if they want a document printed they just go out to some print shop.

In fairness, it can be expensive to stock the holy water necessary to fend off the demons that inhabit all printers.

I text my friends. I assume that everyone else just thinks I died.

The move between seeing “your brother in law took the kids to the zoo” to “your brother in law liked this trash article” was such a jarring transition.

It was awful.

"Oh, look. He's a little bit racist. Now I get to know that. Thanks Facebook."

Exactly! If I'm not clutching the mute button for dear life, an I really having a relaxing movie night?

Yes. It's been a few years since I countered a video game that didn't have separate volume sliders for dialog, for music, and for all others sounds.

I'll wait and see if they can add some AI to it. But if they can, I'll invest my entire life savings.

I see you subscribe to the Wolfwood school of pacifism: "I didn't kill anyone!"

“If Aramark can afford to pay you $18.7 million in compensation and provide nearly $100 million in dividends for your wealthy shareholders,” Sanders wrote to Zillmer, “it can afford to pay all of your workers a living wage and not threaten to take away their jobs and their income with faceless Mashgin touchscreen computers.”

My partner and I used to use location sharing pretty much 100% of the time. We just felt better knowing we could find each other.

But today, we do not, because the trust is shattered.

Google just cannot be trusted with our locations.

We need to get scientific about this.

This feels like the part where Doctor Who retreats into short Flash animations on obscure BBC websites.

But I'm happy to see more from Jo Martin, in any case.

Oh hey, those are forks. Thanks.

"Hospitality/ Nevada"

I see we're still playing along with that euphemism. Haha.

Yes. I'm not sure what else has gone on, but NAFTA and the US China Relations Act sweaping all of the manufacturing out of the country could account for the whole change between the two maps.

He made Colbert disappear.

Heh. Anything to get them to spend their energy, money and influence.

I imagine that the shift to Podcasts will decisively silence Colbert to an equal extent as it did Conan.
