  1. Best to have armored infantry employed in a combined arms fashion, to help mitigate those risks. You know…tactics. Like those learned in, say, the 1940’s during a little skirmish.
  2. Was reading an article this morning about it. Her defense attorneys are doing what y’all do, and saying there was no evidence of fentanyl in the house or that she actually executed those things she was searching for. I mean…I get it, that’s what they’re paid to do. But damn, is that evidence admissible? Because it sure seems to fit the mold
  3. Wait…he’s saying that advertisers MISLEAD US???!!
  4. Yep it’d be a great way for them to reach a wider audience on their limited hours of operation, shit they make and dick jokes
  5. There’s plenty of subreddit echo chambers for whatever subject you want to feed your confirmation bias with.
  6. Well generative models are proving to have unexpected impacts, Reddit is certainly allowed to not provide that content for free to them or 3rd party apps, but the users have a right to voice their displeasure with the native app apparently being trash / shutting out 3rd party interfaces. Just like this place / Twitter, the value is in the user base and content they provide. Curious to see how it all pans out. Reddit does trend towards a younger audience, who love to mix naïveté and outrage in curious fashion…strongly political but don’t vote, validly criticize obscene corporate profits but don’t offer proposed solutions, etc. I’m not dismissive of their complaints, by any stretch, but this feels a little like facebook alternatives…Reddit has massive momentum in content and market penetration, competitors are small and fragmented, and many probably feel like me in that I have no interest in ‘starting over’ again (Fark, Digg, etc) for another source of that kind of info.
  7. I wish I was like 6’9” so I can get with Leoshi, cause she don’t know me but yo she really fine.
  8. How did that guy from Home Alone 2 get access to classified info in the first place?
  9. I blame these guys, who are in their late 20’s now
  10. Given your track record on accuracy around here I’m going to assume the opposite
  11. What about The Derel?
  12. I just irrationally hate the headlights
  13. Makes perfect sense to stop in North Platte, but wow what a full-circle moment to stop in (assuming) that insanely huge yard complex they have there.
  14. All CyberTruck makes me think of all the fingerprints my damn stainless fridge gets
  15. Until I read the article I thought this was going to be about TXTag
  16. “Intelligence officials”. Granted I didn’t read the whole YGIFy novel, but seems the key whistleblower is a retired guy and corroboration is via unnamed sources. Not sure how I’d feel about legit signs of intelligent life…I’m a firm subscriber to the ‘no news is good news’ camp, given all the nasty possibilities under the Fermi Paradox. Seems very unlikely we are the first, so maybe everything within earshot and our timeline of radio-astrology are just simple organisms…or maybe intelligent life is the great filter (behind us), and everything that’s made it to the other side is far enough that any signals we can detect won’t be here for millions of years. That’s about the only good way I see it unfolding. Everything else just sucks…intelligent civilizations existed but were wiped out by the great filter (ahead of us), or know to stfu to avoid being exterminated by the assholes out there, or we are too stupid to detect them, or The Architect is waiting to reboot the Matrix, etc.
  17. And there’s an absolutely monster backlash brewing among the users about it
  18. Throwaway culture in product design and manufacturing sucks ass. I’ve had so many products where you can’t find parts, or some tiny plastic piece breaks rendering the whole thing useless. My ‘favorite’ is this tire pump I have…typical Chineseum: housing is metal, hoses are all high quality, thing has a duty cycle of like 30 minutes, overall just a tank. The one shitty plastic piece is the 12v power plug for the car, which split apart after a few uses. Same thing with a vacuum cleaner…tiny clip that holds the handle to the body busted. Emailed the manuf, they had to replace the entire thing and I threw out the old one. Sucks.
