Me too, but it's better late than never

I get that people think that but it's a stupid take really. Hearing loss is a big contributor to senility.

Just on statistics, it seems unlikely that in the period of time that coconuts have been floating around that they would only have made it there about the same time as explorers. Surely if they could make it there floating then they would have much earlier.

Imagine if they had instead hired 500,000 people on $100,000 each. They could have bought the entire city of Detroit and had it making Teslas, instead they've got one coked up narcissist.

I give the old ones a pass because they were made outside of Hollywood, on tiny budgets, with relatively unknown actors. The new ones cost millions and were full of big names throughout the whole production.

Mad Max Fury Road. I honestly don't understand how people like it. The storyline is paper thin to the point of being almost missing. I guess the steampunk motif is good if you're into that, but the rest of the movie was just trash.

I remember thinking how "lucky" we were that COVID-19 was relatively mild, compared to say the original SARS which had a 10%+ mortality rate. This is a two edged sword though, because we shot our load on COVID-19 and too many people aren't going to accept restrictions again. There's a fair segment of society who will work against any efforts at public health now.

Yeah but they're arab lives, so they don't count them.

Just like chromium is safe from Google?

WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Signal, etc. It's hardly the end, the market has just been gobbled up by the big players as usual

Me too. I hope they're different people

All future AI will have autocorrect errors and will look like no one read it before hitting enter. You're welcome.

I still remember mine too. I wonder what useful information I could remember if I didn't remember shit like this?

It's so much so that every news article that quotes it still says "X, formerly Twitter".

I just found the Streisand effect amazing here. I would never have gone to the NGA and seen this painting, but I've seen it now.

They had to do what daddy America told them to. Remember what happened to the last Australian government who went against the USA.

It would look bad for a lot of governments if we knew what our militaries did. McBride's information looked bad for multiple governments so they all agreed to use him as an example.

I use a 55" 4k TV. The screen real estate is great.

Even the most secure VPN technology is only as secure as the endpoint.

I genuinely read the headline and thought "Good on them for standing up for the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians imprisoned in Gaza", and then I realised the truth.
