Just to state the obvious: 2020 was the year of COVID, which played hell with peoples' social lives.

No, it was government mandates that played hell with peoples' social lives.

…yes? My point is if someone can break the law 547 times and no one is affected then the law is stupid.

Has he ever hit something or someone? If the answer is no, then speeding laws are too strict and must change.

The Irishman taught me how to put vodka into a watermelon.

Why not just eat the orange. I can't be the only one who finds eating the pulp alone icky. Like chewing on a damp rag.

I thought venues paid artists.

The goal is that if you’re poor you can’t own a car.

Given the population pyramid, it would be impossible for them to change the law until they are well into old age.

It’s awesome to decide what your children, once they are adults, can’t do? Seems borderline psychopathic. Kinda sums up democracy in current times though.

I can see how this happened: the employee was home, his kid wanted to play some roblox, he installed roblox and gave the kid the laptop, the kid decided to install the cheat.

I don’t see what’s so funny about them, especially the last one.

I suppose someone will say that this law is necessary for environmental reasons, regardless of people's preferences.

Welcome to democracy and lawmaking in 2026. We know better than you!

In the meantime, my daily driver here in reality land: https://i.imgur.com/8yEEJVb.png

Damn, recently I had a phone with a battery that wasn’t properly glued and it would turn off when shaken. I hope this doesn’t become the norm from now on.

The grid in every country is getting ridiculously stressed by datacenters.

In every country? Citation needed.

Thankfully the CRUD app that is being developed by some random startup is not likely to cause as much harm as the THERAC.

It's very easy to know when code is wrong: it doesn't work the way it's expected to. So you explain to the AI what's wrong and the AI fixes it.

It’s a democracy when people vote for what I want.

Yes, in his texts Cleisthenes was pretty clear that AI cameras weren't acceptable in a democracy.

The dhcp server is in the router, just like you need a router for slaac.

So, like ipv4, but you lose the protection and privacy afforded by the NAT?

Now compare average income to see how much this matters.

Born into a working-class Jewish family and raised in New York…

The solution to a low fertility rate is to… destroy the country? What’s the difference?

Because the next one won’t bend the knee to Israel.

It looks like they are proud of their country and want to keep it as is. They’ve seen what limitless immigration did to other countries and want none of it. Respect to them.

That means you need an account?

It kills me to think that the bad parts of Apple are so interwoven into Android through cultural assimilation.

It’s more like Android is worse so they don’t want to use it. Dogfooding is good, of course, but if they don’t force them to do it, they will naturally choose the best phone. Which is not an Android.
