Solid context that I hadn’t considered. Thanks.

It took some time for me to realize that not finding a continuous stream of new content was a feature and not a flaw. It meant that there was no algorithm feeding me an endless stream of crap in hopes of keeping me glued to the screen. It meant I could close the app and move on with my day and check back much later. That realization made me embrace it.

Last month when I went on vacation, I caught something while on the vacation. I would have sworn it was Covid or flu but tests came back negative. Just a bad viral infection. I guess those still exist.

I actually just discovered that song by accident today lol. It was for a Venom movie? Weird collab but he’s always had a bit of the social commentary piece to him. This album just seems to be leaning more on the heavier sound.

Edit: OH! Hold the Line! I forgot about that one.

Grandson’s new album seems to be shaping up to have those tones. First released tracks hit them pretty pointedly. He’s not as refined as some of the artists you mentioned, though.

I’m honestly surprised your’s is not the top comment. Like, whatever, the launch was bad, but there is a serious mental health crisis if people are forming emotional bonds to the software.

I share the same feeling. The flat lifeless interfaces need to go.

Meta also expected the meta-verse to be the future of the web and thus rename their company, Meta lol

I have unknown numbers forwarded directly to voicemail on iOS, but yeah I’m getting a bunch too.

Man, I can’t stand this guy. He thinks dressing like a healing guru makes him any different than the rest of his peers. No one should give a shit about what he thinks anymore.

lol I got burned by that one too.

I’ve always said that AR was the real future. Technology that isolates people from others in the same room as them always seems to fail.

It seems like you want to be with her because she’s here right now and you’d rather have someone than no one. You wouldn’t be hesitating otherwise. You effectively told her that, too.

If you don’t think you can commit and she’s looking for that, you should let her go.

15 years? Wow. He could have run down multiple pedestrians, killed one of them, and used a false insurance claim to try to cover it up and gotten a third of that.

Holy crap

Can Elmo say the word if Elmo is singing his favorite song?

If you feel comfortable doing so, you could ask for insight into why your application wasn’t considered. You can try to phrase it around making it a learning moment for you: Can you explain to me why my application wasn’t considered so that I can be better prepared the next time an opportunity arises? The person being asked the question will be less likely to see it was an attack and more of a humble question from a person who values their insight.

I loved the first 3 Burnout games. I HATED Paradise. I just greatly dislike open world racing games.

I can’t imagine anyone wants this lol. I’m surprised it’s not somehow managed by “AI”
