I bet you make incorrect assumptions about people you don’t know regularly.

I never get the first one and rarely the second one. If it says to click all the squares with motorcycles and it’s just the one big picture, am I supposed to click stuff like the tire and mirrors? I always do and never get it right. Then most of the time they ask me to identify motorcycles, they show me motor scooters and what am I supposed to do then? I think I just need to get one of these bots to do it for me.

Wow, I didn’t even realize that it requires a $24.99 per month plan from T-Mobile for voice, texting and data. These companies are getting really brazen.

That’s not a bad idea, but why not just integrate that functionality into a smartwatch?
- Comment on Humane AI Pin: much-hyped gadget rocked by bad reviews 7 months ago:
I used to feel the same, but they do fit a bit of a need for me. They work great as a silent alarm so you don’t wake up anyone else in your room, you don’t have to take your phone out to check time or notifications, and health and fitness tracking is better than what a phone can offer.
- Comment on Humane AI Pin: much-hyped gadget rocked by bad reviews 7 months ago:
Yeah, I can’t imagine they thought this would be a serious product.

I could have told them this was a dumb idea from the start; creating something that doesn’t fill a need, is just another device to carry around and could just be an app on a phone that we already carry around, just to cram it down people’s throats “because AI,” is probably not a good business plan.
- Comment on Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome 8 months ago:
I’ve been using it as my main search engine for around a year now. I accidentally used google today to look up “best screwdriver sets” and the results were all ads instead of results with screwdriver set reviews. I put the same thing in DuckDuckGo and immediately got relevant results.
- Comment on The Self-Checkout Nightmare May Finally Be Ending 10 months ago:
That’s how it is by me too; very few lines open with an actual person. I’d prefer not interacting with anyone, but the self checkouts are just a reason to hire fewer people. Years ago, they used to have two people at every register at grocery stores; one to ring people up and the other to pack the bags up. You rarely see this anymore unless the cashier is being trained.
In addition to that, on the occasions that I do use self checkout, I almost always have an issue with one of the items and then the one person they have overseeing ten checkout lanes needs to finish what they’re doing and come over to me just to fix the issue so I can finish scanning the rest of my stuff.
So when I’m using self checkout, I’m doing unpaid labor just because the store wants to increase profits and it often ends up being slower depending on how much produce I’m buying.
- Comment on Scott Pilgrim Takes Off | Official Trailer | Netflix 1 year ago:
That’s definitely a fair take on it. It’s definitely all in the movie, just maybe not the primary focus of the movie. He’s definitely a selfish bastard throughout most of the movie and then realizes it at the end and is redeemed.
- Comment on Scott Pilgrim Takes Off | Official Trailer | Netflix 1 year ago:
This is pretty much the same impression that I got from the movie.

I rewatched it about a month or two ago and still had a lot of fun. I thought it held up really well too.
