Sounds like one of those shitty used car joints “no credit, no problem” that you sign your life away for a mediocre car.

One of the biggest walled gardens around. Also, they treat users like they’re stupid. No, you can’t do anything with your hardware or software that we don’t want you to. No, you can’t fix it, either. Windows/Linux you’re free to break shit, change whatever you want (not always for windows), repair a system you build yourself, etc. And I despise apple’s perceived “status” and premium pricing. We joke about #pcmasterrace, but there’s some weird social cache around messaging and even dating where you have to have an iPhone to participate. Tf is wrong with people.

I’m glad to hear it, even if it’s sad it happens in the first place. Just can’t let people get away with it.

Buch of trump witnesses got cushy jobs and pay bumps too.

Meh, im sure the rich fucks have contingencies for themselves, so it’s all good.

Yes. Die after everyone else does when they finally figure out that there’s nothing left to live for, money doesn’t mean shit if you’re king of a dead world.

Huskies are smart. They certainly could understand that a new “pack member” is creating problems for them.

Huskies are also named in a list of dogs biting, harming, or even causing death. They’re down the list a ways below dogs like Pit Bulls, German Shepherds, and even chihuahuas (but those little dogs are often very poorly socialized and not trained).

Good thing you’re not an expert.

If you thank god for letting you have your trumpmobile, you gotta thank god for crashing it too.

Let’s see how many CEOs get replaced.

Don’t forget the BoD are still human. They still want to profit by putting the AI in place of the CEO.

Well that’s the point. We don’t support them as a society. From education to health care once you lose your job, you’re SOL, and in this hyper-capitalist dystopia we keep tipping towards I don’t see that changing.

Participating. Reading news and community discussions.

Yeah. It will. Just not the gun control you think of.

Socioeconomic? Ok, let’s give everyone free education and adequate individual or familial financial means to exercise upward social mobility, that includes everything from child care so parents can go to school and work to health care so they aren’t slaved to the job in fear of losing everything.

You’re not wrong. AI is just another tool to scrape cash to the top while eliminating jobs. Could it realize benefits like doing specialized research and testing? Sure…but again, the results of that work are lost human jobs and scraping money to the top. We can argue about advancing technology in a horse cart driver vs automobile thing (won’t anyone think about the poor farriers out of work?) but we’ve already done everything we can to eliminate blue collar jobs with as much automation as possible. Now AI is set to attack middle class jobs. Economically I don’t think that’s going to work out well.

If you’re wealthy.

Saving Private Ryan or The Shawshank Redemption.

Both outstanding movies and heavy hitters as far as the visuals and storyline go. Getting to experience the landing in France, the terror of the knife fight, the satisfaction as the warden and Hadley got their comeuppance… yeah, that would be fantastic to experience again.

Guess I’ll wait for yet another free credit report monitoring service offers in lieu of anything substantial.

Stole this from the boomers posting it on FB.

We know when spring has hit in our typical suburban neighborhood. The constant drone of small engines. Mowers. Leaf blowers. Trimmers. Doesn’t matter the day, you can always hear at least one somewhere, but weekends are obviously the worst.

I’m doing my best to go electric. Electric trimmers are fantastic if you get a decent one. I’d like to get an electric blower, but reviews seem to indicate they’re not quite there yet in terms of power and useful time. We’ve got a large-ish lot, and an EV mower that could last long enough would easily be high 4-figures. Can’t swing that when I’ve already got a paid-for gas one, but I’d love to go all electric.

They are. Hence confusion with the signage.

Slang for women is “chicks” and a bit more archaic, “birds” too.

Bees have a…stinger? Dunno about that one.
