There is an on-ramp for the highway near me that's pretty long. It's long because it's a very straight fast-moving section of highway. In other words, the on-ramp is designed to give you adequate space to get up to highway speed. The number of people who immediately merge into the first lane without getting up to speed is too damn high.

I love how the conversation is always "ban tiktok" and not "ban the specific practices that make TikTok problematic".

Don't want to upset the massive corporate overlords that run the US social media companies doing the exact same things.

Exactly. USB is designed so that you can have multiple devices attached to one port. 7 slots on the PC is plenty.

And in fact, they probably already have a hub. I can't remember the last monitor that I bought that didn't have a couple USB ports on it. Put that thing to use. Webcam, USB headset/mic, keyboard and mouse can all run perfectly well off a monitor hub as can most other accessories. Save the direct ports on the mobo for things that need the bandwidth like storage devices.

Yeah, the Jalopnik article is shamefully written. The cop wasn't shooting at his car, he was shooting at a handcuffed suspect in his car. Regardless of his terrible aim, his intent in that moment was to kill a man because he imagined that he had been shot so hard that he actually fell down. When the New York Post gets gets it more accurate, you know the journalism is bad.

What's even more horrifying about the situation is that another officer on scene also started shooting even though she didn't fully know what was going on. Oh, actually, not just an officer, she was a sargent. She didn't fully assess the situation, she just started shooting as well.

These people are no smarter and no more stable than poorly trained dogs.

So we're just putting "Frostpunk video game" in as a prompt now? :)

I don't think the idea was to dehumanize, but rather to be more aware of the shared psychosis so many people are living in.

"They" claim that Trump won the election without any regard to facts and evidence. Imagining that "they" will suddenly change their mind if they get just one more piece of factual information is foolish considering everything we've seen so far. We must find another way to get through to "them".

There's an armorer who was completely derelict in her duties. She's been charged with involuntary manslaughter. It was specifically her job not to let this happen.

I love completely unaware comments like this. President stable genius wasn't really all that stable nor all that much of a genius. Dude bragged about memorizing 5 words in a TV interview.

If you're willing to mention one as a disqualifying factor, you should really take a long hard look at the other candidate through the same lens.

This was going to be my guess too. I've heard the "soy contains estrogen and can screw up your body if you eat too much." nonsense.

I hate when people say stuff like that as they drink their 4th can of Coca-Cola of the day.

Don't worry, your body will release all that carbon when you die.
