  • This led to a very confusing discussion in the replies about the varying fares and systems of public transit in the Oakland-San Francisco area

  • You see, we will become the opposition party by moving to the right of the republicans (fox will still call us communists)

  • As someone forced to ride my bike right next to thundering trucks and cars on the roads every day, I can't begin to enumerate how many close calls I've had because there are no bike lanes here.

  • I'm on the bicycle commission for my city, and I'm constantly hounding the engineers for any kind of hardening of their planned class II lanes. They had the gall to say that they didn't like flexi-posts because they got hit and needed replacing too often and we were like "yeah, how do you think the cyclists feel?"

  • Dude, fox news has crammed rural folks' heads with so much terror, fear, and propaganda that they straight up believe that our cities- the very cities fox broadcasts from- are wartorn hellscapes brimming over with kiddie diddlers, drugs, and random violence. I used to work in a rural community with people that rarely went down to the central valley, and one dude in particular who watched Fox like he was gold medalist in it was always super freaked out anytime he/we went down to the valley. One time, he went to Modesto with another co-worker and, after they walked past one dude going the other way in a hurry, was like "holy shit dude, that was scary, I thought I was going to have to shoot that guy." Second co-worker was like "dude, wtf is wrong with you, that guy was clearly just in a hurry", but this clown swore that he felt their lives were in imminent danger.

  • Well, let's replace it with whatever they're doing for the AI companies.

  • how did you and your partner change after having a baby?

  • We think it's probably PCOS, but the death panel insurance won't pay for the test, so we're treating empirically. It improved some of her symptoms, but not that one, and I'm cool with it. I've accepted that this is our relationship.

  • Not if we're just giving it away to the richest people on earth to feed into a plagiarism generator, no. There's either IP law for everyone, and EVERYONE gets DMCA, or there's IP law for nobody. Nobody is above the law, including AI execs.

  • how did you and your partner change after having a baby?

    Jump

  • Well, the biggest change in our case was that she basically did not want to be touched for the whole pregnancy plus a full year afterwards. To provide some context and what I mean, she'd get annoyed with holding hands, and really frustrated with hugging. Physical contact is big for me, so that was really rough. Then, she convinced me that every pregnancy is different and that probably wouldn't happen the next time (it did). It's been over a decade, and I've basically just come to terms with the fact that sex really isn't a part of our relationship anymore. That was a really, really difficult thing to adjust to, but I did adjust to it. I eventually saw that it had to be a choice, and had to ask myself what was more important. I decided that I liked my relationship with my wife and my kids better than I liked sex. I'm not going to try and convince you that it's better; it's not, it's just different, and I'm good with that. Definitely not everyone would be, YMMV.

    I don't want to frighten you, OP, I'm just telling you my lived experience. It really is different for every person, and having kids is not an easy thing, so it's going to change you. You can't say how your partner may change any more than you can know how much you'll change in five years. Only you and your partner can decide what you're both willing to put up with. If you want to stay with them, do it. If not, don't.

  • Low-cost airlines to launch standing-only seats in 2026

    Jump

  • I'm mostly sure it's only that cheap:

    • because the train is a realistic alternative

    AND

    • they're probably operating at a loss or near loss and covering the cost from other operations (like if they're a subsidiary of a US company, for example) in order to convince people of how cheap and convenient air travel is. See? You don't need trains! Just dismantle your rail system, you can trust us to have a monopoly on your long distance travel.

  • Sleeper trains like Nightjet exist now, but you have to book weeks or even months in advance to find a seat.

    This seems like a really obvious demand signal for expanding the availability of this kind of service =\

  • Nooooo, haha, you don't need high speed rail, you'll hate high speed rail, it's too expensive to build, besides, remember the videos of how crowded the metros are? and you "hAtE oThEr PeOpLe", right? Here, do the fiscally responsible thing and pay a thousand dollars to get harassed by every federal law enforcement agency, stand in our taxpayer subsidized barely held together high speed low drag tube shoulder to shoulder and dick to ass with six hundred other people for four hours, and then die either because we just DOGEd the whole ATC except for private jets or because we dropped any pretense of holding plane manufacturers accountable. We can't tell which and don't care, fuck you, don't build the trains.

  • If AI is so good at coding - where are the open source contributions?

  • FTA: The user considered it was the unpaid volunteer coders’ “job” to take his AI submissions seriously. He even filed a code of conduct complaint with the project against the developers. This was not upheld. So he proclaimed the project corrupt. [GitHub; Seylaw, archive]

    This is an actual comment that this user left on another project: [GitLab]

    As a non-programmer, I have zero understanding of the code and the analysis and fully rely on AI and even reviewed that AI analysis with a different AI to get the best possible solution (which was not good enough in this case).
