Fair enough and I’m sorry if I sounded judgy. I I know it doesn’t apply to everyone, but I think a major reason for Amazon’s success is that they’ve made acquiring things too convenient. A lot of people (I know I did) fall into the trap of over-consumption. I’ve come to conclude that spending my money ought to come with a little friction.

I do this thing where if I need something, I go to a store and buy it. It has resulted in a lot less buying of useless stuff that I didn’t really need and ends up just taking up space. YMMV

This sounds more like a stalker than an aide.

That’s so weird. I haven’t gotten any of these vague confirmation emails. Oh, that’s right. I remember why. Because I don’t buy a thing from that fucking oligarch’s website.

Now that’s fucked up. I don’t care who you are.

Me either. Feels weird to be complaining about it on the internet though. It’s almost like the solution is self-evident. Oh, well. It’ll come to me.

If it’ll mow down bollards, it’ll mow down toddlers. It can’t distinguish between the two.

If AI is so wonderful they could afford to put up solar panels to power the data centers.

We must obey our robot overlords. I don’t make the rules.

I have an aunt in Laramie and one in Cheyenne. Between their family and friends, I think I’ve met pretty much all the Democrats in Wyoming. Nah, just kidding. There might be a couple more up in Thermop.

I been wondering how long it was going to take for someone official to realize that “prediction market” just means “gambling.”

Another reason to give up facebook. I’ve been off it for a decade.

I came here to impress everyone with my brilliant insight that the $1 trillion saved is what’s currently going to the insurance companies as profit and that’s why they’re fighting it so hard.

Imagine my surprise when everyone already knew that. Some smart cookies on here…

What do you want to bet the judge has one of those pied-à-terres?

The recording and posting on the internet is the crime. The sex itself was not against the law and was not included in the charges.

Yeah, but Trump has some kind of Kompromat on Governor Polis. He got him to give Tina Peters clemency.

There were earlier agreements, but the Colorado River Compact was negotiated in 1922, after all 7 signatory states had been admitted to the union. They’ve pretty much been arguing about it and re-litigating it ever since, but as I understand it the main problem was that the rainfall estimates they used when drafting it were way too high. It just happened to be during an exceptionally wet time period that they took their measurements, and so they allocated water that never did come. And, yeah, they’ve known this for a long time.
