Depends on if gig workers even count as employed. They should but they might fall under self employed instead of regular employed and I don't know how that interacts with this data. People taking multiple gig work jobs may only count as one job since it's all self employed.

The delineation between big cats and regular cats is pretty simple, big cats roar, regular cats meow. Cheetahs are thus the biggest regular cats.

Does that make bobcats the smallest Big Cat?

Common misconception, bobcats don't roar. They make chittering sounds like when your housecat sees a bird outside. The smallest big cat is a kind of leopard.

Sometimes animals do that, they see a human in distress and try to protect them. Most commonly with dolphins but there are stories of other animals coming to the rescue, usually pack animals.

ChatGPT can't parse image files so they probably just malformed the prompt. I don't know why they used ChatGPT instead of just typing out a product name, it would probably be the same amount of work.

He wasn't always a stray cat, had a loving home until jerks killed his caretaker. Got revenge but was still angry so kept being a red lantern.

This makes sense, any halfway decent marketing team with an art budget can fake gameplay footage. And it explains why these mechanics are never actually in the games advertised.

First and last time anybody did something like it. Apples U2 album is a text book case of marketing gently caress up now.

Edit: gotta say kudos to their network team though, entire userbase spent the better part of the day trying to download one album over their network and very few outages. Which just made things worse as everyone got their album on time.

Yeah that's right, shame them where it hurts, their pocketbook. If they get bad weird of mouth that says don't buy Product, it's cheap and lovely, they'll have to spend even more on advertising to improve their brand image. Which, if they spend money on AI art instead of traditional media, will just drive them further down the hole. Eventually they'll learn or the limits of your influence will be reached.

Eat out to help out was the dumbest loving thing, it was the middle of the pandemic and instead of encouraging everyone to stay at home and issuing tax credits or grants to restaurants to keep paying their staff during the slump they decided to issue coupons that would basically encourage everybody to go out and start a million super spreader events.

And kinda what adds insult to injury is that the ad is not even for anything particularly new or better. It's pretty much just the same pad as always except somewhat slimmer, which is arguably a change for the worse.

But it's the thinnest iPad ever don't you get it. Sure that means a child can probably break it chucking it around, but thin! Thinness is better! Sure the battery life is exactly the same as the last iPad because they used the better battery tech to make a better battery and the new chip tech to make a more efficient processor which could have resulted in a longer battery life if everything had stayed the same size, but THIN! Also the movement of the camera in the pursuit of thinness prevents it from working with existing Apple Pencils and only new Apple Pencils are compatible with it (and not compatible with older iPad models) but motherfucking THIN!
