  • It’s not just Facebook, I’ve seen it a lot in ads on mobile games and a lot of them look like they’re made for social, Tik Tok and similar. A lot of them claim to be going out of business, and the one that really makes me laugh is the one that’s obviously an AI-generated old man talking about having to shut down his decades-old business making hand-crafted leather goods. If the leather goods they sell are hand-crafted I’m sure it’s coming from a sweatshop in China or somewhere even cheaper, not an artisanal workshop from a single craftsman.













  • Early 40s male, a lot of the time I feel like a kid who’s tricked people into believing I’m an adult. Then I spend time with my kid and their friends, all finishing high school and looking at universities or about to start, and I realize I’m definitely not a kid anymore. That makes me feel a little old. I have more random aches, pains, and creaking noises, but I wouldn’t say I’m old yet. I’m older than I was and a little wiser, but not old or wise.

    I don’t like how much gray is in my beard, though.

    Fun fact: the shapes of the letters in a font can’t be copyrighted, but the file that defines a font can. The name could be trademarked, though, so even if you redrew a font you might have to give it a different name. If it’s not trademarked, though, that’s how you end up with several companies having their own version of the same font.
