I know a guy named Aubrey, but what difference does that make? Apple named the product in the USA, where the masculine form of the name is extremely uncommon, especially since 2011. The name was chosen because it was a play on the SRI technology and because it is a girl’s name.
Also, Pinto means tiny penis in Brazil.
Siri is a girls name, though. In like ten different languages. It was the 12th most popular girls name in 2009, 2 years before Apple launched Siri in 2011. I understand that it was named for SRI, but it was still a feminine name.
Honestly, I’d settle for a crash test dummy on skis tumbling down the ramp then ragdolling off into the air, like a SuperDave sketch.
I feel like in both events, the regular person would just go at a slow, life-preserving pace. There’s no way to ski jump slower.
This is how you explain gerrymandering to kids.
It’s like if the slowpoke meme and the fellow kids meme had a baby and it tried to claim it was steering the boat while waterskiing.
The hard part is cleaning up the mess at the bottom of the ski jump.
I haven’t not heard of this movie, but I didn’t know it was in theaters and I have no idea what it’s about or if it’s worth the price of a ticket.
So whatever they put into marketing, the result is “vaguely aware a movie exists.”
I was hoping for a decentralized version of discord ever since they started requiring phone numbers.
Something something your mom or whatever.
Honestly, that was such an easy setup for a mom joke, I can’t muster the enthusiasm to formulate it.
It would be less expensive to simply trust everyone. Administering a numbering system and trying to prevent fraud costs more than the actual fraud it prevents, and does nothing to prevent the larger frauds.
It’s like having a chain on the pen at the bank, with a security guard watching the chain, and three managers making aure the secuirty guard is watching the chain all day, but the cash drawers are open and the three managers simply help themselves to as much cash as they like.
Right there with standing outside during a cold snap spraying aerosols in the air hoping for global warming.
That’s… not how penises work.
I know a family that has one. Dad drives the kids to and from school and activities in it, and mom drives a Model S. We live in a fairly progressive area.
They aren’t political, just affluent enough to be oblivious.
If you’re paying $1,000 a month for your car, you have money to burn, or you have a terrible driving record and your insurance is absurd. We have two cars, each with a monthly payment of less than $300, and our combined insurance is $450 and includes two life insurance policies.
There’s no way we could afford to move into the city. First, there are more jobs out here. Second, the public schools are so much better than in the city. Third, we have space for dogs, a garage with bikes, a fenced-in yard and a creek.
I lived in the city for 10 years, and I do miss it. I miss commuting on my bike. I miss being able to take the subway home after a night of drinking. I miss walking to the corner bodega for the best fucking potato salad anywhere.
But when we moved to the burbs, the rent was $1,600 a month for our two bedroom apartment. The exact same apartment is now $3,000 a month in rent, which is more than my mortgage payment for a 4 bed, 2.5 bath on 2 acres (bought in 2018, before rates went to absolute shit).
The point is, I can’t afford to move anywhere because the cost of living everywhere is too high. For us, it doesn’t make financial sense not to have a car.
Because that’s how they want it.
I know this is a serious story, but that headline had me wondering when the war got to Walmart.
There are lots of reasons not to use ChatGPT (or any AI) but it’s silly to think the consumer subscribers cancelling their subscriptions will make a dent. The real money is in the enterprise contracts. They only have a paywall to set limits on the overhead.
You’re right. They add it to your homescreen without asking, and then one of the kids clicked on it. It’s not a terrible app, actually, I just resent having to turn off all the bullshit they keep adding to my home screen. Once I realized that someone had enabled it, I picked some images that weren’t too bright or distracting, and left it alone because I figured why not? Then I walk into the room where someone left the tv on, and it’s got this qr code across the bottom.
Thankfully, there wasn’t any burn in, but still. It felt like a “Beware of Sign” sign.
I’m sure that was fun to watch for Seahawks fans, but it was not a good game. Halftime show was good, though.
Also, Gemini is decidedly masculine, as it refers to the male twins Castor and Pollux, the plural of the latin geminus.
