2. While also exponentially increasing the amount of good people becoming more aware of how broken parts of society are.

Let’s hope good people continue to do good things in every way they are able.

Thank you everyone trying to make things better.

Does route calculation happen on device or on Google servers? Is it cheaper for Google to not show alternate routes?

That movie couldve been so much more…

Comments like this are just the definition of irony…

Some good ideas here. Probably go with a word limit in your last bullet instead of the 5 minutes

How’s that strategy working out for you? For us?

Unfortunately “don’t give them money” doesn’t work. Bc commerce is global due to internet. There will always be uninformed buyers in every product space. And always buyers who don’t care.

My solution, posts like this. We should be informing others of these practices and discussing ways to bypass, repair, or disable blocks and unintended behavior on the products and services we purchase.

The world is vastly more complex than it ever was before. I get it feels useless, but learning anything makes us smarter.

Being smarter means we will handle situations intelligently. There is no useless learning.

I was mostly curious those that want to abolish it what their alternative solution is.

Under popular vote, DeSantis is still running and maybe now he gets 63 billion votes from Florida alone. The impact of this fraud (there are not 63 billion ppl voting in Florida) is bigger with no electoral college.

Other countries don’t have EC bc other counties don’t have our state and government structure.

Yall do you. I’m not very political anyway.

Abolish electoral college is not the answer to these issues. Unless you have a new idea in mind. Electoral college is better than using popular vote. It helps prevent fraud from any one particular state.

About a month ago i asked gpt to draw ascii art of a butterfly. This was before the google poem story broke. The response was a simple

But i was imagining ascii art in glorious bbs days of the 90s. So, i asked it to draw a more complex butterfly.

The second attempt gpt drew the top half of a complex butterfly perfectly as i imagined. But as it was drawing the torso, it just kept drawing, and drawing. Like a minute straight it was drawing torso. The longest torso ever… with no end in sight.

I felt a little funny letting it go on like that, so i pressed the stop button as it seemed irresponsible to just let it keep going.

I wonder what information that butterfly might’ve ended on if i let it continue…

I’d add hating on Hawaiian Pizza into this list.

Irony!

I want to believe!

Fair enough. Didn’t look at username. Carry on.

Some people can’t take a breath without making it political.

Something similar to this happened to me. Saved a comment in a sub that I no longer care for, but the comment was deleted or removed later. Now my saved feed has a blank comment from a deleted username but it’s still linked to that sub. Cannot unsave it.

I have no idea if this is correct, but you get my point for knowing Act Raiser well enough to throw it out in a thread like this.
