I feel like Mel fucking Brooks may have less energy available at this point in his career to push his artistic vision through.

I feel like this movie is the cinematic equivalent of 90-year-old congresspeople giving us “greatest hits of ideas that played well decades ago”.

Go. Retire. You had a great career for a long time. Now find a smaller audience.

My vet told me some dogs ate sensitive to grapes and some dogs can have as much as they want without harm and you only find out which way it is for your dog by watching them die of kidney failure

A trans woman sold me a car tire once outside Calgary and seemed to be having a just fine day working at the tire shop with her co-workers

I drive a giant motor home with headlights about five feet lower than my eye level.

Other cars’ reflectors work fine.

Sometimes it’s hard to read reflective signs above way over the highway, but retroreflective stuff at road level is definitely working

Yes, those count as technical skills and there are many, many people for whom it’s too big a hurdle.

picking out a decent micro PC that actually works is hard.

Getting a pc install (presumably windows) configured in a way that will display in the TV legibly from the couch is hard.

Requiring a keyboard and mouse to use your TV from the couch is weird and off-putting. Most people won’t want to and some people will have difficulty understanding what they’re supposed to do with these objects

The technical competence bar for getting a TV plugged in and working is just ridiculously, ridiculously low, and that’s for a reason

It does not — dumb people have the same access to the better drugs as smart people.

A eugenics-driven society where dumb people are left to die and smart people get extra health care likely would be effective at breeding children who are better at passing the “smart people” test, but I would not like to live in a society like that.

If you’re about to argue that having enough money to pay for health care correlates with intelligence… I would welcome some evidence. I used to think that was obvious but, having grown up and experienced the world some, the only thing I see that correlates with intelligence is depression.

Sounds great as a headline but I bet it winds up somehow very easy for Elon Musk to unmask his haters and very hard for John Q Random to drive that same process.

Meanwhile government agencies and big tech advertising schemes get a great new way to track who's using which website for what activity.

Super all around for everyone who already has power.

Normal residential oven vent hoods do not remotely get all the cooking exhaust. I’m not sure they get any meaningful quantity of cooking exhaust.

Try an experiment that I’ve done at least once in several different houses over the years: turn on your hood vent fan, then leave your food on the stove and accidentally burn the everloving shit out of it.

Is your house full of smoke and fire alarms going off? Then your range hood is not protecting you from combustion products coming off the range

You can’t hurt me with this meme. I am somebody’s favorite person. At least one other person on this earth thinks I am the best.

What are tech companies going to do when customers go an increasing amount of years between purchases?

Ignore them and continue selling almost exclusively to businesses and manufacturers?

My friend in high school had a dog who didn’t like women.

Banging his face repeatedly on windows, car mirrors, and anything else remotely shiny at 6 am while I’m trying to sleep, maybe?
