  • Charges dropped against Philadelphia officer who fatally shot Eddie Irizarry at traffic stop

    Jump

  • Here's another idea: Don't pull a knife out on a cop. Not too complicated. Not particularly difficult to follow. In fact, for sane, innocent people, it only makes sense.

  • Normal, innocent people are quick to pull it out on a cop. Yeah. Of course. Absolutely. And that doesn't even factor in his erratic driving and going down a wrong way. Nothing of value was lost that day.

  • never bought

    I'd call them a lying sack of shit, quite honestly, because the best marketing is subliminal and can create a desire that you might not notice for a while or in a different environment. You don't have to click on an ad or immediately jump on Amazon to be affected by marketing. But the fact that you might remember the name of a certtain product when you go to the store and buy that type of cereal or simply yearning for a certain type of phone or shoes or car means that marketing is indeed working on that person.

  • Flashback - Mark Zuckerberg on billionaires: 'No one deserves to have that much money'

    Jump

  • Love how people are confusing salaries or yearly income to net worth.

    Net worth is the total accumulated value of all the stuff you own (value of assets minus the liabilities) - houses, cars, investments, etc. That is massively different than what you are getting paid each year which is what a lot of people here are using as a metric.

    It isn't out of the question for someone to make "only" $100 or 200k/year and be considered a "millionaire" by most people's definition. They might be older and have paid off their house. That house might be worth $500k and all the other stuff they own is a few hundred thousand more. Plus maybe $100k in some investment portfolio. Thus making them technically a millionaire. There are a lot more millionaires out there than people realize, including some people here or their parents or maybe grand parents.

    That's not to take away from the argument that billionaires have too much money, but at least phrase the movement correctly. Stop equating someone making $50k/year with someone's who's assets are worth $1B. That's comparing apples to oranges and not just by the sheer difference in the numbers either.

  • Judge rules Donald Trump defrauded banks, insurers as he built real estate empire

  • Free-pass after free-pass for Republicans. Impossibly-high standards for Democrats.

  • Judge rules Donald Trump defrauded banks, insurers as he built real estate empire

    Jump

  • The big questions that no one is asking:

    Why did it take so long to get him for fraud? They specifically mentioned that this was while he was building his real estate empire. He's been doing that since the 80s. Why the fuck did it take some 4 decades to build up a big enough case against him?! Why wasn't he previously investigated? Why weren't any of our useless news agencies digging into his finances? He ran for fucken president, for fucks sakes... why couldn't all this mess have been avoided if various news departments and law enforcement agencies did their damn jobs.

    The most egregious thing about all this is that if he didn't run for president, probably none of this criminal activity would ever have really come to light. District attorneys and news rooms across the country would have just let all this slide. Which then makes you wonder - how many other billionaires are there out there who are nearly as corrupt as Trump, but because they don't lavish the media attention, they keep low and none of us know about them. Why aren't those people being investigated? Why does it take decades to go after these asswipes and only when they purposefully shine the light on themselves?

  • What to do when cat keeps shifting infront of the litterbox

    Jump

  • If this continues with a new litterbox with a cover, then you should consider bringing them to a vet. Cats are very clean animals so if they are pooping outside the box, it is usually for a good reason.

  • Running AI is so expensive that Amazon will probably charge you to use Alexa in future, says outgoing exec

    Jump

  • Well that's exactly what I was thinking when these companies were making these claims... like HOW could they possibly handle this locally on a CPU or GPU when there must be a massive database that (I assume) is constantly being updated? Didn't make sense.

    EDIT: this entire website can go fuck off. You ask a simple question about some reasonably new tech, and you get downvoted for having the audacity to learn some new stuff. People on here are downright pathetic.

  • There wouldn't be much of a planet if everyone was like you - defending or apologizing for thieves, rapists and murderers.

  • What item did you "buy for life?"

    Jump

  • Wahl hair trimmer. No nonsense hair trimmer. Made in the US. Corded so don't have to worry about batteries failing. Been using it every couple of weeks for probably close to 15 years and only recently replaced it with another Wahl trimmer. Got my money's worth out of the first one many times over and would highly recommend it. I expect the new one to last a similar amount of time.

  • Yandex

    What is Yandex? I searched and got this:

    Yandeks, IPA: [ˈjandəks]) is a Russian multinational technology company providing Internet-related products and services, including an Internet search engine called Yandex Search, launched in 1997, information services, e-commerce, transportation, maps and navigation, mobile applications, and online advertising.

    Now I feel I am on some government watchlists for searching that.

  • A new smartphone again? Rethink unhealthy culture of frequent upgrades

  • blame it on the consumer

    Yeah. Blame it on the consumers indeed. Are you a adult or not? Put the tendies down and put your big boy pants on and realize that you need to take responsibility for at least some of your actions.

    Same goes for all those dopes that pre-order every game that gets released and then we all wonder why the industry releases so many unfinished games that need patches and updates. That's because consumers are rewarding these game developers for releasing shitty software.

  • Immune to marketing

    Jump

  • Marketing is a $1/4 TRILLION industry in the US alone because it works. Thinking that you are immune to it for one reason or another is laughable. In fact those that think they are immune to it, probably are the most susceptible to it's pull.

  • Reddit is going to let you turn gold into money

    Jump

  • How is this not going to increase the amount of bots, endless re-posts and in general FUD they get inundated with?

    On the surface it sounds great and all, but to me it seems like it will accelerate the site being the shithole that it was headed to. Introducing money into anything like this typically brings out the worse in people.

  • Running AI is so expensive that Amazon will probably charge you to use Alexa in future, says outgoing exec

  • I don't understand this. Hasn't Intel or Nvidia (or someone else) been making claims about their next CPUs having AI functionality built-in?

  • Me seeing Linux gain 0.0001% of the Desktop Market

  • It's those damn computer makers! Damn them all to hell. They won't pre-install, so clearly that's what is keeping the far superior OS with single-digit marketshare. Clearly, that must be it!1!!

  • On the plus side, even if you did need to update Linux, it's not like you are running anything on it anyways.

  • What to do when cat keeps shifting infront of the litterbox

    Jump

  • They might still have mobility issues. If you don't want to cut the front of the litterbox open to make it lower and bigger, than maybe get a piece of wood or a brick or something else to act like a step to make it easier for them to get into the box.

    Also, I assume the litterbox isn't just the bottom. Those are usually terrible. I am guessing that there is a top/cover to it, right? They could be pooping in the box near the edge and it just falls out if there is no cover.
