. When the robot makes eye contact, the gaze and the sensor are the same physical thing. Most humanoid robots stick the camera on the forehead or chest, so they aren't actually looking at you when their eyes are pointed at you. 4. The founder, Yuhang Hu, did his PhD at Columbia under Hod Lipson. Lipson is the guy who in 2006 built a four-legged robot that figured out it had four legs by experimenting with its own movement, nobody told it the body shape, it discovered it. He has spent 25 years trying to build machines that know what they are. AheadForm is that 25-year research arc productized. 5. NetEase Games already paid them to physically embody a fantasy video game character. That opens up a brand-new category: robotics as the physical embodiment of fictional IP. Every character-rich studio, Disney, Riot, Hoyoverse, Pokemon, Netflix, now has a question to answer about when their characters get bodies. AheadForm believes whoever ships the first robot you'd actually want around your family wins. That's the bet behind the most realistic robot face on earth.

@JoeBlowczlq @FingerOfFact @GOP__Ls There's no reason to go steal anything from anybody, what's wrong with you?

@FingerOfFact @GOP__Ls No reason to go steal garbage from poor white trash living in a trailer out in the middle of nowhere.

@kaeruZangyo I hope they will report (to the police) if they eat a Japanese person.

英語が得意な方、このJapaneseって「日本食」であってますか？ 「日本人」じゃないよね😨

@0_blender Painting weights is my least favorite part of making a character. I'd rather manually unwrap UVs all day.

これはピボットが同じ位置だから、L字にしようがストレートにしようが結果は同じ気が・・・。 いや、解剖学の本を読んで、これだ！！と思って同じこと昔試したけど結局同じ結果になってウェイト次第だな、という結論に達したんですよね。

I think common sense is on life-support! I teach high school auto shop and because of a burn one of my students received, I had to place this warning sign on my oxygen acetylene cutting torch. Using this cutting torch, I had just cut a rather large bolt off of a steering box and the hot nut fell on the floor. A student reached down with his bare hands and picked up that nut, and of course burned himself. He then yelled at me for not telling him that that nut would be hot. I would have thought that the fact that I just cut it off with a torch and it was on the ground still glowing red would be a clue that it would be hot. So now I put a sign on the torch and I spend some time during safety training to tell them to not pick up a glowing red nut off of the floor!
