PSA: Most people mistake satellite glint for chemtrails

Right, I did the same thing with my phone and a notebook for a week straight and it matched up every single time.

I think "AI assisted" digital art needs its own category in showcases

Asking the artists directly at a craft fair helped me see the difference between someone welding custom pieces and someone assembling pre-cut parts. Once I started talking about technique instead of just the finished product, the whole conversation changed for me. Getting that firsthand context made me realize a separate label would save everyone from making wrong assumptions right off the bat.

Thought the whole 'customer journey' thing was buzzword nonsense, but it saved my side project

Hold on, is a pricing sign and a card reader really the secret sauce to EVERYTHING? It sounds like you just needed better basics, not some deep marketing theory. I mean, I'm glad it worked for you, but calling that a "customer journey" feels like overkill for what amounts to simple business sense.

Showerthought: I miss when cars didn't need a computer just to change the oil

Hang on, an '89 F-150? That's the one with the straight six that'll run on fumes and a prayer, right? I keep telling people my old Chevy could sit for a year and fire right up, but these new cars forget their own name if the 12v battery dips below 12 volts.

Had a talk with a streamer who got deplatformed twice

Yeah, that "policy violation" with no details is pretty much standard. I had a channel flagged for "misinformation" once and they never gave me a straight answer either. My advice is to screenshot everything as soon as you get the email, even the whole page URL. Platforms use automated systems that flag based on keywords, so if he was linking to datasheets with certain terms, that could be it. Best move is to request a human review, but even that is a gamble. I ended up appealing three times before someone actually looked at my content, and they still didn't explain the rule I supposedly broke. Bottom line is you never get a clear explanation, you just learn what not to post by trial and error.
