Why would I not want to meet the Moomins?

Eh, not really. It way more grounded that moat Copaganda shows like Law and Order. Funny too at times, since its a pseudo comedy series.
- Comment on Republican? Democrat? There is a third option: 2 weeks ago:
Nobody gives a shit about the endless holy land war. It sucks that people are dying, but they have basically always been dying because everyone thinks their stupid Sky Daddy Book is the best.
Killing the US over this stupid bull shit is honestly, worse than killing it over the GOP’s shitty policies.

Thats likely too. I will say, as someone who works in telcom, the whole Geofenced ads and cpupons idea was something being pitched like, 10+ years ago. I don’t know if it ever panned out, but it was pushed. The other part was getting say, your Lowes app to ping you with a 5% off coupon for that thing you have been standing in front of pondering for ten minutes.

Yeah, and we have led to a race to the bottom.in a war against ads that everyone hates.
Short term bull shit for long term death.

I enjoyed FH5, but FH4 was better. 5 is the onky one I don’t actually own yet, I basically did everything at launch during a Gamepass trial. I plaued FH4 almost daily for like a year or more.

FH5 came out in 2021.

They cpuld hire some.people to vet the ads.

I am fine if it means I don’t have to watch some scam ass ad.

When I worked there in the late 90s, a Big Mac MEAL was 3.14 after tax.
I worked in Drivethrough checkout a lot and a lot of those prices are burned into my mind, half the time I was not near the register when taking orders and giving totals when it was slow.

Probably not.video, just pinpoint geofencing on your phone.

What I don’t understand. Like, they know people hate shitty ads.
If they had like, literally any level of vetting on the ads, people might actually watch them. But its all fucking scams or podcasts of lies pretending to be ads etc.

Always a planet, fuck scienctists! (Seriously, nerdy chicks are hot, fuck them.")

Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet due to not clearing its orbital path.
Why would they just lie about Pluto like that?

Man, if you get run over by a rocket, even if the drivwr is drunk, I feel like its your own damn fault. Those suckers are huge.

- Comment on AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon study 3 months ago:
The entire concept of agents feels like its never going to fly, especially for anything involving money. I am not going to tell and AI I want to bake a cake and trust that will find the correct ingredients at the right price and the door dash them to me.
- Comment on AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon study 3 months ago:
Because, more often, if you ask a human what “1+1” is, and they don’t know, they will just say they don’t know.
AI will confidently insist its 3, and make up math algorythms to prove it.
- Comment on AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon study 3 months ago:
I find its good at making simple Python scripts.
But also, as I evolve them, it starts randomly omitting previous functions.

During Overwatch Summer Games, they have Lucio all, which is just Rocket League with Lucio, maybe that is what you are thinking of?

Back in my day we paid $30 each for VHS Anime, you had to choose Duns or Subs ad it would be like 2 episodes of a 500 episode series.
So, it could be worse.
- Comment on New Junior Developers Can’t Actually Code. 8 months ago:
I am not a professional coder, just a hobbyist, but I am increasingly digging into Cybersecurity concepts.
And even as an “amature Cybersecurity” person, everything about what you describe, and LLM coders, terrifies me, because that shit is never going to have any proper security methodology implemented.

Rapture already happened as predicted. The problem is, literally no one except like, one dude named Rick in Michigan and the Yang family in a small fishing village in China.
Everyone else got left behind in a spiraling purgatory chaos world.

Do they still let you charge for free on the Tesla network?
Charge it during the day, run your house off of it at night when you are home. Save electricity.
- Comment on Does anyone actually know what MAGA all agree they are getting out of all this? 8 months ago:
Peoppe voting based on border walls, are entirely doing it because they think “all mexicans are violent rapist criminals.”
Its not about jobs or even immigration, its about racism.
If they really cared about jobs they would fight back against all the Indians on H1B Visas taking all the tech sector work.
