I don’t understand why they’d make this a separate app and not a configurable setting in Messages.

Exactly, they were taking reservations at the $40k price for a really long time. I was looking to buy an EV in 2021 and at that price, it was significantly cheaper than anything being sold. I laughed at how fucking ugly the thing was, but it was so cheap that I didn’t hesitate to put down a reservation.

Then when it was released, it was like $100k. Ain’t no way am I paying that for that piece of shit. And in the meantime, Elon went full on Nazi. I could kind of ignore his dumbfuckery back in 2021 but not now.

Maybe it’s more common with databases and reporting? I’ve seen this a million times over the years with removing tables or reports. Then again, it’s possible I’ve only worked in places with poor data governance.

Sounds like you need to live life more dangerously.

It’s impressive and also a little bit depressing how accurate that quote is from almost 2,500 years ago. Shows humanity really doesn’t change.

Maybe the user was banned because of bad design?

Here’s an image of the playing cards, for anyone who just came to the comments.

I read the first book and had absolutely no fucking clue what was happening. Do they get better? I feel like I needed to be doing cocaine at the time.

What absolute fucking dumbasses…

You kind of answered your own question there.

Yeah exactly. You can’t force arbitration on a YouTuber or other affiliate because a user agreed to your Terms of Service. I know our legal system is fucked, but it’s not that fucked.

Also worth noting that they don’t actually find you the best coupons available. They partner with retailers to get an approved list of coupon codes that they will allow. So claims of always finding you the best price are just false.

ABC News reported that Trump’s second-inauguration haul is on track to shatter the previous $107m record, as pledged contributions have already exceeded a $150m fundraising goal. Barack Obama’s inauguration raised $53m in 2009 and $42m in 2013, and Joe Biden’s raised $63m in 2021.

Wow text on AI images has really improved in the last few months.

There are very few good use cases for AI, but sales people continue to peddle it for fucking everything.

Yesterday I was driving and my Android Auto asked if I wanted to enable AI to summarize my text messages. In what world is that a good idea? Text messages are already short. Why would I need a computer trying to make it shorter and potentially fucking up all the context?

Can’t go wrong with the Goat Simulator soundtrack. https://youtu.be/DHdpuzqD2wg

Wheel of Morality, turn turn turn. Tell us the lesson that we should learn.

“Finger Prince? I didn’t think so.”

It’s Alpha Centauri C that’s really fucking things up for generations of Trisolarans.

I’m kind of surprised that the YMCA dance wasn’t in the YMCA music video. I had always assumed that would have been where it started. I guess the dance came after.

My wife lost her wedding ring in May. We eventually found it in November. We were pretty actively looking for it for the whole time. Checked all the vents. Moved the over, fridge, dishwasher, bed, washer and drier. You name it, we checked it. Eventually disassembled the sectional couch and found it under one of the sections. Which was weird because there were no gaps that it should have been able to fall through to get under there. Like, you couldn’t slide a penny under the couch.
