@Molson_Hart I wish this ai slop journalism would go away. It's the same exact format for every story. It was compelling for the first 5 until you realize that a computer wrote a shitty story for engagement.

Lego used to run Legoland. It licensed the brand to another company which now runs it. This has been celebrated as a genius business move which not only allows them to focus on their core business but generates lots of cash. Maybe it was a good move in 2005, but today Lego is not only the biggest toy company in the world, but also has successful retail stores and produces its own movies. The Legoland I went to was not only not on-brand. It was magoo. There were times where I honestly wasn’t sure if I had left Legoland, it was so not Lego. And Legoland tried to sell me a $55 pizza which they didn’t even bake in the restaurant. But I digress… Licensed out Legoland might make money but it cheapens the brand and actually harms sales in a way that cannot be measured on any financial document, especially if you don’t know they license their brand out. Lego is the biggest toy company in the world making $3 billion usd + in net profit per year. Buy back your parks already. It reminds me of Apple being too scared to release a car. Companies in the West care too much about making money every single year. That’s not the point of running a company and never was. This “gotta raise prices and lower quality for shareholders” stuff is so whack. “Fiduciary duty”? What about the duty to your soul to do something great? C’mon Lego, you’re better than this. We all are.

@matchu327 @Simon_Ingari No, 5 o'clock would have been 2.

@Simon_Ingari Sounds like Wisconsin to me!

Boss: Quick question. Who cleared out the fridge? Employee: Cleared out which part? Boss: The alcoholic section. At 4:55 it looked like a bar menu. At 5:10 it looked like prohibition won. Employee: Ah. That. Boss: That? Employee: You said no alcohol before 5 pm. Boss: Yes, because I assumed everyone would drink responsibly. Employee: They did. Boss: Responsible people do not erase an entire fridge in 10 minutes. Employee: With respect, they followed the policy exactly. Boss: I walked past the lounge and saw three people toasting with beer, someone opening wine with office scissors, and Finance chanting like they’d hit quarterly targets. Employee: Morale was very high. Boss: One of the interns asked me if tomorrow’s “happy hour inventory” would be restocked. Employee: See? The team is already thinking ahead. Boss: I made one rule to create order, not a countdown to corporate Oktoberfest. Employee: To be fair, the rule did create unity. Boss: Unity? Employee: Yes. Nobody touched a drop before 5. Then at 5:00 sharp, the entire company moved like a synchronized drinking team. Boss: So the lesson here is that I accidentally scheduled a daily alcohol launch event? Employee: Exactly. The fridge wasn’t looted, boss. It was… policy-compliant enthusiasm.

@nettermike Ai slop

It wasn’t a comeback. It wasn’t a business deal. And it definitely wasn’t about football. Travis Kelce just quietly made one of the most meaningful moves of his life. He bought back a modest property in Kansas City — a place tied to one of the toughest chapters of his career. But that wasn’t the story. The real story is what he’s turning it into: The 87 House, a $3.2 million center that will help women and children escape homelessness, addiction, and domestic violence. “I don’t need more trophies,” he said. “I want to help people get back on their feet.” Some people chase legacy. Others build it quietly.

@ewray5 That's probably due to diet, and the fact that your drinking water is from the Mississippi which is the drain of half the country.

Louisiana consistently ranks among the states with the lowest life expectancy in the U.S., typically placing 48th to 50th. As of 2022 data, a child born in Louisiana is expected to live approximately 73.8 years, significantly lower than the national average.

@itsme_urstruly I literally take my cats for walks. They follow and listen better than my dog and don't run out in front of cars.

A man installed a GPS tracker on his cat to track its route while he was walking his dog. To his surprise, the cat stealthily followed him and the dog for the entire walk. cat was like "I miss you, but you don't need to know that" 😂

@KrikkeMark @StouderRory @HustleBitch_ Yup, even if you're not getting bookings, low price gets your shit guests.

@StouderRory @HustleBitch_ The problem is $69.00/night. You'll always get bad guests at rates like that. You're competing for the bottom of the barrel.

🚨 AIRBNB HOST DOES FULL INSPECTION AFTER 2-NIGHT STAY — INTERNET ERUPTS OVER WHAT SHE CALLS “UNACCEPTABLE” “Come with me to see how Airbnb guests left the place after a two night stay.” That’s how she opens the video with her phone out, documenting the entire property like she’s conducting a post-raid investigation. She walks through every room pointing things out: the blankets were used, the towels were taken down, the bottled waters are gone, the coffee was opened, and the trash was left inside the trash can. Then she zeroes in on the bathroom. She says she leaves two full rolls of toilet paper for a two night stay and claims they’re “always gone,” questioning how two adults could possibly go through that much in 48 hours. Two adults. Two nights. Two rolls. She also admits she’s scared to leave guest reviews first because she thinks they might “retaliate” with a four-star rating. In another stay, she even gave a $20 partial refund over a minor smart-lock issue just to protect her five-star average. There was no damage. No broken items. No party cleanup disaster. Someone actually stayed in a rental they paid for. Now the internet is dragging her. “Are we renting a room or being monitored?” “Should guests float and not touch anything?” “This is why people are going back to hotels.” At what point does hosting turn into micromanaging strangers?

