  • Motorway changing lane protocol

    Jump

  • I was taught to do that, and I hope everyone does it, even if they think they’re the only car on the road. I’m a very safe but confident and decisive driver, and the number of times I’ve looked over my shoulder and been surprised by what I found is high enough that I will continue to always do it, even if it feels silly. It’s just not worth the risk.

    How did you find leverage to tilt a situation or dynamic in your favor when it would have otherwise seemed hopeless?

  • I always go for the exaggerated thumbs up, especially when someone cuts me off or tailgates me. Really throws them off.

  • I feel loved

  • Ah, the classic loving counterweight paw.

    Also known as the “we’re cuddling, but separately, so please stay away…but only this far away” move.

  • Outraged Republicans blame Tim Walz for satanic display at state Capitol

    Jump

  • Sorry Catholics, but every time I see the depiction of a person tortured, bloodied, and nailed to a piece of wood, my automatic gut reaction is revulsion and disgust. First at the imagery itself, and then more deeply at the fact that otherwise sane people feel like this a completely normal thing to adorn their houses and bodies with. This is no different, people are just not accustomed to seeing Satanic imagery and symbolism in public, which is the whole fucking point.

  • Biden gives life in prison to 37 of 40 federal death row inmates before Trump can resume executions

    Jump

  • I’m glad he did this, but if you’re against the death penalty, then there is no reason for there to be any exceptions. Leaving those three men on death row is the epitome of hypocrisy.

    It’s also not well known that there are currently four men on a different death row for the US military.

  • Where to you keep your half-clean clothing?

    Jump

  • Towards the front of my dresser drawers, or on a reversed hanger in the closet, depending on the type of clothes.

  • How Easy Is It to Get a Humane Label for Meat? Very

    Jump

  • I saw this out of the corner of my eye and thought the headline was about getting a Human Labeled for Meat.

  • It’s okay to let people be angry about things that should enrage everyone with a pulse. Their sentiment is 100% accurate even if their words aren’t perfectly precise.

  • Yeah the Capitol and the Mall are on Federal land, but there are always exceptions to shutdowns, so they’d find a way to get the permits in time. Republicans will be in power regardless, so there’s no way they’ll let a shutdown impact Trump’s inauguration.

  • Well, Congress certifies the presidential election, and inaugurations are organized by a non-governmental committee appointed by the president-elect.

    If the government shuts down, you can be damn sure they’ll still certify Trump’s victory, and the inauguration will go forward regardless, though it may be a bit rougher and less safe than usual. A shutdown wont help us the way you’re hoping.

    Edit: here’s some info on how inaugurations are funded and organized.

  • I barely recognized him from the thumbnail, thought it was an impersonator. That man does not look well.

  • Most iPhone owners see little to no value in Apple Intelligence so far

    Jump

  • Omg I really thought I was the only one. I can never find the setting I want. I think it’s one of those examples where Apple oversimplified to the point of confusion.

  • Most iPhone owners see little to no value in Apple Intelligence so far

    Jump

  • Yeah, you nailed it. The latest reporting on this says that Apple isn't paying them yet, because they think OpenAI will get more benefit out of just having their product in everyone's faces:

    Apple isn’t paying OpenAI as part of the partnership, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the deal terms are private. Instead, Apple believes pushing OpenAI’s brand and technology to hundreds of millions of its devices is of equal or greater value than monetary payments, these people said. Source.

  • I appreciate the clarification! I definitely misinterpreted the reporting about this, and clearly didn't dig deeply enough. This makes me feel a bit better about using the non-ChatGPT features.

    Jump

  • Well shit, thank you. I swear I searched for that setting before, but there it is!

  • What is your favourite fact?

  • That’s awesome! Maybe they should teach us some of their tricks…
