That’s not in the deepest, most troubling depths of the uncanny valley, so it’s not DLSS5.
- Comment on About to ruin your whole day 5 days ago:
My grandfather (a small plane mechanic and gadget guy since the 1930s) was always weirdly enamored by dashboard warning lights because, “In my day, you’d take the car for a drive on Sunday and spend the rest of the week fixing it. Problem lights would have been redundant.”
I’ve been thinking about nuggets like from him ever since acollierastro posted her spark plug video.
- Comment on Republican bill would order ISPs, DNS providers, and VPNs to block piracy sites 5 days ago:
They only want the freedom to be able drain the bank accounts of their
cattleconstituents into the bank accounts of the oligarchs who own them. - Comment on Green energy 1 week ago:
Gasoline is also used in making cocaine. Better to smoke pot and just put errands off until tomorrow forever.
- Comment on Sheeple... 1 week ago:
In my case, if they paid attention to my medical history it shouldn’t be much of a surprise to them, and yet it always seems to be.
- Comment on Be prepared 1 week ago:
Nah, just spend the week before the date going over all that stuff in your head over and over and over, making sure it basically the only thing on your mind. Practice ALL the conversations you’re going to have. over and over again.
Then when things don’t go exactly as rehearsed, panic and blurt out something stupid. If she laughs, she’s a keeper - and if she doesn’t leave she has flag color blindness.
Perfect system.
- Comment on I forgot something today 1 week ago:
You forgot to check your voicemail and missed the message that they finally found a compatible organ donor for you. Since you didn’t respond they gave it to a racist landlord who funds a bum fighting ring instead.
- Comment on how can I identify problems i'm having 1 week ago:
Ouija
- Comment on Road Rage 2 weeks ago:
I want to see the relative percentage of morons on the road who are also driving busses to skyrocket. So same am I not!
- Comment on Ignorance is bliss 2 weeks ago:
Getting my cat an email account has really fast-tracked his business, plus I don’t have to listen to the fax machine all the time.
- Comment on How do we stop people from defending billionares and trillion dollar companies? 2 weeks ago:
And how do we that?
It’s simple, we kill The Batman.

Poit!

They already invented this for me and aptly called it a dickey (the turtleneck variety).
- Comment on Can you purchase a burner phone anonymously in the US? 3 weeks ago:
Currently you can, but there was news last month the FCC is planning to force carriers to verify ID before allowing them on their networks.
- Comment on Ah yes, security. 3 weeks ago:
This is where oauth helps. I just log in with my identity provider of choice, and no one has to know I signin there with admin/password.

- Comment on Attorney general: ‘Everyone is Welcome Here’ sign cannot be displayed in Idaho schools 4 weeks ago:
Only boomers and hate group members are allowed in Idaho. That sign was false advertising.
- Comment on Me attending "AI University" at work today 4 weeks ago:
I’m required to use AI at work, so I skip training and have claude burn tokens on a summary of the transcript which I won’t read. Sometimes job requirements handle each other.
- Comment on For real though 4 weeks ago:
You’re welcome.
(I say as if there was anything useful in any of my deleted Reddit comments)

- Comment on You have to pay for those Mr.Flock 5 weeks ago:
I hate those “find every body orifice” captchas. Does an earlobe count as an ear? Does a Mercedes C-class count, since they’re exclusively driven by assholes?
- Comment on Quack Quack bitch 5 weeks ago:
I have a cat that would stop at nothing to get at any birds in my house. Feathered toys don’t last long and she has a long standing feud with neighborhood crows (who like to taunt her from the yard).
She’s an indoor cat and birds are outside friends - the balance must be maintained!
- Comment on You have to pay for those Mr.Flock 5 weeks ago:
Sphincter based age verification legislation is probably already working its way through several US states and Australia by now.
- Comment on ahoy 5 weeks ago:
Books are pretty straight forward. And based on what I see out on the high seas, video can’t be that much harder.

GOT EM!

Unless you’re specifically talking about their digital movie, music, book, or game services.

If that’s amazon, what does “Piracy” from Spirit Halloween look like?
- Comment on Was Pedro Pascal objectively "in everything"? 5 weeks ago:
I don’t have any numbers.
Personally I didn’t notice the attitude shift about him until the Mandalorian movie came out and it was obvious that he was probably on set for 2 hours for that top billing role, while doubles were wearing the armor in every scene but one. It, to me, seems like one part of a growing frustration with current blockbuster movies (the kind that really like to cast Pascal). Everything is green screen, stories are recycled, its all about marketing, and now the actors aren’t even there half the time any more.
- Comment on Volkswa what now? 5 weeks ago:
I never noticed before how the center of the VW logo looks a bit like the taint of a person with pointy butt cheeks.
- Comment on I could quit AI anytime I want to 5 weeks ago:
This is the 3rd of 4th time recently that I’ve heard someone, directly or indirectly, describe AI like meth. The first one was Hank Green when he said something along the lines of getting hooked on ‘being able to get things done faster,’ which is exactly how many people end up meth-heads.
