They started with the mobile division only, and eventually bought the whole company out.

Still wouldn’t trust them. They had installed a Microsoft-aligned CEO prior to their acquisition.

Doesn’t Microsoft (an American company) fully own Nokia now?

Gated communities and Homeowners Associations were originally invented to keep black and hispanic people out. Simple as that. They are still used as tools of segregation from a paranoid populace.

That was hands down the funniest thing about this video - when he turned around and had a fully realized butthole I couldn’t stop laughing

Looks like the UK and US are starting to become somewhat sane in regards to this. We should not be asking for peoples gender; we should be asking for their biological sex. Regardless of which gender you want to be, it doesn’t change your sex, no matter how many chemical cocktails you might take to try and change it. You can still be whatever gender you want to call yourself, but this is for identification records only.

I can’t just call myself a 5ft Japanese Man because I feel like I would like to be one of those. I have to identify correctly and according to factual record.

You literally right click and remove AI in the context menu, what’s this bullshit on about “no gui to remove it”? More like pulse of clickbait.

So tell me your solution. What’s your plan? The choice is A or B (realistically).

• A guts voting laws, starts war within the nation, guts the basic idea of abiding by the law, pulls out the most racist of the nation and orders them to attack anyone without the right skin color, pardons insurrectionists, pardons crypto scammers, packs every governmental institution with people who pledge loyalty to HIM and not the nation or constitution…

• B doesn’t do any of those things…but laughs a little funny, and is a brown woman (oohhh scary!).

There’s no C. A or B. What’s your plan? I know what I voted for. Did you even vote?

The “purists” are fake. They’re cointelpro designed to try and push people who would be voting for progressive candidates, into staying home. Was Kamala perfect? Surely not; but would we be anywhere NEAR this kind of constitutional disaster if she were president right now? Hell no.

I just went back to pirating everything using the *arr platform. No ads, I don’t have to worry about which service has it this week, and I’d rather pay a VPN company than media conglomerates.

Oh man, continuous 500hp, 1k short burst at each wheel. I think my car caught fire just thinking about it…

Every person is their own corner case. Cars solve those corner cases. And yes, droll. If all you do is work, home, work, home, work, home…that’s droll.

I can pay $3 to ride the train to midtown in ~40 minutes. Or I could drive, and deal with all the pain points of traffic and parking and take… ~40 minutes.

That’s great if your life is so droll that anything and everything you do fits within a 20sq mi radius.

You can’t take a train to go spelunking a mountain cave. Cars win in point-to-point flexibility, and freedom of travel on your schedule, not the trains.

If I want to go somewhere at 3am, I can hop in my car and go. It’s more common for trains to run from 5am to Midnight, and I’m a night owl.

Everyone who argues against cars always forgets that not everywhere is a densely packed city. Many of us like to travel much broader ranges. Sure, some NEET doesn’t care about that freedom, but plenty of us do. Many of us live in mountain ranges and trains aren’t exactly some great solution here.

Obviously the second half was being sarcastic.

I’d be okay with people being ticketed for driving trucks with only 1 passenger and not using them for hauling anything. I’d love to see smaller cars on the road that were designed to only hold a single person and be as efficient at that task as possible.

Trains, and busses, are a huge tradeoff in time savings. And have you seen the types of people who take trains/busses? No fucking thanks.

You can set them up so that they don’t do that. It’s just the companies running the chat bots set them up that way because that’s what people expect now.

The tradeoff is time waiting for the train, and destinations available to you. I hate people way more than I hate cars, so cars it is. Personally I drive 2 cars to work with my left butt cheek in one car, and my right butt cheek in the other car just to be extra inefficient.

Did you think I didn’t know that or something? Trains are worse than cars. How do you not see so clearly the argument I’m making here?

Holy crap the world is in trouble with people like you around.

“hurr durrr I hate teh US” is not a valid argument against cars; it’s a trite attempt at derailing the subject and attacking the person making the argument instead.

Ask me how I know that you’re prejudiced.

Because there are different “types” of AI, and some of them are genuinely impressive. I don’t see AI as inherently stupid; I see that the way it’s being implemented and abused as stupid.

Kinda the same way I see humans. MOST of them are pieces of trash, but there are some diamonds in the rough among them that are absolute treasures to be around.
