Me, a foreigner, realizing my Dutch team never thought of me as part of the team despite working 10 years with them. For example, they used a photo of the team labelled as "best team" for something and it's a photo without me in it but with a Dutch person who even no longer works for the team.

This should set off a siren in every defence ministry in Europe: there needs to be much more urgency about developing autonomous capabilities, not subject to US caprices, for early warning of attacks, countering ballistic missiles, communicating with forces or controlling offensive weapons.

Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.

"I can confirm that tonight SpaceX has implemented a speed limit on Starlink terminals while in motion.

The limit currently applies to the StarShield “military package” and is set at 100 mph.

Our defense forces were not given notice of this limit, and this has resulted in the disruption of a number of missions.

It is clear that this action cannot be a coincidence and is related to the current political situation."

I am watching in real time my whole field of work shrink and shrink because everyone is trying to replace people with AI and I'm getting very nervous for my own position. And AI is doing a terrible job so far but not that any CEO cares

Why Harry Potter tv series reboot when The Hunger Games is right there? They could've rebooted with actual 16 year old actors, gone into the worldbuilding that was missing from the first movies and shown the character growth more than superficially.

After like 15 years I am trying to sell something on ebay again And my lord I forgot how annoying it is to list something there. There's so much info you need to enter. How they have not developed a system like Vinted I will never know

I love HEA in fics, the romance, occassionally even excessive fluff But for some reason I cannot stand scenes with public declarations of love? Or public proposals? Why am I like this?

There are still Lorde tickets left for Arena Pula concert (one of the most preserved Roman arenas in the world) but I have 2 small kids at home and can't make it work so I go 🥲

Non native English fic writers who write in English! A question for you! How do you make sure the language and grammar is acceptable? Beta readers? Spellcheks or some programmes? I have this idea for a story for years but I'm very nervous about butchering it with my English

RIP Glen Hansard, your music has given me so much joy. From old Frames albums, to solo new ones, to heartwarming live sessions from your kitchen during the pandemic, to the best live performances I have ever seen. You will be missed
