Sure, but Tesla is the last company I’d trust to do it

Do you think billionaires operate in a moral fashion? That their journey was one paved to the top by the ethical treatment of others?
Perhaps we need a new morality because I find that operating inside of prescribed moral bounds is shooting yourself in the foot when making this particular kind of argument.
You operate morally, they use every dirty trick in the book, including killing you.

The Backlash Is So Strong That People With “Pervert Glasses” Are Afraid to Use Them in Public

I think a good contrast to this is when my dad saved a goose he accidentally snared in his fishing line. If flew straight across mid-cast.
He had to reel it in while it honked and freaked out and and tried to bite him but after that, they were pals.
Brought its goslings to see him on subsequent visits and everything.

Has anyone else noticed that autocorrect/swipe has been getting worse lately?
1000%.
I’ve noticed across platforms, posts, texts, etc.
My guess is that there’s been a slow infiltration of “AI powered” autocorrect across the industry.
Other than that, I don’t really have a good answer to the broad, sweeping degradation of autocorrect.
But you’re definitely not the only one.

Catfish

No, have one now.
Just fish and cats are two separate categories in my head that didn’t connect.
I also thought it might have meant the social media term for catfish or something.

Consider, if you would for a moment, that the above comment could be directed at people–it’s wild but hear me out–who are not you.

TIL that Die Hard received mixed reviews upon release. Critics didn't like Bruce Willis' performance, action and violence
Reply in thread
I understand how, in retrospect, it may feel like it isn’t groundbreaking, but do consider that before Die Hard, there really wasn’t anything quite like it.
A quote straight from Wikipedia:
It is considered to have revitalized the action genre, largely due to its depiction of McClane as a vulnerable and fallible protagonist, in contrast to the muscle-bound and invincible heroes of other films of the period.
While it did sort of fall apart and away from what made it great in the later sequels, I think it’s important to put the film into the context of when it was released and what it did to the genre.
All that to say, Die Hard fucking rules.

Is it just me, or is Lemmy 1000% better?
Feels like Reddit way back in the day, honestly.
I’m talking like 17 years ago way back.
Loving it! So much fun, silly content!

Afterlife conversations are probably infected too
Between November and now, I worked pretty diligently to create a wall around me to avoid these topics. Unfollowing, blocking, filtering.
Once the inauguration happened, I discovered that the concrete I used was faulty and full of holes. The black, fetid water of these lunatics seeped in from all directions.
Tech news, cultural news, arts, all possible other topics that I thought were safe within the walls I built are now covered with sludge.
I so tired of this shit. How did we let this happen?

The New York Times ever being perceived as progressive is the biggest scam ever.
Bret Stephens is, surprise, a sniveling neocon.
He can get fucked.

I’m guessing “presumed human remains” means something close to “goo plus bones, we think”.
