My point is that the author clearly likes Harris and doesn’t like Trump.

Nobody who likes Trump is worth listening to. Nobody.

It's not "material", it's my sincere belief. I'll stop when they stop proving me right.

I recommend disengaging immediately whenever they start to talk about politics. Hang up the phone, leave the room, etc. Tell them you won't discuss politics with them, but other than that, don't say a single word to them on any other topic until they agree to quit doing it. Rinse and repeat.

I think them kicking you out over politics is, by itself, a good reason to go no-contact with them.

Conspiracy theories. Actual conspiracies are a lot more mundane.

I used to think the they were fun until so many people started taking them seriously. Republicans ruin everything.

He can't be forced to serve but it may be too late to get his name off of ballots. I'm pretty sure the rules for that vary by state, though. We've already then through this once this year with RFK.

I think what he means is that AI is needed to keep making substantial improvements in graphic quality, and he phrased it badly. Your interpretation kind of presumes he's not only lying, but that he thinks we're all idiots. Given that he's not running for office as a Republican, I think that's a very flawed assumption.

Looks like the author missed my main complaint about Rust mutexes, which is that the lock method returns a Result. There should be a try_unlock method for when someone actually wants to handle the rather obscure failure case, and the name lock should be used for a method that panics on failure but returns a value that doesn't need to be unwrapped first. I see the current arrangement as being about as sensible as having array subscripting return a Result to handle the case of a failed bounds check.

In before conspiracy freaks start inventing conspiracy theories about everyone who tries to talk them down being a malicious AI.

Why would he snort Sudafed when he had access to real drugs? Sudafed can act as a simulant but it's a very rough "high", more comparable to drinking too much coffee than a party drug.

In absolute terms, it would be a great reason not to elect him. In relative terms, he's so awful that it's very far down the list of reasons he's unfit to serve.

 

I'm trying not to read too much into the fact that Reddit is down right now, but I've noticed pages have been increasingly slow to load lately, and I get a lot of messages about server errors even just voting on comments. It seems like they're barely even keeping the lights on. Anyone else notice the same thing?

 

I still get tons of political calls, texts, and emails from donations I made around 2016 and 2020. Is there any organization I can use to donate money that won't harass me in the future or sell my data to someone else who will?

(I got a text soliciting a political donation while I was typing this question!)

 

When I swipe "don't" in Gboard, at least 30% of the time it decides I mean "didn't". I just tested it, and the accuracy was shockingly bad. I'd understand if the strokes were very similar, but "didn't" has a whole extra stroke in it compared to "don't". WTF, Google?

When you try to edit a Reddit comment in their mobile web app, it deletes all line breaks from your comment so you have to remember to manually put them back before submitting.

The other big issue I have is that when you type in and edited comment, it will omit spaces between words at random. JFC, there's no reason to use anything but a vanilla HTML input element (because only markdown formatting is supported), but they somehow fucked up basic text input anyway!

My last little gripe is that nothing in the interface tells you that markdown is supported, which is extra dumb because the desktop interface tries so hard to hide the fact that markdown even exists.

(And yes, there are a host of other annoyances, but I'm trying to limit my criticisms to things that can only be explained by incompetence.)
