WARNING
Warning on package of peanuts:
WARNING - May contain nuts
I mean... duh?
Did someone complain and say "How dare they put peanuts in my peanuts!"
M is for Maud who was swet out to sea

Online news
Has anybody else noticed that all news headlines read as clickbait?
Crap like “This happened to the Pope and you won’t believe it!”
“San Francisco Created a Car-Free Oasis by the Sea—and It’s Driving Locals Mad”
“You’ll lose your mind when you make these scrumptious muffins!”
I rarely look at news anymore but when I do it makes me want to puke.

AI slop
Someone on Reddit bragged about using AI to make 1200 lines of code to turn on a light.
Am I going nuts? What the f@@@ is going on here?! And it got tons of comments “Congratulations!” I mean TURN ON A LIGHT?!?
Yeah we’re fucked.
Nope
The hubz wants to go out today. I was going to order some eddies to pick up on the way, but the gummies I usually get aren't even shown on the web site anymore. In fact, the things they usually have are no ON SALE for the same price they've always been. MA is proposing to do away with legalized cannabis for some stupid fucking reason. Now they're panicking. I think we're pretty safe though. Nobody wants to give up their smokes/gummies/tinctures. I think Moms for Involuntary Celibacy and Boredumb are going...
Weight loss getting old
Starts out as "I'm doing great!" and goes to a vent. Ain't I a stinkah?
I'm on drugs to keep my blood sugar under control. They're working a treat. I take a lot of meds for a lot of things and they're all working perfectly. Go figure. Side effect - I've lost a shit ton of weight.
I'm back to the weight I was 25 years ago. Know what? I don't feel any different. Supposedly when your body loses weight, it eats up muscle before fat. Nice design. SO I'm lighter, but weaker too. Everybody says to get exercise....
Too much
Just how much pumpkin spice is too much pumpkin spice?
The world may never know.
G is for George smothered under a rug
Continuing my daily Gashlycrumb Tiny post
F is for Fanny sucked dry by a leech

Questionable practices
So my company has resorted to sending several test phishing emails a day to test people. If you open just one of them you get written up, dinged on your performance review, and you have to take a 30-minute cybersecurity class.
Does this sound normal to anyone? I smell another round of layoffs coming. That's probably why my manager keeps asking me if I've been using AI - if you don't use AI it reflects negatively on your yearly performance review.
