Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."

this isn’t what they said. the refund process is for their own refund. they’re not doing refunds to customers, they might do lower prices.

These are the 4 things AI can do well:

β€’Clean up your email inbox (badly)
β€’Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
β€’Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself
β€’Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday

You can see why we need to base our economy around it

Prices are up 30 cents since this post and the nearby liquor store has taken down its decade-old Trump Wine display this shit is so monumentally over.

I wonder how much with the normies who aren't very online (even the ones in Maine), the depth of the coverage on the story has just been "Platner has what might be considered a Nazi tattoo" followed by "Platner didn't realize what it was and as soon as he did, he had the tattoo removed"

this must be so fun to be a translator for. how do you respond when someone replies "what?"

That 16 year timeframe is the culprit here. There was a brief window, about 1995 to 2015, when American tech wasn’t primarily a subsidiary of the US military. The original internet boom was an outlier and Silicon Valley has returned to normal now. It was always about killing people.

If you took $1 billion and gave it to the endowment of a different small college each day, they could each provide a free college education to several hundred students per year in perpetuity. Instead we are using that money to bomb schools and kill students in Iran, for no clearly stated purpose.

on one hand, I get that this is rude and why people don't like it. but on the other hand, why is this somehow considered much worse than hearing just half of the conversation from the person who's in the same physical space as you

I really don't think I should have to verify that I am human to look at the Cheesecake Factory menu online. Dogs and robots should be able to look at 57 types of cheesecakes too.

"he was intoxicated, too" as if that wasn't apparent from the fact that a man in boxers and a cowboy hat was doing the 'fortnite loser dance' in the middle of the road
