Of course, driving seems safer than getting on a bus or climbing down into a subway station. Motorists have a sense of control and feel protected in their vehicles. In contrast, transit travel means sharing enclosed spaces with crowds of unpredictable strangers, which naturally invokes anxiety.
Yeah, but social contracts go out the window whenever people feel protected. Whether that be by a steel frame or internet anonymity. When exposed, everyone behaves much better.
What’s with authoritarian world leaders having the tackiest taste in decor?
Like, they manage to make expensive things look cheap and nasty. I know the things in this picture are not, but the whole vibe is falling so far short of what it’s going for, it actually goes in the opposite direction. It’s nasty.
I’d do my job for free for a few days just to help people out (which I like doing) and there’s parts of it I enjoy.
But I like paddling down the river much more.
For most people, a paycheck is a business financially compensating them for the time lost and the effort done. The business is of no value to the employee otherwise. The compensation must be fair and worth their while, else the business will have to find someone worth what they’re willing to offer in compensation.
“Why should I pay for their burning down house?! Privatise the fire department!”
The only thing unexpected is the numbers are smaller than anticipated. But these things tend to accelerate as they grow, not remain linear or plateau.
That’s a thing and people.do, especially apartment dwellers. Dogs learn it quick too.
It’s just no one would have an animal shit in a box in the house unless they absolutely had to.
Oh…
In case anyone’s wondering, scytale’s ad blocker.
Yep. Did this recently actually lol.
But also commonly known as a war thing, done to render the enemy’s land infertile. Can’t grow food for a while and stuff.
Neither of these things really make much sense in context, though.
I dunno who’d ever want to use that font as an override for the default.
Really? Well, shit…
gets more ammo and this time some hydration packs
How much more anti-American can the USA get?
Ah, illiteracy.
lol
“I think it’s clear the deceased handcuffed themself and decided to just sit this one out. By staying very still, Mr Parkington had no knowledge of the deceased’s presence and eventually they succumbed to aparhy.”
Pipe bombs and the decomposed body of a handcuffed male were also found, the latter likely involving foul play, police said.
Foul play, you say? 😲
Sounds like a line dancing move.
Cowgirls do the dosey dee!
Cowboys do the dozy don!
Spin around and heel on three!
Rock it back, now 1, 2, 3! heel click!
YEEEEHAW!! 🤠🎻💤
Ah, okay. Good to know. I dismissed the alert because it was after a recent update on the TV which also installed an Advertisement ID that allowed for AV ads on the home screen as soon as I turned it on. Definitely been in a “What bullshit is this now?” mode.
It’s funny that the mindset has shifted to distrusting Google and Sony this much based on all the times they’ve tried to sneak things in or block the things that block them. Kind of like a persistent but low-level malware themselves, it’s likely I’ll dismiss/block their next attempt as I usually do. Having a warning from them is like listening to the boy that cried wolf, sort of.
Well it’s pointless engaging with them any further. So become an actual bot.
Create a ChatGPT conversation, give the context and ask for a reply. See how long you can keep it up by telling the bot what reply you got from them next. You barely have to do anything, just copy+paste.
Its more fun to not even read anything that’s going on until the end.
Also, block ML already.
Could be one of the fake ones. Need to get it from the drv’s git, not the websites claiming to be him.
I was watching a YT series about the colossal light rail fuck up in Toronto. I’m not even from the American continent, its just that bad it’s YT entertainment for the world now.
Good to see Montreal has some IQ points in its municipality.
