I don’t remember that, no.

When the smart car was released in the USA there was a 1 year waiting list because so many people wanted a cheap $7,000 car that they sold out everywhere. Then they stopped making small economy cars and forced the SUV down our throats.

People absolutely would buy a cheap economy car in the USA. There is sky-high demand. It’s just not fulfilled because our auto industry is a racket and they know that if only crazy expensive cars are sold in the USA people will have no choice but to buy them. Transportation is a need, not a luxury. It’s like pricing water at $100 a bottle when everyone lives in the desert and your $100 water is the only water.

When I isekai I’m going to bang a 80 year old elf. Under elf law they don’t become adults until they turn 100, but that’s not how it works under human law. I’m going to get her so pregnant.

Truck-kun take me now. My body is ready.

Hey I do this. It works every week until about Thursday morning.

I don’t like Fridays.

The blackbird is a spy plane. It’s not something they can launch a payload from, not can it do anything space related. All it does is go super fast and snap pictures. Conspiracy theorists are going to have a field day with this because the only thing NASA might want it for is to surveil UFO’s. There are all sorts of stories of energy orbs and weird stuff being seen and then helicopters showing up later, after they’ve vanished.

democrats will still be trying to prosecute the “january 6th high rebellion of legendary treason” in 2126 and will invent a new tier of crime above and beyond crimes against humanity to punish the people who committed the legendary treason.

So much this. It boggles my mind that I was considered an “essential worker” and had to work every single day of the COVID shutdown when everyone else was staying home and social distancing. But I never got a raise or a bonus. I’m treated like dogshit stuck to my boss’s shoe. Collectively Millennials are the current backbone of the United States workforce and we are expected to keep society running but we are treated like shit and are paid a fraction of what our boomer parents were making at our current age.

Three dead children isn’t enough evidence? Are you all fucking insane?

11 of those 12 jurors should never serve on a jury again. Fucking insane nutjobs.

I would pray to God that he loses, but God created this mess in the first place.

This is a train with no brakes and I’m just along for the ride.

I have health insurance through work and I stopped visiting the doctor because I never get any help. It’s like pulling teeth to get a medication I want and any concerns I have are dismissed entirely. If not for the fact it pays for emergency care I wouldn’t have it at all. If I get a serious injury I would absolutely need it, but for the past few years all it’s done is decrease my income.

I was called a essential worker during COVID and had to work every single day but throughout COVID and all this time post-COVID I haven’t gotten a single raise. How can my job be essential but not worth anything?

I remember Deepseek suddenly being much more advanced than the USA LLM’s. The Chinese aren’t trying to bake censorship and refusal algorithms into their LLM and thus are making much more rapid progress, and I think this is just the USA AI bros throwing a temper tantrum about it.

I went to college for IT and learned windows server. One of the things my professor told me is “if you build the monster, you must feed the monster” and that’s in regards to admins trying to set up complicated security systems to prevent their users from doing stupid things. Yes you can do that, but it wastes your time and causes you headaches. That’s sort of what the USA AI bros are dealing with right now.

Anyone running LLM at home on their own hardware is downloading the abliterated models that don’t refuse your requests. So what are the USA AI bros actually accomplishing by baking censorship into all their latest LLM’s? They aren’t censoring anyone except the novice users who don’t know how to run LM studio at home. And they’re giving China the easy victory.

I strongly disagree. Lol. The number of homes doesn’t matter. Land is land. Everyone should be able to own an acre at an affordable price. If greedy pigs want to gobble up all the land and keep it for themselves they should pay more. Only farmers should get an exemption for using land to grow food.

I don’t get what you people are talking about. “but I own two house son my land” like you want special treatment because you own more than one house? If anything you should pay even more in taxes. I don’t get it. So many rich people want special treatment for being rich.

IMO it should be very low for 1 acre, but the amount of tax you pay per acre increases with every acre you own. Farmers would get an exemption for agricultural land, but only if they bring a crop to the market so it’s designated as used farmland. This would prevent rich people with 1,000 acres from calling their private property a farm and paying next to nothing. Nope. Either grow a crop on it or pay uncle sam.

Rules for thee, not for me.

Pirating anything isn’t illegal anymore. If the government can pick and choose people and groups who don’t have to pay for patent or copyright, then there are no patents or copyrights.

Sony has never cared about its customers. I don’t know why people bought Sony after they ripped OtherOS out of the Ps3. Millions of people were using that and they destroyed it over something stupid. I’ve been boycotting Sony for over a decade and never understood why people bought the Ps4 and Ps5. Suddenly they all find out again. Well… yeah. This doesn’t surprise me at all.

The only way forward for many developers will be as indie devs. The corpos are going to shovel AI slop into our buckets and the quality games will be from indie devs.

I think I’ll be switching to librewolf at home. It can install mozilla extensions and comes with ublock origin baked in. Pulling a stunt like this is just going to drive people away from the Chrome environment. Corpos can’t help but shoot themselves in the foot.

It’s unfathomable to me that anyone would use this instead of VLC.
