The move between seeing “your brother in law took the kids to the zoo” to “your brother in law liked this trash article” was such a jarring transition.
It was awful.
“Oh, look. He’s a little bit racist. Now I get to know that. Thanks Facebook.”
I’ll wait and see if they can add some AI to it. But if they can, I’ll invest my entire life savings.
I see you subscribe to the Wolfwood school of pacifism: “I didn’t kill anyone!”
Yes. That’s what AI actually adds - plausible deniability.
My partner and I used to use location sharing pretty much 100% of the time. We just felt better knowing we could find each other.
But today, we do not, because the trust is shattered.
Google just cannot be trusted with our locations.
kindness seems pretty exclusive to white people.
I suppose big portions of history would nod quietly at this, if they could.
With maybe a clarifying note that the real goal was classism, and racism was just a convenient way to achieve more classism.
I keep expecting Jeff Bezos to get angry at the portrayal of Lex Luthor to top it off.
Thank you for sharing this. Patman was a delight. He made some of the best “History of” videos for classic games.
RIP Patman QC. He will be missed.
THANK YOU. I AM PLEASED TO JOIN THIS DISCUSSION AMONG FELLOW NON-ROBOTS.
" ((Candidate who Lost)) ((Previous Election Year))" bumper stickers after it has been a few years.
It feels needlessly divisive.
Although I saw a “Bob Dole '96” in the wild recently, and I kind of grudgingly admire that level of procrastination.
“We could be in serious legal trouble.”
“Don’t worry. My billions will protect me.”
Tbf, the tsp by default I believe throws your money in a G fund which is basically bonds iirc.
Most funds now default to a “target retirement date” type of fund that correctly offers stocks early and moves into bonds later.
please stop taking absolutely everything as a permanent debate.
But I think there’s a case to be made that everything is a permanent debate. Let me just paste a quick wall of text here on the topic…
Sorry. Just trying to make you laugh. I will see myself out.
That’s exactly my experience, as well.
The PineTime is the best current option for a pebble enthusiast, since the Pebble.
But I still have to charge the PineTime every week or so, and that is with the screen off most of the time.
I miss the Pebble’s battery life.
That tracks with some human social groups I have met or been welcomed into.
There’s usually one or two guys who are willing to play the “big scary” when necessary to get rid of creeps. The rest of the time they’re usually the chill ones whose couch anyone can crash on.
I guess that is a kind of leadership, in itself.
But they usually aren’t the one who decides which theater to go to.
I don’t see how even Amazon can try to kill the competition in a market that huge, regardless of price or convenience.
So I assume you wrote this after picking up groceries from your locally owned grocery store? Because you still have one - it didn’t collapse due to a Walmart coming to town?
Most of us have a solid example of what driving a grocery store out of business looks like, though.
“Not everyone in the union will celebrate this corporate partnership. Some members have legitimate concerns about tech giants shaping classroom priorities through financial relationships.”
When has a corporation and a Union ever not seen eye to eye?
(Please don’t answer. This is sarcasm. Otherwise RIP my inbox.)
Or do I just have a really weak electric stove?
I think you might just have a really weak one, or poor compatibility pots? I’ve had both, and if anything my gas burners feel a little slower and cooler than my induction stove did.
Wow, I totally missed the part where Microsoft had a gun to your head.
Yes. Microsoft is good at hiding that part until it’s too late to do much about it.
I text my friends. I assume that everyone else just thinks I died.
