  • The shame

    Jump

  • Totally this. Find an online calc that accepts fractions and just get it done right in a few seconds vs trying to convert to 16ths or some crap. Which is why I use all metric unless I’m forced into imperial units.

  • The shame

    Jump

  • Like semantic satiation, where you say/hear a word so much it stops making sense, is there one for numbers? Permutation satiation? Trying to do basic, easy mathematical tasks and the numbers stop making sense and begin slipping away.

  • Trump Tells Generals the Military Will Be Used to Fight ‘Enemy Within’

    Jump

  • Love to be a fly on the wall to hear what these generals said privately. How many will be fired vs how many will actively support Orange Hitler’s BS.

  • Halloween is canceled this year

    Jump

  • Sugar tax? Though a quick look suggests that it will be repealed.

  • California police stumped after trying to ticket driverless car for illegal U-turn

    Jump

  • This is the right answer for issues with driverless cars. Ticket the registrant/owner. The State shouldn’t have to fight with a manufacturer to ensure legality in a vehicle’s programming, that’s a losing battle that will cost ridiculous amounts of taxpayer money. Fine vehicle operators so they’ll stop buying vehicles that incur costly fines. Losing customers is the only thing a corporation will listen to.

  • TIL that Toys R Us wasn't killed by competition, but by private equity companies

    Jump

  • Back to the good old corporate raiders like Lorenzo. For a while there we kept them on a leash. Now with the Land of No Consequences and leashes becoming meaningless these leeches are free to buy and pillage as they see fit. The housing market is gonna be destroyed next, wait until they start selling the homes off to shell companies and taking loans to pay for the deteriorating properties and property taxes (which trump has floated getting rid of to keep these hoarders afloat even longer).

  • Democrats leave White House with no deal

    Jump

  • Republicans don’t want a deal. Then they can make up whatever they want about democrats and claim they’re the problem and maneuver for more power grabs.

  • Hail Corporate!

    Jump

  • Um…who actually thinks #3? Apple tells you they sell your stuff and makes app devs tell you. They still sell it, mine it, tailor it for ads, all the same stuff as Google…but just not as pervasive.

  • ‘I do not work for you’: MTG speaks out on growing rift with Trump’s White House over Epstein files

    Jump

  • No, she wants power games and shitting on people. She’s just not ok with Trump playing power games and shitting on her. She’s a terrible person, and I’m all for a battle of idiots between her and Trump.

  • Mormon Church Shooter Had a Trump Sign Outside His House

    Jump

  • Religion loves a martyr. If you’re not a victim, your faith isn’t being tested, how can you then justify your version of your faith?

  • JD Vance admits groceries and housing are too expensive but bizarrely blames Biden

    Jump

  • They’d blame Biden for gravity existing.

  • Cracker Barrel Outrage Was Almost Certainly Driven by Bots, Researchers Say

    Jump

  • They choose… profit.

  • FFS Plex, the server is on my local network

    Jump

  • Aaaand that’s one of the reasons why I got rid of Plex. “Bought” it, then they found some other feature to paywall. Bought that, then another feature. Then it stopped playing files of certain extensions through chromecast. Fuck that. Put together Jellyfin and moved my collection over. Zero trouble since.

  • Watch first, then wipe: Some China’s restrooms put toilet paper behind paywall

    Jump

  • You're kidding, right? Just make the restroom paid…50¢ or whatever the equivalent reasonable price is there. Cash or tap. Not make it impossible to wipe your ass if you have a dead battery, bad connection, no phone, whatever. Also needing to visit a site or download/use an app and being forced to watch yet more ads is BS.

  • Busy day

    Jump

  • Funny that the artist kinda gave up on the “dog” when s/he got below the knee. Just slapped some human-like appendages on there. Can’t unsee it.

  • Stephen Miller Claims Simply Calling Trump Authoritarian 'Incites Violence and Terrorism' | Common Dreams

    Jump

  • …by the regime against the person that points out the authoritarian.

  • Alex Jones sports Hitler mustache in shocking broadcast: 'It had a wild effect on women'

    Jump

  • Omg the desperation. What a cringy simp. PAY ATTENTION TO ME!!1!

  • USUAL in your country but NOT anywhere else.

    Jump

  • Seems like a drastic mislabeling if their “universal” care is the same as the US. That’s like saying we have universal thousand dollar bank accounts. Sure, everyone can get one. You just need to get the $1k first.

  • Disappointed Christians say God is delaying the Rapture until Epstein Files are released

    Jump

  • If only prayer worked. I bet we could get a lot of people to ask God to take all his people ASAP even if we never get to see the Epstein file. The world would be a better place.

  • We don’t memorize phone numbers anymore, we rely on GPS to tell us where to go and Facebook reminds us of birthdays. What else will we stop remembering once AI remembers everything for us?

    Jump

  • The way it’s going…

    AI: Happy Birthday! Other notable people who share your birthday: Adolf Hitler, Mussolini, Charlie Kirk, and many more great historical figures you should hope to praise!
