  • I don’t want that. I want full control and absolute privacy. I do not want your AI reading my emails. Look at that summary, it’s as long as the whole email, and you’re not going to be able to trust that it picked up on the most important part of the email. This is not efficiency, this is novelty.




  • Under normal circumstances, you ask the questions to get a record of the answers, so that you can prove the answers are lies. The more information the accused has when they provide answers, the more thoroughly they can lie.

    With Mango Mussolini, there’s never any consistency to his blatant lies, and he never pays any price for changing his story. Everyone knows he’s a liar, so he can be as brazen as he wants to be because he knows he can lie without losing supporters.

    So I’m with you. Democrats will circle up like a lacrosse team at a prep school mixer. Oh shit, Campbell is gonna go ask Lauren Z to dance. Let’s go back him up. Here he goes-OH she said no… no wait he said “PSYCH!” He wasn’t really asking, I bet she feels so dumb. Sick burn, Campbell. Let’s go throw empty yoohoo bottles onto the roof of the auxiliary building and talk about what boobs probably look like.

    That’s what I picture every time I read about the Congressional Democrats. Campbell, Monty, Gunner, Brook, Tripp, Blake, and Gian, all hanging around in blazers and sweatervests talking about how cool it’s going to be when they finally do something someday.

    Market demand is not the only factor, though. Manufacturers make design decisions based on a variety of factors, from supportability and manufacturing efficiency to alternative profit vectors like bloatware and proprietary ports.

    If someone made a slider phone with a physical keyboard, it could be the best selling phone on the market without making the most money for the company.










  • I don’t buy that excuse, though.

    First, we should have support services and healthcare available to people who need it. We should have job training, and occupational therapy, and every employer should be prepared to make accomodations for any qualified employee who may have a disability. We don’t have that, but supervised labor camps are not a solution. Employment and care are two separate things.

    Second, non-profits operating as a care provider are not subject to employment laws. They do not have to pay patients minimum wage.

    Third, the person bagging groceries, tearing ticket stubs, and pushing carts deserves a living wage, and if they were paid properly, they might not need to rely on their parents for care. They might choose to live at home, but they could contribute to their expenses, their healthcare costs, transportation costs, and set aside money for retirement. Parents tend to die before their kids, and then what happens? Paying them peanuts to watch them during the day is not assistance, it’s exploitation.
