Blackmist

I watched the first one many years ago, which appeared to just be Ocean's 11, but for people who think putting blue lights under your car makes it go faster.

Then I watched F&F9 on Netflix the other month. I don't remember any of the plot. At one point a car did a Tarzan rope swing.

Kingdom Hearts.

That patent doesn't sound like it's to eliminate drift. Besides, how would you patent something that people already do and have a name for?

It sounds more like force feedback for sticks.

What I noticed around the referendum was that a lot of Brits seem to think Romanians are all gypsies, confusing them with the Romani.

If they'd bothered to speak to any Romanians, they'd have discovered they have quite a bit in common, as the Romanians seem to hate the Romani even more than we do...

With the Renault it's the back rather than the front. Like they were going for something, but nobody could really decide what.

I'd prefer it if they simply weren't allowed to collect it in the first place.

And I don't think it would be viable, because no fucking way am I giving these parasites any banking information so they could pay me a pittance of what they get. They'd fucking sell that too!

It should be a requirement that you can see your own profile at any time, see everything they know about you, be able to edit it (including clearing it, and not with a billion checkboxes either), and lock it to prevent further modification and addition by themselves.

Time to let Old Painless out of the bag!

There will always be somebody spoonfeeding it, because there will always be people who want to hear it. From Oswald Mosely, through The Daily Mail, Fox News, hate preachers of all denominations... Often for the same pure simple profit that the social media giants are after rather than ideological hatred.

I'd love to see social media destroyed because it contributes literally nothing to society and makes it worse, but I don't believe for a second that a US court would hand down a fine that would be more than the cost of actually policing their own platform. I'm not sure any political party would try to make them, because it's quite apparent that social media platforms have enough sway to throw elections one way or the other. Especially in the US where it hangs on a knife edge anyway. I also don't think reddit is remotely mainstream enough swing global opinions to the right. That's the domain of Facebook and Twitter.

I don't disagree completely. With YouTube, I've seen people go from normal people that you can have interesting conversations with, to doubting Covid existing, to having opinions about Hunter Biden and thinking Russia was right to invade Ukraine. Scary to see people go down hill like that, and not stupid people either. Anyone can fall victim to this.

But Reddit? It lets you find bubbles of racists and incels, sure, but it's not doing the algorithm dance like YouTube does. It's going to be a thin argument for a court case.

The hate was there way before the social media giants, they just group it all together in echo chambers. Before that we had IRC and normies had TV and tabloid newspapers. The hate will still be there when the last gen Z-er turns off TikTok for the last time. Not sure there's any solution for it. Reduce inequality so people don't feel constantly like they've got a fucked up life and it's somebody else's fault? Maybe don't let kids who aren't even old enough to drink have guns? Mental health awareness? But none of these are as enticing as "foreigners stole your jobs!"

The EU ones (does Settled Status even apply to anyone else?) aren't even that.

Nice, you can just upload somebody else's work and get paid for it.

When even Apple keep their stuff supported, you know everyone else is in the wrong.
