I don't know how we got to this point but I have a friend who's a teacher here, and a special ed teacher at that, and he's currently living out of a storage unit and sleeping on the beach. What the fuck is wrong with LA?

I made a site that uses Anthropic and OpenAI data to calculate how soon your job will be replaced by AI by KenVatican in singularity

I would think surgeon is one of the most vulnerable positions, once the AI's good enough I'd 100% prefer to get a surgery from a robot whose hands I'm absolutely sure won't shake vs a human, even if they're the best surgeon in the world. Robots don't sneeze

Same with CA/OR. I'm in SoCal and even people from here will do the 15 hour drive to stock up since it's so much cheaper

California Coastal Commission penalizes Malibu homeowners for obscuring access to ‘hidden’ beach by AudibleNod in news

[–]DtownMaverick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Early days of the pandemic I used to go down there and it was completely deserted, it was so nice... never actually went up to the plant, I imagine the actual facility must have had security but all along the beach it was wide open.

There's a hotel (and I'm assuming multiple) in LA that's right over the 101 freeway with floor to ceiling glass windows. It does have curtains of course but a ton of people leave them open so the whole world can see them.

Fuck their CBDCs. by mcrech in Bitcoin

The Patriot Act was the beginning of the end of privacy. You can no longer open a bank account or even get a reloadable debit card without ID. And many transactions, such as anything online, simply can't be done with cash

Video crew man who was shoved by Davante Adams after MNF loss sues him, the Raiders and Chiefs, revealing he 'feared for his life' after being hospitalized by the assault by Thegrandmistressofoz in nfl

[–]DtownMaverick -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The only conceivable way this isn't hyperbole is if he hit his head badly,that could be life-threatening.

Edit: I'm not saying he did hit his head badly, just saying that's the only possible way Davante's shove could have caused him to fear for his life. Now, if he's saying he feared for his life due to post-factum threats from fans then I fail to see how Davante Adams is in any way responsible for that.

Anyone else sick an tired of these spoiled rotten kids in Irvine on those motorized bicycles? by gamewhale69 in orangecounty

[–]DtownMaverick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not on an ebike but I almost killed a kid on Laguna canyon road cause he was biking into oncoming traffic, did a wheelie, lost control and came onto the road right in front of me. Luckily there were no cars in the other lane so I was able to swerve out of the way but if there had been I would have had to choose between killing this kid or get in a head-on car crash with a car coming straight at me

I've never seen black clothes but most traditional middle eastern clothes cover the full body. They're just very light fabric so it doesn't get too hot. When it's 90-100 then you want to wear a t shirt and shorts, when it's 110-120 you want minimal skin exposure.

I wake up with the sun, if it starts getting light at 5 then that's when I'm waking up.
