While this is really awesome. Why didn’t they think about how Siri would react to this when they had to deal with the suicide queries? I don’t feel like it’s that large of a mental leap to go from “Wow Siri is really not handling people how are suicidal that well” to “I wonder how Siri is handling people who are under…

I don’t want to question too harshly the places people turn to for help in their darkest hour, but I can’t even get Siri to understand that when I ask it to find me a gas station, I mean a gas station in front of me, in the direction that I am already traveling, and not one that requires a U-turn or long detour…

The ignorant morons the GOP has cultivated (who are now supporting trump) have done a lot to lower the worlds opinion about us.Fox feeds the lie that Obama has weakened us, when he world opinion about him is just leagues ahead of Bush. Want a stronger us? we need to get our house in order. The rest of the world…

At this point, even if Trump loses, no one wins. He has giving a voice and leadership to an astonishingly large and hateful segment of your population. Its scary to watch, even from afar.

I 100% do not think this is a joke and I have not for a real long time, this shit is fucking terrifying

Great. All of this is just great.

So gross. These attitudes are still so prevalent and it’s enraging. Just last night someone I’m just getting to know, social worker btw, just told me she couldn’t eat at a certain restaurant because it’s “in the ghetto”, she “see police cars in that area all the time” and finally she “do[esn’t] want to get shot.” It’s…

This reminds me of the time I was trying on work pants at Sears and noticed that there was a sign saying “Shoplifters will be prosecuted,” in the dressing room. Below it was a second one in Spanish.

My mum was about as devoted to Princess Di as one can ever be. She met her when the Princess visited the Missionaries of Charity to meet to Mother Theresa and it’s still dinner table conversation 20 years later.

It’s the Republican thing that pushed me over the edge. Before that, I would have been perfectly happy to blaze up a doobie with Lovitz and have tartlets, or taco shells, or whatever. But clearly, I’m way too old.

I *almost* made it through the first paragraph before the revulsion kicked in and fortunately prevented me from getting any further.

Pursuing want adds:

Yeah, I think it’s the right word. Taylor’s posse takes other women’s social capital (their popularity and “coolness”) and harnesses it to her own, magnifying her at the center of it all. She is the Queen who unites all these girls and women she gets on stage with her, they’re her court. So she’s appropriating their…

Who exactly are we concerned about making feel better? Because I doubt someone who has just been blown apart by a bomb or the victim of a rape will feel comforted by the fact that the top comments on a post about their tragedy are people gushing over puppy pictures. And it’s every single upsetting story on here. So…

I find it completely inappropriate that every single post about something upsetting on this website turns into a place for everyone to post pictures of cute animals. Whether it’s a terrorist attack or a brutal rape or murder, it completely devolves to “Awww, frowny-face, the world is so sad. :(:(:(:( Now look at a…

The cat posting shit positively reeks of privilege. Here I am, looking at an article announcing that some of my close relatives may be dead or in life-threatening danger... And see a bunch of affluent american women using it as a venue to post pictures of their cats. When the next 9/11 rolls around I’ll be sure to…

Me either. I love pet pics and I want to snuggle all the animals in this thread.. But it is also a little bit embarrassing that in every tragic post on Jez, the top comment is kittens. It feels like our default reaction as a group is to be twee and I feel like we’re better than that? Idk imma shut up now bc I feel…

“It is terrifying to be somewhere and not know if you’re safe and what’s happening.”- spot on. I live in Brussels. I was here during the November lockdown, when the whole thing had an air of hilarity. People were tweeting cats to avoid giving the bad guys info. But there was still that feeling of “but we’ll be okay,…

Agreed. I think it’s sort of symptomatic as to how numb we have become to this...which is not a good thing.
