(It’s Kamala if you don’t want to read it.)

I don't care what anyone says about you, you're awesome my friend.

Rhymes don't matter if it's a polar bear.

I kinda feel like voice search is just an inherently bad platform for shopping.

Supposedly... Home & Kitchen is the most popular category on Amazon, consumer choice comes into that so rapidly that it's hard for it to make sense with just audio feedback or even a tiny screen like the show.

I would think the fact that they're silent indicates that they don't have a fix that they like.

If that's the case, I'd imagine they'd keep silent until that changes or they get sued.

So, you're not wrong, but you've also missed the point of the interaction. This wasn't a conversation where exchange of information was the goal, this was a bid for you to validate her feelings. The response she was seeking was empathy for what she was dealing with and by adding context and trying to explain it instead, you've kind of headed in the opposite direction.

Yes, I know, it's incredibly frustrating.

Wow, republicans losing Texas, that would be a hell of a win if Colin could pull it off.

I do feel like we may have hit a time where the groups classifying CVEs are a bit desperate for numbers. It's really hard to tell the legitimate ones from the ones where it's like "If you had tiny gremlins with soldering irons living inside your PC, its possible they might be able to determine what year your computer thinks it is. The gremlins are assumed to have full domain admin access".

I'm not a fan of Andrew Tate, but we really got to lay off the hate on wife beaters. Tank tops are real comfy yall.

There was a conversation awhile back about how any term used to describe someone with a disability eventually becomes a slur and history tends to back that up, but I'd say 'special needs' is probably about the least offensive qualifier we have today.

For 4chan, that's like a miracle.

Alexa has a tendency to give you the 'featured' product no matter how precisely and specifically you ask her for something. Even if you don't have to research and know exactly what you want, it's almost always easier to just go find your phone.

The real game changer for Alexa was always having a voice assistant that you can integrate with just about whatever you want that isn't tied to someone's phone. The idea of going into someone's house and just saying 'Alexa, turn on the kitchen lights' or 'Alexa, is it cold outside?' is where the Alexa magic lies, but Amazon never could figure out how to make that profitable on it's own, just doesn't contribute to the business case.

But yes, what kind of unit is this?

How lifelong friendships are made.

I definitely support that we've pushed this show out of the forefront, but this is where a lot of the arguments for the flag as a 'symbol of southern pride' come from. It's a weird argument, and it is definitely not a fair one, but there's very fond associations in the south with that car even from people who had no clue where the flag came from. Super successful attempt to help the confederate flag be seen as acceptable, whether on purpose or not.

It's a weird show too for someone who isn't from the south... Racial diversity is non-existent in the show, but that's also pretty accurate for its location... It had some awesome car scenes, but no depth. The only hot take in the show beyond the flag painted on top (which wasn't even a hot take then) was that the government was widely seen as corrupt and it was more than a bit sexist.
