  • TIL the number of pedestrians killed by drivers in the U.S. rose by 70 percent between 2010 and 2023

  • I met a woman who told me that during the pandemic lock downs she made money driving to legal weed states to spend tens of thousands of dollars on weed and flip it back in her state. She also told me that it was really boring so she'd frequently get above 100 while watching a movie on her phone on her dashboard. So that's who's out on the road with you

  • if you believe that aliens are real and have or are visiting earth, what do you hope to see happen if the government or science confirms that?

    Jump

  • I mean, if history is any guide they'll either wipe us all out with superior technology, enslave us, or some space disease will kill us all. Regardless, I'd anticipate it going poorly for humanity

  • Figure AI sued by whistleblower who warned that startup's robots could 'fracture a human skull'

  • A huge point of I, Robot is that there isn't some exact instructions you can give robots that will have them always protect humanity. They have an inherent danger in their literalism

  • If you were forced to play one professional sport as your job until you were 65, which would you pick?

  • Magic: the Gathering

    It's a sport if it was on ESPN!

    What's something which you pay more than "it's worth" for the sake of good quality/experience?

    Jump

  • Paprika. The grocery store stuff may as well be red glitter for all its flavor. I go to specialty spice stores to buy a premium paprika so it actually has taste

  • Liberalism Is Surrendering to the Hard-Right Challenge

    Jump

  • Neoliberals are like libertarians. They're right wing in every way except they're cool with gay people where libertarians like weed

  • "One piece after the 37 episode gets really good"

  • Didn't they already trim down ARR? I thought that was during Endwalker or Dawntrail

    But yeah, very few video games have made me cry and Endwalker was one of them

  • Simplest Path to Jellyfin Access for the Developmentally Disabled

  • Well you see one device is made by Microsoft which has been the defacto way to watch videos for a large chunk of its lifespan and the other gave us UMDs and camcorders with cables that could only connect to Vaio laptops, which were the only devices that supported writing to mini-disc

  • I would not recommend PS5+Plex. I went through the whole set-up and the PS5 couldn't encode over half my videos. When playback did work it was often choppy. I dislike that it has ads all over the place but the ONN Streaming Pro does a way better job as Plex streaming device at $45 than my PS5. Plus the controller will be much easier for simple tech users, you can rebind one of the buttons to go directly to Plex

  • What does that even mean?

    Jump

  • A connection to young people

  • What questions do you like to ask people in pursuit of getting to know them better?

    Jump

  • I'm sure there's multiple versions, that'd be good too. It's mostly just getting people to talk about things they like in their life

  • Typical advice for this is talk about FORD:

    • Family
    • Occupation
    • Relationships
    • Dreams

    and avoid RAPE:

    • Religon
    • Abortion
    • Politics
    • Economics

    FORD is talking about the people they love, where they spend most of their time, and what they're excited about. RAPE is a list of topics that are frequently contentious and that people are bad at having productive conversations about (also don't talk about rape)

  • House members release bipartisan 'principles' for extending Obamacare subsidies

  • The entire for profit Healthcare system is setting up problems for later

  • Zohran Mamdani takes a dig at Andrew Cuomo after Trump endorses him ahead of New York City Mayoral Election

    Jump

  • Man if there's a city that might hate Trump more than DC does it might be New York. New York city residents fucking hate that man, he's been a stain on the city since the 80s

  • That is indeed what Randal concludes in the video

  • North Carolina Is the Canary in the Election Coal Mine | Americans don’t have to imagine what attempts to subvert an election could look like, because it’s already happening in one state.

  • Hey man, I live here. We're not a republican state. We have more registered Democrats than Republicans, and between the two major metropolitan centers (Charlotte and The Triangle) we actually should be voting largely Democrat. However Republicans bunched all those voters into a few districts and then gave rural bumfuck nowhere disproportionate representation on a state level. Then they used that to gerrymander themselves into a supermajority, then used that to start rat fucking the good reps out of districts (pour one out for Jeff Jackson). We literally had maps so fucked up our current supreme court said "that's too far" and all they did was submit shittier and shittier maps until we got stuck with the first unconstitutional one because "we didn't have another option"

    We're not quite a Mississippi where we've been shooting our own feet for decades, Republicans have wrested undue control over the state by being cheaters and it's important for all of you to see that because they'll do it to you too

  • Arguably you don't, considering your matter will likely undergo a fusion reaction with what could nominally be called the ball, you and the ball will make a form of contact

  • What's the most impressive video game mod you've ever come across?

  • Multiverse really does feal like early access FTL 2

  • Diptyx is an open source, dual-screen eReader (crowdfunding)

    Jump

  • Sure, but again, why? People who care about the physical feel of books just get them from the library. People who want something convenient have e-readers. It feels like a worst of both worlds more than a best
