@eruonna @alice I'm now imagining a cat the size of a newfoundland. It would basically be a snuggly domesticated cougar. I would be entirely alright with living in this world.

@alice
I'm going to replace cats with pterosaurs because I really want those to exist.
I'm replacing dogs with cats because I refuse to live in a world without cats.

@Sheril Such a gorgeous bird!

@mlevison Goodhart's law in action. Actually, I'm not sure it even is an example of Goodhart's law. Raw quantity of code output would never have correlated strongly with quality. What do they think they're doing‽

@eruonna The idea that basic food and shelter are things that people can "not deserve" is deeply troubling to me.

@FediTips I just glanced through the article to see how you were using the word. You even explained how you were using it and why while acknowledging that other meanings exist. I would give that an A+ for communication. I'm sorry someone decided to be mean to you. I hope one day they learn to chill out and help people instead.

@catsalad The kitty is asking if I want to hug them.

Yes, yes I do.
