  • Psh, as a leftist I'll have you know we've done a lot more than complain. We went to a few protests, wrote a couple emails, and boycott stores we hardly shopped at in the first place.

  • There is a male loneliness problem. The meme is making fun of the toxic dickheads that are part of the problem and lack the self awareness to realize it.

    "Why don't the people I treat like shit like me?!"

  • I contacted their customer support and had them delete my account. I also sent them an email as to why, and stated I'd be telling everyone I know not to shop at REI.

    Fuck them.

  • There will still be elections -- they just won't be fair and legitimate elections.

    Pritzker signs trade MOU agreement between Illinois and Mexico

    MEXICO CITY (WCIA) — Governor JB Pritzker signed a memorandum of understanding between Mexico and Illinois on Monday during a trade mission.

    Pritzker signed the Addendum to the Illinois-Mexico Sister-State Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) alongside Mexico Governor Delfina Gómez Álvarez. The agreement signed by Pritzker affirms commitment to continued trade and manufacturing collaborations with a focus on biotechnology and water resources. Illinois, other states sue HHS, RFK Jr. over public grant cuts

    The MOU comes at the start of a delegation trip from Illinois to Mexico City with the purpose of deepening economic cooperation and opportunities between Illinois and Mexico. This specific agreement emphasizes the strong ties with a specific focus on bilateral trade in industries including manufacturing, agriculture and finance, according to a media release from Pritzker’s office.

    “Mexico has been an essential partner to the state of Illinois for decades, and I’m proud to stand alongsi

  • They make a lot more than car navigation systems. Their recreational gear and avionics are top of the line.

  • Pretty sure it's a joke/reminder about jury nullification. "Luigi Mangione obviously isn't guilty -- the guy they got on camera looks nothing like him."

  • I get the impression it disengages so that Tesla can legally say "self driving wasn't active when it crashed" to the media.

  • The cartoon wall is just an exagerated illustration of why a vision only system sucks compared to other systems.

    If you watch the rest of the video, you'd see Tesla's vision only system is inferior to cars using radar/lidar in other, more realistic situations like heavy rain and fog.

  • Arrogant, posturing douchebags that don't understand the technology they're involved in and are unwilling to learn. Any "work" that's done is by actual tech workers or tools creates by them.

    The tech bro is only in it for money and "prestige"

  • One day you'll wake up and realize people born on the year you graduated school can legally vote, drink, etc. A short time later those kids have kids of their own ... and you are ( or are old enough to be ) a grandparent.

    The worst part is you'll still mentally feel like you're not much older than your late 20s or 30s.

  • You can’t get a manual gearbox here any more.

    Huh, let's see why

    Another factor contributing to the discontinuation of manual transmissions is the increasing emphasis on safety features and the integration of advanced driver-assist technologies.

    Ew.

  • "prepper" vs "Prepper" with a capital "P".

    The first learns and practices actual useful skills -- gardening, food preservation, repairing their own things, etc. The later are dorks buying a ton of unnecessary shit shilled by right-wing influencers cosplaying as "entirely self-sufficient".

  • Buy why is it human? I'm just happy they fixed this oversight in the (vastly superior) 2001 remake with the Lincoln Memorial.

  • Technology has never been the problem: there's nothing wrong with genetic engineering, AI, etc. They can (and have) been used for good.

    The problem has always been the "greed is good" sociopaths using it for evil.

  • I had zero with uBlock -- do you have the plugin disabled for that site?

  • Noodles are composed mostly of starches and heat causes gelatinization: which gives noodles their texture, taste, and holds them together. It also kills off any pathogens, which is a good things since it's fairly common for raw flour to be contaminated with E. coli and Salmonella.

    Cold water causes them to revert back to wet flour.

  • Yeah! Like meme stocks or beanie babies.

    SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WTVO) — Illinois Gov. Pritzker and various members of the Illinois congressional delegation have sent a letter to the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to demand accountability for $1.88 billion in federal funding being withheld from the state.

    Last month, the White House said it would temporarily halt federal funding to ensure that the payments complied with President Donald Trump’s agenda.

    The administration rescinded a memo outlining its planned funding freeze after a federal judge issued a restraining order, blocking the federal spending pause. Since then, nearly two dozen states have filed lawsuits, arguing that the funding freeze violates their First Amendment rights.

    The Department of Justice (DOJ), however, said the case is moot because the memo was rescinded.

    The DOJ has also said the administration still plans to freeze some funds that target issues such as gender identity, foreign aid, and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiat

    CHICAGO (WLS) -- The Chicago Transit Authority is no longer using its main accounts the social media platform X.

    The agency confirmed to ABC7 Friday that two of their accounts are no longer active on the site formerly known as Twitter.

    The CTA released the following statement Friday:

    "After careful consideration, CTA has decided to suspend the use of its general information (@cta) and service alerts (@ctaAlerts) accounts on Twitter/X.com, as this social media platform no longer provides the value it once did for us to effectively reach and communicate with our riders.

    ‘Chicago rat hole’ mysteriously filled in, then restored by neighbors — ‘Chicago takes care of its own’

    Reports that the viral landmark had been filled with a plasterlike substance circulated on social media Friday morning, as well as stories of those working to return the creature’s imprint to its original glory. By Violet Miller

    A woman who didn’t want to be identified due to possible “ratribution” removes debris from the iconic Chicago rat hole in Roscoe Village Friday.

    About a week after going viral, the Chicago “rat hole” brought Chicagoans together once again, this time to restore it.

    Reports that the longtime neighborhood fixture and landmark in the 1900 block of West Roscoe Street had been filled, perhaps with a plasterlike substance, circulated on social media Friday morning, followed by stories of those working to bring the creature’s imprint back to its original glory.

    Residents of the building next to the rat hole — who asked not to be identified for fear of “ratribut
