what a limited imagining of a robotic sex partner. not one of them is a shrieking metallic skull on the thorax+abdomen of a 700 lb scorpion with a tail that injects an adrenaline and DMT mix.

which is what we all want to come home to, am I right fellas?

once they automate making homophobic jokes and farting in bed, cishet men are RUINED. men will wish they stayed grinding that WoW gold.

sometimes when I talk IRL about privacy issues online and the impulse to not share my user data, shopping habits, with anyone and everyone etc, I get pushback from otherwise smart people who want to know why I don’t want to be tracked. I’m not even talking like doing Snowden type shit. just like very basic avoidance. like not using advertisers’ browsers or installing all the treat apps for discount treats at the treat shoppe.

it always throws me, because it seems self evident. but these people seem to think receiving highly specific and targeting marketing benefits them by showing them products and services they are interested in.

I can’t really wrap my mind around it, except my guess is they believe they have complete control and agency over their attention and would never be influenced to do something or believe something against their interests.

which is comes across as super naive to me.

I mean, how often does a rural dweller really need a new vehicle, let alone an electric bazinga mobile that only rapidly charges at The Louvre or whatever?

my understanding is that way more European cars are diesels and manual transmission than the states. I made a diesel pick up last 504k miles and I only got rid of it because I took it to a specialty mechanic to have the starter shimmed in tighter and he told me to go fuck myself lol. he only worked on like rich people restorations and, admittedly, my truck looked and sounded like it took an RPG into the front.

as a burgerlander, I wish I had easy access to the European used car market. their trash is my treasure!

imagine living in Europe and buying a new car. genius skewing demographic.

let’s find out if my roundhouse is compatible with CEO Carl Pei’s face.

I have a feeling it’s not, but let’s get some empirical evidence.

so wouldn’t the strategy to “win” MILF Manor be to always stay overnight with the MILF you’re busting in rather than go home and listen to your mom get busted in?

I mean, I assume the layout of the mother and son accomodations is for max awkwardness.

lol… any other olds remember when TLC was short for The Learning Channel? that was when it started as a public supported satellite distributed channel to provide educational programming to underserved, hard to reach communities in rural Appalachia. then the government sold it to its private, for-profit competitor, The Discover Channel.

rapidly, it became Here Comes Honey BooBoo and Watch This Guy Listen to His Mom Fuck A Guy His Age.

I love this fucking country.

wow, sorry I was so crappy at being my own cashier, but it’s not like you guys were paying me or providing training.

when I scan my whole meal and it comes up as a single $1.35 side of cole slaw, that’s not my fault or my problem.

I only use the Burger King online ordering app as my antivirus software, because I am a PATRIOT.

the source code that serves up news content is 500 MB.

the rest is for interactive pop ups and mobile layout breaking, random spontaneous, invisible click boxes to makenit so you accidentally activate an ad when trying to watch, pause, close or otherwise interact with a video.

it is some of the most cutting edge website complicating code ever written.

during the WFH heyday of covid, i virtually attended a few meetings where an attendee was attempting to attend more than one meeting simultaneously. “i have double booked meetings, apologies” and then you watch them just sort of be there and occaisionally unmute themselves in the wrong meeting and generate weird crosstalk.

they were exactly the kind of self-important “VIP” asshole that, under normal operational circumstances, contributes nothing but makes sure to take full credit for “team” work, and gets off on the idea that their over commitment is some sign of elevated value.

of course what they are really doing by attending two meetings virtually is disrupting two meetings and acting as a net negative impact on both conversations while demonstrating their gratuitousness to two projects overall. it is also, literally the only time i’ve ever seen a meeting host eject an attendee lmao.

mfw when they want me to sleep on my back for snuggles

all time marketing move for windows 11.

great pic by the AP, open mouthed, aggressive angry, pointing and the lighting makes his eyes look like empty sockets of vantablack space, where all love and humanity go to die.

lol, “looks like” just playin’

here at DisruptoTech, we build forward thinking prototype technology. Today we unveil the BabyEater5000XL.

it eats babies and sprays highly toxic waste everywhere and it does so with speed and efficiency.

i critically support a unified world government with the power to destroy that can develop and enforce all standards.

i forgot how wild rapid charging is. thanks, that explains a lot and i will look through those videos. i think EVs/ transportationelectrification is inevitable, but i’m always on the lookout for how i might integrate myself into it without getting caught up in a grift.

like 10 years ago i read a near-futurist/post-carbon article on transportation and they made a convincing case that at best, battery technology is transitional because it still has many of the inefficiency problems associated with hauling around a heavy liquid fuel. to the writers, the solve for personal conveyance are grid connected vehicles that have limited batteries for short duration/distance off-grid travel. the benefit being the huge reduction in non functional / cargo weight. that’s just a small piece of the somewhat short read (14 pages) about the larger looming shifts which are imminent in transportation, mobility, logistics, etc.

yeah, ok that makes sense. sometimes i forget about how the not-home charging stations aren’t meant for very rapid charge (like filling up a tank at a gas station).

cool, maybe this is a good thread to ask a dumb guy question: why can’t EVs just plug into a something that already exists as a standard. if our little 120V outlets aren’t up to the task, why not those 220 joints we use for dryers and ovens.

i ask because, as a dumb guy who has shocked himself several times, it seems like some kind of existing standard that municipalities and communities can already stand up charging stations on their own with stuff from any hardware store would be The Move™ for rapidly creating a massive support network for EV charging, because any little city council or organization could contract with an electrician to order the shit from almost anywhere. like i understand there would need to be some weather proofing/hardening but the point being to not get wrapped up in proprietary technologies or specialized supply chains/licensing.
