Opinions my own… Boy, do I have some. Some are actually valid.
Oh, and feel free to ignore me and move along. It’ll trouble me none.
I don’t care if it’s cloture or the actual bill itself…
There should be zero Dems voting “yes” on any-fucking-thing these MAGAt bastards want.
Blatant and complete obstruction is the only way to play this hand for the foreseeable future.
Those Dems that do vote yes… 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕
The most openly blatantly venal attempt at an administration in the last 60 years at least… If not in the history of the US.
It is literally Mob (read: Mafia) Rule.
Just can’t figger why it is that every time these tech yay-hoos try to “simplify my life”, things get harder/worse/more stressful.
🙄
Truly, I’m happy for them to continue to provide me with ever more compelling reasons to shun them.
🖕
Headline:
Don’t click on road toll texts.
From the article:
The FBI is warning Americans not to respond to scam road toll collection texts
FFS ABC “news”…
These are very different things.
Nice clickbait!! 🤦♀️
Haven’t run into the “finding parts” problem…
That may be a regional feature though. Driven older vehicles my whole life and never had too much trouble finding parts… even from junk yards if necessary.
I have many junk yards within 50 miles, most within 20. 🤷♂️
And I’m familiar with local/online companies that provide NOS as well as new fab for older vehicles.
+1 for Joplin…
Daily driver. Quite happy with it.
A wreck like that is my one fear…
Doesn’t take much of a hit to “total” an older vehicle like that. 🤷♂️
😂 🤣
Yeah, mine did too…
I updated the “entertainment deck” to a unit with aux, usb, sd card, and Android Auto (which is what I really wanted).
All good!!
Have dog, considered same.
But, I live alone and don’t bother to vacuum everyday.
Haven’t yet found the cost/benefit to be worth it. 🤷♂️
Ya know…
Regardless of the truth/validity of this particular item (I’ve certainly no love for Meta)…
After a long run with Google, it strikes me a bit sad that I now find myself at a point where the phrase “Google says” causes me to instantly question the validity, sanity, and value of whatever that phrase is referencing.
Sad that Google has brought me to this point. “Don’t be Evil” has fallen a loooong way.
+1 on the age… I’m in my 60’s
+1 on the booze… On my 2nd whiskey
🤣 😂
Oh, look…!!
Yet another good reason I’ll not buy a new car. 🙄
Perfectly happy with my current 03 model thank you…
imagine if people as evil as this fuck had come around 100 years ago
Oh, they’ve been here all along.
But you’re certainly right on the “instantly share” point. That has absolutely exacerbated the situation.
stop being angry until we get what we want!
Given the history of human nature and especially recent human behavior, I’ve no hope that will/can happen.
🤷♂️
Not trying to make this sound like nyah, nyah or anything…
But here’s where I’m glad I never got into that genre of “robotic” assistants. Happy to clean my floors by hand, thank you.
Wonder what kind of illumination this situation might be shining on the current “AI assistant” craze…?? 🤷♂️ 🤷♂️
It’d be such a shame if it caught fire.
But then, Chump never drives anyway so…
🤷♂️ 🤷♂️
Good.
For once, hit 'em with a fine for each and every instance of infringement.
Not one of those bullshit “all in one” fines either.
Make it count or it’s meaningless.
No. Started before pandemic.
Been brewing for 100yrs or better.
Largest recent notable change was when Chump gave permission/encouragement to “people” to be public assholes starting the Cult of Chump.
And it’s gone downhill from there.
Of course they are.
And, of course they will.
Feckless spineless wimps that they are.
🤡 🤦♀️ 🖕
FFS…
Whod’a thunk it?
🤦♀️ 🙄
