Of all the people in the world that need or should have it mandatory to have round the clock public surveillance … it should be our political leaders

They claim to be working for the people … yet the people never really know what the fuck these leaders are doing

Can I come too? Do you have room for uninvited guests? I won’t talk to anyone or bother anyone … I’ll just eat :)

Once you do enough cooking, you start to realize that most recipes can be rendered down to a few basic components and combinations … and it all depends on what region of the world you’re in, what culture, what foods are available and what you grew up with.

Cooking, preparing, cutting and serving a turkey/chicken is fairly simple if you stick to just the basics … and use a digital thermometer to monitor the internal temperatures

Gravy is a bit of a trick but do it enough times and you get the hang of it … if all else fails, have a packet of instant gravy mix handy (it makes gravy in about ten minutes)

Everything else with the Thanksgiving dinner is basically just boiled vegetables … if you plan on anything more complicated than this, then you are spending the entire day in the kitchen.

Dessert can be very simple or very complicated … depending on how masochistic you want to be … but it’s best to prepare the sweet stuff a day or two ahead of time.

Whatever you do … stay in the kitchen and pay attention to everything that is cooking, baking, frying or boiling … if it’s roasting for hours, stay nearby and be ready to act on it if anything changes or goes bad … in your off time when nothing needs to be done in the kitchen, wash the dishes and clean the space, because you’ll be making a mess again as soon as you start processing food again anyway.

If you’re not cooking, you’re cleaning. If you’re not cleaning, you’re cooking.

Sometimes I feel like my brain is in it’s seventh era

What’s more dangerous for privacy?

To even run Windows at all for personal / business / random use.

You don’t get a SIM

You become a SIMP

It’s not “Gmail can read your emails” … Gmail has been reading your emails for years.

I think they’re programming the ketamine into the LLM at this point

Isn’t it just a limitation of human vision? No matter how much resolution we can create, the human eye will only ever see a certain level of resolution … anything beyond that is imperceptible to us. I think I remember reading that 4K is the maximum we can realistically appreciate and anything beyond that is impractical because no one would ever notice the difference.

The only way higher resolutions work is if you start blowing up the size of the image itself. A 20" wide image at 720p looks good but the same image blow up to 60" becomes noticeably pixelated. A 20" wide image at 8K looks sharp and blown up to 60", it still looks sharp.

The current point of our human civilization is like cave men 10,000 years ago being given machine guns and hand grenades

What do you think are we going to do with all this new power?

It’s great because the internet was initially developed as a decentralized service so that if any part failed, the rest could maintain communications.

Over the past decade, corporations have been actively developing an internet of services that heavily rely on just a small set of services … and if any of them go down, everything is lost.

Planned Obsolescence … designing things for a short lifespan so that things always break and people are always forced to buy the next thing.

It all originated with light bulbs 100 years ago … inventors did design incandescent light bulbs that could last for years but then the company owners realized it wasn’t economically feasible to produce a light bulb that could last ten years because too few people would buy light bulbs. So they conspired to engineer a light bulb with a limited life that would last long enough to please people but short enough to keep them buying light bulbs often enough.

So you’re saying that we should do more AI searches for “Trump Dementia”

… and use variations of it like … “Trump old losing his mind”, “Trump old senile”, “Trump dementia don”, “Donny Dementia”, “Ding Dong Dementia Donny Trump”

Whenever conservatives argue or demand that something be changed because they want it to … you know that any change they make will only last as long as the money is flowing.

I’m looking at my fingertips … realizing that they could have become something else.

I don’t have any academic training, I don’t even have any post secondary education to speak of … but I was able to understand this years ago.

It doesn’t take a genius to understand that if you divert all the wealth of the world to a handful of people at the expense of everyone on the planet … bad things are going to happen to humanity.

If you can’t figure that out … then maybe we’re all just part of the problem.

Same here … all I do is read most of the time … I’m only interested in reading about 2,000 words which shouldn’t take any data … yet Firefox will struggle under the weight of advertising, adblock, scripts, background links, preloading and all kinds of stupidity that I will not and refuse to use.

Every American celebrity is basically a highly paid slave of corporate media. They don’t have an independent voice in public. Anything they say or do is liable to take them off their golden leash and if they really step out of line, they’ll be sent to eternal legal hell to dry up all their money.

The only people you can trust are those that are not tied to any corporate control.

I’d ask for the stupid AI scanning system to scan my car before I agree to renting it. Once they sign off on the ‘all clear’ notification from their AI scanner before rental, then I’d consider renting it … but after reading this headline, I’d probably just tell them, I’m spending a few hundred dollars more on renting a car from someone else.

exactly … just make up another code word or phrase to mean the same thing
