As they should be. If I recognized anyone wearing them I would yell ‘pervert glasses on this guy’ to everyone in the vicinity.

So do not buy them. If sales fall enough, they will bring back physical media. If you keep buying no matter what they do, of course they will keep doing it.

Isn’t it an AI photo?

Been around long enough to know that we are being sold on a lie that’s real purpose is extracting wealth at the fastest rate possible from the lower 99% while providing unknown risks and low likelihood of benefits to most of the population. The only “AI” that currently works well is a very fast database searcher. It is better than a human at that task but requires humans to create the database and all the information in it first in order for it to work. The only “AI” that seems to be possibly “thinking” for itself is hopeless, wrong, and/or very destructive.

Obviously OP has not gotten home and found a cracked egg or two in the dozen they just bought. I always check.

Not a problem. I dumped Netflix a long time ago.

That was the entire point of the IPO wasn’t it? Funnel money to Elon and his friends and leave the rest of the (less connected) idiot investors holding the bag? Anyone who didn’t own before it could sell wasn’t one of the in-crowd that was supposed to be handed money. If you did buy, you weren’t buying based on any business fundamentals and should have known to sell as soon as any gain could be realized which would have been hours or even minutes after buying.

I cannot tell you anything about any ads I have seen in the last few years online. If they pop up and I can’t shut them off, the single thing I am paying attention to is when the skip now button shows up. I literally cannot tell you anything about any of the ads, neither company nor product. Back in the day, you’d run to the other room and do things while the ads came on in TV shows but you were still hooked in because of the jingles. To this day I can remember many of the jingles from the 70s. New online ads, absolutely no idea.
However in the car I listen to radio and have recently started listening to a new station. I am starting to recognize some of the higher rotation ads. The ones I like, I might eventually try the business if it offers a product I need, but the much longer list is the one of companies that I will never do business with since their ads annoy me so much. Name recognition isn’t great if all it promotes is loathing.

If the person driver is trying to escape culpability, too bad. They made the decision to use Tesla autopilot which is well known to go crazy and crash into things, so the fault remains with them.

Good. I believed in personal computers and the internet changing the world. However the promise was that it would make life better for everyone. It only made life better for a select few who then used it to further their own interests. I don’t think the new grads have anything to lose by refusing to play the game since it is completely rigged against them.

TIL there is something considered “the wrong spaghetti sauce”.

It isn’t that the US has changed. It is the same as it has always been. It didn’t come to Europe’s “aid” until it had to defend itself against the Axis. It has been a American propogated myth that the US aids any other country. The US creates situations to take advantage of other countries and make it seem a benevolent action. The only change is that Trump is too stupid to get the messaging right and says the quiet parts out loud while scamming the American people for his own gain thereby removing America’s political mask and showing America’s real face to the world.

There is lots of other football/soccer around. Watch and support it and don’t support FIFA. Why should they change when fans keep rewarding them for what they are doing? Watching, even for free, is supporting them.

Trump and many others break the current laws with impunity. Which shows all we need to do, and what will be expected, is to pay off the surveilance. Tech Bros are the new mafia.

Funny thing I figured out over the years: widows do not date after their spouse dies for 2 reasons: 1) they were, and still are, madly in love with their spouse, or 2) their spouse/marriage absolutely sucked and they will never ever do that again. The latter is more common.

And don’t drive any vehicle made in the US in the last 15years?

Ironically that was the cause of the first worst scam calls. The govt had a do not call list that you could put your number on which then became THE phone book for scam calls instead of stopping them. If you’ve ever signed up for anything or paid for anything online and had to give your phone number, it went into a list that was sold on. With auto dialers, they just go through every permeation of possible numbers. I don’t get many calls on my cell because I keep that number private and use my already compromised land line for everything.

I don’t answer anything that isn’t identified and that I recognize. If they leave a message I will check it. It’s a pain that so many in the medical and service industries use unidentified numbers forcing telephone tag and they don’t use email or text only phone calls.

Well, he could be right. Not something people who believe in religion want to hear however religion’s purpose is to control the masses and Trump and his ilk are all about controlling the masses. God is just the manipulating tool.
