It wasn't even a negative review, it was constructive criticism.

Sci-fi inspired tractor beams are real, and could solve a major space junk problem
This headline is a lie: a prototype is 10 years off according to the article 😐 cool research tho. Seems lacking in the practical application side.

How ofter do you get physical with your coworkers?
Last month I got stomped on by a coworker. My foot isn't 100% yet. I still brushed their hair at the end of the day. Some of my coworkers are horses.

You’re more likely to go to prison for exposing animal cruelty than for committing it
This has been true for a long time. Upton Sinclair, writing over 100 years ago about improving working conditions (for humans) ended up missing the mark and the end result was food quality regulations. Now, folks are trying to expose animal cruelty but end up getting stronger protections for corporations 🤡 we just can't seem to care about living things 🙁

'Brilliant' Biden Ad Torches Trump In Simplest Possible Way
Judging by what I hear from the Republican-voting folks around me, unless this airs on Newsmax or OAN (etc) the people who need to see it, won't.

There is so much unnecessary advertising in my country. Billboards, commercials on a screen at fuel stations, placards on park benches. None of it has any tangible benefit to regular people. None.

Putting on your seatbelt and not using your phone while driving is now considered a "challenge"?
In my mind, it is a challenge when I have to navigate a touch screen to change the heat setting on this new work vehicle 🤨

Henry Darger - Reclusive janitor revealed posthumously to be the author of a 15,145-page fantasy manuscript depicting young children being tortured and massacred
This title is so misrepresentative that it borders on being a lie.

I am noticing a slow increase in conservative folks and their ability to accept climate change, and even to change themselves, bit I live in a very remote area where they depend on water and such from the land. They will still vote for Trump, tho. I can at least have a conversation with them, but it takes SO MUCH TIME to really win people over, and we don't have that time. Most of these people, i think it will be another five years before I get then on my side. At least they listen, I guess?

Perfectly legal for cars to harvest your texts, call logs
This, and the other things I read about (like subscriptions for heated seats) are what will lead to some bizarre third party hack market for cars. Instead of taking a new vehicle to a place for custom pinstriping or whatever, folks will get them privatized.

Trump 'Rehearsed' His Unhinged Fraud Trial Rant for Days Before the Judge Shut Him Up
So he wasn't authorized to speak, but did anyways?
This is a fraud on me

Kristi Noem, South Dakota governor, banned from second reservation in state
Her statements about this are almost like asking someone when they quit beating their wife. Ridiculous.

Why does everyone shit on bycicles but never on cars???
Reply in thread
Haha no, nothing like that. We were riding on a narrow, windy, river road in the mountains. No ability for cars to pass, but many places for slow moving vehicles to move o er and not even have to stop! Essentially, they wanted the cars to share the road with them but they wouldn't share with the cars. Most people in that area don't care to pause, but after passing multiple pullouts they can become irritable.
I know this is fuckcars but that particular situation was, for me, untenable.

Kbin badly needs a facelift
I don't personally have any issues with the website on mobile, I wonder if it could be browser related? I'm also not expecting perfection from something that hasn't been around very long, and never was on reddit so have nothing to compare it to.
I think you have valid points about "dealing" and "learning" and for some, that will be a turnoff. For me, it is an adventure 🙂

Its diving speed during flight is more than 300 km (186 miles) per hour, making it not only the world’s fastest bird but also the world’s fastest animal.
One of the craziest interactions I have seen was when a Peregrine Falcon attacked a Canada Goose in flight. We were watching the goose fly up canyon and the peregrine must have thought it was too close to its nest or something. Only time I've heard a goose make a sound like that!!

Rite Aid’s ‘reckless’ use of facial recognition got it banned from using the technology in stores for five years | CNN Business
Rite Aid said in a statement that it’s “pleased to reach an agreement” with the FTC but added that “we fundamentally disagree with the facial recognition allegations in the agency’s complaint.” The tech was a pilot program and was only used in a “limited number of stores. The test stopped more than three years ago before the FTC’s investigation began.
Ah yes, we quit breaking the law before you found out so would like to retain the ability to do it again in the future.
All of this should be illegal, everywhere, by any entity, forever.

Why does everyone shit on bycicles but never on cars???
I don't have the answer, but about 10 years ago I was invited to go on a group ride. I'm more of a commuter, but have done longer rides. Anyway, the behavior of the folks I was with made me never want to ride with others again. It was terrible! I think that is why pedal bikes get lumped into this scenario. You could replace the pickup with a Porsche and I think it would be the same scene.
