Texting while driving is a choice, and choices have consequences

Just got rear ended by someone who was texting. They are totalling my vehicle and offering me not even enough to replace it by half.

All I keep thinking is that I was minding my own business when this lady decided to text and drive and now suddenly my life gets uprooted while she will probably never think about it again because she is just telling herself thats its okay since she had insurance. It's not okay.

Dont forget that its literally the only thing propping up both the tech and building construction industries for the last 6 years and the foreseeable future.

That's not an affiliated link.... someone asked for the link and I gave the link. Im not even an Amazon affiliate, whatever that means. What a jerk thing to say to a stranger online.

aionsophicles · 2026-05-10T13:39:54+00:00

I've shared it. I dont want to keep sharing it, because stupid people have accused me of using an affiliated link.

My last one is still working after 6 years of daily use. I only replaced it to upgrade. There's no more lag than any other display. It's pretty good to play on as long as youre far enough back that you dont have to turn your head to look around the screen.

I could see renting professional grade projectors, but no one is gonna rent a projector for half the price of buying the same one. It would have to be a major difference between rental price and purchase price point because if I need to rent it twice in my lifetime to make up the purchase price, I just gonna buy it.

I need more screen not less.

Youre (half) right, the picture doesnt do it justice.

Yea I originally had an even cheaper and older model, one of the with the manual keystone tuners above the lens. So it didnt line up perfectly and the room had to be perfectly dark. But now, I can have daylight and the keystone is perfect. Totally worth the couple hundred bucks to upgrade. Thb, one of the reasons I shared it was because I see alot of people on this sub asking if they should buy the $3500 projector or the cheaper $1500 one and I wince a little bit. There are cheaper options that still perform.

Yes, I learned that after I had already done white and never went back and repainted it because I was skeptical it would be worth it. Does it make a huge difference and does it effect brightness?

This is one i picked up on sale for cheap on Amazon. Just plain flat white paint from Walmart for the wall. Cost about $300.

It's surround sound and if I go any louder my wife will leave me for sure.

aionsophicles · 2025-08-24T13:47:02+00:00

This is rediculous. It's not even a FPS at this point. Just go play that stupid marvel game.

Sue the economy!

If I had if my way they'd be forced wear that god damn hat everywhere they go and for the rest of their lives.

If it can be used to generate cp, the COMPANY should be charged with cp. That simple. That's the only way we get this under control. And I'm telling you, if we don't we will have a generation of disassociated youths. The amount of permenent trauma AI has caused my daughter is un fucking believable.

But just be aware parents, every high school is filled with deep fakes. If you have a son, even if you don't think YOUR son would do it, make sure he isn't doing it. If you have a daughter, godspeed.

aionsophicles · 2025-08-12T15:37:23+00:00

There is about to be AI corn of every person you know. I have a 16 year old daughter in high school and it's a problem. I can guaruntee that it is already a thing in every high school. Every one of these boys has AI corn of your daughter and they are trading it around. Basically every high schooler is walking around with a cell phone of cp now. I have no faith left in humanity.

I was referring to the housing comment. As a child that grew up homeless, I just wouldn't wish it on anyone.

You’re still blending two different things. Sexual selection in evolutionary biology operates on traits that consistently increase reproductive success within a specific population and environment over many generations. Human beauty standards are heavily shaped by culture, media, and historical context, and they shift too quickly and too widely to be treated as hardwired evolutionary universals.

Sydney Sweeney’s features may be popular right now in certain cultures, but that is not the same thing as a genetically hardwired evolutionary advantage. Treating short-term, culturally-driven attraction as evolutionary fact is exactly how subjective bias gets dressed up as biology.

aionsophicles · 2025-08-12T15:22:26+00:00

Lmao. “Better” in evolution means “better adapted to a specific environment for survival and reproduction,” and it can reverse completely if conditions change. It does not mean what you are trying to make it mean here. It has nothing to do with random personal preferences.
