Personally I don’t think these people should be having private conversations with minors at all. It’s fucking weird and stupid and just leaves them open to this kind of allegations.

Everyone knows the line for inappropriate behavior is criminal charges being filed.

Well I’m seduced

There are certainly hobbyists making good content. Most of the great content is from people making a living off it. They have time and resources to devote to doing deep dives into subjects that hobbyists just generally don’t. The bigger problem as far as filling the internet with crap goes is all the react content and people making clips of other people’s stuff that adds nothing to it and whatever YouTube shorts are supposed to be.

robot girlfriend duh

I wouldn’t even know where to begin. Between my job and everything else I have going on I don’t have the free time or mental energy for that level of political activism.

I live in a rural area and all options are basically the same. The only real difference is Republicans usually going hard on the maga shit. Policy wise there’s not a ton of difference. Sometimes we’ll get a libertarian.

Well at least there’s a way in… Lot’s of trouble could be save by simply having a mechanical key.

To get in from outside obviously needs the vehicle to unlock, so it has to be jump started.

and how do you get to the battery to do that if you can’t get inside?

It would also get rid of all the “in network” and “out of network” bullshit right? that might help with wait times too if you don’t have to rely on one of the 3 guys that takes your insurance.

Okay, here’s my suggestion for plan A: We feed them to pigs and take it all. Regardless of the tax situation.

“Human stories” are depressing and boring as fuck. I’ve already dealt enough with people dying of illnesses and being in shitty relationships and all that bullshit in my own life. I don’t need to be reminded of it by reading or watching a dramatized version. Put that shit in a metaphor the characters can solve their problems by blowing up.

So we need to articulate how the global benefits of those billionaires’ tax money being pooled and spent on commonwealth, is better even for the billionaires than if they’d each individually kept that money.

If they pay their taxes we don’t feed them to pigs. How’s that for a benefit?

What about that one made you select it?

Imagine if most new houses came with “Alexa” switches and electric plugs.

Oh boy a bunch of added expense to get the light switches swapped out with ones that don’t spy on me.

It’s so stupid. All the phones newer than mine have less hardware features so if I replace it I’ll have to find new ways of doing a bunch of things. I’m just accepting the risk at this point until manufacturers get their heads out of their asses and make something decent or my carrier stops supporting my phone. I’d have probably bought two more phones since I got this one if everything wasn’t a downgrade from what I have currently.

I prefer to keep it locked in a cage and disable as much of it’s bullshit as I can

The problem is they integrate that shit with the functions you do want like the radio and AC and then make you operate it all through a god damn touchscreen so that if you get on the highway before you realize you forgot to turn the shitty lane assist off you now have to take your life in your hands to disable it or risk it ramming you into that ladder or pothole or something because it doesn’t want you to change lanes abruptly.

Yes. Preferably an option in the form of a small single cab pickup truck with a full size bed.

Yeah it sucked. Fortunately I’m pretty much immune to that shit when I have something in writing to back my position. They could call me every name in the book, I’m not giving them what they wanted. After awhile it gets kind of entertaining watching them twist themselves into knots when they just have to do what they’re told. Especially when they tried emailing my superiors and I could hit them with a reply all explaining in simple terms why I didn’t do what they asked and exactly what they needed to do to get it done and have my superiors just be like “yea do that”
