   So? Risk it. Make a (very small) stand. We're talking companies that are almost monopolies or at the very least duopolies.

   Exactly. There was a story a few weeks back about a lot of the CDC top brass basically resigning in protest. I'm just thinking "yeah go ahead and pat yourself on the back with your NYT OpEd about your pyrrhic victory while RFK ins

   I always hear this but I've never found this. The couple of times a year I eat McDonald's I check and it's the same. There are specific deals they'll have in the app like "2 filet of fish for $7 instead of $4 each&q

   The cheeky response to that is: At that point you might as well have just installed Linux :)

   Have we gotten major advancements in the last ~year? Not being facetious, genuinely asking. I don't see it from my end but then again I don't really use much more than ChatGPT a couple times a week.

   There's also the symptom that almost our entire society is addicted to staring at their phones for at least 4 hours a day. Go literally ANYWHERE and just look at the people around you if you don't think so.

    I read this comment three times and I still don't understand what you're trying to say. Not trying to be rude, just saying.

    there's a big leap between "every vehicle code" and something as simple as "using a turn signal properly" and "not camping in the left lane"

    No I wouldn't be bothered because I actually do those things. As should anyone driving. And they're not felonies, they're cheap tickets that probably won't even add points to your license.

    Ultimately I wouldn’t support this level of snitching (especially in our current political env) but I’ve had the idea of: A bounty program to submit dash cam video of egregious driving crimes. It gets reviewed, maybe even by AI initially an

    I think a lot about this (bad drivers) and I’m not really sure how to fix it since I think it’s really a problem of underlying selfishness and perceived-exceptionalism mixed with overestimation of skill.

    I saw something weird on a red-eye recently that maybe someone can explain: We were going over a pretty rural area. I saw what looked like the fan of headlights but in these large marbleized shapes like large lightning-crackles. They just s

    I hit Ctrl+Shift+D on dozens of tabs multiple times a day. Browser search does work pretty good tho for something like pulling that specific article I saw on the New Yorker last week or the new pizza restaurant I came across last month.

    I guess they’re only commercial, right? I’ve tried to get them at every place I’ve lived in Atl and they’ve never been available. A lot of places you don’t even get to choose between Comcast/at$t - it’s one or the other.

    Even “Immigration policy” is a Trojan horse of priority if ICE is squaring up against protestors and activists.

    I wonder what they do with them when they’re returned. Ship em off in pallets to e waste buyers in China I would guess.

    They’re so good. I was always a pilot g2 guy but I picked up one of the jetstreams at a 7-11 in Japan for like a buck and it’s just the perfect pen.

    Archive.org remains undefeated. Fond memories of flipping through Sears Christmas books as a kid and getting to the NES games where they had one tiny screen shot per game. Something like page 514 here: https://archive.org/de

    Sounds similar to Mario Wonder as well, where basically the world map is playable with stuff to do and find. I think I see what they're going for now. Probably some collectables, stunts, hidden levels, etc.

    They already sold their souls to greed long ago. The hollowed husks that remain aren’t capable of seeing past the shining promise of more.
