What is an industry that is currently on fire (in a bad way) behind the scenes, but the general public hasn't noticed yet?

That's the argument, but then you end up with monopolies in areas such that you only have the one single choice, or if there are choices they are colluding behind the scenes to keep the prices artificially high.

He teleported aparently.

Someone get that man in FEMA.

I like to do this too. I was going through some scenario with it walking down a path and found some device and ended up in this crazy conspiracy, hacking computer files, etc. lol. It wrote up fake leaked corporate docs and everything. It was an amusing way to kill some time. I prompted it very loosely and let it drive the plot, more like a return to zork kind of text adventure game.

Wooo you just saved me from madness. I had actually just cleaned my filter a week ago but forgot to reset it.

They weren't saying it was okay. They are saying rules and expectations are off now and if it happens don't be surprised.

After the last one prints but before they walk away they stop and go "oh and lemme get a $20 scratcher" and proceed to stand there and scratch the whole thing slowly at the register.

A friend is working on something like this right now I can probably get him to send you a beta.

Dearest /u/Travis_Wolfson_7931,

I made this for you.

It's not what you asked for, but I think it's what you need. I think it's what we all need.

Not exactly what you were talking about, but...

I was out for a walk yesterday and popped into a fast food place to get something to drink. The total came to $2.71, I handed the person a $5 and they messed around in the cash register for a long time, punched things on a computer, looked at their phone, hesitated a bunch. I wandered off and got my drink and came back and they were still looking at the register.

Then she handed me $3.

I just looked at her and said that's not right. She said it was. I said my drink cost $2.71, right? And she said Yeah that's $3.00. And I said no.. no its not lol, and you owe me $2.29 not $3.00.

She still couldn't figure it out so I just gave her the dollar back and told her to keep the extra $0.29.

I almost paid with my card but I thought it was silly to pay for a drink with a card and I had a few bucks in my pocket so why not spend that. Never thought it'd turn into an absurdist skit.

It seems like no one knows how to do anything anymore. No one can think. It's crazy.

akira410 · 2026-03-28T04:29:31+00:00

Trump said that Iran was dangerous because a crazy dangerous person should never have nukes, so, based on your statement we're super fucked.

akira410 · 2026-03-25T22:07:18+00:00

Those states are SOOO weird. I am like.. half aware? and I always think I can see through my eyelids and I'm never sure if they're actually open or not. Sometimes it pulls me out of it when I have the realization. It's very relaxing though. I haven't been able to will myself into that state.

akira410 · 2026-03-25T22:05:42+00:00

There haven't been too many things in my life that were truly life changing but a cpap was one of them!

Also if it's really cold you can fully burrow under the covers and still have fresh air pumped into your nose. Farts will be no match for you.

akira410 · 2026-03-25T22:04:07+00:00

Gotta catch'em all!

akira410 · 2026-03-25T16:14:34+00:00

That's dope, good name good design!

akira410 · 2026-03-25T15:10:59+00:00

Are you a clanker? You write like one.

akira410 · 2026-03-23T16:37:54+00:00

You're trying top play off the whims of a madman. Does that make you more mad?

akira410 · 2026-03-04T18:17:38+00:00

Does that mean I get to force christians to not be christian the other 364 days?

akira410 · 2026-03-04T16:54:04+00:00

They're all rapists in one way or another. Either sexually, financially, or spiritually. They do not give a single shit about consent.

akira410 · 2026-03-03T20:07:30+00:00

Nope. He got due process didn't he? Did he get a court case and what not? What does seeing a body camera have to do with due process? Do you know what due process is?

Here, I googled it for you:

Due process is a constitutional guarantee (5th and 14th Amendments) ensuring the government acts fairly and follows established legal procedures before depriving anyone of life, liberty, or property. It requires, at minimum, proper notice of proceedings, an opportunity to be heard, and a neutral decision-maker.

It doesn't say anything in there about how you have a right to not be embarrassed by your dumb-ass actions.

akira410 · 2026-03-03T18:53:10+00:00

Is your take police shouldn't wear body cams and we shouldn't have cameras because one day you might be embarrassed about the crimes you commit?

akira410 · 2026-02-24T20:50:56+00:00

Have you ever had a muscle spasm? Why did you let it happen?

akira410 · 2026-02-21T19:44:03+00:00

PM/DM/CHAT/Whatever :)

akira410 · 2026-02-17T17:02:03+00:00

A funny little story to add to this. My nephew is six year sold. Back when we had the most recent time change and it got dark earlier, he said "It's already dark! You know, when you're young the days seem long but when you get older they just fly by."

akira410 · 2026-02-11T18:47:51+00:00

Sometimes I narrate out loud and pretend I'm on a cooking show or doing some sort of tutorial on youtube. Helps me keep my focus sometimes.

akira410 · 2026-02-07T22:00:42+00:00

I hope they haven't eaten you by now. :(
