For the lowest common denominator social media user, the bar is even lower. As long as everyone else they follow and care about is on the platform, they will happily move. They won’t even care that they will be free from ads and tracking because they never cared in the first place.

One key point that isn’t mentioned in the article but is said in the video is that he assaulted one of his employees while wearing a ski mask, and the victim was able to identify him because of his breath.

The work bathroom is currently a warzone, on their phone speakers people like to play music, play games at full blast, and one guy likes to chill to ambient rainforest. What song can I play to passive aggressively make it known that I don’t want to listen to their tik tok feeds while I work out my demons?

I’m not sure if this is the right community for this question, but it says “no stupid question” so here goes.

You don’t owe anything to a country just because you were born there, unless you owe taxes, which is inevitable lol. I left my home country for better opportunities and (hopefully) a better life. For most people, uprooting yourself and moving to another country for good is a once-in-a-lifetime chance/opportunity, so take that into account. Good luck.
This is half a decade old news, but I only found this out myself after it accidentally came up in conversation at the DMV. The worker would not have informed me if it hadn’t come into conversation. Every DMV photo in the United States is being used for AI facial recognition, and nobody has talked about it for years. This is...
To be fair, you can get injured by being pulled up violently while wearing your seatbelt, or you and your seatmate knocking heads while strapped down, so there’s still a slight chance. That or it was unpredictable turbulence maybe? So a lot of people were moving around the cabin.
Even in trailers for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, the prequel looks notably different from 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road. While the deep orange hues of the outback-turned-wasteland persist, Furiosa’s overall use of CGI is much more apparent — and somewhat jarring. Initially, director George Miller had intended to shoot Furiosa and...
First thing I noticed when I saw the trailer was the CGI looked “overdone”. I was hoping it was just unfinished footage since some movies do that for trailers, but it looks like it really is like that. I’m still having second thoughts about seeing it in theaters because I don’t want to see a cgi fest, but let’s see.
I was driving from Dallas to Austin in the middle of the night last Wednesday and went through a very strong thunderstorm with hail. Like close to zero visibility on the road. When we stopped at a Bucee’s afterwards, that’s when I heard there was a tornado in the general area and we probably were close to it.
For sure! I’ve never experienced storms as violent before moving here, so it definitely was scary. I didn’t even realize there was a chance of a tornado nearby, and was only thinking of the hail wrecking havoc on my car. I definitely never want to go through that again.

Yup, but still a great improvement from opening an in-app browser. Definitely going the right direction and I’m looking forward to fully embedded videos soon. Thanks!
