Yeah, I don't sit and block traffic because I'm too lazy to find another spot. "Do unto others," you know? I don't like being made to move faster because you just need this spot.

EDIT: And hold up, you'll move your car and load it? So you will leave your groceries just in a cart, go and move your car to some further spot, and load it there? How is that at all the right thing to do? Where are you moving your car to, an empty spot? Like, one the person who's sitting there waiting could've parked their car?

I have people follow me to my car at the grocery store when they notice I'm in a good spot (there are other, less desirable spots available, mind you). I take my sweet time loading my bags make sure nothing will tip over in transit. And during the time I'm loading, sometimes I decide I need something from the adjacent liquor store.

I've never understood why people sit and wait for spots when there's spots available. Drive around. If someone is pulling out, sure, but don't watch people load their shit up.

I played hockey and was by no means good, but had a friend who was a good goalie, and said it was always tough with the less good players because you couldn't cheat them at all, because even they had no idea where the puck was going.

There are government text messages and local websites and all sorts of ways of reaching people. Unfortunately, X probably reaches ten times as many people. I think a diversified approach makes sense.

That being said, us gov has sent the text messages and that seems to be the best way to do it. Everyone has a phone. And if you don't, then you like to live on the edge.

I think the point is you can't put a search term into a search engine and get results from some random Discord. No body is going to go trawling through Discords to then use the search function to potentially find information from it. Now, if chats were somehow archived and could then be searchable, different story, but I don't think that's what people using Discord want from Discord.

AI = computer. That's it. The same people who called your Xbox Nintendo are using AI as a blanket term for ... anything.

This post feels like more than just the privacy aspect. Every day I read about some connected devices going brick because they are no longer supported. Shit, my Roku 4 went brick because they need me to buy a Roku HD, and I suckered up. What're you going to do when your doors won't open because some company decides they don't want to support them, or worse they go under? I am not IT, but why would I want to come home from a day of answering tickets and have to reprogram some proprietary hardware so I can make dinner?

I was born during an absolute boom int he economy. Late '80s and '90s were awesome. '90s were fantastic, just fucking pumping.

I'm working my balls off and putting money into an IRA that I watch essentially disappear every day. I have 529s for my kids that are in the negative returns. I have plans to put an addition on my home that I'll never do, because a 180 square foot addition shouldn't cost 75% of what I paid for the house in 2014. And the crazy thing is I'm a lucky one. It is just sad, and I'm not sure there is an end in sight without some sort of massive reset.

This is hilarious. God I miss how passive aggressive you could get with pictures with embedded links.

I know Jersey City has made a big push to bikify the city, and limited parking in new high-density development, with the idea being if you build it, they will come. It's part of an overall plan that they date out to 2060. Shit takes time. Doesn't mean you don't try though, that's for sure. I'm hopeful.

It's just one challenge at the federal level that makes this all go away. Hopefully. Unless higher courts are incompetent or equally corrupt. But this is America right, where things like that don't happen because of the Constitution or some shit.

I preferred the Little Mermaid, the Ugly Duckling, and of course the Emperor's New Groove, but his commentary on graphics in Starfield is also a compelling work.
