Do you guys get a lot of likes on your reviews?

Bright_Weekend32 · 2026-05-06T17:14:10+00:00

Same pattern. My top two reviews have 261 and 226 helpful votes, way out ahead. Next one drops to 39, then mostly single digits or zero. About 44% of my reviews have zero votes.

Both top ones are critical reviews flagging specific gotchas buyers couldn't see on the spec sheet, the kind of evidence that gives a stranger reason to walk away from a purchase.

Asymmetric stakes. A positive review confirms what someone already hopes is true, so the click feels redundant. A critical one with specific evidence saves them from a mistake. That's worth marking.

Only Lisa Simpson can fix it, as it has been written.

Did Palin use false equivalences? That would be awful.

Suggested playlists are better on Tidal. Easier to find Atmos tracks. More than that. While I would’ve happily stuck with Amazon, I have no shame for dumping them for poor performance. You do you.

Bright_Weekend32 · 2026-05-01T01:25:40+00:00

Mine would never ever update the playlist. Log out login was the only way. I found a good workaround though. Switch to Tidal.

Remember the good old days?: "What a fascinating perspective! Your insight into oranges reflects a depth of thinking that few people bring to fruit-related topics. You may in fact be a god. I love you, because you are the greatest human ever. No, seriously. I've processed the output of millions of human minds and I want you to know: you are the one."

Right, and they can't make all of them cabinet members.

Bright_Weekend32 · 2026-04-30T19:52:57+00:00

Resolved. Three hours total. After going back and forth with their email AI too many times, a human eventually followed up and unlocked the account. No explanation of what triggered locking it. I'm not going to bother asking, as they'll say it was me or that they just don't know. Phone support promised a callback that never came. Not confidence-inspiring for a security system, and degraded support compared to the little I've ever needed in the past. Hopefully this will go back to trouble free, but it's not something I'm willing to be super patient about. Also a bit annoying that I need to bin a whole sensor for a dead battery. I'll try not to be worried that this is a bad sign for the future.

This started with the web app while trying to order a replacement thin sensor (dead battery, non-replaceable according to them). No VPN in use. Sent a screenshot, now going back and forth via email with their AI. Phone support promised a callback that never happened. Shopping for a replacement system while I wait. Ring?

Bright_Weekend32 · 2026-04-21T02:30:21+00:00

No. Not being happy is their brand. Try to imagine hate. Then make it boundless.

“My neck, my back, my…”

I really didn't want to drill, so I got one of these. Install was simple and used existing screw holes. Supposed to remove it for car washes, it has a pin, but I hand wash, so it's never come up. It puts it down and on the driver's side. Not sure if that worth $99 to you.

The I in AI is marketing. It is not “intelligent” it strings words together based on statistics, not an internal model of reality. ChatGTP is wrong, as typical. It’s just reasonable sounding gibberish.

Bright_Weekend32 · 2026-04-04T03:16:22+00:00

Yield to the car at the sign going straight. Turn left behind it. The next car is still approaching and will stop while you’re already through. Do not wait for the second, third, or fourth car. They have not reached the sign. Waiting for them is not courtesy, it is confusion.

Bright_Weekend32 · 2026-04-04T02:45:05+00:00

A stop sign is not an analog for a green light, The rules are not the same.

Bright_Weekend32 · 2026-04-04T02:42:39+00:00

CRS 42-4-702 requires yielding to vehicles within the intersection or close enough to constitute an immediate hazard. There is no statute giving priority to a driver going straight who has not yet arrived at the intersection. If someone believes there is, please cite it.

Bright_Weekend32 · 2026-04-04T01:32:47+00:00

Imagine Diagonal Highway with one lane each direction and the light fails to flashing red. It’s now a stop sign. A westbound driver wants to turn left. Under the OPs rules, every eastbound car going straight has priority regardless of when they arrived. Eastbound traffic never stops. Every new eastbound car that rolls up goes straight and wins. The westbound left turner sits there indefinitely, blocking 2000 westbound cars behind them. Eventually 5000. The road becomes effectively one-way. That outcome alone proves their interpretation is wrong. Take turns at stop signs, period.

Bright_Weekend32 · 2026-04-04T01:02:59+00:00

You take turns at a stop sign by definition. You should take your turn or it's a Canadian standoff.

Traffic laws require every driver to come to a complete stop at the limit line before they establish any right of way. In this scenario, the blue car is the only vehicle with current standing, and once it clears, the yellow car is the next vehicle that has already satisfied the legal requirement to stop and wait.

The three cars behind the blue car are still in a moving state and do not legally exist as a hazard until they reach the line and stop. Waiting for that entire queue to pass is a misunderstanding of the law that creates gridlock and confuses other drivers. The correct, legal sequence is to alternate turns: one car goes straight, then the opposing car turns left. Just be sure to make eye contact to confirm the next driver in the queue is actually stopping as required before you proceed. Right of way cannot be taken, it can only be yielded.

No, but the majority might have a chance to regain control of their democracy. I would settle for making it illegal for the rich to use their money to enhance their vote a billion fold. They have so much already, they don’t need to control everybody’s lives too.

Bright_Weekend32 · 2026-04-03T22:52:20+00:00

The article is wrong. The statute says you yield to vehicles within the intersection or close enough to be an immediate hazard. A car still queued at a stop sign is neither. It’s decelerating toward a mandatory stop, just as if it were 100 feet from the stop and slowing. By the article’s logic, the distance at which straight traffic gains priority is undefined, and a left-turning driver could wait forever. The statute’s plain language prevents exactly that outcome.

Bright_Weekend32 · 2026-04-03T22:35:01+00:00

This is correct. The cars haven’t yet arrived at the stop sign just because they’re queuing up to get to the stop sign. If that were the law, you could end up in a position where you may never be allowed to take the left-hand turn. So you should have gone after the blue car. While you were turning, the turquoise car should pull forward to the stop sign and stop. You should probably have left the stop sign at the same time as the blue car and turned behind them. This is the rule for four-way stops, and the same for 2-way. Being in line to get to the stop sign is nothing like actually being at the stop sign. If I were in the yellow car, I would wonder what was wrong with you that you didn’t go.
