Someone else recently explained it best: It's elderly abuse.

The entourage encircling these elderly congressional leaders are profiting greatly. As soon as these senators retire, these leeches lose nearly everything.

It's a Weekend At Bernie's movie plot, but with extra steps.

That's what we need to do more often - mock these chuckfucks. Don't get angry/irritated because that's what they want, just point and laugh at them.

Oh I'm not disagreeing with you that it's a bullshit reason - but I can bet that some penny pincher accountant working at McDonalds proved the company could save $X million (single digit lol) if they did this change. Never forget how a dude working for American Airlines in the 1980's figured out that removing one olive from each salad in first class would save over $40k per year.

The more tactile, the better I say. The clickity clack is just an added bonus.

Friend of mine lives within walking distance of the gas station where he was just spotted. She's on lockdown, helicopters flying overhead, schools are closed for the day, etc

Dang, that stinks - I actually enjoy the steering mechanics in this game. It's the only mobile game I have played in many many years because it's easy to play a race or two and put the game away.

Cool - forcing ads into the start menu, forcing edge on users. Guess like Win10 is where I leave windows forever.

I downloaded Mandrake Linux back in 1992. I've always fiddled with linux over the years but could never fulfill all my needs. But things have changed recently. I've started using ChatGPT to help me when I hit roadblocks with Linux, and it's REALLY helped work around the various barriers that have kept me from fully adopting linux. Honestly, I am looking forward to switching entirely over to Linux for my business - I'm tired of Windows. And I've been here since Win3.1!!

Someone is totally going to turn this into a reprap 3D printer, and I'm absolutely here for it. I can't wait to toss on a 1mm nozzle and start printing some massive 3D printed bog planters for my savage garden hahaha.

My partner speaks a native language which is extremely rare - only a few million people worldwide speak the language. So uncommon that it's hard to find software to teach me the language. A real-life babble-fish would make life a million times easier when visiting her family who doesn't speak English (I assume, since I know that AI including Chat is capable of translating to and from the language fairly well with good grammar, but I doubt that it would be able to easily synthesize speech patterns for a rare language compared to converting their language to English. But I could be wrong lol.
