why would I care to?

bye

true, I always forget that

scales back?

I just got an update that puts a persistent copilot overlay in the corner of Excel, blocking my cells. and the same update seems to have added a context menu that shows up on left click on a squiggle word in Word, which again blocks my document unnecessarily. I use neither of these features. I want neither of these features. I want to use the fucking program to do my goddamn work

so I’m catching up on The Boys and I’m having trouble which inspired which, reality or fiction

only the porn that republican politicians were caught looking at, though

except for the CP, obviously

disagree. I have an expectation of not having my dick being recorded when I’m pissing in a urinal in a public washroom

that’s probably why they put an actual value in the title preceding it

21C is too warm to keep a house at, so it can’t be too chilly

I tend to not go to any chain restaurants at all anymore. I have one exception for the local bar that has super cheap prices and good food. otherwise, I go to privately owned restaurants and bars

who the fuck wants to pay $9 for a beer at Kelsey’s where you can get ignored by your server for 20 minutes when trying to get the bill that shows you paid $25 for bland food, then be expected to tip the person already making a bit more than minimum wage $10 for the literally 2.5 minutes of service they gave you. no thanks

I cannot upvote a paywalled source

yes, blurring the article if you don’t disable ad blocking is a paywall

party of pro-life?

just like headlights that are so bright that they blind everybody in front of them

I never feel safer than when I’m approaching the crest of a hill on a corner with a 15-ft deep rocky ditch to either side at 80 km/h on a narrow road with almost no shoulder and I can see the night sky lit up in front of me like it’s a football stadium because the car on the other side of the hill has LED high beams on. Then we reach the point where we can see each other’s headlights, and I am flash banged from the intensity going directly into my squinting eyes. I see a barely discernible flash as their auto-highbeams recognize that I am a vehicle and it switches to low beams, which are the exact same intensity and still going directly into my eyeballs, except now it’s not lighting up the night sky as well as the treetops.

I turn my own LED highbeams* on in response in an attempt to see some of the road in front of me so that I can avoid the ditch, and I steer towards the middle of the road where there is only a chance of danger instead of guaranteed danger from driving off the road. Hopefully the other driver sees me well enough to avoid me if I get too close to center or even go over the line.

We complete the pass, my night vision returns over the next 30 seconds, and I start saying a small prayer thanking God for how safe I was kept during that interaction, but I am interrupted by the exact same scenario happening on the next hill.

• I installed LED highbeams bulbs just for this reason, trying to see when somebody is blinding me. I only use them in this situation because my halogen low beams are enough for all other driving conditions that I find myself in. I disabled the DRL module so that the LED bulbs don’t come on unless high beams are on.

spell check probably “helped” them

it does that shit to me all the fucking time nowadays. I’ll write a perfectly fine and appropriate word for the context, and spell check will just change it out for the wrong spelling or just completely the wrong fucking word. it sucks now. probably driven by AI or something.

nah, this one is straight to prison

weird, 6 in 10 Americans didn’t turn up to vote against him

lane keep isn’t exactly self driving

quarterly profits have been great or something

yes, it would. their elected officials did this.

right, meaning everybody will need to get a VPN, defeating the purpose of the bill
