As we sit here in the waning hours of the evening, watching a movie and trying to wind down... I am reminded how much I HATE Hollywood mixing engineers. DIalogue? 1/10 Action scenes? 18/10 Can I please follow the plot of a movie without having to plug my ears when some shit goes down please?

Interesting: AI summaries mean Google is now indisputably a content creator and can be held libel (in Germany, at least) for incorrect AI information. www.dw.com/en/german-co...

As long as the worst fuckers in the world are only taking themselves out........... fuck it Unfortunately I had to learn the word "ballmaxxing" today. Can't ever purge THAT from my brain. I am genuinely livid about that fact

You ever have a moment when you have a sudden realization of a truth that's been hiding in plain sight? I recently learned that Savannah was a planned city, and their "ward" system became the City's logo. That logo is a city in the center and everything radiating out from it....

While I can't promise a scoop & boop demonstration video will be posted later, I CAN offer this monorail cat video @bluekrampus.bsky.social

Reminder that while everyone is fawning over Dan Ticktum making a potential record breaking run up Goodwood... that man should not even be allowed in a race car anymore. The fact that he still has a career is fucking baffling to me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JP_O...

To summarize politics over the past few days, the Democrats have had to run out the guy with the Nazi tattoos and sexual assault allegations, and the GOP have said "But what if we were MORE openly racist?"

Daily affirmations: No matter how much of a nerdy, dorky, fatass loser I have felt like at points of my life, I remind myself that I have never once stood with 10 other grown ass men hovering like vultures waiting on the employee to finish restocking the Pokemon aisle so I can go rip off children.

In FH6, is there a way to guarantee an A or B class togue race? Twelve times in a row, it tried to start an S2 or C race. Fuck that. I'll uninstall the game if I can't enjoy it the way I want.

Why do door to door sales people still exist? Do you realize people, in their FUCKING HOMES.... don't want to be disturbed to buy insurance or internet service or whatever? Fuck right off

"Somebody go back and get a shitload of dimes!" www.reddit.com/r/PublicFrea...

In today's edition of "Oh man, I should have believed the hype".... I just got some Japanese notebooks. I got a Midori, an Apica, and two Kokuyos. I get it. With a fountain pen, I REALLY get it.

I know that "book baddies" are wild, but this is a crazy recommendation, Steam. I guess there's a lot of crossover between the bookstore simulation genre and the brothel simulation genre?

Do people realize the Forza Horizon 6 "Trial" things for weekly points are a team race? Are they stupid or or just assholes? Because EVERY TIME my own teammate tries wrecking me. As much as I enjoy the setting of FH6, online gameplay can fuck right off

What says bsky about this? Hanlon's Razor says we should say it's just stupidity.... but the fact that it's the ESA says we should say it's malicious. I'm leaning towards malice, solely because we will NEVER get them to admit they made a mistake with their statement.

Saw a Ferrari FF today, and it is tied with the F355 for the only Ferrari I have ever liked. We need more wagons and less SUVs, please!

To whom it may concern, If you expect me to be able to help you solve your problem, you're going to need to start out with a little more information than "it doesn't work." Maybe start your email with "I got the error message <error>" instead of requiring 5 emails for me to get that information

I miss the days when you would send a Self Addressed Stamped Envelope to Pueblo, CO instead of asking ChatGPT when you wanted to know about a thing.

Went to @foodlion.bsky.social tonight. They REALLY ramped up the sensitivity on the "theft detection" AI I guess. All the stations at self checkout were going crazy. I just realized HOW visceral of a reaction I had to it. Fuck you for forcing me to use self checkout then treating me like a thief!

And I think I've discovered why I've fallen in love with fountain pens and writing notes. Because they can't put fucking AI in my pen like they try to put it in everything else we use. Additionally, "fuck you Sam Altman" for what RAM prices are. And fuck all y'all AI lovers too.

