@ablueview I have to wonder, given the massive amount of current investment in AI, how it actually works out in terms of $ per productivity... or whatever it is they think they're paying workers for, if "productivity" is now too "woke" a concept for them.

@Researchbuzz I was thinking in terms of Google working with the car-makers to manufacture demand for off-road vehicles.

@Researchbuzz Too far off-the-wall? :blobcatthinkingportal: :googlyeye: :googlyeye2:

@Researchbuzz How else are they going to get the best value out of their Child-Crusher 3000 Sport Utility Vehicles? Gotta go off-road sometime, or they might have to admit they're just driving a passenger-car that's been embiggened to get around safety laws. Can't let that happen.

Anybody have any advice on how to go about protesting Colorado's age verification bill? I live in Colorado, so if there's a physical protest I could theoretically show up in person? Have to find it first, of course. No idea where to look this sort of thing up... :/

@rnd Maybe something that is distributed/federated but still has accountability-checkpoints? https://wooz.dev/FerretCoin

We knew the 2A people weren't serious when Occupy Wall Street happened and there was nary a peep from them.

This was only confirmed when Jan6 happened, and they were mostly on the side of the tyranny.

@EndlessMason Hm, yeah... I'll need to go through them at some point to remind myself what the symptom was in each case.

@alice Outlier data-point here: I haven't been positively identified as femme enough to have encountered any of these, to the best of my recollection. A good day is when I get "ma'am" or "she/her" instead of the binary opposite.

@UncleDuke1969 I'm imagining this as sung by Johnny Cash.

poor white person [looking at poor Black person]: I support the system which keeps me from having to live like them.

Is there any point in repairing a non-functional microwave oven? I mean, I haven't done my research yet, but I don't know if anyone even does it anymore -- it seems very much like the kind of thing where the repair-person would say it would cost more to repair than buy a new one.

This makes me wonder if one could use dead microwaves as literal bricks to construct, say, a storage shed, if one had enough of them.

(I have about half a dozen dead microwaves in the basement --- all different sizes, unfortunately.)

@JennyFluff It's overrated, if you ask me, but kudos for giving it a try! ^.^
