Apparently, I am seriously not living up to my potential.

Anyone else start getting AI Viking music on their YT algorithms? Trying to decide if it's just opportunistic garbage or if it's white supremacist recruitment garbage.

I miss the gym. I keep missing it and ending up somewhere else.

The proliferation of automated surveillance devices is an invasion of our civil liberties. There are better ways to impact drivers than creating a permanent surveillance state.

If you won the lottery, what would you do with your time? Not super wealthy, but just enough to pay all your debts and never have to work another day in your life. What would you do to fill your time? I have a dozen hobbies I would love to have the time and money for. Travel. Learn a language.

First major misstep of his administration. Many properties in NYC fall under the price range. Many are primary residents inherited and passed down in families. This is basically a name and shame the "rich" list. This notification should have been done by mail. www.silive.com/news/2026/07...

Privacy rights continue to be eroded. No warrant. No probably cause. No privacy. US prosecutors charge Atlanta man after GrapheneOS phone wipes itself during airport search | TechSpot share.google/RioZG4lFXROs...

Old saying told to me by a retired cop. "Better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6." Can't deal with consequences if you're dead.

This is just as annoying on the hiring side while we wait for HR to do their background checks, verify degrees and licenses, get the drug test results, and everything else they do before setting a start date. Meanwhile you're short staffed and everyone is just eager to get started.

Start calling data centers what they really are. Super Computers. Massively Parallel Processing. And we're using them to make crappy images and corporate emails.

Wouldn't it be great if Mitch McConnel's lawyer is holding an envelope that says "in the event of my death, release this to the press."

Racists know who they can safely be racist in front of. They test the waters with a few light jokes. An offhand comment. They measure your reaction. If your friend is heavily racist in front of you, it's because you gave them a green light.

I need a way to auto-mute any threads where I am not allowed to respond, repost, quote post or interact in any meaningful way.

I've never seen an open-face stromboli before.

The propaganda of the early 21st Century will be studied for decades to come. It's fascinating to watch the narrative go from Tesla as the premier sign of environmental conscientiousness to being the symbol of MAGA incels all because of Musk's actions. While owners preordered before the switch.

How is US news media not covering this? Not one single word. This is a political earthquake. youtu.be/F-IL8Kec29k?...

This is why I took up woodworking. /s

Chuck Norris didn't die. He chose to ascend to new heights.

Toaster Pastries, like everything else, not as good as they were 20 years ago. But, if you have the time, get some frozen pastry dough, a can of your favorite pie filling, and make a bowl of frosting (just powdered sugar and milk) and make your own.

The least talked about and hardest to address form of pollution is light pollution. Public safety has alway exceeded environmental impact as a priority. Is red lighting the answer? Or does it just make everything look like a low budget horror film? indiandefencereview.com/denmark-just...

The deletion of information is expanding. More troubling than the deletion of Trump's Twitter posts from before 2024 is the removal of the CIA World Factbook. A resource that has been used by students, academics, businesses and professionals world wide. www.npr.org/2026/02/07/n...

I'm tired of scrolling through YouTube and getting random clips from shows and movies. Especially spoilers. I know this is guerilla marketing. Maybe it works with Gen Z. But it just ruins any interest I may have had in watching something. And there's no way to block them all.

As I learned from making pizza dough, if it's not stretchy it means you didn't need it long enough. Pizza dough should be able to "window" when you stretch a piece and get a thin membrane you can see your fingers through. Done the same making pretzels. Need to hold shape during the boiling step.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame should just rename itself to the Popular Music Hall of Fame at this point. I know the reasons. The actual museum is a failing business. Doesn't draw enough visitors. They are fighting for cultural relevance and more visitors. Casting a wider bet for attention.

I'd call it The Replicator and it would make all the most famous recipes from popular chain restaurants that no longer exist.

Just had one of those moments men wait their whole loves for. Have a light up Christmas decoration that we haven't put up for years because we lost the plug for it. Well, turns out an old IBM laptop plug that I was told to throw out years ago works PERFECTLY with the old fiberoptic winter village.

That's entirely to allow private military contractors to profit off this.

This is your reminder that millions of legally owned firearms killed noone yesterday.

If they made a remake of this today, it would be from the perspective of Velda, the middle class, recently divorced mother who's become tough because she had to be. And a rich socialite with no wilderness skills becomes a major disruption to the program, threatening to undo her hard work.

New low reached. Citizenship ceremonies canceled. So now even following the legal path is being further restricted. www.localsyr.com/news/local-n...

Having a Mandela Effect Moment. Does anyone remember an epilogue to Death Note where Ryuk goes back to the Shinigami realm and meets a new arrival that we slowly realize is Light who has no memory of being human? Everything I look up says it doesn't exist and the creator says it doesn't exist.

Was just wondering what the overlap is between people who love Dr. Pepper and people who love black licorice.

Technically, that yeast has had more generations in your lifetime than your family has in all human history.

The Fleming Estate rejected the idea that Bond was a code name. Christopher Lee was the real James Bond. His exploits around WWII were Fleming's inspiration. That said, there's no real reason a reboot couldn't make it a code name in honor of the original Bond.

I read Godot in highschool lit. Our teacher started the lesson by telling us most people don't like it, but for some reason prisoners love it. I really should go back and read it with a new perspective. www.amny.com/entertainmen...

Carlin knew 30 years ago. The FCC is a violation of free speech. youtube.com/shorts/DTATe...

Snake eating it's own tail. Venture Capital are the property owners.
