liv, (edited ) to news in John Oliver's campaign for puking mullet bird delays New Zealand vote for favorite feathered friend

The top result is already out. Obviously the John Oliver fans got their wish and Pūteketeke won. Thousands of them had to be disqualified for cheating, though.

We are all waiting now to see who is in second. Fingers crossed for the Fairy Tern, New Zealand’s most endangered bird!

We are “social animals” though. It’s normal for the social animals to attempt to regulate what each other does and how they treat others in the group.

You see this in apes, elephants, whales, etc.

liv, to news in Israel-Palestine megathread for the remainder of the weekend

I think Medecines Sans Frontiers is good?

liv, to news in Zelensky asks to visit Israel in show of solidarity

Never has the “Just a moment…” snippet view been more apropos.

liv, to news in You can now react to messages on Gmail | TechCrunch

Germany, France and Spain also have killed and kidnapped citizens.

liv, to food in Why Are Pepper Grinders A Thing In Restaurants?

I didn’t tell him, just sat there in shock getting my lap peppered.

If it happened to me now I would say something, but I was young and not that assertive, so was probably like a rabbit in the headlights!

the tradition and experience

Even though this happened over 20 years ago, I will never forget the experience I once had of a waiter grinding all the pepper into my lap instead. It was an upmarket restaurant, but I think perhaps he was on something.

Really? Where I live salt on the table or lying around is something in cafes, not restaurants.

liv, to feminism in ‘You Know What To Do, Boys’: Sexist App Lets Men Rate AI-Generated Women

For starters, nearly all of the imaginary women generated by the site have cartoonishly large breasts

That wasn’t my experience when I went there just now. I think maybe it learned from the author’s preferences more than the author realises.

I went there and clicked “pass” on everything and it generated a range of different body types of AI women. There were also way more heads without bodies than bodies without heads.
