They certainly charge enough to pay these people that much, I can’t find any concrete numbers but it seems like the consensus is that the ride share company takes between 25% and 75% of the ride profit. What a racket

No, I live here.

I hate

• religious zealotry
• massive dichotomy in polotical ideologies
• identity politics
• warmongering
• brainwashing (pledge of allegiance?!)
• poor treatment of poor and homeless
• prison complex
• poor education system
• incredibly expensive healthcare
• terrible zoning laws and car centricity
• hiroshima, native genocide, iraq, and so many more. The US has shed so much blood and terror inflicted on the world population
• world police, vigilante, the US is basically every bad movie villian in country form
• regressing views on women’s rights
• the history of slavery

Could be a really bad sunburn, the image isn’t super clear. Google “sunburn blisters”

I can’t think of any directly recursive books, the closest I can think of is

By dakota krout, keep in mind, knowing this detail spoils a fairly big reveal in the series so proceed at your own risk.

“rips” “drags” “slams”

What is with the weird word choice for modern news articles?

Lets whip out the thesaurus, use some flowery language! It can still be easy to understand but let’s expand past the weird 3 verbs we’ve been limited to!

“Senator Matt Gaetz forgot that investigations prove innocence too, and lashes out with his comments about a new investigation into his alleged intimate relationships with high schoolers.”

Really, if somebody wanted to investigate me about something I knew I was innocent about, I’d say “do your worst” not “ugh why would you investigate me” in a whiny voice.

Thank you, wish we could vote on a new title as a community, a’la stack overflow

This old tony is the GOAT

Moving to EVs is great, all countries are following similar trends and it is a good step in the right direction, but China has a long way to go before becoming a bastion of ecological absolution. Shanghai’s fog of pollution is something everyone should experience.

Remember china has the second largest population on the planet, cumulative metrics are useful but miss the bigger per capita picture. Check out the wikipedia article on ev usage and note the per capita numbers

Man 11k is pretty spendy

Cat cafe, you can chill in there for ages slurpin on coffee surrounded by the lil gremlins

Common password, people in various places will pretend that the platform will censor your password. For example my password is *******.

This is generally an attempt to steal other users password or generally an attempt to prank the gullible. Your password will not be censored ever.

Not really, they’re maintaining their asset, just like washing your own clothes isn’t a job you get paid for, keeping your house in working condition isn’t

Guy shoulda tried emacs instead, wife is probably an elitist

You can indeed have a virtual monitor from a mac mini, I have to initiate it from the mini though, no option comes up like it does on an m1 laptop

Haven’t tried steam link yet

Not sure it’s possible to avoid entirely, as the community here grows we get more of all types, it’s hard to have a truly only-positive community when moderation is voluntary and the masses have full reign to submit literally anything.

Do you think a technology solution would help? Sentiment analysis on posts and gently redirect people to other communities instead of outright blocking them?

Maybe the only real solution is personal resilience and recognizing that we don’t need to feel negative feelings just because we received a negative communication

I’m meeting up with a friend and their SO for a little hiking and brunch at a local breakfast joint. Picking up the vision pro today for work so that’s exciting!

I think it’s easy to be negative if a person doesn’t consider the human reading their anonymous posts, people feel empowered to take out their problems from life in general on random faceless internet strangers.

The mormons have subscribed to north american horse facts, too bad the timelines don’t quite line up!

“you shouldn’t buy food because that means there’s less food available”

If people don’t have AC at all when temperatures are no longer livable, people will die. This is a dumb thing to guilt an entire population into.

It’s all a devious plan by the canadians so they can have warmer beaches
