There are parts of the U.S. that are much more grounded to real issues that actually effect them and are not interested in the culture or political wars we commonly see on social media.

Glad to hear other parts of the world are still functioning socially but it is a shame that are politics are invading. Maybe its the new oil!

The moment AI discovers how to use prop comedy this planet will be doomed and Carrot Top will be chairman of the board.

Its easy to put out car fires but when it comes to the batteries EVs have its a different game. Entirely possible it started with one or with something else. But once an EV is on fire and the batteries go, theyll need special equipment and training to put that out. Likely they didnt have those.

I was permanently banned for reporting too many bots.

I appealed and it was reinstated but just proves the point of how bad the bot situation is there that a user reporting bots would get banned by an automated system.

Fucking clowns have no idea how to fix their shit and only adds more work.

Its almost like a single saying cannot be used to void an entire industry.

But her being a great singer will last forever. Which is what we are remembering. Kinda weird that people are shaming that. Celebrate peoples talents and the things that brought them joy, not what was controversial or brought pain.

Has anyone done the math on if Musk would give all his money away to all U.S. citizens how much would that be to each one?

Or even Musk, Gates and Bezos combined?

Update: A bot did the math: $723 and $1535 But after the cut from lawyers it should be about $8

Ive been called a nazi for liking firearms.

Meanwhile, I openly support antifa.

So im not sure this is completely accurate.

No shit.

“Buyers will pay extra for bigger houses.”

Who wants to pay me for my astute analysis?

Thats pretty much what is happening in Seattle.

Of places ive biked, it has to be the most pro car, bleeding edge of dying, designed by a moron area I have ever seen.

If you have trails its full of pedestrians, people with pets, homeless campers on the path and no clear markings for bicycles. So you end up weaving in and out making sharp turns and constantly having to slow down. Then theres the incomplete trails where you have to cross a parking lot, dirt lot, crossroad, some private property. Oh did I mention they have old railroad tracks that will really fuck with your tires and usually get stuck since some of them run parallel with the trail.

Then theres the city… where we occasionally have marked lanes but you better be comfortable getting close to drivers and hope that they have 360 cameras. The steep hills, heavy signage, usually distracting weather, heavy outsiders (usually first time visiting the city) and foreign drivers (have never driven in their life) are all a perfect storm to make any bicycle commuters life a living hell.

Finally we have the wonderful designated, cordoned off bike lanes… that really dont have barriers, usually just a flappy thing that has been ran over so many times no one really notices it. Delivery vehicles usually park in them because conveniently the city decided to leave the openings large enough for a vehicle to enter. You might get police, the occasional tourist parked in the lane too.

But hey! We are ranked one of the top bicycle cities in the U.S. and pride ourselves on force feeding that to everyone because we are a shining beacon of car/bicycle/pedestrian nirvana.

With a splash of Fantasia!

Thats the face of someone who just shat their pants and blames the youngins for it.

A few decades ago I gave a manager 2 options to solve a problem for the company.

1st was to take a simple engineered approach with a dash of automation to keep our lives simple but I would have to push out previously set deadlines

2nd was to just ignore it until it gets so bad that his managers finally give in to hire someone else to do it and hope that it gets done right after I leave the project

He chose the 2nd. It never got solved. They ended up hiring a vendor who screwed it up and it took a volunteer using unpaid hours on threat of being fired to resolve it.

It was only a few years later he became CIO for a major tech company and I lost all hope in humanity.

Yall realize that it doesnt matter how many users on the platform say fuck spez.

But the fact that those users are still using the platform is what investors/shareholders care about.

If people really want to fuck spez, then they wouldnt be on reddit. But who am I kidding, these are the same people who said fuck myspace, fuck facebook, fuck twitter… and still have accounts on them.

Musk’s everyday doings

Speaking of his everyday doings. Has anyone investigated all those underage illegal migrant children he has in his bathroom shower? Or was that just a rumor started on “the app formerly known as twitter”?

I havent stopped watching Horrible Bosses.

My uncle normalizes that. Been retired for 2/3 of his life. Sits at the town diner with his buddies bitching about how this country “Aint Americkahn No Mo” with their red hats and thin blue line shirts.

I just want the vehicles from Minority Report, is that so much to ask for?

Is this a post birth abortion?

I lean to the left on nearly every issue except when it comes to firearms.

For some reason I am called a nazi, bootlicking, qanon, magat, baby killer all because I believe we can have appropriate gun control measures while not outright banning every single firearm from those who do follow the laws, take more than necessary precautions to keep them safe and secure, while regularly training.
