I’ll give you two, one living, one passed.
Randy Feltface is great with crowd work.
Mitch Hedberg was a genius with delivery, and even though I’ve seen most of his recorded work multiple times, I still laugh out loud.

Because no one would treasure a truly eternal life.
60 miles away from the broadcast center, but luckily in a very flat area. I still have an old-school antenna set up on a tower and rotor, and can pull in between 25-30 stations if you include the digital substations.
I got this set up from Radio Shack in the early 80s. Cable made me regret it for a long time, but let’s hear it for laziness allowing me to get good use out of it since I clipped all but internet service.
Bonus: you can split out the signal and hook the antenna up to home stereos, and get TONS of FM stations that even my car won’t pick up.
Old stuff gets useful again! Yay!
I admire your positive thinking, but it may also provide plausible deniability for legitimate CSAM, by your own logic. Either way, I see this being used to bully, blackmail, or worse. It’s not that we are going to stop AI development, nor that we should. Perhaps as it improves (remember, right now it’s the worst it will ever be), we can teach AI to recognize when it may be used for purposes like creating realistic CSAM or other such material, and have it log or report such uses.
I honestly don’t know the solution, but I don’t see the world ever getting “ho-hum, it’s all fake anyway” about minor involved pornography.
Indiana and Wisconsin USA here. Approaching 50, and learned back in high school, as well as driving old tractors. My first car, a classic even when I got it, was a 63 Chevy Bel Aire manual. Drove manuals all through college and didn’t buy an automatic until 2013, when the type of vehicle I needed didn’t come in a manual.
I really miss driving stick, especially in snowy Wisconsin winters.
You lose the ability to differentiate between a fart and a poo.
At random times whenever you are traveling in any vehicle, you simultaneously feel a sneeze coming on, and yet have to pee a little bit too. However, you can neither sneeze nor pee until you are out of the vehicle.
Inconvenient on a bus/train or as a passenger, deadly if you’re driving. Bicycles are right out, I suppose.
Get to know a taxi driver. Ask locals where to go and what to see. Stop by a visitors bureau or welcome center. Hit up a local colleges student center.
When I traveled a lot, I used to start with the local phone book. Not only did it have business information, but government info, and a section devoted to local arts and museums. These days I (gasp) talk to people at pubs or bars or coffee shops. Obviously, if they are annoyed, I let them be, but you’d be surprised how many people are happy to brag about their community.
Oregon Trail, on cassette, on a RadioShack TRS-80 in the school library.
Gaming heaven.
Started with the 8" bastards on a dedicated word processor (with a 12" CRT, green phospher glow, and typwriter style printer built right into the top of the unit!) that my dad had for medical filekeeping at his office.
It’s been amazing watching storage tech from those to zip drives, and now, floppies of any kind are dying.
And if you’re in a school zone, or hanging out in front of a Boys’ and Girls’ Club, or Chuck E Cheese, there are (depending on state and local municipality, please check your local listings) other expectations of dress and decency. You may have to register, even if you didn’t directly commit a sexual crime.
Reddit migrant here. I actually much prefer the conversations here. Comment threads are still small enough to be manageable, people seem more patient and helpful, and overall, it’s less toxic.
As for the Sync drama, I’m perfectly happy with Connect, but I’m looking forward to Boost, which was my Reddit app of choice.
Alright, that’s it. We are taking this outside.
I have no idea what we will do with it when we get there, but I’m pretty sure it involves fireworks and fingerprinting…
Humans gotta human, and I’ll fight anyone that says otherwise.
The princess bride, Stripes, Airplane, Top Secret, The Room, Birdemic, a few others.
I had an old flip phone that came with a demo of Uno. I could play a single hand, then reset the demo and play again and again. There was only a nag screen when you were exiting/restarting the demo, and not a single other ad.
Passed hours with that little game.
I miss mobile gaming when it was like that.
The fact that they have a record.
Look for a pattern, not a single instance. And yet companies and people hold bad decisions of the past against most folks.
This is fucked up, but those that make Wisconsin labor laws might be thinking Russia is just forward thinking.
(Wisconsin is working to legalize middle school and high school kids working from 4 pm until midnight during school, allow kids as young as 12 to work dangerous factory and slaughterhouse jobs, and let kids as young as 14 tend bar)
I find them useless because you often lose the necessary title and post text that accompanied the image, plus you always lose the relevant discussion. This last bit is almost always the most engaging part of the post.
I suppose they could be useful in adult communities, or for memes and shitposting where titles and text are either redundant or useless.
All in all, I say we get rid of them.
Loved Ferguson. His books are worth a read, too.
