Great recommendation and knife user therapy in one post. Thanks!

Be careful… If you get in an accident I guaran-god-damn-tee you they will use it as an excuse not to pay out. Maybe after a lawsuit you’d see some money but at that point half of it goes to the lawyer and you’re still screwed.

I actually think you’ve just described the current political climate in the US.

Seconded. But… Sometimes the only place I can find the answer to an obscure issue I’m having is a comment on a nine year old reddit post six responses deep.

I do find it with Kagi, but I still feel dirty every time.

If they’re lying about the casualty rate then even rational people aren’t given the facts to make intelligent decisions.

I’d bet if they were told the truth no amount of incentive would get them to sign up.

My Pre and Kyocera 6035. Never forget.

But, but, how will we monetize it? How!?

I long for the early 2k internet. So much potential positivity for humanity.

People not getting things that seem obvious is an ongoing theme, it seems. We sat through a presentation at work by some guy who enthusiastically pitched AI to the masses. I don’t mean that’s what he did, I mean “enthusiasm” seemed to be his ONLY qualification. Aside from telling folks what buttons to press on the company’s AI app, he didn’t know SHIT. And the VP got on before and after and it was apparent that he didn’t know shit, either. Someone is whispering in these people’s ears and they’re writing fat checks, no doubt, and they haven’t a clue what an LLM is, what it is good at, nor what to be wary of. Absolutely ridiculous.

Never relax… The universe can sense when you’re content and will balance itself.

What’s that sound? Is it supposed to make it? Did it make it before? Is that wet? Why is it wet? That bug is new, haven’t seen one like that. Electric bill is higher this month. Got the escrow statement; it went up again. That crack… Seems longer. Door squeaks again. Was the drain recessed like that? Are you sure? That’s loose, should probably do something about it. Gotta run to the hardware store. They’re backordered on that thing that melted in the fire. The AC is dripping again. Is the water pressure lower than usual? What’s that smell? Is it coming from under there? Why is the milk spoiled? Is the fridge warm to you? Grass is long again. Sprinkler got run over by a neighbor. We need to do something about the dead tree.

Literally things said at my house IN THE LAST THREE WEEKS. Holy shit why.

Not a bad list, but 6/9 being there and not pi or 11/32 is just criminal.

Labelling this conspiracy means you haven’t been paying attention. This is exactly what they’ve been using lawsuits and settlements for over the last 18 months. That and the crypto bullshit to funnel bribes.

That’s awesome! Well done, and keep up the hard work. Don’t forget to stretch.

I was thinking, “Glad these are all of the monkey running away. Seeing that running at you would be terrifying.”

Moments later, “Yup, I would shit myself seeing that little guy barrelling at me like that.”

Yeah, sounds like sustainability is going to be an issue. I definitely could not do that with any regularity, now.

Don’t be afraid, fellow senior! Old age has its benefits.

I’m sure the benefits will kick in any time now. Any time…

What time do you get up?

Alternate title: “The Atlantic publishes a story about MAGA that everyone with a brain knew for at least eight years.”

Welcome to the party.

To be fair, The Atlantic has been much better at addressing these issues than the rest of MSM, but still not far enough.

Bet you’re not worth $100+ million. Then you’d get it.
