I’ve noticed that with Facebook. Facebook will push conflict to my feed excessively hard, to the point that spending not even 30 seconds there will start making me angry. I refuse to use Facebook at all anymore.

Maybe you just dropped a tab of acid and realized you don’t want to have regrets on your deathbed: “What if I regret having worked too much? What if creating value for the stakeholders is not the ultimate purpose of life?”
You don’t need to drop acid to understand what’s happening right in front of your face.

I feel like a lot of time travelers would have this same idea. Maybe that’s why they got popular…oh…oh no.
New conspiracy theory just dropped, boys

Teenagers are old enough to understand consequences.
In fact, my neighborhood nearly burned down last week because a teenager, despite being told “no” and “stop” multiple times - including by neighbors - decided to light off fireworks on the mountainside right behind the neighborhood.
Red arrow is my house. We were damn lucky the wind was blowing the right direction. If this had happened the day before, the neighborhood would be gone.

ruining the life of a 13 year old boy for the rest of his life with no recourse
And what about the life of the girl this boy would have ruined?
This is not “boys will be boys” shit. Girls have killed themselves over this kind of thing (I have personal experience with suicidal teenage girls, both as a past friend and as a father).
I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect an equivalent punishment that has the potential to ruin his life.
- Comment on Kids are making deepfakes of each other, and laws aren’t keeping up 1 week ago:
I did say equitable punishment. Equivalent. Whatever.
A written apology is a cop-out for the damage this behaviour leaves behind.
Something tells me you don’t have teenage daughters.

Except, you know, the harassment and assault (remember, assault doesn’t need contact to qualify as such) of said deepfaked individual. Which is sexual in nature. Sexual harassment and assault of a child using materials generated based on the child’s identity.
Maybe we could have a name for it. Something like Child-based sexual harassment and assault material… CSHAM, or maybe just CSAM, you know, to remember it more easily.

In the case of US govt, the AI part of the bill they voted against was the part that blocked regulations on AI for a period of 10 years.
In case that wasn’t clear, the US govt voted in favor of regulating AI. 99-1.

You’ve driven on a gravel road behind other cars and never had a windshield crack? Not even a rock chip?
Now I know you’re full of shit.
- Comment on $440 Charge For A Wheel Scuff Raises Questions About Hertz's AI Rental Car Damage Scanner 2 weeks ago:
You don’t even have to be on a gravel road. My van’s windshield got cracked the other day simply from a pebble getting kicked up from a passing car.
- Comment on $440 Charge For A Wheel Scuff Raises Questions About Hertz's AI Rental Car Damage Scanner 2 weeks ago:
Normal wear and tear isn’t the renter’s problem in any way, shape, or form; and that includes dings and scratches on the paint, wheels, glass, and interior, simply from everyday use and being exposed to the elements. Anything outside of unreasonably extreme damage is entirely on the rental company simply for the fact that they are the ones who own the car. This is part of why I will never use my vehicle for anything outside personal usage.
I, and thousands of other customers every single day, already pay over $500 (or much, much more) just for the privilege of being given the keys to a new-ish vehicle for 3 days. On top of whatever other bullshit they try to tack on. Where the fuck do you think that money goes? Given that price, I expect the vehicle to be clean, properly maintained (they get the bare minimum, btw, I’ve witnessed this firsthand from the shop side; they won’t even replace wiper blades unless a customer brings it up), and every single square inch to be inspected and documented, with “wear and tear” clearly defined in customer-friendly terms - none of this bullshit “redefining of commonly-accepted terms” that every corporation seems to be jerking it to these days.
Cars are not investments; they never have been. Cars are highly-complex machines that serve multiple purposes. Machines that require regular maintenance, inspection, and repair. Rental companies, like every other company, are charging more and more for less and less.
Why?
Because “line must go up”.

It’s easy to armchair quarterback when you have the benefit of hindsight.
Go ride a motorcycle and then come back and tell us how many pebbles got enough in your direction, despite following at safe distances. I can assure you that you will be very surprised.

Yes, I am projecting, I will fully admit that. Which is why, as a watch person, I went with a smart watch solution that doesn’t mine my data.
