Watching #snluk and it starts with a cold open which has a weird ending and then goes to Danny Dyer smashing up a guitar (one of my vises) I'm not confident I'll enjoy this episode

Heard someone suggest a reason that kids drink and do drugs less these days is because so many more are properly medicated for Adhd and autism and it's been stuck in my head since

Our language has been completely warped by Big Tech's algorithms, from a generation that's grown up saying "unalive", to the way everyone's censored themselves talking about the Cornell rapists. It's time to fight back against billionaire control of free speech. www.anildash.com/2026/10/06/k...

Ghostbusters 2. I've been told it's a laughable film but I was so scared of paintings and things on the wall coming to life while I was asleep for ages afterwards

And before people tell me I'm wrong on relying on "search Google for" I've come to realise that the results are at least somewhat predictable at least in the lifetime of the advert campaign, HMRF probably have an advert on the keywords, and we both know you've said that yourself to people

Reminds me of when I was on the phone to the DVLA. They told me to "search for" on my phone to get a list of accepted ID I deliberately played dumb and explained that I could find nothing in my email and asked which app to use "Search for" is a dangerous phrase. Say "search Google for" if you must

Making something legally not mine in my car
Location: Columbus ohio
Could I put a bin in my car with a label to make sure cops know something in my car isn't mine. I'm 18 but my mom and brother are over the age of 21 and sometimes they will leave liquor or weed in my car. I don't want to get pulled over and get a possession charge for it is there any way I can make it legally not mine while in my car. So they don't have to come to my house to pick it up every time.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, holding a red ball labeled "A SILLY MEME".
The second panel shows Sarah taking the ball and going through a door labeled "GROUP CHAT".
The third panel shows a group of women sitting together and consoling one woman in the center. The woman in the center is saying "...And that's how it happened. It's been the worst day of my life."
The fourth panel shows Sarah standing in the doorway behind them awkwardly holding the red ball.

my worry about ai isn’t that it will become sentient, it’s that the cognitive impact of outsourcing critical thinking to computers combined with the proliferation of slop making it increasingly challenging to validate information will dissolve society’s already-tenuous grasp on consensus reality

What is consciousness? What is sentience? These are philosophical question that have been asked since the dawn of time. How lucky we are to live in a time where 7 people in Northern California realised the answer is “being able to predict the most statistically significant next word in a sentence”

This is irresponsible reporting from BBC. This was a completely safe stall and does happen on rollercoasters and was planned for. The stop on the lift hill may have contributed to it but again is a very common thing to do Showing someone go "oh no! Oh no!" makes people think it's worse then it is

Crowds can be heard gasping as they watch the rollercoaster ride come to a stop while suspended in mid-air.

Why young people hate AI even more?

The industry is incapable of any self-reflection, but it should be obvious why this would be the case. Older gens saw Big Tech innovations that changed people's daily lives for the better and/or were at least mixed bags. Personal computers, internet, mp3 players, smart phones, etc. Someone who is 18 has seen.... what? NFT scams and crypto rug pulls. Web 3.0 hype that went nowhere. Gig economy apps that exploit workers and still charge too much for poor service. Zuckerberg's metaverse. A bunch of crap that massively enriched some billionaires without seeming to improve people's lives. Why should any young person look at big tech companies hyping GenAI—who were all pushing metaverse/crypto/etc. a few years ago—and think it would help them?

I hate how big tech companies don't care if you're locked out of your account. I remember Apple once suggesting "create a new account" to fix an issue I was having. It's terrible Access to accounts should be a pretty high support priority
