Coca-Cola is once again using generative AI to reimagine its classic Coke caravan holiday commercials, and in doing so, killing some of the festive joy you have for the brand.

Oh, you got me fucked up for someone else, The Verge. A soda manufacturer shilling their product does not bring me, nor anyone I know, "joy".

Far miss on this. I'm too lazy to even look into new instances to move off of .world, let alone manage multiple accounts.

Hi friend, just to understand, what sort of language would you prefer be used that carries the same weight and connotation to the target of discussion? I'm struggling to find other words that weild the same intentions that couldn't be categorized under "ableist".

A lot of professors are overworked with classes and programs too. One of my girlfriends uas a professor for anatomy who teaches two full college courses before going to her massage school to teach anatomy. She says you can tell that the professor isn't really there mentally. Sge never actually prepares for the courses she's supposed to be teaching, but you can tell us just from exhaustion. I wonder how many are like that and just forget what coursework they're currently preparing for others.

Out of curiosity, what businesses are you getting these straws from? The few times I got a paper straw I didn't really notice an issue other than the texture on my lips. I wonder if those companies are just skipping on the quality. The good paper straws probably cost more than the plastic ones right now and I'd bet their trying to meet the same margins, or tighter.

I believe they're referencing how some users simply want nothing more than conflict. So if you say that you like one thing, they will choose to interpret it to mean that you hate all other possible things, and then critique your opinion about liking a thing, as though it was hate speech of all other things. They do this simply to elicit a reaction from others.

Cars are much wider now than they used to be. Garages that were built more than 50 years ago likely are thinner.

Yeah exactly this. Can't give an accurate food review if you can't eat it immediately as presented. And if one-sided phone calls in restaurants weren't bad enough presenting loudly to a camera would likely get you walked out.

I guess walking should be outlawed too, after all someone could be walking on a sidewalk and accidentally bump into you and knock you into the street. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I'm not sure I see that either, those generations know how dangerous and damaging monopoly is. You're not a monopoly fan and still have friends or family....

I always thought the hallway bunks were for on-call positions to get rest in between work, not meant as personal bunks.
