when I was a boy (GenX), avocados were so cheap, they almost gave them away

my mom complained one time when they were 25c

one of my friends that grew up in California had a tree in his back yard and he never purchased one until he moved to Washington State in his 20s

The fact that it became a target for attacking millennials is so crazy. That people took it seriously for a bit is laughable. To this day my wife and I make jokes that it costs a new mortgage to have one.

I live in the states and I rarely get news stories about Mississippi. It’s got it’s problems but it’s not a world power that controls the voice of billions of people. Your analogy sucks.

the revelation of understanding hit me so hard when I figured out that all those jackasses that walk around with their gun exposed or the dicks that bring their AR into a coffee shop… they are Don Quixote in real life! And that is frightening!

JDVance is fucking Sancho Panza almost as a mirror… life imitating art

Holy shit! Thank you for this great news 🙏

No it doesn’t LoL but I think that’s why it is what it is. I think you have to come to the conclusion that Don is a terrorist and if you don’t see it yet, here’s another chance!

if you take mass transit, its a great way to pass the time

for me the biggest most amazing feature was the opendyslexia font being built into the system. Reading with dyslexia can become a difficult thing, especially if its Time Roman. But I found that I could read and comprehend effortlessly with that font. I read Candide, Don Quixote, Count of Monte Cristo… books that I would have never imagined that I could have read and wouldn’t have been able to without that font and the kindle to make it accessible and always kept my page and only gave me a page at a time so I wouldnt get overwhelmed with the size of the book. DQ and CoMC are very long stories

It’s got good stuff mixed in with the religious snake oil sales pitch right wing wackos. It’s got local sports and usually someone playing continuous music, not always good music but not interrupted very often. But it’s mostly shit. I imagine that you could have fun with a large antenna and a fine tuner receiver. Get stuff from far away. I have a good portable radio receiver that picks up some good range. I take it camping and scan about. Soft hits of the 60s 70s and 80s stations are great

Totally. Thankfully his girls are normal and don’t seem to have a lot of baggage from it. One of them is a very successful beautician that recently did the hair and makeup for one of the stars of the 50th SNL celebration. She looks like she could be a movie star herself.

Rob was a master manipulator yet somehow I never fell for it and it drove a wedge between us to the point that I wouldn’t be invited to family events. Funny how standing up to a bully will make the bully run away.

One time he made another one of my nieces cry by being cruel with words and calling her ugly (she was 13 and that is not fucking cool to do to a 13 year old) and it made me so upset. I yelled at him and confronted him. Anyway a few moments into the argument he acts like he wants to fight me and I step up to him and he goes and runs and hides behind my sister, knowing that I would not hurt her to get to him. Such a coward. The world is a better place without him.

I’ll just add my sisters story here because its similar and just as crazy. Rob eventually tried to kill a girlfriend and luckily her new boyfriend was a better shot

my ol boy Louis loved his ikea rat

Rest in Peace Louis <3

they have had them for years so they might just come to the stores in waves

did AI write that article? what a mess of words

Azure is such a complicated mess 😔

I am proud of you, sorry the state is arresting you for that. hopefully you do not get prosecuted.

what did you do?! oh wait I guess it probably wouldnt be a good idea to admit guilt on the internet so quickly after being arrested

I wouldn’t trust anything to give me accurate calorie counts, it is just way to subjective. Unless it’s medical grade equipment it’s just not giving you anything but a educated guess

translation work is indeed an amazing thing

I am interested. If anyone out there has one in the US, I would like to hear your opinons about it

I am in total agreement

the cost of AI is an abomination and people that just use it without care for what it costs makes me very upset

I think you’re doing a great job sharing owl content on a regular basis. I don’t personally think about real vs AI unless it’s obviously a bad AI

I think it’s just a bit of the modern day

I personally don’t like generative AI but I’m not sure how we can just avoid it in this world.

I think ethics is the best approach and ai products should be labeled as such. The deception is what really bothers me
