prediction: Amazon isn't doing all these layoffs because of "automation", it's using "AI" as a veil to mask bad company finances. they got to monopoly position by undercutting prices and the model isn't sustainable anymore.

as a consequence, all the EU companies that are racing to divest from USA clouds and break free of AWS vendor lock-in are going to dodge a bullet—the upcoming economic crisis is going to hit Amazon hard, and they're going to pass on the costs to everyone still dependent on AWS.

@GreenSkyOverMe it is one single dead aunt and she's been dead for years, long before appearing in my dream last night

Here comes the women's train, my aunt tells me
in our tongue, está passando trem das mulheres,
see? Here it is, viu,
the women's train,
look, it's the wagon of the vain women,
who spend their pensions and children's support on dresses
and skincare, how they laugh!, the vain women,
and this is the wagon of the fat women who don't diet
and don't shave, the ugly women who don't care,
que foi? you can't tell who is which? no no one can,
they all mix together in the women's train
and they don't use makeup, or use too much
and laugh and kiss cheeks and get it,
my aunt says, her heavy wrinkles melted
from the mask of hostility she had all her life,
she seems a bit wistful, my aunt
looking at the women's train,
like a little girl she points happy: look!
the smokers come here to smoke
in the wagon of the women who hate children,
all the other wagons have mothers
but they're taking a break, no trem das mulheres,
and that's the wagon of the lesbians
with sweaty hair and open shirt buttons
they do sex all the time, the lesbians, and there's never
a boyfriend to watch & they never call a man to join
no cameras in the women's train, it's all for them,
look at that girl with green hair! me too, I get it eh,
my ancient aunt tells me, I get it why women
dye their hair green, and she mimics petting
a green-haired belle on her lap with ancient
hands.
there's the wagon of maids wearing jewels from madam
and that one's all illegals and whores
no one can catch them in the women's train
that wagon? oblique women of fibrous calloused hearts
razor sharp and sweet poison the murderers,
they can look like anything and be
anywhere, they hate men and trick them
and hunt the bad ones and drink their blood dry.
they don't feel anything anymore, they went thru too much
& their hearts stopped beating, my dead aunt tells me
with her eyes wet, and she doesn't have to tell me
that the other women respect them,
my eyes are also wet, we all have had some heart
deadened, frosty.
It doesn't stop here, the women's train,
but it exists. Did you see it?
I wake up.
It will pass again, my dead aunt
tells me, vai passar, viu?
Did you see the women's train?

ugh I got a big box of covid tests because it was a good price per unit but turns out they expire this year in September.

plus since it's an early 2024 batch maybe they're less tuned to modern variants like Nimbus that I probably got??

dang the "control" line is barely even visible, does that imply the test is already weak

now I have to complain to DocMorris and maybe ask a return and whatnot, every day some new boring thing I have to handle

hopefully they'll just give me back my money without requesting to ship back the product. not much to do with covid tests that won't react other than throwing them away after all

I wonder if there's a place in Germany where I can buy Vegemite in person

> The story goes that, at some point, the Caliph decided to round up the mukhannathun, and sentenced them all to castration. They laughed like jackals. One of them said this is simply a second circumcision we must endure, another saying they could finally become real women (death to truscum, though). One of them thanked the Caliph for sparing them the burden of carrying around a spout for urine, and another asked him, 'what use would I have for an unused weapon anyway?'

> As always, do make sure your sugar is actually vegan and hasn’t been manufactured using bone char.

the stuff USA people have to worry about

there should be a word for the very specific kind of gender euphoria you get when you see secondary sexual characterists that you used to be dysphoric about until you got rid of them, now embodied on a transgender person coming from the opposite direction as yours

it's like gender consonance but for reality as a whole. things are as they should be

someone told me about pioglitazone for DIY HRT:

> Both diet and exercise and pioglitazone improved insulin sensitivity, but only the former was associated with loss of intra-abdominal fat. Pioglitazone increased total body fat, which preferentially accumulated in the lower body depot in both men and women. WHRs decreased in both groups.

> …CONCLUSIONS In nondiabetic upper body obese subjects, increasing insulin sensitivity via diet and exercise accompanies reductions in visceral fat. Pioglitazone treatment also improves insulin sensitivity and lowers WHR, but this is due to a selective increase in lower body fat.

reddit anecdotes are positive about it used for this purpose. the risk profile of this drug seems high, though.

I would say I can't handle 5 hours of computer German without zoning out but I'm being harsh on myselves, if they were discussing these APIs in the Norte Pioneiro Caipira Portuguese that I learn on the breast of my grandmother I would still be zoning out

Portuguese uses two different verbs for the copula "to be", ser and estar. ser is used for relatively permanent traits like "I am a Portuguese speaker", while estar is used for temporary traits like "I am sleepy right now".

however "to be dead" uses temporary "estar" and not permanent "ser". that's because Portuguese speakers are necromancers

good morning! here's a tiny rattlesnake sitting in a bottlecap
