  I would wager he wasn’t paying attention. I wonder how many social media posts he made during that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One major issue with social media is that it operates on a first come, first served basis. This essentially rules out the possibility of well-considered, well-researched content being successful.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Says the guy with 4 upvotes.

  I know I should not engage, but you want to compare the richest country in the world to some of the poorest? Intellectual dishonesty is the least of your crimes.

  I can totally see that commercial, sandwiched between an ad for legal drugs, and another for lawyers. I only know one country where those are common.

  Schrodinger’s shut-in!

  My guess is…the filter stopped making changes because it no longer recognizes it as a face. So you’re right there.

  I feel your pain.

  “It’s just money that can’t go to other financial things,” said Matt Schulz, chief credit analyst at LendingTree. 

  Whoa, slow down on the jargon there , Matt.

  But isn’t it the article about the negligent article that is paywalled?

  Ah, good. Thanks

  Am I?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mexican Navy training ship hits New York's Brooklyn Bridge⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  We trained them wrong on purpose, as a joke!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First US Pope Leo XIV warns against exploitation at inaugural mass⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Apparently US only, if anyone is wondering.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Only people with money don't understand that being morally just while poor means your threading a needle through a litany of only bad choices.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But not for lack of choice, that’s the point here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Social media sites should have 'reverse' Parental Controls; where adult children can block their boomer/senior parents' accounts from viewing conspiracy and radicalizing content.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Very good idea there. I’m starting to have to keep track of my parents passwords (because they don’t) and removing spam/disinformation from their Facebook/email/YouTube regularly might resolve many issues.

  Like someone mentioned, shoveling the shit. Can’t stopped it from getting there, but I can remove it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Social media sites should have 'reverse' Parental Controls; where adult children can block their boomer/senior parents' accounts from viewing conspiracy and radicalizing content.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  True. I also wanted a senior mode on Apple family groups.

  Aren’t they just releasing anything, just to avoid copyrights expiring?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel like if asbestos was banned today there'd be a huge pro-asbestos movement⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not specifically, also any and all social media. Influencers in general are a cancer on society

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨donuts to dollars⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s like one of those timed gacha games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And then I'll sell my AI, so everyone can make drawings - EVERYONE can be an artist! And when everyone's an artist... no one will be⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Transition periods are usually hard, for some

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And then I'll sell my AI, so everyone can make drawings - EVERYONE can be an artist! And when everyone's an artist... no one will be⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I love your take. And extrapolating from it a bit, a lot of what we consider ‘artists’ weren’t really making ‘art’, as you define it. They were (and mostly still are) drawing/painting, etc pictures as a means to an end. For money; and now they are mad or worried or scared (with reason) about losing their livelihood. Because a cheaper, not necessarily better but certainly with a better cost/benefit ratio, comes along.

  Ah, got it. If I try, I might practice in the shower first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Light switches should be glow in the dark⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hahaha, thanks. I also enjoy watching movies from the middle, and trying to figure out what us going on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RFK JR just told us Elon Musk can't use the toilet unassisted⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  TIL

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RFK JR just told us Elon Musk can't use the toilet unassisted⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmmm, how do you minimize the risk of peeing on your own face?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Light switches should be glow in the dark⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Which may be a feature if you want/need total darkness to sleep.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Light switches should be glow in the dark⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Same. Maybe we suffer from the same malady? Let me know if you ever get a diagnosis.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RFK JR just told us Elon Musk can't use the toilet unassisted⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I clean it anyway, so the efficiency from standing is a free gain to me.

  I think you mean you sit down so you don’t have to clean it? (Or not as often)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel like if asbestos was banned today there'd be a huge pro-asbestos movement⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Like that sandwich with “recipe created by AI” on the label?

  And I mean someone who claims cigarettes don’t cause cancer are financially responsible if anyone who smokes a cigarette gets cancer. No need to prove they watched the channel or started smoking after seeing their video.
