I think we found the real 'murican right here!

Please allow me to add another bullet point:

  1. The most devout and also the loudest, Evangelical Christians will congregate and start talking about the end times and the rapture and stuff like that. The pastor will continue to fly his private jet to the aforementioned child-eating islands every week.

Does this have a heat overlay? As in, can I see which routes I take most commonly my filtering and overlaying a years worth of data? That's the only thing that's kept me on Strava. I know there are a few open source tools, but nothing has looked this complete for me. This looks super cool.

Yeah, I wouldn't be as upset if the playing field was level. Alright, you can slurp up and remix the world's works, but so can anyone, for any reason, for free. Personally, I think use restrictions should only target commercial use, but I'm sure that's a much more divisive topic. We have a law that is not being applied to those most likely to abuse it at scale.

I definitely see some of this happening, but as a tall rider, going from 26" to 29" tires was fantastic. It felt like I was finally riding a mountain bike meant for someone my size. I didn't buy it for the 32" hype though. It just happened to be what felt right after test riding a bunch of bikes I didn't like. I also test rode a "mulleto" (at least I think that's what it's called when a bike has mismatched wheel sizes) and it came a close second but it was from the same manufacturer as another bike of mine and I try to spread myself around.

Yeah, if running AI took a fancy graphics card and some basic scripting knowledge, a lot of the short cutters would get filtered out right away. I'd rather write a four page paper than struggle to get a strange piece of software working on a deadline and I'm a tech-adjacent Linux enthusiast. The commercialization of AI is the problem: the fact that they're preying on people's desire to stand out, to be exceptional, to get positive social feedback, to succeed in the hierarchy, to make their over-packed lives easier, etc. Open-source Academic AI would have had a some of the same issues, like being coopted by governments, but in general I think things would be magnitudes less terrible.

I appreciate your last point about stolen data. I appreciated it from a marketing/intelligence/propaganda point-of-view, and you from the ownership/intellectual property point of view, but we ended up in really similar places.

Lol at the zombie thing too.

I'm excited to see what they do with Motorola as it would be nice to pick up something newer and have my current Graphene device for backup/travel in case prices ever go wild like they seemingly have for every other piece of tech. Honestly, there's not much reason not to run Graphene because, privacy aside, the user experience is significantly deslopified and much better than stock.

Reminds me of how Germans still have this image of America being full of cowboys with six shooters on their hips.

Fellow 'muricans: if you ever get a visitor from Germany, take them to a Wild West reenactment. They will NEVER forget.

I liked San Andreas, but, for me personally, Vice City will always be peak GTA because of the story and atmosphere. Four was the last good GTA and I really liked the "weighty" vehicle handling while V was playable, but notably worse. I've had zero real interest in VI, especially with what gaming has become.

Seriously, for that price you could eat real foodlike substances, perhaps even something that was in the ground more recently than it was in a factory.

Gotta disagree with the "no one will pay for it" part of your comment though. People can't get enough of anything that's bad for them! Most of them will sit there in their micro plastic shedding clothes, not getting exercise, under a UV light, smoking a cigarette while drinking alcohol and downing Tylenol and Advil by the bottle, while blasting their eyeballs with blue light and huffing VOCs before they ever touch a raddish.
