It’s why I cancelled SiriusXM a while back. I’m paying for the service so atop playing ads. And at the time it was like the same ad over and over. God it was infuriating.

- Comment on AI error jails innocent grandmother for months in North Dakota fraud case 5 days ago:
This is the part that infuriates me. The cops that fucked up will face no repercussions. It’s the tax payers that will foot the bill for this obviously incoming lawsuit and settlement. The solution is clear. Make cops get the equivalent of doctor’s malpractice insurance. Then make the insurance companies pay the settlement. And when the cops insurance payments go up, the cop has to pay. Or stop being a cop because they suck at it. Problem solved.

- Comment on Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US 1 week ago:
Well that too but I was thinking of the riders. I’m assuming only women can request women drivers.
Or is this just a shit to uber being all women drivers?
Women want women driver because of safety. Men want women drivers because men.
- Comment on Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US 1 week ago:
So does this mean there is going to gender verification to go along with age verification?
Seems like something that would happen in this timeline.
- Comment on [Zack Freedman] You can copy and 3D print perfect spare parts! (Legally) (Probably) 1 week ago:
Or find a 3d model of a drive and see how that matches up before you print anything.
- Comment on Are achievements still relevant in 2026—especially when mods disable them? 1 week ago:
Achievements basically boil down to “does it matter to me that other people see that I’ve accomplished something” and that only matters “if it matters to other people that my achievements are worth knowing”. It’s essentially trying to generate interest in a game by creating this social competition and of course FOMO. So I guess it’s just social media advertising.
In my case none of this matters. I play mostly single player games because I enjoy them, not because I care what other people think. Having that info in game is sometimes cool if I want to know I’ve finished everything there is to finish.
From a game developers standpoint this data could be useful. Is this part being used? How long does it take? At what part in the game did they accomplish it? That sorta thing. The publishing of that data in a public space is different beast.
