I used to do this when I lived in New York state and would occasionally travel down to New York city. It was stupidly cheaper to drive (and faster - which WTF whhhhhy). So I would rent a cheap spot in a garage near the outskirts of the city for the day and use public transport for the rest of the day. I remember being mad that it was cheaper and faster to drive and pay to store my car then it would have been to take the train. That’s a problem. Especially when I had a train station in biking distance to my apartment at the time.

Vampire propaganda.

I’ve never met a real human person that loves AI. I’ve used it in very specific circumstances. I’ve met other people who’ve used it. But every one of those people share some variation of my opinion - It’s useful for very few things and trash for the 99% of other things. I don’t know who these lovers of AI are but I bet it’s the same handful of idiots who all run in one or two social circles reinforcing each other’s opinions on everything. If a person’s ideas can’t be challenged or they surround themselves with people exactly like themselves their minds are doomed to atrophy. Humans are coded to save energy. Talent and skill takes long grueling effort. AI allows the lazy to phone it in which allows the midiocre to cosplay as the talented. But AI is a tool. For people with reading/writing difficulties it can bridge gaps that previously required much more effort and many more resources. That independence has value, but AI is not a replacement for the novelist. Anyone who says that the sun shines out of AI’s ass or the sun never sets on AI or whatever BS they’re spouting is either a snake oil salesman or their mark. Neither should be given much oxygen.

Same. What the fuck, brain?

No. Worst are digit catalogs that don’t allow for renaming or reordering. Why can’t I fix how broken they are!?

I don’t care if they were the worst people on earth walking the easier hiking path on the nicest day of the year. None of that matters! They left on a hike TOGETHER, and needed to return TOGETHER.

Full stop.

Anyone who can’t follow that one simple rule has no business out on the trails.

DUDE! I hike. If you leave together, you FUCKING come back together. YOU want to break up, put on your big boy panties and do it AFTER everyone is home safe.

Also there is no such thing as “an easy day hike.” Anything can go wrong in the wilderness and lackadaisical thinking is what gets people killed.

To be fair, when they tried outside influences actively sabotaged the attempt.

The nazis fully admitted they were inspired by the US and how we treated slaves and genocided indigenous populations. And the US learned that garbage from their colonizer forefathers. Even now it’s a bunch of jackholes in America copying nazis. Xerox of a xerox style, which is why they all look so cartoonishly stupid in their evil machinations. It’s a circlejerk of one group of white assholes all duplicating each other because they think their skin and their money (never forget the money is a BIG FUCKING PART OF IT) makes them god’s special asshats.

Feels like an attempt to distract us from the madness of the administration’s antics.

But if you’re lost in a desert you should rub pee on your skin to conserve water. (I’m not kidding that’s a real thing.)

Scolding hot coffee that melts off your labia with a side of nationwide slander.

Soooo WWIII it is then?

No no they “fixed” that because people complained.

Supposedly.

Our treasure and our blood.

Edit: goddammit I hate saying that because it sounds like a antisemitic trope, but it’s fucking TRUE. The greatest trick Isreal ever pulled was conflating a nation state with a people and a culture.

Any time I hear anyone pushing driverless cars or AI without mentioning public transportation, bike lines, traffic calming, or walkability I know they are full of shit. Just like the people talking about EVs being better for the environment but never mention any plans for getting cars off the road. I want trains god damn it.

That’s a dude that knows their food is literal poison.

No one should feel obligated to be an organ donor. And telling someone they must because they “aren’t using their body anymore” is fucked up. If a person has to be coerced, guilted or bullied into giving the “gift of life” they aren’t doing so freely. If they have to be manipulated into it then it’s not a gift. It’s theft. Nevermind the fact that corporations make big bank off the organ and tissue trade by piecemealing out donors and sellings the parts, but no one talks about THAT because lives are being saved.

(I’m not against organ donation. I just don’t like that we use manipulation tactics to procure body parts and that there isn’t transparency about who is profiting).

Your neighbors. Ask around. Someone knows where he lives. Then walk him home. He obviously lives close by. And if you don’t know your neighbors, today is an excellent day to introduce yourself.

Dude lives off raw road kill washed down with drowner brain cocktails. I don’t think the portal is why his tum tum is upset.
