Saw one try to turn left right in front of me when it had an unprotected turn. I didn’t let it in and gave it the bird knowing full well there was no human inside driving to see it. Super cool to know that it won’t face any punishment for similar errors in the future.
Fr, I’d be shocked if they sold 600
Hell I’m a millennial, and I bounce around music streaming services all the time. They all offer more or less the same thing, and overcharge like hell for it. Spotify will send me a trial for like $5 for 3 months or something, I’ll sign up and set a reminder to cancel in 3 months, Amazon music will send me something similar, I’ll do that, YouTube premium will send me an offer and I’ll go there. Worst case I’ll have to deal with shitty ads for a while in between offers, but I’d say 10/12 months a year I’ve got some kind of premium service going for a fraction of the advertised cost. I know that their goal is to get me hooked and paying monthly for their shit, but I’m on top of it enough to not ever let them. Fuck the shareholders. I’m looking out for me.
Nice. R.i.p the 3.5 mm. Miss that shit
I had the daydream headset. It’s sad it was abandoned, it had potential and it would be cool if instead of selling expensive whole other systems for VR, we could just use our phone. I got mine on Super sale, not realizing Google was planning to abandon it. I thought they were just going to roll out a new one soon. Instead, all the apps were abandoned and it’s more or less useless now. Still works okish as a vehicle for porn I guess.
I bought one of these. It’s a bit clunky, but it was the best option for my application because it uses the stock touchscreen from the infotainment system instead of the aftermarket stereo which would have 2 screens on top of each other and look shitty. It’s not cheap, and I wish it was a little more polished, but it does everything I need it to.

I was debating wording it fake and (g)AI
Fake and AI
Yeah, I had an ear issue and got referred to an ENT. The ENT required that I do a hearing test. I said my hearing is fine, I have pain in my ear. Well it’s a requirement to get an appointment. Ok, fine, sign me up for that. 30 days out I get this hearing test, then have the appointment 4 months later. So I just had to deal with pain for 4 months. I went to urgent care and ER while waiting because I was in pain daily and couldn’t keep waiting. They all said they couldn’t see anything and I would need to talk to an ENT. The ENT sees it and says the same shit as the urgent care and ER. So 4 months has gone by and all any doctor did was throw their hands up and say IDK bro. I see another ENT who gives me a steroid ear drop that doesn’t fucking work. We’re 6 months in and fucking nothing has happened. Eventually it gets kinda better just on its own after I straight gave up on trying to get it taken care of. I still have flare-ups here and there, but it’s mostly better. Uh hopefully it’s not fucking cancer or something. 🤷♂️
The only people who actually think our system is better are total chodes who just inhale Fox News 24/7. Anyone with half a brain knows it’s utter shit and getting anything treated correctly is a major pain in the ass and potentially will bankrupt you. Fuck the American Healthcare System.
My work offered an AI chatbot therapist. Like to, I’m not putting all my negative feelings into a company sponsored LLM to fucking have it say, “no relax guy, it’ll be OK.” Like it’s a fucking clanker. It doesn’t have feelings. It’s not fucking real. It’s a slap in the face that they even offer it.
Lauren Bobert is pretty close
Apparently this:
A buddy of mine had them at a football game we went to recently. Awful stuff. Tons of sugar, barely any booze. I’m with the librarian.
LMAO. Gold.
Doesn’t mean it needs Internet access tho
I briefly dated a girl who was homeschooled. She was a very nice girl, but holy fuck was she awkward in social settings. So many references that people our age should get would go right over her head. She was also from a well off family so when she didn’t get these things, she kind of made it out to be like a class issue. “Oh that’s from a rap song is it? We were never big on rap in our household.” Well, we’re you living under a rock? You don’t know to the window, to the wall?
I will give her parents credit. She was very well read and learned to play a lot of instruments. She was very knowledgeable of the arts, but anything pop culture related was clearly a no go in her childhood/ young adulthood, and it made her quite dull.
Her brother was also fucking creepy man. I got real serial killer vibes from him. They were socially very similar, and I’m pretty sure the brother was closeted and gay. I had just assumed that he was out by the way he spoke, and acted, then one day she said something about how he needs a girlfriend. I said something along the lines of “are you sure he’s looking for one?” And she got super offended and said she doesn’t know why everyone thinks her brother is gay, and that men always hit on him which he supposedly hated. That could also just have been a lack of socialization and picking up on societal norms? Maybe he actually was straight, idk but he acted and looked very much the part. All in all the vibe was super off with them.
I think kids need to socialize to develop correctly. That girl, her brother and the handful of other homeschooled people I’ve met in life very much have reinforced that belief. I especially am worried about this current crop of anti vax types with little to no critical thinking skills home schooling their children. The HBO documentary - “This Place Rules” covered this briefly, and I worry for those children. I have a friend who has similar fringe beliefs and has talked about homeschooling his kids. I hope for that kids’ sake they actually send him to school because if not, he’ll be sounding like the kids in the video below.
Doubly so when you consider space is a vacuum
No, it’s true. Female astronauts usually float around up there with their twats out; spread wide open to air it out, and nearly every time a male astronaut blasts some rope, it floats straight to it obviously.
I heard they are doing a Jetset remake. We’ll see tho
