Punches For:
When a tiny studio posts on Insta or their blog that the "studio partner" or "founder" is doing something, when it's most likely just that person posting. Or their one intern doing it for them.
Knew someone who ran a two person studio and had business cards that called himself the "executive vice president" and his partner was the "founder".

Proud dads...
Took the bairn outside for the first time today - in my infinite wisdom, I'd bought a hippy wraparound sling thing rather than a typical and tech baby carrier. Once I'd got over how basic it is I'm actually happier with the choice - when I first pulled it out of the box though, I spent a good two minutes swearing at myself, thinking "this is just a fucking piece of fabric! I should've bought the fucking tech carrier".
Anyway.
I wish I'd paid more attention to the TV tropes of "man carrying baby" when I was younger - fucking thing's a pussy magnet. I've never had so many women gaze in my direction so adoringly - the hormones were practically visibly weeping from every pore as they gazed at what I can only assume they imagined as some perfect trinity of Providing Caring-Male Father figure.
Any of you lot still single and are reading this (why are you in this thread? Weirdo) - go out and borrow a baby. Start babysitting, whatever. Go for a walk in some middle class neighbourhood and watch them flock towards you.
It's fucking magic.
- True that. Plus the "secret" head node fathers give to one another.pr2
- They're looking at the babyJaline
- I used to joke to my wife about when I carried my son around nyc that I was passing up blowjobs left and right. Kids are major pussy magnets.monospaced
- Nobody tells you either that your arms and back get super ripped being a dad. You have to carry so much crap.monospaced
- Yes they are looking at baby, but the gazing eye contact is unmistakable. It’s not even as sexual as it is just admiration for the father figure guy maybe.monospaced
- lols you fucking self-obsessed saddoes. they're looking at the baby not you.hans_glib
- lol hans!BonSeff
- ughft. I forget how fucking literal people are on the internet. why do i post this shit?Nairn
- @hans, my wife noticed it most of the time, it’s nothing to do with ego. Plus it’s also just a fun joke. Relax.monospaced

so fucked. My wife works for local council here and a few months back one of the councillors got all upset at something at fully verbally abused her and was completely out of line.. there was a witness also.
my wife makes a code of conduct complaint, the general manager sits on it for months.. she keeps asking, eventually she joins the union and then all of a sudden, oh yes, thats already been dealt with, the councillor will meet with you in person but not with a union representative present.
and besides, the complaint was unfounded (even though a senior manager who witnessed it wrote a supporting letter) and so this fat piece of shit councillor, who fucking lords it over every person in there, and who everyone knows is a bully, will get away with it.. My wife was the first to actually stand up to her this fat cunt, and they fucking swept it under the carpet like it never happened.it makes me so furious.. I am doing everything in my power not to do something stupid.. but seriously, what the fuck... you get bullied in your workplace, there are witnesses, and the people who are supposed to be on your side, fucking throw you under the bus..
seething with anger at this point..
I would just tell her to quit, but fuck that, why should she quit.. its an ok job, close to home.. and its full time permanent.. granted she could be paid more, but apart from this fuckwit councillor, its ok there..
sorry, needed to vent somewhere..

Artificial Intelligence
is AI able to understand humor and generate comedy that can make humans laugh?

- humans have a hard time making other humans laugh. context and timing could be trained over time i guessimbecile
