I'm here for it. Let's speed run the next cosmic reboot.

I gave up. I own my name as a domain.

So if my name was John Doe, as an example, my domain would be Johndoe.com and my email would be John@Johndoe (dot) com.

My name isn't John Doe.

Gmail is cool and all, but it's pretty sweet to have my custom domain name and email.

The domain I really want is just my last name, so I can be firstname@lastname (dot) com.

Unfortunately my last name isn't uncommon and the last time I checked, the squatters on the domain were asking like $3k usd for it.

All kind of nope on that.

You're thinking of dinner. A diner is a place that serves food.

Yeah. That last bit of your edit is the entire reason why I doubt any of the numbers .... Him scoring higher than me, that's kind of expected.

Bluntly, if I'm actually in the top 2%, then I don't want to live on this planet anymore... Because I'm downright goddamned removed at times.

I don't mean removed as a slur, I mean, I exhibit traits of someone who is mentally held back (aka mentally removed).

Don't at me.

Edit. Dunno why that word is now "removed" ... Some automod thing I'm sure; I'll let you all fill in the gaps.

As they say, there's two kinds of people in the world, those that can extrapolate from incomplete data.

Oh right, let me correct my wording.

Thanks.

I know, I was certainly spending time with him during the alleged attack. He couldn't have done it while sat across from me at that diner, many miles away from where the crime happened.

Did someone light a match? Is he being cremated?

They can where I live. While I might "own" the land, I'm in Canada and there's a very specific and technical legal definition, I never "own" anything. The land is owned by the crown, and we lowly peons get to "buy" (or lease in perpetuity for a one time set cost, plus property taxes every year) the land we live on.

The Crown, and by extension, the government acting on behalf of the crown, can do whatever the fuck they want, including telling you what you can, and cannot do with your land, and whether you can turn it into a trash heap.

Many other places are the same, though, not as technically/legally screwed; I don't have to look any further than city zoning to know that similar (in effect, not implementation) rules exist for everyone. Zoning means you can't just turn your plot of land into an industrial manufacturing operation because you feel like it. That's the government telling you what you can (or cannot) do with your property. There's plenty more examples and rules that limit people's freedoms as to what they can do with "their" property, if you do any research at all.

Don't be such a spoon.

Law enforcement vs Mangione.

The people want him freed. 🖕

Especially since I was hanging out with Luigi all evening and into the morning, during the time he allegedly was killing some guy.

Clearly he couldn't have done it, we were hanging out.

I think the guy he allegedly killed, had a name that started with.... I think it was a d? David? Derek? Dddddouchebag. Douchebag, yeah. I think the person that died was a massive douchebag.

That seems right to me ....

The part that I hate about it is obliging future homeowners to participate.

I get that the obligation was the main reason why HOA types wanted to build HOAs, but I'll never live under an HOA. As soon as I'm aware there's an HOA involved, I'm out. Burn the paperwork. I'm not buying it.

.... Not that I plan on moving ever again.

My city has bylaws for that sort of thing. I can't let my grass turn into a jungle either. That's also a bylaw. Shoveling snow into the street? Guess what, bylaw.

Don't need an HOA full of overbearing Karen's to Lord over me about what color I painted my garage on top of the fairly loose bylaws that I also need to abide by.

At least with bylaws they're enforced by public workers, not Karen from next door.

HOAs are full of crazies.

Cities are usually fine..... Not all cities though.

I did an online one in the early days of the Internet, and scored a 137. I have zero faith it has any accuracy. My buddy also did it and got a 145, I believe his is above mine but still, no faith that the numbers are correct.

IQ tests are deeply and inherently flawed, usually based on the fact that you can both quickly read, understand the intent of the question, and respond with whatever the writer of the test feels is correct in a timely fashion.

And if you don't realize how much of what I just wrote is subjective based on lived experience, and specific parameters about you that have nothing to do with how intelligent you are, then congratulations, you're probably above average.

I hope the little guy got all fixed up.

Thanks, I hate it.

AI is the embodiment of "oh no, anyways"

I hear you, but 5% seems high for that.

Wayyyyyy more than that is wasted.
