I think it’s trash because it starts with the “story” being “someone said this outrageous thing on a podcast”. Then the “both sides” counter argument is from actual medical professionals and people who have a clue.

Typically, journalism frames an issue and then covers some counterpoints to give some nuance. This time, they (bewilderingly) accept conspiracy theory nonsense as their story (when it shouldn’t have been written in the first place), then the sanity comes in as though it’s a counter point.

Waddaya mean “or”?

Polite: “Thanks.”

Less polite: “Thank you for your feedback.”

My fave: “UNSUBSCRIBE”

The pizza guy can bring a pizza to the table.

Seriously though, bringing something to the table means showing up as a person. It means contributing to the relationship and the family. It means doing some of the emotional labour and preemptively doing things that show you care.

The stereotype of the 1950s husband who worked all day, then came home and sat on his ass to be waited on by his wife while the kids do something that doesn’t involve him? That is bringing next-to-nothing to the table, despite being the sole financial resource.

Also, when some people use those words, they just mean “they need to be hot”.

I have 2-4 of these preinstalled on all my pants.

Also, did this start when someone made an iPurse joke and someone didn’t let it go?

14.1 would be ideal.

Zhou claims she began dating Renner after he contacted her in June by sending “a string of unwanted/unsolicited pornographic images of himself via DM and Whatsapp” and then “seduced” her by “loving me so much I believed in him/the power of love.”

There’s a lot to unpack here.

I think the plan is that the team of human handlers that control the robot will step in and stop a felon from breaching their conditions.

The robot is just theatre to help prop up Tesla’s share price.

The received reports of an explosion.

…of mustard and onions.

But please also repost this to /c/lemmyshitpost with this original title!

It’s tied to company stock performance. He’s only getting a trillion if he brings Tesla to like an 8 trillion dollar valuation, which seems pretty unlikely given his weird behaviour, their broken PR, and their weird valuation for years. Oh, and the competition heating up in the EV sector.

But to answer the question asked: those people who could go on strike have a few shares or options in TSLA, so if Elon hits that insane target, they all stand to make millions themselves.

That, and they knowingly and willingly work for a nazi that doesn’t care about them. I don’t think there’s anything he could say or do that would make them rethink their career path.

There’s a few free vpn providers out there. You could do a little homework and see if they are a good option. I tend to mistrust free services like that (if I’m not paying, who is, and what are they paying for?), but if you’re in a pinch it’s something to research.

Another option is to look for deals. Sometimes VPN providers will have a super sale a few times a year. I think once I got a NordVPN subscription for THREE YEARS for like $60. It’s more expensive than a single month of anything, yes, but if you can afford a onetime expense it’s nice not to have to worry about a recurring monthly cost.

Your other option is to not use torrents. Usenet is still the grand daddy of file sharing and is pretty much anonymous. Most Usenet hosts are paid, but back in the day even ISPs ran their own servers. It could be worth looking and seeing if there’s any free or low cost providers there.

I first saw this each time Bush was elected. So many people vowed to move to Canada if that bastard got elected.

Then the bastard got elected. And Canada reported like a tiny spike in traffic to their immigration information website. I think actual applications were up a statistically insignificant amount.

I guess it’s like the difference between filing for bankruptcy and Declaring It, Michael.

Story of my life.

Did that start recently for you, too? I used to come home with 60% battery on my 15 Pro Max and now I’m at 30% with the same daily usage.

Ultra low speed limit signs always make me laugh.

My car has an analog speedometer and the first number is 20. The best speed they’re going to get from me, especially driving up a ramp in stop-and-go traffic is “less than 20”.

I used to live in an apartment building where they just posted a speed limit sign that said “DEAD SLOW”. My friend got a complaint letter from strata that he was speeding. He replied that “dead slow is a nautical term meaning a ship must travel in such a way that they don’t lose the ability to steer. I was not operating a boat and my ability to steer was never in question.” They gave him a “warning” and said the actual speed limit is 10; though that wasn’t on any sign nor ever written anywhere.

Wandering the desert?

Nay, vibe travelling.

They didn’t release their methods, so I can’t be sure that most of those aren’t just frustrated users telling the LLM to go kill itself.

Replaced by AI, ironically.

This feels very adjacent to “we don’t do this because it was easy. We did it because we thought it would be easy.”
