Man, that is a stretch and a half.

…Which makes it perfect for this community, I suppose

Not as familiar with WordPress, but if that’s the case, yeah, I don’t have high hopes for this going well…

Not as drastic as the headline makes it out to be, or at least so they claim.

“We acquired Tumblr to benefit from its differences and strengths, not to water it down. We love Tumblr’s streamlined posting experience and its current product direction,” the post explained. “We’re not changing that. We’re talking about running Tumblr’s backend on WordPress. You won’t even notice a difference from the outside,” it noted.

We’ll see how that actually works out. Tumblr’s backend has always seemed rather… makeshift, so I’m curious to see how they manage to do that. Given Tumblr’s technical eccentricities, a backend migration could probably do a lot of good for the functionality of the site, if done properly. I have my doubts that WordPress’ engineers will be given the time and resources to do a full overhaul/refactor though, so I’m fully expecting even more janky, barely functional code stapling the two systems together.

I mean, Christianity kinda does, too, but gay Christians definitely exist. Islam and its interpretations/practices aren’t monolithic.

That’s not to say that I think she actually exists - all evidence seems to point to Coty Craven being a con artist - but “gay muslim” isn’t necessarily a red flag.

A lot of the far-right chuds that would take Putin up on this offer are well above combat age. Now, using these people to make up the labor shortfall caused by the Ukraine war? I can absolutely see that one.

Either that, or he’d just pamper them in exchange for utilizing them as propaganda mouthpieces for his regime.

Didn’t Obi-Wan order a drink at that bar that he and Anakin went through while chasing Zam Wessel in Episode 2?

Just block it, damn

Same. And, to be fair, it’s a fairly well-paying field that requires some amount of specialized knowledge, but many applications of that knowledge are usually pretty easy to find with a bit of Google know-how, and use of Google as a resource is not only acceptable, but expected. I feel like that meshes relatively well with how ADHD brains work.

Ah, right, the joys of Brexit…

That has to be a GDPR violation, right?

It sure does.

It was uploaded 9 years ago. What sort of AI model was good enough to generate realistic video in 2015? Not to mention it was uploaded by Weird Al’s official YouTube channel.

Oh goddammit, I just got the joke. Well-played.

I mean I guess it’s a little bit of that, but it’s also kinda self-deprecating at the same time, seemingly self-aware that his own belief in Bigfoot is a little unhinged. To me at least, it comes off as much more lighthearted than the “I’m with stupid people” shirt.

This reads as satire to me I think

Yeah, I feel largely the same way. ADHD can have its occasional perks - it’s fun to hyperfixate on a topic of interest when I can afford to do so, and sometimes all the bits of random information that happen to stick in my brain can come in handy - but it’s not a “secret superpower.” It’s a disorder.
