Man, one thing I hate about modern society is how many official ways we allow ourselves to say no to things, but then only a lot of bad things get "yes."
If you require a consensus from existing residents of a neighbourhood to build new housing for other people, you’re not going to build a lot of new housing for other people.
Man I've had to explain to too many people that I don't respect these requests because they charged me a cleaning fee. I'm glad AirBnB is changing this, because shit like "pull all sheets off the bed" is deranged.
Airbnb is banning its hosts from making guests do things like “stripping the bed, taking trash offsite, or washing and putting away dishes.” The hosts....are not taking it well: www.wired.com/story/airbnb...
Dunking on Ben Franklin with a "deez nuts" in the afterlife, high-five-ing the next guy in line who has to answer
Even if this were viable as a concept (that there's an afterlife; that it allows conversations with others; that enslavers are going the same place as you), who cares? Oh, are you mad at me, Ben Franklin? Tough shit.

I mean, this is only _one_ of the reasons Alan Wake 2 is incredible. And the DLC was way ahead of the curve on LLM criticism, this was from a couple years ago!
To be clear: Alan Wake 2: Lake House DLC is a timely must-play - A scientist uses rows of automated typewriters to try to artificially generate Alan Wake-style magical writing - Scientist worries that if artists are mostly left-leaning, and the art becomes real, they NEED some right-wing artists

If you ever see a sentence like "Five decisions stay with people" on my blog, that would be a duress signal. I've probably been kidnapped -- come save me
I would be ashamed to put out a post on my personal blog which had a sentence and diagram like this. For a trillion dollar company to put something like this out is something else

Alternatively you can think it's lame because you don't want to "share the road" with the kind of person who would drive this in your city
do think there's a danger of looking at extremely cool shit like a car driving upside down then doing a kickflip before landing, and convincing yourself it's actually lame because the guy funding it is a white supremacist
This thread is really interesting in that it shows the pathology of trying to regulate form relative to function. I'm sure some urbanist on here has also done this for SUVs/pickups skirting around CAFE laws a la "this is a light truck" and you get the new 9ton hummer EV
The weapon on the left is a short barreled rifle. Until today, it was illegal to own or make without registering. The weapon on the right is an AR-15 pistol. It is no more restricted than any other kind of firearm. There is no meaningful difference between these weapons.

What's more wild is later on he mentions that people won't ship something "unsafe," but points to car companies as an example of an industry that doesn't ship unsafe things? What the fuck? Do you know how many people die from cars every year Jensen?
Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?” Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...

World Car-Free Day is celebrated every year on 22nd September. For me, cycling is more than just a way to get around it gives me the freedom to explore, discover new places. So, why not leave the car behind, get on your bike, and discover where the road takes you? Every ride makes a difference!
This is like that mega-thread of bad-bike racks but for the shitty chairs you find in places you'd like to frequent but can't because they make you ache after the age of 22 It's not hostile architecture but it's like, lower-spine antagonistic architecture
I will vote for any political candidate who vows to ban these chairs.

Guy at Chick fil a: "ma'am you can't bring that in here..." EXCUSE ME this is a service Muk and he is MEDICALLY NECESSARY. Now come on baby the ignorant man doesn't understand...
Could you teach a pokemon to alert like we do dogs? And not like canine mons, but could a trubbish start poking you like "bitch you're about to faint?"