Finally got a Lamy AL-Star. Holy crap this should have been the first pen I ever bought. #fountainpens

I know Nissan is a fuckup of a company but, I'm impressed to learn how desperate they are!

Played ONE round of FH6 online. It was a touge race. The guy spent THE ENTIRE RACE trying to ram me off the track. How the fuck do people enjoy online gaming? This is the type of experience I always seem to have.

Congrats to Ford on the win at Pike's Peak. If I wanted to buy one of those cars, though.... this certainly doesn't LOOK like the Mach-E that raced there? Why not? I thought Ford was super proud of just making SUVs/Trucks now. Why race a Mustang shape? Race what you sell

4Chan Christian guns-and-God conservatives plotted to bomb the MMA at the White House over the Epstein Files but were foiled when one of their moms overheard an encrypted voice chat when she delivered hot pockets to the basement where her son lives. Not kidding.

$300bn, they control the straight, all sanctions are dropped, and a more radical government in charge? The Art of the motherfuckin' DEAL, son! God it's a good thing we elected the businessman who knows how to cut deals, eh!? Makes you wonder how he bankrupted so many companies.

Great news.. I still remember how to autocross!!

Time to go play with cars again. And bonus .. got to hear a 50 Cent concert going on up the street!!

On the days I think AI is the worst thing mankind has ever invented.... I stop and remember that the Stock Market exists and is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY worse

Track cars have battle scars. Stop whining about a little bit of flaky paint. It's not like you have to worry about bare metal and rust on a Corvette.

Well time to never go to a Lowe's again, I guess.... www.wral.com/news/investi...

An immigrant who tried to take over a country is fueling protests from the great grandchildren of immigrants who took over a country to be upset about other immigrants because they're afraid THEY want to take over the country. Make it make sense

Out delivering Wolf Cola in the foxbody, I guess

I've just been telling people that Straight Mode was removed from Monaco in solidarity with Pride Month. #F1

Watching the Hurricanes game. I feel like we just watched one of those "This is gonna be talked about for decades, innit?" moments in real time. Kinda exciting People gonna be FUCKING MAD on ESPN tomorrow, aren't they?

And 35 years later, Milli Vanilli achieved greatness by promising not to sing

I think I can get used to this "no tap" thing. Just ignore that 10th frame though

But think of all the savings on staff!!!

Playing FH6 Too used to BeamNG Time trial in 767B Blast past B class truck Crash Instinctively hit D-Pad left to reset car "Oh shit, didn't mean to chat" Hit D-pad Left again to close it Send "You're so fast!" right as the B class truck is passing my crashed car

Real men have shoulder kittens. Photo from my collection, ca. 1950s.

Steam: "Oh you have gigabit internet!? We'll have this downloaded and installed in a jiff!" Xbox Live: "Gigabit internet? Never heard of her. Here's your slop speeds. Maybe ask CoPilot if you can speed it up somehow. SUB TO IT FIRST THOUGH!"

Oh good good good, I was hoping to have a 2nd way to use a service I don't want added to my context menu.

I wish more devs would just integrate a Spotify API or something to let me listen to my own music. I appreciate that you curated a lot of music, but I just want my Initial D soundtrack and not the inane jibber-jabber that keeps flooding every Forza Horizon station

Just saw a comment referring to Texas as "Howdy Arabia" and... well... I'm stealing that one.

What kind of garbage Temu-ass drone do they use in Forza Horizon 6 that has a max altitude of like 6ft (2m)?

A college professor 30 years ago said something that has stuck with me ever since. "Whenever you think you've got a foolproof design, the world designs a better fool."

Welp....... maybe this will put a dent in that drought...

if you post anything on youtube, you can and should opt your channel out of this www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

Fired up Forza Horizon 6. Fell in love with the environment. Now it's forcing me to do a pickup/SUV race to qualify and I'm fucking annoyed. Nobody wants to race pickups around Japan, dumbasses.
