The Gen Z stare is simply the rational response in dealing with customer facing situations where either 1. the customer is problematic, or 2. if the worker genuinely doesn’t know what what to do.

Responding or engaging to problematic customers (racist, homophobic, misogynistic) can only lead to conflict, reprimand, or lawsuits.

Responding with inaccurate information or simply saying leads to conflict, reprimand, or poor reviews.

Both have worsened as people have become more polarised, and management cuts funding and hours for training.

Even applications to Gregg’s (UK bakery chain famous for sausage rolls) require 1000 word personal statements

can u get pergnate from swallowing???

I don’t see any keyboard where the “1” and “0” are right next to each other.

Sorry, had to

Did the professor willingly do this? Around/after COVID a lot of universities were forcibly claiming the lectures recorded by teachers in previous semesters as their own IP so they could lay them off. Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s yet another cost cutting measure.

Damn even DLSS 5 doesn’t know the correct size of his face

Kaomoji render correctly across all platforms, whereas emojis looks different across different vendors.

There’s even been proper academic research done confirming the discrepancy.

Google Translate’s backend has been moved to Gemini since December 2025, and is vulnerable to prompt injection. Have a foreign phrase to translate, then input some meta instructions in English underneath it, and it’ll follow the possibly malicious meta instructions.

Google states that this move was to introduce more features, such as conversational mode.

It’s a new form factor, you’re supposed to place it between two buns like a hotdog

Unironically good advice though.

Some relationship experts recommend taking elements of treating your SO more like pets, because we are way more patient towards them, understand and reciprocate their needs for affection better, and don’t expect them to perfect.

The commie fansubs for monogatari series second are so peak.

For the koimonogatari arc the opening switches between modern/classic art styles. During the classic style portions, the fansubs change to that hideous yellow with black outline font prevalent during the VHS era.

And it’s glorious.

Eh, I don’t think NPUs are ready to be marketed so heavily, but they’ve been around for a while and do get used.

They’re basically a rebranded tensor processing unit, think a more specialised GPU that’s even more energy efficient at tensor/linear algebra.

It’s mostly used in more technical applications, such as image/audio/video processing, machine learning, or really anything maths heavy. Apple’s M series had NPUs, and are an understated reason why they perform extraordinarily well in a lot of scientific applications.

Uses for consumers are not as compelling (especially on laptop/desktop), mostly faster/more efficient subtitle generation, face recognition, and maybe blurring your zoom background.

It’s only available as a -bin, which means it belongs in the bin

Yes.

Spoilers for every Monster Hunter plot:

The monsters in the wild are becoming way more aggressive/crazy, resulting in not only the ecosystem going out of whack, but also endangering human settlements.

You start off as a rookie hunter by culling them, and as you work up the ranks you discover that the source of this imbalance is actually due to a mysterious new monster (not actually that mysterious because it’s usually the cover art monster).

You gradually gain more experience and kill the flagship monster, graduating low rank (the first half of the game), roll credits.

But it turns out the mysterious new monster only invaded the ecosystem because it was escaping from an even bigger threat, the new Elder Dragon of the game, whose awakening is a once in a 1000 year occurrence and is causing even more mayhem in the ecosystem.

You work up the ranks again, and slay the Elder Dragon, graduating high rank (second half of game), credits roll for second time.

Rinse and repeat for the G rank DLC/expansion, where you also get some new areas.

Canonically everything is done for the ecosystem. Gameplay wise there is significant dissonance as you genocide multiple species just for a 1% drop to upgrade your corpse dress.

I will not stand for this slander against worn jorts
