What's up with that shifter knob?

Like AI, it's not just that he's dumb, he's confidently dumb.

I promise Netflix cancels this after the 2nd season.

Let's not forget that a literal Nazi worked on the game in addition to JK being a giant piece of shit.

Cory Booker has been and will always be a gigantic phony. Pure performance art at every step. I mean he's dating Rosario Dawson, like every normal, morally grounded man of the people would do.

Gnome Builder.

Exactly this. We had a once in a generation chance to change how people watch TV and movies, and we fucked it up once again. We're right back to paying for something with ads. Cable TV was better than broadcast back in the day because you could hear swears and see nudity, but suffer through ads for it.

Sliding? I feel like we're speed running it.

Let the finger wagging commence!

I'm sure it does, I was just being facetious.

I live in a very snowy climate and we had a really rough winter. I own a truck that I use for only utility use and it had just regular all season tires on it this winter. Our driveway had 2-3 feet of snow on it after Thanksgiving. I just locked it in 4wd low and was easily able to plow through it for the entire 200 feet of driveway.

The 'cybertruck' is a fucking joke.

So they can use Linux in the name, just not at the beginning? We're so stupid. Can they do Windows Subsystem for Coke? Or Windows Subsystem for McDonald's? Or Windows Subsystem for MacOs?

Good gravy.

I'm 43, almost 44, years old and went through a bought of alcoholism during the early part of the pandemic. I went through treatment and have been fine since. However, I can't help but feel that all the news in the last few months is just the worst. Between the AI bullshit, the wars, the effects of capitalism, and the political situation in general it's just the worst. Is it just me or have other folks noticed the same trend?

Edit: I should have also mentioned the enshitification of everything tech related.

Edit 2: Thanks for all the thoughtful replies. For some more context, yes I'm American and live in a state that's about to ban the wearing of masks in public. I haven't had a drink in over year and have been in therapy for 3 years. I don't watch any news sources and rarely read media websites. But yet, that information seeps into my life somehow. I donate blood, I make charitable donations, and try to live a good life. I have 2 amazing kids and a great wife. It's just hard to not end up in a doomer mindset at times. A Bitcoin company bought a power plant up here that has an existing lease to use a lake as cooling water, and it's heated up the lake to the point that it's killing fish.
