My son really liked that one, and he would watch it over and over. I can’t even guess how many times I’ve watched it at this point. Although that number pales in comparison to Wall-e. Before he moved on to How To Train Your Dragon, he would watch WALL-E literally on repeat. I used to whisper little prayers of thanks to whatever caused his little brain to fixate on Wall-e rather than some of the other movies he could have fixated on.

FYI, most newer cars have a way for you to turn off the auto lock feature. It is usually a setting in menus, but some might have you do things like close all the doors, turn the car on, and then hold the unlock button for 10 seconds.
Worst case scenario is it has to be done through the programming tool, so if you can’t figure out how to do it yourself, then the next time you have it serviced tell them to turn off the auto-locks.

If I remember correctly, when auto locks were first introduced some countries saw them as dangerous so automakers were required to provide a way to turn it off.

Maybe Uber is trying to start a new dating app. “The best way to pick up chicks is to trap them in your car.”

Lemmy only exists because the people who were too much of an asshole for reddit (they got banned) decided to make themselves a place where they can’t fully be banned. So, ya, there’s still that core of the “I hate everything” asshats that can’t be gotten rid of.
On the other hand, the huge influx of people that abandoned reddit for moral reasons or because they became a fascist propaganda machine are typically very liberal and open minded (woke). But I find that there’s not much room to have nuanced discussions when every such conversation gets brigaded by the small group of haters and their army of alt accounts and bots.
I also have noticed a massive influx of paid shills here pushing divisiveness, “anarchy”, violence, and “social tolerance” fatigue (they ostensibly are promoting social awareness and causes, but go out of their way to insult what is already a woke group). Unfortunately, this attack on social values works well when you have a group that hates everything already. People just aren’t interested in nuanced discussions when any opinion they voice gets them attacked by what appears to be “both sides”.

Spying.

You smoke cigarettes and go on 2 day long bicycle rides for fun? That’s like being a vegan who will eat meat but only if the animal died in some truly awful way.

Certain members of it care too much, way too much.

Beanie babies were a thing, a real physical thing. You could hand one to a child and they could play with it for years, or you could use it as a weapon and knock one of your siblings unconscious. But it was a thing. Nfts are a digital link to something. They are not even the thing that they link to.

You clearly didn’t grow up before lithium batteries. Before lithium, batteries sucked and they sucked hard. You would spend a small fortune to buy 5 lb of batteries to put in your tape player, CD player, remote control toy, anything portable and then you would get between 5 minutes to an hour of total use time. Or, if it was you rarely used the gadget, or it was something like a remote control that were only on for incredibly short bursts as you push the button, you would leave the batteries in it until they went dead. But then you got the treat of opening it up to replace the batteries and finding that they leaked all over the inside and destroyed the device.
I have lost so many portable devices to leaking batteries that I can’t even begin calculate how much it’s cost me. Before smartphones, I had probably spent upwards of $1,000 ( in today’s money) in calculators alone. I don’t even work in some kind of math-type job or have a mathematics type degree.

And this is why all of Dave’s neighbors have learned to securely lock down their entire house before taking a shower.

But only if you look around and then covertly gesture at your genitals while saying it.

looks like he had veneers put on his teeth and a bunch of Botox.

I bought a set for work that comes with 2 rechargeable lithium packs and an external charger so you can just swap as needed.

Today I learned something new, and it was completely insane. Thank you.

My first thought was maybe this will work for us. Can you imagine how many of these ancient fuckheads who vote for shit like this are going to die every day because they can’t figure out how to log in to their pacemakers and verify their age?

I suspect that it is because it’s a wall of text (lemmers don’t like long posts) and if you scan through it looking to see if it is worth reading, it comes off as a crazed rant. The way he has it formatted, the sentences he puts exclamations on, just the things that catch your eye come across as sketchy.

No, it is not.

Does too.

More like Lead Poisoning.

Hoffman was a founder of Reddit, he was a part of the very creation of the site. He also had absolute and unlimited access to every bit of data that reddit ever had or created. He was also well known for editing other people’s comments for his own amusement and narcissism. He not only could have easily been the creator, but he could have been the very mod who made his other account “a mod as a joke”. He definitely could have removed himself as a mod of jb just as easily as any of the other well known edits he did to Reddit. And he definitely had direct and unfettered access to every single photo that was ever uploaded or linked to Reddit, even the ones that were so illegal that even the jailbait mods took them down.
So, the other guys opinion that Hoffman was the head pedo and creator of jailbait is just as valid and verifiable as your opinion that it was a joke that he nothing to do with it.
