Very cool, later on the same drive a beemer tried to crash frontally into me but I did full emergency braking and he missed me
anyway going to bed

Apparently I’m a “entitled piece of shit” because I dared to go 55 on the 65 mph highway with plenty of opportunity to pass me (I’m going carefully and slower because I’m transporting a piece of furniture with my pickup truck)
The person followed me into a gas station to tell me this

we should not be letting any company get away with blaming AI for their failures. I'm not even sure how we got to this point. people are like "it's just a tool" okay so is a forklift and we still hold somebody responsible when it goes wrong and hurts someone. this is YOUR AI!

We are a country where 2 parties have decided that it is okay to either starve its populace or deprive them from life-saving healthcare. Or, as will likely be the case, both. May no incumbent be secure in their position. May they all feel the weight of their decisions for the rest of their lives.

This only thing worse than a gov shutdown for 40 days is a shutdown that achieved nothing but pain and suffering for the people it was supposed to protect.
I just called my senators: hold the line.

genuinely when you're online arguing that the graphs say the economy is good actually, what do you expect people to say? what is the end result you're hoping for? for everyone to stop complaining about their personal starvation, evictions and medical debt because a line is going up somewhere?

Frankly I would personally prefer to never hang out with the weird people (extremely derogatory) talking about children's peckers all day
The majority of US voters, so far as I can tell, flatly do not care about trans people one way or another. They aren't necessarily especially friendly to them, but they clearly find the notion that they're supposed to obsess over them distinctly offputting. (Despite major efforts by the right!)

jfk I don’t want a touchscreen on my Mac
This seems unlikely to me unless the two models have a different form factor (though it might be justifiable in terms of offsetting the greater battery demands of Apple’s high-end processors). #Apple #MacBookPro appleinsider.com/articles/25/...
OLED may be limited to M6 Pro, M6 Max MacBook Pro
The M6 Pro and M6 Max versions of the MacBook Pro could also be the only models to have OLED, giving consumers more reason to pay for the premium options.
