Where’s @sharkfucker420 when you need him?

It’s almost like they need something mobile they can add weaponry to that could chase and hunt down security threats…

What’s your opinion on duckduckgo on a phone?

My computer is covered, but which app is safe to block ads on my phone?

On my phone it’s not just the ads that aggravate but also the autoplay videos–the ones that follow you as you scroll down. I can’t prevent them from autoplaying.

Ay, oh, way to go Ohio

I sideload my own books and then turn off the internet on the Kindle. Other than knowing what books I have, are they still able to monitor all those other things?

I ask because I don’t completely understand some of this internet networking stuff. The other day I turned off my router while I was watching a video on YouTube and the video kept playing with no interruption or lag while I thought I had turned off the wifi in my house. I guess we can’t turn it off anymore? Or was it able to keep playing because it was cached?

Find an asian market near you. The ramen is so cheap there and it’s way better than the ones in the supermarket.

This is the way.

Just a few practical tips for those of you wanting to do this, but feel a bit nervous about dealing with the chicken carcass. Disposable gloves are your friend. Pull off every bit of meat you can possibly pull off. It can be frozen and then used for pretty much anything. You can throw it in tacos. You can put it in ramen soup.You can just eat it. You can share it with your dog or cat, if you can afford one.

If you have an Instant Pot cooker, I have the small three quart sized one, it makes it really easy and quick to simmer the carcass and get all that delicious bone broth. The bone broth can also be used for anything savory you’re making that requires water like rice, instant stuffing, Ramen, couscous. You get the idea.

The film, Triangle of Sadness, presents what could go horribly wrong when you take the customer is always right too seriously. It’s both comical and profoundly disturbing.

It’s not just facial recognition anymore, though, they’re looking at all kinds of other stuff, even how you walk.

Hilarious. Just needs the Shout spell.

There was a study done that discovered people with vivid imaginations would imagine they were doing a certain task that they needed to do, and their imagination of doing it was so powerful that their brain checked it off as being done. I wish I had the citation for this, but I can’t find it.

So you get the satisfaction reward for accomplishing your tasks without actually doing them.

I think this mechanism explains some things.

In reality, it’s going to screw so much stuff up and do so many things you don’t want it to do, that you’re going end up spending a lot of time just correcting all the mistakes it makes.

And when you’re not fighting to stop it from doing more things you don’t want it to do, you’re going spend your time worrying about what it will do next that you’re going have to fix.

And unless you pay for the most expensive phone and the most expensive tier of service, they’ll probably dumb it down on purpose and your life is going be hard.

Me: Is there milk?

AI: You’re absolutely right to ask if there is milk, you’re not crazy, you’re not paranoid.

Me: Why did you bring up crazy and paranoid? I’m just asking if there’s milk.

AI: I’m using a psychological manipulation technique called presupposition.

Presupposition refers to the underlying assumptions that must be accepted for a statement to make sense. It operates subtly, influencing how people interpret information without their conscious awareness. For example, saying, “I know you’re busy, but can you help me?” presupposes that the listener is indeed busy.

Presuppositions are powerful tools in persuasive communication. They shape the listener’s thought process, guiding them to conclusions without direct assertions. This technique is often used in advertising and political discourse, where implicit messages can be more effective than explicit statements.

I thought this was a company that went out of business years ago, because people were seeing so many movies it caused them to lose too much money.

My translator is saying Flaftenvaften is a Danish term meaning, “the evening of the fluttering” lol

Furzspaziergang? der Furzgang?

But not as much as cheese!

Or it’s just a creative, figurative way to express a difficult concept.

Power has corrupted long, long before capitalism. Power and corruption are ancient beings.
