I know it’s not the answer to your question, but you should really consider getting a bidet installed to not piss off your hemorrhoids.

Speaking from someone who also has them and who got a bidet during covid. Life changing for my cinnamon ring.

Train whistle and the sound of the train rumbling by in the distance is deeply relaxing, doubly so if after nightfall or if I’m drifting off to sleep.

Thanks for making a great app purple man

Alright! Dystopian nightmare timeline is a go!

I especially like the part where cops are reported to heavily abuse these databases for personal agendas or to share with criminals. Truly ACAB

This is a very good reason to maintain the appearance of neutrality while facing your local community

This might even be an argument for putting those smoked opaque covers on your license plates even if it’s questionably legal. There’s more than a few people out there with definitely not legal smoked covers to the point you literally can’t read their plates unless you’re tailgating them, and cops don’t give a shit because nobody is ever pulled over for illegal mods. I’d wager that the cameras can’t read them either if you can’t at 10 yards

About god-damned time someone did something about that.

Not great that it had to be California legislating it for the rest of the country but we’d pass out if we held our breath on Congress doing anything useful

I would downvote this if I could.

This kind of shit is what’s actively making the internet a worse experience.

No human wants to read generic drivel written by a machine, let alone being fooled into clicking on this asshole’s website because they gamed the search engine to get their garbage ranked higher on the list

Oh that’s why no videos would load.

Damn it

Oh my god, thank you for this. You solved a year long sufferfest for this internet stranger because of that greyed out button. Every god-damned guide online points you towards that button and I could not find the solution for it. What the fuck Mozilla

Oh yes I’m sure the Israeli version of Trump is definitely going to relinquish power

I would assume hot earl gray tea came up in that conversation somewhere?

I think that’s shallow water they’re walking through

There’s also this company that caters to this sort of thing. I’ve been considering moving to this someday, maybe when my current phone dies. I’m the kind of person that needs a genuinely dumbed down phone to limit access since I’d just get the key out of the drawer and ‘cheat’ eventually.

I always assumed the reason was to get more tendrils into your phone for that sweet sweet data $$$ and allowing themselves more control over shoving notifications in your face.

Do I sound bitter?

This is the most efficient way to peel potatoes

Comcast is sad that it can’t fuck us in hidden fees anymore. I feel terrible…just terrible for them.

Man I’d rather they figure out the Reduce and Reuse before they doo the Recycle.

I have no faith that what has worked in europe would work here given the political and cultural landscape before us. If it was feasible for america I’m not sure we would be in this situation now.

I wish it was, you and me both, but until that changes I’m simply accepting the lay of the land for what it is and reacting accordingly. We can work towards a better solution in the meantime; these actions and thoughts are not mutually exclusive.

However, your argument was very well written, and I appreciate both its intention and its focus on the human.

Thanks for the kind words. It is rather annoying being the change I want to see in the world though.

The trouble with this is that like @Liz@midwest.social pointed out in her comment about individual rights vs societal safety, from the perspective of the individual being shot, it is with impunity.

That woman had a right to life and safety and some stupid asshole came along and ended that no matter what justice the shooter rightfully faces after the fact.

Old habits die hard 🙃

You’ve got a point. Using /s has nearly the same effect as explaining the joke which is guaranteed to deflate the fun of making the comment in the first place.
