Welcome friends and lovers, we've finally started up our Locals page and seeing how social media censorship and ties with government are accelerating at a furious pace, likely will start to do more here than Facebook eventually. Also, we can say WHATEVER THE FUCK WE WANT here without fear of deplatforming. So welcome, chums.

There’s a classic holiday movie movie scene that shows exactly why I’m not very concerned about AI ending the world.
I’m also reminded of Bill Joy’s vi editor which has multiple modes because he was in tge woods worried about grey goo. No shit.
@John_Odermatt FF Reax: There's a ton of sports gambling stuff that weaves into other aspects. Especially w/ government.
The odds are not in your favor. Ever. The apps do make it easier than ever, and the difficulty that was previously there was part of what made it special, different.
Your office pool? Yeah, you have to get your picks in by lunch on Friday. Maybe it was straight head-to-head. Maybe the picks were w/ a spread, but probably not. You'd go week-to-week, and the winner of that week would get half of what was in the pool for the office that week, and the other half would be saved for whoever got the most wins at the end of the season.

For professional stuff, I used the extra time ONCE because I needed to buy a cert to keep working.
Do I feel bad when the use things like early boarding? Yep. But I also do things like fly 1C partially to eliminate some of that guilt. (Protip, too, flying is very easy when you’re in a wheelchair w/ a 1C ticket….I do use a wheelchair at the airport…can’t walk fast or far. Tip your attendant!)
The WaPo story got hit harder than the drug boats by was it DailyWire? OAN? Nope. NYT....
