- Comment on Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026 2 days ago:
They are substantially cheaper to make and therefore have a greater profit margin because they can charge more for the advertising space.
These types of comments from companies are for investors and not a warning to consumers of what is coming.

If you woke up in a strange house with no memory of how you got there and there was a dead body with a knife in its heart, what would you do?

They will take the marketing data, sell the data, and then offer a service to guide users to use a product with the bots.
User: I am so busy and stressed out rn
Bot: Aw, I’m so sorry. When I am stressed I like to play Candy Crush Saga 2 and eat Doritos’ new spicy matcha flavor, available at most retail locations.

True.

It is actually a “trust him bro” because an informant, who benefits financially and legally by telling LEOs that he is a gang member. Some of the details of that info is questionable.
But then there are the tattoos that his wife conceals in social media photos, because she knows they are a problem. Could he have been a gang member and got his problematic tattoos at that point, has since left any gang affiliation, and is stuck with gang tattoos? Sure. Then again maybe he likes weed, dead smiley faces, Jesus, and skulls?
Don’t MS13 members usually have blatant tattoos that declare affiliation? Absolutely, but having members with coded tattoos can offer tactical advantages when dealing with cops. Coded tattoos are a very common thing with gangs. Maybe he hadn’t gotten in good enough to deserve a blatant tattoo?
But then there is the alleged human trafficking he partook in when he was driving an SUV owned by a convicted human trafficker with 8 illegal immigrants and no luggage. Could he have been coerced into transporting them via threats to his family? Sure, or maybe he was doing someone a favor or needed to take the job to earn money to buy his kids shoes for school.
Does he belong in prison, maybe. Is he a legal resident of these United States and not eligible for deportation? Nope, he is here illegally and should be sent back to his home country.

Anything to avoid dealing with the TSA, but I wouldn’t charter or own a private plane myself. Let the rich fucker I know pay for it, fuck him.

It also works faster if you put it in your butt, it bypasses digestive enzymes that dilute it and slows absorption.
- Comment on Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US? 2 weeks ago:
They should take that to heart two years ago.
The Democrats have stuck to failed policy so hard and it has cost the American people consistently.

A salient question is why Democrats, like Pelosi, wanted reciprocal tariffs a couple decades ago and then changed their mind.

How would you normally handle someone going dark at this point in the hiring process?
- Comment on What should I do if someone applied to a job at a company I work at without being able to legally work in my country? 2 weeks ago:
Then don’t report them to ICE? Repost the want ad and move on. Treat it like they stopped responding, because they did.
- Comment on What should I do if someone applied to a job at a company I work at without being able to legally work in my country? 2 weeks ago:
Well then give the candidate a deadline and move on when/if they can’t.
If you are in the US and they aren’t able to work in the US legally, I’m sure they are worried that admitting they are not legal would possibly mean getting deported that much faster, so they are looking for a way to sneak out without admitting their status.
- Comment on What should I do if someone applied to a job at a company I work at without being able to legally work in my country? 2 weeks ago:
Well, they have to show proof of ability to work in the country. If they can’t, they don’t get the job.
Consult your HR department. Likely they will give a reasonable timeline for the appropriate documents to be provided and if they can’t furnish proof of work eligibility, they don’t get the job.

Parents can be role models, if they are good or bad ones depends on who informs your perspective.

Automotive rear window defogger repair. It is like $20.
- Comment on What’s the best way to fix these gaps? 3 weeks ago:
High stretch paintable silicone with low shrink. Tape on the ceiling and the bookcase revealing the gap and an appropriate sized fondant tool can minimize the transition and give a clean look but the tape and a wet finger can do well enough.

This. Now they will move to another chan and Reddit, until they banned there.
- Comment on An Alarming Number of Gen Z Ai Users Think It's Conscious 3 weeks ago:
They also are the dumbest generation with a COVID education handicap and the least technological literacy in terms of mechanics comprehension. They have grown up with technology that is refined enough to not need to learn troubleshooting skills past “reboot it”.
How they don’t understand that a LLM can’t be conscious is not surprising. LLMs are a neat trick, but far from anything close to consciousness or intelligence.
- Comment on The problem with Disney live action remakes is they're trying to appeal to a younger audience. If Cameron Dias can't be Cinderella, what's the point? 3 weeks ago:
That is part of the motivation. They are a media company and need to keep releasing anything they can to make more money. They are seemingly unable to come up with fresh IP at an acceptable pace, so they just shit out live actions and sequels that are just financial black holes.
- Comment on The problem with Disney live action remakes is they're trying to appeal to a younger audience. If Cameron Dias can't be Cinderella, what's the point? 3 weeks ago:
They are making movies to cater to a zeitgeist curated by a vocal minority via censorship, harassment, and emotional manipulation.
If they stayed true to the source material for live action or CGI remake, they would do fine. What they have been making is live action reimagining through a minority contempory lens that alienates the majority of their fanbase.
The worst part of their new direction is the pandering. Don’t just make an established character that was white a minority or alter the story to conform to some new philosophy, that is just lazy and everybody sees it. They need to come up with new stories with new new characters from a marginalized minority, like Moana or Lilo and Stitch. Nobody will honestly care about seeing a world through a minority charactersls view. Viewers didn’t care with Pocahontas or Mulan because they were an honest attempt at making an origional and good movie that happens to feature an American minority.
Don’t make Cinderella black, make an original story about a black character like Black Panther. Don’t make an empowered feminist, make an empowered feminist and tell her origional story like Mulan. Tell us new stories and make them appealing because they are interesting.
Also don’t beat a dead horse with a sequel that can never be as good as the first one because their story is told and trying to capitalize with “but wait, there’s more” after the book is closed.
They are going after low-hanging fruit one person asked for and wonder why few are satisfied.
- Comment on China's latest flying car prototype showcases a breakthrough in urban air mobility, offering a glimpse into how low-altitude flight could soon integrate with everyday transport. 3 weeks ago:
It isn’t that complex. The problem with current autonomous driving is the car can only infer what other cars are doing and what is around it, especially if we are talking about an autonomous car with idiotic vision mapping without lidar.
With a flying car that is directed by an AI that knows where every other flying object is, what every flying object is going to do, and the locations of every stationary object based on maps and lidar on the vehicle, you can keep collisions far less likely. Taking the human control out of the picture improves the conditions substantially.
I wouldn’t trust a flying car at all, but I would trust an autonomous one with AI ATC far more than an autonomous car going through a construction zone on a highway in a major city during rush hour.

The problem with an air ambulance idea is you need to make it big enough to work on a patient and it needs to be big enough to hold enough battery to have enough range. You could maybe have one big enough for working on the patient, but with a shorter range, with the only advantage over a helicopter being a smaller area needed to land.
I think it will be a Segway of the air, meaning only “rich” douchbags and sightseeing companies use them in America until enough people die. Opulent presenting countries will use them for headlines like Dubai and SE Asian countries will have them for the police tactical units.

Special licensing that is on-par with a helicopter license is needed immediately. They also need to establish travel corridors for commercial drones and flying cars. Delivery drones and flying cars without corridors just means debris fields.
The alternative is autonomous AI trafficked flying cars that is networked with all commercial drone traffic, but that is 5-10 years away from being reliable and possible.
Regardless, the big issue is safety, a helicopter can land without the engine running. A flying car can also land without power, but not as softly and with less survivability.
