I’m pretty sure I got TM 32-201-1, the master blaster’s training manual, the improvised munitions handbook, and a handful of others from archive.org.

Less reputable sources are available in all sorts of dark corners of the web, and certainly people could upload tampered versions to IA, but it is generally best to stick to resources that have… some kind of pedigree, when dealing with things that go boom when you look at them wrong.

Not that I’d ever do anything of the sort.

And don’t even get me started on how we drive on parkways and park in driveways.

yup. at the moment if you want a truly private, properly useful local AI agent you basically have to set one up correctly, manually, yourself. Having one come as part of the OS already largely set up for the user would be a massive W.

but yeah, If.

Yeah, we’re considered contractors legally, not employees, so we should be able to set contract rates. We don’t set the rates, though, Lyft or Uber does.

There are some apps that allow drivers to set their own rates (Empower seems to be one), but they don’t serve my area, and even if they did they’re probably vastly less popular to use exclusively right now until they pick up traction.

maybe it’s just what I tell myself to cope, but I feel like Lyft fucks the driver and the passenger slightly less than Uber. I don’t drive for Uber at all now, I can usually get 100% of my rides from Lyft without much downtime, and when I did drive for both Lyft was never as keen on offering me dogshit rides as Uber was, especially after I started declining the bad offers. Uber, on the other hand, seems to want to punish you if you don’t want to take every <$25/hr ride they offer.

Don’t get me wrong, Lyft will still try to screw with you, but they do it less frequently. I get paid for all my wait times, I check. It’s not much for the shorter ones (a minute late is like a couple bucks, maybe) but the longer delays on meant-to-be-shorter rides (fiasco at the checkout, an argument has begun, etc.) can sometimes double the ride profit.

Blasphemy, Mint is amazing.

nothing makes money quite as well as separating the foolish from it.

I always heard it as “women are men, men are little boys, and little boys are Chris Hansen.”

Do giraffes have long necks, or long torsos?

Yeah, the first one obviously.

as someone also with autism, allow me: it’s a shitpost, try not to think too hard about it.

pal, you’re talking about the part of the fediverse that was not just merely interested in but intensely obsessed with BEANS for a solid week (and to some degree still is). You gotta do worse shitposting than this to make us flinch.

when people tell you who they are, believe them

for instance, while I may not believe you fart actual glitter all the time, I also have no doubt that the sort of person who sets “I_Fart_Glitter” as their username also has no qualms about shoving some craft herpes up their funhole just to prove me wrong

now, taking what we’ve learned from this, what’s their username? what does it tell you? it’s quite possible they’re just unfathomably stupid, instead of or in addition to being a killjoy.
