The monk pays with a twenty, which the vendor pockets.

“Where’s my change?”

“Change comes from within.”

I do, because between every online service being hammered by scrapers training AI and every online service being stuffed full of AI slop, it’s ruining the internet.

Pfft, he’s just some guy distracting people from what’s important: rich people are making slightly less money! Sound the alarm!

That’s easy, their real belief is that they need to make as much money as possible. They’re only pro-capitalism when it means making more money.

Yeah, everyone thought that Chinese cars would have terrible safety and quality, and then the Chinese cars actually turned up and they didn’t. And the auto industry collectively made a whoopsie in their pants.

They’re still pushing the narrative that Chinese cars are garbage though, because that and tariffs are all that they’ve got.

I’ve heard that’s a thing - people spend the morning in church being told that they’re better than everyone else and then they carry that attitude with them when they go out to eat after church. It takes them a few hours to sober up and remember how to human.

My BYD has a decent mix. It has a volume knob on the steering wheel which you can press to mute, and a previous/next button.

If you want to mess with your playlist though, you use the touchscreen. You’re not supposed to do that sort of thing while driving.

Bonus points if they complained about all the foreigners (French people) in Paris.

“Hey, here’s a useful thing that I recommend to people: <your work>”

We’ve all had Kerbal Space Program missions that went like that.

Depends - would you be okay with it focusing on white history?

In a weather report

With that song you need to link a version with lyrics, because the place names need to be seen to be believed

It’s school IT, so it was probably a teacher who ‘knows computers’ and not anyone with IT training.

It’s not 2024, and the inability to hide things has apparently just made it more blatant when we decide to ignore genocide.

Going along is easy until it ends with shit like the Holocaust.

Have you seen the reactions every time someone suggests it’d be nice if Israel stopped shooting people and taking their land? We’re pro-genocide now.

Obligatory reminder that the Third-of-a-Pound burger failed because people thought it was smaller than a Quarter Pounder, since it had a three in it instead of a four.

If you ever want to make a greybeard feel old, find a floppy disk in his cupboard, hold it up and say, “Hey look, someone 3D printed a save icon!”
