There's no way this happened after the year 2000.

I haven't seen horseshoe used as a verb in... ever, but that still made sense.
There was another post about this a while ago. It depends on what app you use.
Does that mean that people who lose their ability to reliably form new memories (like anterograde amnesia or Alzheimer's) experience reality like a dream?
Clickbait. They basically say replacing contractors with AI is business as usual for Duolingo and that the real crisis is DOGE.
Here's the article:
Duolingo announced plans this week to replace contractors with AI and become an “AI-first” company — a move that journalist Brian Merchant pointed to as a sign that the AI jobs crisis “is here, now.”
In fact, Merchant spoke to a former Duolingo contractor who said this isn’t even a new policy. The company cut around 10% of its contractor workforce at the end of 2023, and Merchant said there was another round of cuts in October 2024. In both cases, contractors (first translators, then writers) were replaced with AI.
Merchant also noted reporting in The Atlantic around the unusually high unemployment rate for recent college graduates. One explanation? Companies might be replacing entry-level white collar jobs with AI, or their spending on AI might simply be “crowding out” the spending for new hires.
This crisis, Merchant wrote, is really “a series of management decisions being made by executives seeking to cut labor costs and consolidate control in their organizations,” and it’s manifesting as “attrition in creative industries, the declining income of freelance artists, writers, and illustrators, and in corporations’ inclination to simply hire fewer human workers.”
“The AI jobs crisis is not any sort of SkyNet-esque robot jobs apocalypse — it’s DOGE firing tens of thousands of federal employees while waving the banner of ‘an AI-first strategy,’” he added.
Thank you for putting this behind a content warning.
I mean, I still opened it, so that's on me.
“I got called on. I asked a question. The question was: ‘What was his red line? What would it take in terms of unconstitutional actions that the Trump administration was doing for him to finally exercise his oversight role and call for an end?’” Feiner said in an interview. “And he didn't answer my question. He talked about appropriations. So I was frustrated, and I did call out, ‘Answer my question, answer my question.’ And then the next person, he didn't answer their question either.”
Feiner said that she was then approached by a member of Lawler’s staff, who told her: “You’ve been warned twice, you’re coming out now.” Feiner said that she had been targeted since she arrived at the venue, saying that Lawler’s staff “immediately zeroed in on me” despite the fact that “my behavior was no different than 80% of the behavior in that room.” She said that she thinks she was targeted because she has been to protests outside of Lawler’s office and has been critical of the congressman online.
Lawler’s office did not respond to a request for comment.
In a widely circulated video of the incident, Lawler’s staff are seen attempting to remove Feiner, who responds by saying, “I’m not leaving.” His staff then repeatedly asked Jennifer Cabrera, who was filming a video of the staff’s behavior at the public event, to stop recording. Cabrera serves as the chair of the Westchester-Putnam Working Families Party.
The video then shows the crowd cheering “Let her stay,” as police pick Feiner up out of her chair and carry her out of the room. Throughout the whole video, Lawler is being booed by the crowd for dodging his constituents' questions.

There's a DreamWorks logo in the bottom left.
Easy to use, multi-threaded, light... weight? (I'm on mobile, using a VPN, so I'm guessing that's why it failed me. Unless...)
I would agree if we stopped making marriage the end goal of relationships.

If, like me, you were curious about what "disaster" is referring to, it's basically this:
The flight attendants are told to prioritize guard orders over prisoner safety (aka keep them in chains). And they have no evacuation protocols. If the plane crashes or people need to parachute out, the prisoners will be left for dead.
