Trump still would have won in 2024 even if everyone had turned out to vote
Also, how screwed do your priorities have to be to think you’re living in a country in the middle of a fascist takeover and also that a good use of your or anyone else’s time is to blame people who agree with you, who also could not have prevented this? Crab bucket shit.
It was like a roller coaster with no tracks! So yes, absolutely. I just grabbed my husband’s hand for moral support and hoped the driver was driving like this because he knew what he was doing, haha.
I’m totally of the belief that the fuck cars mentality isn’t incompatible with personally liking cars. If you recognize that forcing everyone’s lifestyle and community space to revolve around cars is unsustainable and undesirable then I’d say that’s basically it, with a bit of sensible road design to prioritize pedestrian safety sprinkled in.
I thought the cab I was in that was hitting 60 mph on those hills was insane, 100 seems terminal.
Waffling is just going to piss everyone off. Were they just hedging their bets or what? The ‘we’re just renovating it’ justification is somewhat suspicious, as museum objects/displays removed for whatever reason usually have a note indicating their removal and why, and aren’t just spirited off into the night.
But it also sounds like this was a plaque and not an actual object associated with an exhibition? So I don’t know, they had to know people were going to notice and be upset by it. I might be over-sensitized to it, but a lot of this sounds like ass covering to me. Maybe it’s because they were worried and trying to save their own hides. But we desperately fucking need institutions like this to not just fetch their fainting chairs as soon as the right wing outrage machine farts in their direction.
Shit you caught me, Big Bike paid me off to laugh at carbrains.
Do they often have those in places other than subway/train transit hubs? I’ve never seen them anywhere else here (US southwest). And honestly I didn’t even know they were a thing before I moved here, public infrastructure in the US is so fucked.
I would legitimately love a study on whether this makes drivers more or less likely to be angry, because anything other than complete neutrality would be hilarious.

It was just laying around his uncle’s place after he died and nobody else wanted it for some reason.
Fucking lol at complaining about Republicans taking money from Democrats while suggesting the solution is to remove constitutional rights from everyone, no matter how they voted if they live in the wrong place.
LLMs generate theses kind of graph by writing a python program that plot a real dataset.
Assuming it even correctly does that. And why is that even necessary? People were able to make graphs before AI. It isn’t hard to do, and the piddling amount of data on display hardly needs a custom python program to plot it.
that’s also the nature of humans.
Thoughts are more than statistical associations, and anyone telling you that you can make a humanlike consciousness through a glorified autocorrect is a scam artist.
Probably knowing that the nature of LLMs is to generate output based on statistical associations, and that they don’t have the ability to look at data and understand it.
It’s also so fucking lazy to do that and then turn around and beg for people to pay you for it.
That sounds really nice! It often costs hundreds of dollars to get your name changed in the US, and if you don’t do that then it can’t be on any of your ID documents. It’s a huge pain and barrier to a lot of people.
People don’t need to file paperwork to change their name? They just start using a new one on legal documents?

Honestly I’d give them a pass on that one. They only gunned it after the crash happened and the power pole got hit, thinking a live power line is about to fall on you is absolutely a good reason to leave the area. Given the limited camera view we don’t know if they drove halfway down the block and stopped to call 911.
I wish for her what she wishes for immigrants.
I wonder if anyone unintentionally drove drunk from this. An energy drink is exactly what someone trying to be more alert would drink before driving.
None of that has anything to do with the associated electrical usage.
