Every civilization rises and falls. We’re on the down slope ATM. Sorry. The 80s and 90s were pretty nice in America!

I’ll never stop laughing when Tony Stark treats Musk as a nobody.

Iron Man II, "Yeah. Later. Blown. Off. Bet Musk is still proud of that cameo.

Don’t have a working stereo in my 22-yo truck or 23-yo car. Bluetooth speaker it is!

(I don’t generally listen to anything driving. I like to chill and think about life. Which ain’t always the wise move.)

I got a tiny HP laser from an old job. Must be 15+ years old, runs perfectly and toner is $20 for god knows how many pages.

I believe that only applies to ink jet. You can hardly make secret dots in B&W.

And you will be the one deciding what constitutes hate, whose voice to cut off?

The state bar is not the state cops.

In my little Southern US town the lights seems to work logically and traffic flows nicely, noticeably so. I’m never sitting at a light screaming, “Oh FFS turn!” or “Why did that light change and there are no cars?!”

Traffic only gets a bit thick on the main road in late afternoons. Not much to be done there, it’s a major east-west thoroughfare connecting several towns.

Have no idea how they’re doing this. Sensors I’m guessing? Seems like we’re too poor for fancy civil engineering like that and I’m sure we can’t afford what the article talks about.

Anyone know how that might work?

Literally nothing in the article except what appears to be sane company policy. Of course you fire people who leak confidential company information.

Lemmy: “But it must be evil if they’re hiding it!”

Well, in FB’s case, it may well be, but you can’t run a mom-and-pop store with every communication open to the world.

FFS people, it’s no different than “don’t talk to cops”, no different. Anything you say can and will be held against you. Stunning lack of insight from such a privacy advocating community. Same people who rail against others saying, “If you have nothing to hide…”

My Filipino wife, with a strong but perfectly clear accent, gets called Indian all the time and they ask for someone American.

That comment came from a child, sounds like my 10-yo making shit up. Worst case, the very worst, is you lose a solid chunk of foot, and that’s so rare as to not worry about.

Think on it. If that thing starts eating you from the toes up, you’re going to pull free before it gets much in there, even if “pulling free” means no more toes.

I did hear the Crocs are bad on escalators. 🤷 I could see something heavy like combat boots sucking more in, but those are the kinda shoes that don’t get sucked in.

Am I reading this right? You’re for prosecuting people who have broken no laws?

I’ll add this; I have sexual fantasies (not involving children) that would be repugnant to me IRL. Should I be in jail for having those fantasies, even though I would never act on them?

This sounds like some Minority Report hellscape society.

LOL my god, watch a few videos. Know how many female porn stars are obviously faking, or at least going over the top? Watch a woman strapped to a Sybian absolutely lose her shit. Can’t be faked, not like that.

Things like that are called “jargon” and are perfectly normal and acceptable in a given field, always been that way.

If you don’t know how to pronounce, or even spell, NGINX, you probably have no use for it.

People were not speaking for very long conversations in general, they were happy to start a chat, but never really cared to continue it. Which always makes me say, that people registered on these apps are not really here for dating, but more for entertainment purposes.

Strikes me as completely backwards. Read many, many women’s profiles that said they’re not there to chat. For myself, I only want a quick chat and then a date if all seems well. Also, the more you chat, the lower the chances of an actual date. Too easy to be misunderstood or make assumptions when 80% of communication (physical) is out the window.

That’s so old-school racist it doesn’t count anymore, like Irish_Americans give a shit in 2025. You’re diluting the word, making it worth less.

This is what people mean when they say, “You can’t say anything anymore!” They’re not mad they can’t say n*****, they’re mad because of silly shit like this. If everything is racist, language becomes a minefield, impossible to keep up with and navigate.

Penultimate means “next to last”, and that’s it.

…in the early 1980s, he teamed up with a female physician who believed in the idea. They spent the next 18 months gathering research, asking for insights and meeting with engineers who could bring the product to life.

From inception to prototyping to how the Sybian performs today wasn’t a “one and done” process. Years of research, conducting interviews and refinement went into its creation. As the creator himself says, “Sybian is not the result of what I thought it should be, but the collective input of many women.”

You can’t seriously think the ultimate female orgasm machine was invented without women? Plenty of videos that will back me on the “ultimate” part!

Repeatability is king! :)

I’d kill to get my wife one, but that $1,300 tag gives me sticker shock.
