I want to be cremated but I also want to be guillotined before being shoved into the fire. Knowing that the likelihood of that actually happening is slim to none, I’m in inclined to request a viewing even though I don’t want one just so they replace my blood with embalming fluid, at least that would ensure I’m dead.

I only know this because he’s from my area and still does charity work in the area, Travis Kelce. Honestly I couldn’t care less about celebrity lives, but from what I’ve seen in local press he does seem to be a good guy.
- Comment on It's still a crust, mom 3 weeks ago:
Not denying that it is, but 20 years ago I was a contractor with Smuckers corporate aviation department and these had just come out, they were giving them away to promote them and I tried a few… they were REALLY good. I get why parents give them to their kids, both parents having to work long days sometimes two jobs, kids need food fast that they will eat, these for the bill.
Now as for the this being an American thing, just let me put on some kid rock, an overpriced Chinese made hat that claims the country I’m about to say is the best, isn’t great, and put a bag over my head to kill a bunch of brain cells. Ok I think I’m ready.
Look here libtard this is the greatest country in the world, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and if you don’t like it well then love it or leave it, cuz you know what we beat the Russians, PUNTIN IS GREAT, and their libtard socialism, I know that cuz I learned it in public school that I got to on public transportation that operates on public roads, just proof that America is better than socialism, the public provided that, not them queery socialists, and the public is to busy being hard working Americans holding down two or three jobs to be able to take the time to cook healthy meals for their kids, and besides high fructose corn syrup is good for ya, it’s got corn which is healthy and syrup which comes from freakin trees, now you ain’t going to tell me corn and trees are unhealthy?
Ok I can’t do that anymore, I was starting to piss myself off.

There was a pro-nazi movement in the U.S. in the 1930’s. They had a nazi rally in Madison Square Garden. The nazis went underground for the most part after the U.S. entered WW2.
- Comment on STRAIGHT 2 JAIL 3 weeks ago:
I couldn’t agree more, why I remember the first time I saw Airplane! it was during the war, my wingman George Zipp suggested the film while we were on R&R. I agreed to go with him, more to keep him company than an actual desire to see the film, but to my surprise I actually enjoyed it. On our way home we stopped by a disco… <entire comment section self-immolates>
- Comment on STRAIGHT 2 JAIL 3 weeks ago:
I get it, my dad worked in corporate aviation, my aunt worked in commercial aviation, and I worked in cargo aviation. I also have a little second hand knowledge of military aviation. Anytime there’s something with planes in TV or film, I cringe… well except for Airplane! but that should go without saying.
- Comment on Why aren't you creating more workers?? 4 weeks ago:
Born in 84, I’ve noticed something of a trend in my area. Late gen X and late millennials are having children, most are having two or three, but a lot of people like me born in the mid 80’s aren’t. While this is by no means universal, there does seem to be more people within five years of my age going without kids.
- Comment on Perplexity AI is complaining their plagiarism bot machine cannot bypass Cloudflare's firewall 4 weeks ago:
I get the centralization concerns, but I would think that’s on the consumer since there are other options. As for the fascist content, as another commenter said, they could risk their safe harbor if they started stated regulating content that they weren’t legally required to regulate.
Just my thoughts.

This. Everybody wanted it to be AGI right out of the gate. It’s just a tool, like Photoshop. It will get better over time but it’s not the end all be all.
- Comment on Roku launches Howdy, a $2.99 ad-free streaming service 1 month ago:
When I saw the ad for this on my Roku I thought it was just some western channel based on the name and color scheme. It wasn’t until I saw an article about it that I even knew what it was. I looked into it, my thoughts are, terrible branding, terrible marketing, terrible discovery on the website.
I don’t see anything that I don’t already own that I would want to watch, but since the website search sucks I don’t know if there’s more to see or not.
Based on all that, I’m not even willing to blow $2.99 one time to see if it gets better in the app because I doubt it will.

- Comment on Should I unplug my smart tv from the internet? 1 month ago:
TIL. I first encountered Sceptre during lockdown when I needed better monitors than I was sent home with. I’ve been impressed and have bought two more since then for other devices. And about two years ago I bought one of their dumb TVs, and it’s worked flawlessly.

- Comment on Should I unplug my smart tv from the internet? 1 month ago:
TVs don’t seem to be a core business for them, I get the impression that they are a monitor focused business. Of course it’s not hard to upgrade a monitor to a TV so why not?
They do list all their products on their website so maybe check there?
- Comment on Should I unplug my smart tv from the internet? 1 month ago:
Yes.
Get a dumb TV, I’ve had great luck with the Specter brand, and hook up a set top box for your smart functionality.
Smart TVs spyon you, report on you, eat bandwidth even when off, and become out dated quickly.

They changed their business model from a mode of transport to a mode of vacation. The profits for major cruise lines are in the billions so really it’s more than surviving.
Industry adapts or changes, buggy makers become car companies, radio stations started also broadcasting TV signals, cable companies started offering Internet, and cruise lines started offering vacations rather than transportation.
As for airships, they were set back by The Hindenburg and USS Akron & Macon crashing. But they are starting to make a comeback, most are just focusing on cargo ships at the moment. It’ll take time since The Hindenburg is burned into everyone’s brain, but as people get used to seeing cargo blimps and larger cargo airships flying around and not crashing, they may just come to accept it and treat it like a mini cruise ship. Spend a few days flying over scenic spots and relaxing then disembark.

I was just pointing out that they still exist, basically they adapted and remained in business.

As always, there’s an xkcd for that…lol
To quickly further expand on my previous example with a few I thought of afterwards,
- the wax cylinder will kill live music
- the radio will kill live music
- the TV will kill radio
- the airplane will kill the cruise lines
- Comment on Need a keyboard with a dedicated "slop" button 1 month ago:
Seriously, I don’t get the issue but I understand the phenomenon. It’s like painters when the camera was invented,
“cameras will put us out of work, cameras are lower quality, anyone with a camera can just take a picture!”
Painters are still around, painted art is still desired and expensive. It will be the same over time with AI, we just have to wait for people to get over it.
- Comment on Surprise! 1 month ago:
This was my ex girlfriend, she had her a girlfriend when we met but they both understood that she was more attracted to men. We had a sit down early on and agreed that from time to time they would need some alone time, and that worked until they broke up over money.
The funny part was they were both bi, my girlfriend was more attracted to men, and her girlfriend was more attracted to women. So I saw both sides of it.
- Comment on Imagine if Amazon and all jobs out there were cooperatively owned? 1 month ago:
It’s called leveraged borrowing, it’s how the billionaire class pays for things. The banks typically give them super low rates and generous terms on these types of loans.
So what Elon did was took a loan against his assets, Tesla stock, at a low APR with very loose repayment terms, then paired that with money pledged by a few other minority investors and that’s how he was able to quickly come up with 44 billion to buy Twitter.

To paraphrase Al Franken, I like Martha Stewart more than others, and I hate Martha Stewart.
Also, fuck Elon.
