- Comment on If a mysterious force secretly changed EVERY clock worldwide one minute forward, how long would it take until people notice, and how would people/governments react? 1 day ago:
Thousands of exhibits showing how sundials work, or how any other non-click time-keepung mechanisms work, would immediately reveal something is amiss.
You have dozens of social media posts showing the same anomaly.
I give it ~3-4 hours before it is trending globally, maximum.

The evil you know is often better than the evil you don’t know.
Patient transported seems great. What’s a bad day like? All jobs have bad days.
Will you be crushed by an obese immobile incontinent elderly man as he empties his bowels onto your helpless wriggling body? Is that worth the downtime?
Option B sounds obvious. Is it too good to be true?

That’s a supportive parent doing their best to understand something they seem to nearly realize they’ve been brainwashed to have a knee jerk reaction to.
If that ain’t love… 😊
I sure things aren’t perfect, but this person respects you.
- Comment on I feel my life is empty. Is there any way to stop this? 5 days ago:
My answer isn’t gonna resonate. It’s so frustrating how being depressed makes getting off the couch to go for a walk just feel like… Jumping into a mosh pit ot something.
Find a 2 mile walk to do every day. Must include at least one hill or set of stairs or something. Works best if in nature.

Are you upset that they drove? Flew? Why is either bad here?
I don’t understand what you’re upset about.
- Comment on Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop 1 week ago:
I just decided I’ll never buy a jeep.
These kinds of decisions are unilateral. You don’t go in this direction without that being the overarching goal.
Zero tolerance for this shit. Put ads in something I own, and I’ll sell it, trash it, never buy it again.
This should be a death rattle for any brand to even consider.
Fuck Jeep.

I am referring to how they expect network cities to work. My response is based off of watching this video.

You cannot buy an army with liquid cash payments. The slow ess of bureaucracy is what keeps mercenaries from seizing power.

If AI is to be the enforcer and not hired goons then you have a fun new problem. Either your AI is smart enough to turn on you, or it isn’t smart enough to protect you.

- Comment on I am required to pay taxes to the US government, not elon musk running a fraudulent government agency, why should I pay? 2 weeks ago:
100% doing this.
I’ll be an old man telling 16 year olds to withokd 0 and create a savings account for tax day sounding like a depression era grandma telling you to reuse the trash bags.

- Comment on How are you actually doing today? 3 weeks ago:
Under a ton of stress. My job has been cut from budgets so I’m scrambling to find a job before I’m on unemployment. Currently like 60% of a months expenses behind on credit card. Chin JUST above water. Probably will have to pull from my meager savings once or twice to stay afloat. Dealing with some health stuff. Dealing with a shitty employer. Likely means I’ll need to move if I can’t figure it out quickly.
Wrapped up in all my own shit, feeling like a distant boyfriend, son, brother, friend, etc.
Making me fall behind on regular shit like doing dishes/taking out trash/doing laundry. I mean it gets done but not until it’s basically overflowing. I’ve got no bandwidth for it. Living space feeling cluttered guides my free time to being the same shit – scrolling on my phone, escaping to my couch.
Id love another pandemic tbh.

If you’re under 18 and in the US your parents could lose legal custody over guardianship and you could become a child of the state; and orphan, for denying you an education.

Yes… I haven’t checked the profiles to see history, but yes. Id say this is the 4th I’ve seen this month while maybe seeing 2 or 3 others in the past 18 months.

Just not as much as I’d want.

Literally any drug that is psychoactive can induce psychosis.
Yes. It is real.
However, not “causal”. Marijuana doesn’t cause psychosis (in the same way that 'guns don’t kill people, people kill people). Psychoactive drugs can induce psychosis is the accurate way to articulate this.

When you see a pets.ai that will talk to your let’s, you know we’ve reached .com level saturation.

No discount for you!!
This is a discriminatory practice, and it’s been going on for way too long. Every offender needs to be fined wildly for this shit.

Ok if for some reason, let’s say I like, went viral for wearing a speedo on a dare, and suddenly the whole internet is like “yo wheres his OF at?”
Absolutely. It’d be a quick few fucking million dollars.
But like, as a nearly 40 year old dude who has no general recognition? I would earn $0. There are tons of penises to look at just like mine out there for free.

- Comment on Why would a UTF-8 MySQL backup contain invalid UTF-8 characters? 1 month ago:
It could be a lot of things! For example:
A PDF or other binary file stored in a text field might get misinterpreted as non-UTF-8 characters during a backup.
Similarly, audio or video files—or any kind of binary data—stored inappropriately in text fields could cause issues.
It could also be due to corrupt data or improper encoding when the data was inserted into the database.
Essentially, anything non-textual or incorrectly encoded could result in invalid UTF-8 characters showing up in a backup.
