So if you vote against him, you lose citizenship and he gets 100% of the votes?

Sad thing is the car only haas about 60,000 miles and the clutch bearing died about a month ago. Wasted $2,000 to have a new clutch installed because I’m on raw land and i have not built my garage yet.

Once I build my garage I plan to have a concrete pad poured so I can add a car lift. Might be a few years until I can work on this car and it’s our only car at the moment and I live in the middle of nowhere.

But good news I did buy a pickup truck on Tuesday, they are mailing the keys, title, bill of sale. So hopefully by next week we have another vehicle to drive around here. Sadly the owner died, but that’s how I got a great price on it.

1st works fine. I didn’t force it, just shifted like normal, and knew something was wrong when there was a grinding noise. Hopefully we don’t have to push it. I once owned a stick shift car that the starter didn’t work, we had to push start it each time lol at least until I change the starter.

Just earlier I was reading about this website hosted on solar power and the extremes they went through to get the website to be simple so very little data is transmitted to save precious watts.

It’s been quite the downer lol running errands and parking in ways I can get out ha. My wife keeps saying at least the car didnt leave us stranded, and we can still go out. We live in the middle of nowhere.

Yesterday I didn’t sleep, it was hot and couldn’t sleep.

Got up at 4am, went to work, ran errands. Then as I was driving I put the car in reverse in the freeway instead of 6th gear. What the fuck. Grinding noise.

Turns out the car no longer goes in reverse. I believe I bent the teeth in the synchro gears. Fuuuu, need to pull the transmission and take it all apart. I don’t even have concrete or anything yet. I have lived here 6 months on raw land. I guess for the next few years I need to push the car if I get stuck lol

I plan to have an automotive workshop when we build the garage, but that might be a few years away.

But Elon shut off Starlink to Ukraine at the worst time… he can do it to you too.

If that was under the pillow, then they didn’t change the sheets and pillow cases. 🤢

One time we stayed at a motel 6 in San Diego to visit a family member. The motel allowed pets and we had a dog and cat.

Turns out crack heads in the parking lot had to start the engine on their van every 2 hours and rev the fuck out of the engine ALL NIGHT long. 30 minutes of revving every 2 hours. Omg wtf.

I was fine with pre-roll ads and mid roll ads. Then YouTube became ultra greedy during Covid when tons of people watching, they went from 1-3 ads per video to 30 ads for a 30 minute video (2 ads every 2 minutes). What the fuck.

I installed adblocker because they did that. YouTube was not watchable at all. Sucks, because I didn’t mind supporting the platform and creator, but their greed ruined that.

The Indian in the cupboard? But I don’t remember if he was a toy or not.

Relationships are built on trust. Cheating breaks that trust. That trust will never fully come back 100%. There so always be doubt and it will never be the same.

If my face is in the AD, then fuck you, Pay me.

So this is why I got an email that was completely wrong.

I told a guy I used to work for that I moved and it’s the perfect place to help him and his company.

He replied that he hopes I found a house where I used to live.

wtf it’s like he never read the email at all, now that this AI trash was added, the email makes sense.

I guess he is fucked and doesn’t get the help he needs for his company.

I also often wonder the same thing….

I played with chat bots back in the AOL messenger days. There was this “Run-A-Bot” program I used to run at home, and when I was out I could chat with it and it was surprisingly interactive and realistic.

The responses were probably hard coded to expected inputs, done the hard way… as I feel it should be.

I thought wow if a company spent years add in more and more important data by hand this will be AMAZING in just a few years.

Fast forward 20 years and the AI companies did it the most lazy way possible. Just auto feeding data scraped from the web. Yikes, all the trolls and fake info included.

This new AI is just a sentence generator, it’s almost useless. They have some twisted algorithms to spit out junk but each one is leaning towards whatever twisted views the company that made it want it to spit out.

I was pro AI in the past, but seeing the evil ways these companies use AI just disgusts me.

They steal their training data, and they manipulate the algorithm to manipulate the users. It’s all around evil how the big companies use AI.

Load game… Turns out there are updates, connect to the internet, wait for it to update, then get to loading screen and want to play something else.

I just keep hoping it’s like a police chase, they just keep adding up all the crimes and charges until it’s too much and take him down in the end with a spike strip.

I thought this was fake?
