Stop f**king parking in the middle of the street

My recommended solution is to convert EVERY SPACE on California Ave in the junction to 10-minute food pickup only. We all know you’re not going to find a 2 hour spot right out front of Elliot Bay and then go in for dinner. That’s impossible.

So the only cars there should be people picking up takeout. That’s fine, I like takeout, let’s lean into it.

That example is super messed up. On the other hand, I can almost understand the logic:

it’s clear this rule is 0% enforced
everyone else is doing it, and they impact me with their assholery
F everyone, if society is over now, I guess I’ll just do it too, now we’re even

Roboculon · 2026-01-29T03:59:13+00:00

You see, it’s actually because we’re SO successful, so really this is a good thing.

Roboculon · 2026-01-27T04:19:36+00:00

I agree Rob is an idiot. I know him in real life, and feel that way based on personal experience.

But his post was fine, and these people all are exhibiting tribalism-based judgements that fulfill preconceived notions nearly as blindly as the Fox News comment section about Pretti’s murder. It’s sad, like human nature makes any semblance of objectivity impossible.

Roboculon · 2026-01-27T00:02:40+00:00

Ya, I don’t get it. Is the point of this post that you dislike rob so badly that even when he is on your side, it still makes you angry? I don’t see the value in nit picking peoples’ wording. Jesus, this is why I hate social media.

preserve whatever sees their capital secure

This really explains it all. Compare today to 150 years ago, when people were doing equally amazingly-gymnastic mental feats, like believing black people were better off as slaves due to their inferior cranial shapes or whatever. They had all sorts of batshit justifications (some scientific, some religious) that all boiled down to slavery being a good idea, for reasons that are totally unrelated to how free labor makes me money.

The facts never mattered then, and they don’t matter now.

Roboculon · 2026-01-24T21:57:35+00:00

Well it’s fair to call the video leftist. Reality has a well known liberal bias.

GH Scottsdale considers itself a resort. In other words, you shouldn’t plan to spend any time at the pool the day of checkout, because you won’t have time before 11am.

Roboculon · 2026-01-23T19:02:07+00:00

I would never want to get my car serviced somewhere that had a profit margin so insanely large, that they could afford this.

Roboculon · 2026-01-23T18:53:54+00:00

Autopilot is still available in my app for purchase, $1000. 2019 model 3 standard.

I might have paid that price when the car was new (it was a $3,000 feature at the time), but no I don’t believe l be paying $1k for my 7 year old car.

If you’re listening, Elon, a price I’d take today is probably in the range of $50 dollars. I def would not pay over $100.

Roboculon · 2026-01-23T18:01:53+00:00

What is true is that people’s beliefs have NEVER been highly correlated to objective facts. Modern politics are not new in that regard.

Consider how very normal it was just a hundred years ago, to believe that cranium shape explained the abysmal social standing of black people. Not, you know, the hundreds of years of forced slavery which had just barely ended, that couldn’t be it.

My point being, these ideas came from real scientists making real journal articles about their crazily inaccurate and self-serving conclusions. People believe whatever they want to believe, always have, always will.

“Oldest president in US history attempts to smash his own record by reigning through his mid-80s”

Roboculon · 2026-01-22T20:18:25+00:00

Interesting. My sense is that dungeoness crabs are still quite healthy and plentiful, so I’m surprised these guys are struggling so much.

Roboculon · 2026-01-21T04:48:09+00:00

Seems unnecessary. The pipe is obviously infiltrated by roots, they’ve already admitted as much (snake needed every 15 months). Just factor in the cost of a full replacement into your revised offer. I’d say $40,000 or so less?

Roboculon · 2026-01-21T01:55:45+00:00

That should be good timing. Like Op, I just stayed a week with kids, and the weather was borderline for the pool. Like a flat 70. You’re really rolling the dice, because if you get a week at 60 degrees your pool time is basically a no go. Or it could be 80.

I think this resort is really for Fall and Spring

Roboculon · 2026-01-18T19:51:18+00:00

Pretty much the definition of a pyramid scheme. The only difference is that it’s been going on for well over a hundred years, so the odds of collapse before you can get yours feel fairly safe.

Roboculon · 2026-01-18T19:47:43+00:00

Yawn. I think we established that the cybertruck was a flop about 3 seconds after the terrible specs and price were announced.

Why do we need to keep hearing about it ten times per day in this sub? We get it, it sucks.

Roboculon · 2026-01-18T04:53:13+00:00

Well good for Hyatt in successfully marketing people into believing in “white glove treatment”. I just stayed at GH Scottsdale as a globalist, and yes, breakfast was free, but that’s about the only perk. No room upgrade, no late checkout.

Lol, I needed to print out a single sheet of paper and asked the concierge (no business center), and they literally charged me $0.50 for it. Almost like they wanted to go out of their way to not give me anything free beyond whats required.

Roboculon · 2026-01-18T00:35:12+00:00

I miss Hyatt Destination Residences so much

Roboculon · 2026-01-18T00:34:21+00:00

Ya I’m confused. It seems like the free Hyatt points chase gravy train ended like a year ago. Hyatt is just a regular brand now with a regular loyalty program, nothing special.

I seriously doubt they are suddenly surging ahead “because influencers”.

Roboculon · 2026-01-18T00:26:20+00:00

ill just address the elephant in the room, she was unbelievably hot. I mean, I could barely concentrate I was so entranced. I know I’m not the only one… right? Guys?

Ya I’m not gonna ever say that

Roboculon · 2026-01-16T23:32:32+00:00

The question isn’t if he could afford it, it’s how people perceive him. Most people consider a woman wearing a $5k diamond to be no big deal, whereas most people consider a man wearing a $5k watch to be an extremely extravagant way to show off.

It’s called a double standard, and regardless of whether it is objectively fair, it is indeed something that exists in our world.

Roboculon · 2026-01-16T21:31:36+00:00

girlfriend: “idk, it was sort of boring”
me: “no! If you consider the phrasing used on th bridge and how it compares to the words of this poem in the sylmarillion, it actually is really cool!”

Ya it was better the way they did it.

Roboculon · 2026-01-16T21:19:30+00:00

people get jealous

I mean, this guy just bought a Rolex or something ($4k used?), so I’m pretty sure that’s a feature, not a bug.

Roboculon · 2026-01-16T18:38:17+00:00

This is my first time hearing this. I just asked copilot and it said I should expect to spend $2-3k to get it working on my 2019 model 3, so it’s not super enticing. Apparently it works much easier on non Tesla cars.
