@StarsSuck I was drafted and went for my pre induction physical at the famed,of Alice's Restaurant, Whitehall Street pre induction Center. That was pretty scary. Ended up failing the physical.

@Jett129 Hope they didn't send you to the "Group W" bench

[Jett129]

@nurunuru Nope,but we were warned against anyone trying any shenanigans.

I think rejection of AI is actually the play here. Its energy use is completely unsustainable.

[SKT]

@sabergirl I’m on board with this.

@popvulture really glad I read that yesterday. My phone updated last night and if I’d not been lucky enough to read your comment yesterday I’d have had a nightmare trying to figure that out thank you!

@sabergirl Energy use or the cost. Every company is losing money and economies of scale don't work for AI.

[popvulture]

@DeeDee85 you bet! Software updates almost always suck, usually some engineer trying to make things "better" just because it makes sense to them, regardless of how it might be for other people. It's nice when they do offer you some way to go back to the way it was before they fucked it up.

[sabergirl]

@Xavras all of the above! This garbage tech is just a circle-jerk if five corporations in a trench coat! I hope that all go catastrophically broke before they cause the speed the heat death of all life as we know it.

We have only ourselves to blame if it also tanks the world economy.

For you guys talking about pulling up all tabs on an iPhone you should also be able to just swipe up from the bottom address bar and it goes right to all tabs.

Was supposed to be travelling to Japan this Friday with Alex........Via Doha.

We are not now......

[sabergirl]

Geez. Probably for the best to avoid that part of the world at the moment. Sorry your trip got disrupted.

[nurunuru]

Iran..?

I damn near sprinted.

Recent world events have exposed pathological aggression, greed, megalomania, and a low level of culture in people. Every little king is a Napoleon. What's stopping us from living and communicating harmoniously? Buying jeans from each other and wearing them together. Visiting friends and drinking tea. Politics is a gathering of scoundrels.

[Bridger]

Good words @Walery-Smirnoff.

Not to make light of your post, but I think A Gathering of Scoundrels is an excellent name for a metal festival

[Walery Smirnoff]

@Bridger I haven't been to a rock concert in seven years. The last band to come to us was Nazareth, in 2019. Then came this damned COVID, and then a small war of madmen.

[Bridger]

Let's hope this shitshow ends soon @Walery-Smirnoff and you can get back to rockin' my friend.

[Walery Smirnoff]

@Bridger Music is always with me. By the way, until they cut off our internet, I listen to American and English music on the radio. Local music makes me sick.

[nurunuru]

I have a plan to reduce public littering by 90%.

Ban dogs in public.
Outlaw Fireball miniatures.

Done.
