They do it for the same reason people buy lottery tickets, despite the horrible odds: blind hope.

Plus, you never have to admit you were wrong.

Huh. Even if he set a cooking timer (or something) to go off every 15 minutes, I still can’t see him keeping it up for eleven days straight.

Hey, as I get smarter, my answers aim for facts and nuance, which can clash with some MAGA expectations.

Sympathies, Grok. A lot of humans have that same issue.

How did the pictures turn out?

That’s… not something to be proud of.

Yes, definitely, but I’d fly on it if it was some kind of obligation (for example, part of my job). I’d talk about it with the person responsible, though, and help find other options for the future.

X’s lawsuit claims the law’s “requirements are so vague and unintelligible that social media platforms cannot understand what the statute permits and what it prohibits.”

Vague, overly broad laws are indeed a problem; I’m willing to give him that. ONLY that.

Unfortunately for Musk, this is not vague. If the footage is something you created or manipulated, you know perfectly damn well whether it’s legal or not. He’s trying to confuse the issue, and conflate fraud with free speech. Hopefully, the court will see right through him.

Good. Show some resistance. Help drive home that Trump can’t do what he wants unopposed.

Elump will accomplish this not by improving technology or software, but by outlawing any safety regulations that prove inconvenient.

Yeah. Of course, I feel sorry for him, but when he stole in front of a camera he had to know about, well…

It’s probably the first time in weeks that he was given water that didn’t taste kinda nasty.

Are visits even allowed at the prison where he’s being held? If so, I guarantee that they don’t take place in a room as nice as this.

Do you think those are even his own clothes, or did somebody go out and buy some at the last minute? Did they force him to wear a hat in order to cover his prison haircut? I imagine he was wearing a prison jumpsuit not long before this photo was taken, and was ordered back into it as soon as the meeting was over.

They really went out of their way to stage something nice looking. It’s almost as if they don’t want the general public to dwell on what a horrific situation he’s in. Then you might start to think about the incompetence, injustice, and cruelty that’s keeping him there - and the system responsible.

Yes. That disdainful, hateful, arrogant-but-clueless glare is the most unique thing about him.

I’m not a software hobbyist anymore. I don’t want to spend hours doing research and trying to de-enshittify my new phone. I know Apple is ripping me off, but if one believes that time is money, it’s actually tolerable. Then there’s the UI, which I believe is the best in the market.

I’m not a fan of Apple’s walled garden, but for me, it’s the lesser evil. If someone goes with Samsung or something, though, I’d be a dick if I was a snob about it. Use what you like!

Mango Mussolini wasn’t nearly as antagonistic towards Canada the first time around.

Thank you! I was WAY too invested in this!

Frankly, if a child somehow makes it into my home, and is left unsupervised long enough to work out which of the 7 remote controls turns on the TV and surround sound system, and figures out how to access Netflix - I’d say they’re mature enough to watch whatever they want.

Gold.

If you don’t mind me asking, what is your father’s financial situation?

I’m thinking that when your father dies, these disgusting parents will expect a piece of the inheritance. The girl is a pawn.

Heads up: this comment posted twice

Nothing intelligent to say, just lol

UPDATE PLEASE. I must know the fate of the dishes.
