Public transit doesn’t have to mean subway systems, if that’s what you’re implying by “not designed for”. Suburban areas can have buses on the same roads the cars are already on, for example.

If there’s nothing on Google, then probably. Real human artists are generally desperate for people to listen to their music so they’ll have an easily found online presence. Especially likely if this was on Spotify.

Now I’m wondering what the number one family feud answer for “name an opera” would be. Marriage of Figaro?

lmao same, I just traded in my 12 because I was getting concerned I would break it too hard to be able to do that

I had a 2012 MBP until last year and made a similar choice. Pricey up front but it honestly ought to last me at least as long if not more.

With Netflix you at least got to watch the movie. Uber at least did give you the ride to where you were going. With this you get... what? A throwaway email draft? A legal filing full of errors and fabrications? An "epic roast of someone's appearance"? This is pet rocks

When ChatGPT first went public I played around with it a bit, and there was a very short but lovely period where it was just “Wow, this is really impressive, neato” before the insane self-destructive hype cycle took off.

I don’t remember ever getting that perspective in his writing before, certainly not from Jeeves.

I’m reading a non-Jeeves novel of his (The Girl On The Boat) and there was a fascinating perspective shift where said girl tells a valet to deliver a secret message to her man and he promises discretion, and then immediately he’s going into the kitchen and telling all the staff about it.

I do wonder if YouTube is kind of artificially inflated on here, because I watch videos on there but I don’t really interact with or follow anyone else. It’s not a social experience for me at all, and I wouldn’t put it in the same category as the other apps/sites here.

I mostly use it for a few special interest groups (professional and hobby) that I haven’t found good alternatives for elsewhere. Unfortunately the critical mass of people on FB still makes things like that work well there.

They ATE IT? Wtf man

I think that’s a clear signal of who gets to work in journalism / media and who doesn’t. That you can help elevate a presidential candidate that you’re having a romantic relationship with, advise and strategize for him, and keep your position. But if you so much as post about Gaza then that’s it.

As proof that I’m not just a whiny baby, I started Sekiro and I’m getting my ass handed to me but I love it

He’s almost offensively good at writing and I can’t believe he hasn’t done more of it.

My Tim Kaine story is I was playing cocktail piano at an event and he walked in and correctly identified what I was playing as Have You Met Miss Jones, so I’ve gotta give him a point for that

From the sounds of it, Silksong isn’t for me most likely. I might try it if it’s on sale for super cheap in a few years. Ultimately the degree of online hype and fandom is still puzzling to me. I don’t see what makes people put it in best of all time lists vs just “this is a very good indie game.”

Eventually I asked my piano professor for advice and she said “You know, you spend all your free time in this building.” She was right. I decided to commit fully to music and kept the others as backup options (actually got minors in both CS and math!) and haven’t needed them yet.
