The Larry Ellison who appears in 23 documents from the Epstein case files, including court filings and DOJ releases, and is listed in Epstein’s 1997 black book with three phone numbers. No allegations of wrongdoing have been made against him in connection with Epstein.

He’s the one who knows what’s best.

They are literally walling off all this information that used to be easy to access and for the public. It’s our data that we the people decide to share with the world and these rent seeing corporations are hiding it away so they can start charging us “tokens” to access our own public information.

Yeah, Pizza Hut used to be the gold standard for Pizza. Sometimes we couldn’t afford it and we’d have to get another brand, but we’d pine for the pizza hut we wished we had.

I had friends whose parents would always order a Pizza Hut pizza every single Friday. Never missed a Friday.

It was so fun to go to the restaurant too. It smelled so friggin’ good in there and those pan pizzas we’re just absolutely perfect fresh served to your table. I think they used to put butter on the crust. It was all dark in there and they had those red candles; almost seemed like a sacred place. lol

Now they’re so terrible. All the chain Pizza places have weird cheese that tastes like shit and all the toppings seem like they’re just fake, like you’re eating plastic or something. Gross.

I’ve never heard of that or had that, but it sounds absolutely perfect to me. Maybe there are dozens of us.

Growing up, things were pretty shitty but you thought things were going to get better. You had hope. Then when it didn’t get better, that’s when you look back and you’re like, well, it was bad, but now it’s so much worse. So it was definitely the best compared to what came later.

Try low dose children’s gummies; they don’t make you drowsy the next day.

I want to agree with you, but AI is just another psychopath in a world where we don’t need any more psychopaths.

I see what you’re doing there, but the problem is that the government in general, and the IRS specifically, if a mistake is made, you’re paying it with interest.

What I’d like to see happen is the AI going rogue and wiping all the data, including all the backup files.

And the US is about to, if they haven’t already, put AI in charge of the Internal Revenue Service.

That should be fun.

According to Ally Sheedy’s character in the Breakfast Club, it’s when your heart dies.

Onions don’t bother me either. I used to volunteer to cut them doing prep work so my co-workers didn’t have to cry. I think we’re just lucky. I guess it’s our lame superpower.

It’s almost like they need something mobile they can add weaponry to that could chase and hunt down security threats…

What’s your opinion on duckduckgo on a phone?

My computer is covered, but which app is safe to block ads on my phone?

On my phone it’s not just the ads that aggravate but also the autoplay videos–the ones that follow you as you scroll down. I can’t prevent them from autoplaying.

I second most of these, especially The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

I would add most Kubrick films including Dr. Strangelove and 2001.

Also, Being John Malkovich, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Dawn of the Dead remake 2004

The most recent film I can’t stop watching is Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Theives.

Ay, oh, way to go Ohio

I sideload my own books and then turn off the internet on the Kindle. Other than knowing what books I have, are they still able to monitor all those other things?

I ask because I don’t completely understand some of this internet networking stuff. The other day I turned off my router while I was watching a video on YouTube and the video kept playing with no interruption or lag while I thought I had turned off the wifi in my house. I guess we can’t turn it off anymore? Or was it able to keep playing because it was cached?

It’s not just facial recognition anymore, though, they’re looking at all kinds of other stuff, even how you walk.

Fast Car is one of those songs that always makes me cry.

I’ve been listening to Bob Marley & the Wailers:

Get up, stand up: stand up for your right

Get up, stand up: don’t give up the fight

In reality, it’s going to screw so much stuff up and do so many things you don’t want it to do, that you’re going end up spending a lot of time just correcting all the mistakes it makes.

And when you’re not fighting to stop it from doing more things you don’t want it to do, you’re going spend your time worrying about what it will do next that you’re going have to fix.

And unless you pay for the most expensive phone and the most expensive tier of service, they’ll probably dumb it down on purpose and your life is going be hard.
