I’d rather do that than arm people with assault rifles so they can live in remote rural areas where herds of feral pigs are an issue. Yes this is an actual argument people make in favor of keeping assault rifles legal. “What if I need to stop a stampede of 80 feral hogs? This is a weekly occurrence on my property.”

Frankly, if feral hogs have you running scared, it’s not your property, it’s theirs.

Ironically, I could not reach the end of the list because the fucking ads kept reloading the page and scrolling me to the top. Anyone know which of these 6 would block that?

Yeah OP needs to define what “slow” means to them. You could say that a one-week delayed effect is slow. Or you could say that it’s only slow if it takes months of exposure.

Maybe not, but maybe so. It’s probably hard to control your reaction to the sound of a freight train about to run you over.

Right. So take the guy who made the cool solution and put him where the user need is. Seems like a good move to me. Any change for Siri seems like a good move.

Because yeah, sugar just isn’t cheap enough in America.

At least there’s a market for Siri.

I don’t think anyone believes the Vision Pro sucks as much as Siri.

I don’t think any of the videos faithfully recreate what people heard, but in the ones I saw, there was a noise like an enormous airplane about to crash right on the site. A tremendous crescendoing whooshing scream. Everybody freaked out, ducked, and ran up against the buildings for cover. Many seemed to think some kind of vehicle was coming down the street toward them. It was insane.

In all this Ukraine conflict I have entirely overlooked the domestic PR impact on RC hobbyists. Thank you for your informative post.

I’ve only just heard about BYD yesterday and I’m suddenly hearing from all corners that they are dominating. I’m in the western US. Are they just not in my local market yet?

LOL I knew that was going to be the link :)

Keep those out of my pants too!

He wants to be guaranteed a woman and then to have her loyalty guaranteed.

These are obviously the desires of a man who cannot find and keep the loyalty of a mate just on his own merits. No, he needs the state to help him bag a wife.

I’ve heard it said that marriage was invented by men as a sort of peace agreement to guarantee one woman per man so that no men were totally shut out of sex. In earlier times, when wealthy or powerful men hoarded the women, this led to serious problems from those men on the losing end of the society (rape, terrorism, even war).

So yeah, in essence, this douche is trying to level the playing field between his sorry ass and more successful men.

Get your laws out of my pants.

This. This. This.

Everyone should watch this. Even people who know about rank choice voting.

Reality

Maybe they have more users for the same reason you’re sick of hearing how much easier it is than Mastodon: because it’s easier than Mastodon. Users didn’t spontaneously materialize on BlueSky.

I know you’ll get blowback for this, eye rolls and such about how it’s not that hard, but I’ve been building social software for ordinary humans for almost 25 years and you are quite correct. Honestly the Mastodon PR itself was too complex. Anytime you heard about it, you heard not about what a hot social destination it is, but how cool its distributed technology model is and that shit just flies over most peoples heads and actually scares them into think it will be complex and hard. Then you prompt them to choose an instance and it’s just game over. Ordinary users have the attention span of a fruit fly.
