I used to own a PT Cruiser. Technically it was a minivan.

Must be a complete frame under there now that I think of it, because PT Cruisers are FWD. More of a funny car than an engine swap.

Jayzus. Hope they beefed up the unit body or at least the front subframe. Those things are way less stiff than a Neon because they’re basically a rectangular box. Hellcat torque could twist it into a spiral.

Younger people have more subcutaneous fat in their faces, even when they’re thin. Once you get into your later 20s it starts to go away and people turn to fillers and whatnot. That’s why Isabella Rossellini said she had to choose between her waistline and her face, and chose her face.

A, she doesn’t and B, she’s very thin, which tends to make people look older.

Also they’re robots stealing pretty good blue-collar jobs. Burn them all.

Good luck with that, dipshit. The only Russian naval arm that has ever been the TINIEST bit effective is submarines, and your broke ass can’t afford them.

This is 100% your call and you should decide what feels right and when.

Dammit, don’t make me feel bad for them.

The only good robot car is a dead robot car and that goes double for those robot delivery carts blocking the goddam sidewalk.

That cop deliberately aimed at the camera lens and missed. Those bean bag guns are very inaccurate.

No lies detected. Succinct, utterly accurate summing up of Stephen Miller. Man deserves a raise.

Using “my” in the “if I were NG” sense. I retired from the Navy Reserve nearly five years ago.

And no shortage of dumb, testosterone-poisoned Trumper officers.

Yeah, no shit, there are a LOT of Trumper Joes who would shoot somebody for setting a car on fire or throwing stuff at ICE.

Not to mention my activation orders aren’t legal because the president hasn’t invoked the Insurrection Act. The Guard should just have their JAG push back until dummy complies with the law.

Trump really has no idea what “thank you for your attention to this matter” means. His language comprehension skills are right up there with a moderately trained parrot.

He’s terrified Trump is going to cancel his contracts and subsidies.

Mine are mostly trying to sell me switchblades for $20. I dunno exactly when transporting switchblades across state lines became legal again, but legit ones are $60.

“Fart” was a horrific swear that would get you an R rating in the ‘80s. True story. You could use homophobic slurs all day long, but no butt-whistle references.

Two thirds of the Meta ads I see are straight-up scams. I went on Trip dot com and was almost dumb enough to rent a car for $8 a day in LA before I thought to google it. Scammy rip-off company.

That makes it WORSE! So obviously deliberate.

Cats get mad about it, though, because you PUT that thing there that they got their claw stuck in.

My experience of this shit is from the military, and all that privatization and lean workforce shit has just led to rusty ships with sailors too tired not to steer into collisions. And it costs MORE.

Fuck Ralph Nader. We would not be here if Gore had won. Strictly a fucking vanity spoiler campaign.

He doesn’t have a South African accent so much as sounding like a text-to-speech app of a South African trying to do a California accent.

I would expect Customs to show up and confiscate it if i tried to import it to Georgia. Don’t say it couldn’t happen; this is Trumpworld.

I was a D&D nerd in high school but also played a lot of half-court basketball with my nerd friends. That’s what I did instead of going to the senior prom.

Hyper accurate that neither Mace nor Trump knows how to use a spatula; are we sure this is AI-generated?

That’s a high-falutin’ way to describe a dick-measuring contest right there.

All I ever see in Dan’s piggy lil eyes is anger and confusion. He’s not exactly sure why he’s mad because he’s not great at like knowing stuff, but he’s definitely mad.

In Trump’s defense, his family had become Swedish by 1944, but they still remembered Das Vaterland.

There’s a model village in the Cotswolds that has a model village in it with a teeny model village in THAT.

That is not generative AI.
comment in response to
post
That’s not Gen AI. That’s machine learning and it’s fine. It is also very specialized to industries and is not the stuff that helps you cheat on your homework.
comment in response to
post
You don’t have to interact with AI. It works worse than the tools it is replacing or being grafted to.
comment in response to
post
Generative AI likely won’t exist in a few years because there is no profit potential. It is EXTREMELY expensive to operate and the cost is being hidden because it’s an investment scam. The greater utility (and increased hallucinating) is a product of increasing network size.

Slight clarification: the Tu-22M is a completely different aircraft from the Tu-22. The story conflates them. Some of the aircraft that were damaged were Tu-22Ms, a much more capable platform than the obsolete Tu-22, which is no longer in service.

I will say, I use GPS a lot but mainly to find a friend’s house or to avoid traffic jams.
