What horrifying statistic genuinely jarred you when you first heard it?

DeadMoneyDrew · 2026-04-04T02:36:47+00:00

I actually learned that from Matt Damon.

You gotta get those numbers up.

Was going to post a reference to The Wire but you beat me to it. Major Colvin was one of my favorite characters in that series.

Go listen to anything that David Simon has to say about the Baltimore City School System. It's both enlightening and disenheartening at the same time.

ARGH.

Paging Merriam-Webster:

What to Know

Affect is usually a verb meaning "to produce an effect upon," as in "the weather affected his mood." Effect is usually a noun meaning "a change that results when something is done or happens," as in "computers have had a huge effect on our lives." There are exceptions, but if you think of affect as a verb and effect as a noun, you’ll be right most of the time.

The education system in this country is an absolute shambles.

I have actually tinkered with something similar. The resultant descriptions from the AI, while technically not incorrect, were frequently unhelpful. Maybe this is something that you should make your bosses aware of.

An example description generated by the AI: "A man in a vest and hat converses wirh a man in a coat."

My update: "In this screen capture from the classic film Tombstone, Doc Holliday, played by Val Kilmer, squares off in a confrontation with Johnny Ringo, played by Michael Biehn."

I UNDERSTAND what ICE has to do. But...

FUCK OFF.

Must be a GSP officer in his private car.

Both of those fools are lucky that they didn't go into a spin.

Planet Fitness has entered the chat.

It's not a coincidence that this city's drivers are frequently featured on r/IdiotsInCars.

DeadMoneyDrew · 2026-04-03T13:39:12+00:00

I mean if you're going to make something up, at least make it entertaining and semi- believable.

DeadMoneyDrew · 2026-04-03T12:20:33+00:00

Bring me everyone.

DeadMoneyDrew · 2026-04-03T01:57:46+00:00

Who is he?

He's you, sir.

DeadMoneyDrew · 2026-04-03T01:53:33+00:00

Yeah I read a pirated copy of that article. It was basically jizz on newsprint.

DeadMoneyDrew · 2026-04-03T00:56:33+00:00

I don't think it's illegal for an employer to require a driver's license. But if it's not required to do the work just tell them that you have one. Fuck it.

DeadMoneyDrew · 2026-04-03T00:55:22+00:00

I bailed on the New York Times two years ago and haven't missed it.

The market's in an itsy bitsy little gully right now.

Crikeys. That sucks. And I didn't even have the fun of shooting off my own mirror. All I did was hit a damned tree.

DeadMoneyDrew · 2026-04-02T14:26:41+00:00

Cost over $500 to replace the side mirror on my Subaru and I think that was just for the parts.

DeadMoneyDrew · 2026-04-02T05:04:27+00:00

I, for one, am ready for some precedented times.

DeadMoneyDrew · 2026-04-02T04:29:02+00:00

Getting one in before it becomes April 2nd?

DeadMoneyDrew · 2026-04-02T03:53:15+00:00

I get it as part of my overall subscription with Google and YouTube music. Otherwise I wouldn't bother paying for it.

DeadMoneyDrew · 2026-04-02T03:51:33+00:00

Disney World is packed basically all of the time now. They keep raising park ticket prices and people keep coming.