Mi hermano volvió a mi vida después de 15 años. Yo tengo 32. Él, 35. Se había ido sin despedirse. Problemas. Deudas. Malas decisiones. Un día apareció en mi puerta. Más viejo. Más cansado. —Necesito empezar de nuevo —dijo. Mi esposa dudó. —La gente no cambia así de fácil. Yo no quise escuchar. Le di el cuarto de invitados. Le conseguí trabajo. Le presté dinero. Al principio todo parecía mejorar. Llegaba temprano. Trabajaba duro. Agradecía todo. Una noche mi esposa me despertó. —Alguien está en la sala —susurró. Bajé en silencio. Era él. Revisando cajones. Se quedó inmóvil cuando me vio. —Solo buscaba un cargador —dijo. No le creí. Al día siguiente revisé la caja fuerte. Faltaba dinero. Lo enfrenté. No negó nada. —Lo iba a devolver —dijo. Siempre dicen eso. Le pedí que se fuera ese mismo día. Mientras recogía sus cosas dijo algo que no esperaba: —Sabía que confiarías otra vez. Esa frase me golpeó más que el robo. No fue desesperación. Fue cálculo. Dicen que soy ingenuo. Yo aprendí algo distinto: La segunda oportunidad revela si alguien cambió… o si solo aprendió a mentir mejor.

@AlBuffalo2nite chatgpt has a way of writing that has become so slop its both easy to spot and atrocious to read.

Dude parked a blue hybrid Camry overnight. Morning came. No broken glass. No forced entry. No alarm. Just… access. Someone walked up in the dark. Opened the door. Sat inside another persons property like it belonged to the street. And here’s the part that should make you pause: The money was still there. $5 bill untouched. $20 bill untouched. Over $60 in Canadian currency sitting in a jar… untouched. So what was the motive? Not theft. Access. The interior was rummaged. Cables shifted. Items handled. Personal space invaded. And a pair of darkened lenses left behind like a quiet Democrat calling card. This is what happens when low-level disorder becomes routine. When boundaries aren’t reinforced. When consequences feel theoretical. It’s not about broken windows anymore. It’s about broken norms. First they check doors. Then they enter. Then they return… because nothing stops them. This isn’t dramatic. It’s daily life in cities where “it’s not that bad” is the standard response. Lock your doors. Install cameras. Stop normalizing intrusion. Because when access becomes easy… Respect disappears. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

Venezuela is not about oil. The genius strategy that few people know. Alaska + Venezuela + Greenland = game over.

@TailsWindsFI @ErikKaiser American football is superior on TV. Soccer is really good in person, would much rather be at a game than watch on TV.

@ErikKaiser Going to the game is a luxury... Watch on TV... My personal opinion is that TV is better after going to several NFL games and can barely see the ball... Horrible experience.

I’ve yet to see anyone really describe what’s going on here. I’m not sure the mayor knows either. But when “the people” believe they have a guy who can get a deal, and he doesn’t come through over and over, the public dopamine withdrawals become real. People feel and look foolish. And they then need to be quelled.

@HiThere144 @WyattCatarina That explains your ability. How do you get an EE degree in arts? BS?

@Ptdi5c @WyattCatarina and I'm not a Phd, I just have a lowly BA

This electrician takes one glance at a breaker panel and immediately solves a two year old mystery😅😬

@HiThere144 @WyattCatarina Those are hobbies. I'm not saying those aren't skills. An EE can do it on paper, but can't do their own practical electrical work to code or diagnose and solder a circuit board (from the 80s not 2020s) is funny to me. I'm sure you could, if given practice, just most phds can't.

@Ptdi5c @WyattCatarina That's not really true. I can do most things on a farm, I can butcher a hog, I'm very good with car stereo and custom fiberglass/lighting, I can sail a boat and navigate a ship, I can drive just about anything, I'm great w a rifle and good w a handgun, good under the hood

@HiThere144 @WyattCatarina That's the thing about phds, they don't actually know how to do anything. Theoretically, sure, but have them try to actually do something practical nope. I think it's akin to military, do t call me sir, I work for a living. (Btw I proudly do both good enough).

@WyattCatarina I'm an electrical engineer and I am extremely handy. I can service any electrical device in my home. I understand how a computer works literally from a molecular level on up. And when I need work on my breaker panel, I call an electrician. Knowledge and craft are not the same.

@TheQuartering What's funny is it wasn't him.
