Ah, are you smart enough to realize you just contradicted yourself? You actually sound stupid enough to have voted for the YOB.

YOB too shall pass?

The reactions make me believe I should have specified I was thinking about DOGE and USAID. I am not aware of electric cars having any relation to the #GazaGenecide4Golf fiasco...

But I admit I am sometimes prone to simpleminded solution approaches. For example, what if Poland announced that any Russian drone over Ukraine would be shot down if there was any possibility of that drone reaching Polish territory? I'm pert' shure the Ukrainians wouldn't object.

Comment Re:Legal/illegal bikes (Score 2) 136

Don't see too many cars on walking paths and sidewalks. The number of e-bikes on walking paths and sidewalks has skyrocketed. It's almost as if someone decided being a pedestrian is a sinful activity, and that every walkway must now be infested with morons on wheels.

Then let me get started on mobility scooters.

I'd just like them banned from walking paths. At least once a day I'm getting some crazy asshole ringing his bell as he comes flying up behind me. I'm not a fan of any kind of bike on walking paths, but at least the people on regular bikes have more control. The worst are probably older riders who often seem like they're barely in control. And the three wheeled ones take up outrageous amounts of space on smaller paths, regularly forcing other users on some of the narrower paths I frequent to get to the side of the road.

It's hard to imagine, short of motor vehicles, anything more hazardous to a pedestrian than some stupid prick on an e-bike.

My reaction whenever I see a Tesla is that I feel like sticking a little note under the windshield wiper. Something like:

"Are you pro-life? Owning this car makes me think you support starving innocent children to death. Do you even know how many kids have died? Or care?"

Or some kind of WWJD joke? What would Jesus drive? Probably not a Tesla.

My basic premise is that killing a human being is insane. Even in cases where the victim has a death wish.

And yet too many people rationalize killing. Even in extremely cold blood like this case. Real self-defense is quite rare, but claims of various forms of extended self-defense are far too abundant. Especially on today's Web.

Not much potential for Funny in this story, eh?

Only joke on the rich target? I was at least expecting some kind of obligatory joke about getting the entire shaft from the "just the tip" promise...

But I can't sustain the pretense of humor. I just don't have the right angle to see the humor in shooting themselves in the foot or in the wallet or wherever. Liars rulz stopped being funny a while back.

Is this joke funny yet?

Comment I'm mostly here for the Funny (Score 1) 72

And this juicy target didn't get any Funny? As of now that's out of 56 comments.

Not even some sort of obligatory joke about "That AI fad sure died fast. Let me ask my AI what went wrong?"

Do I need to clarify the "here" reference? As in Slashdot space, wherever that is? Virtual reference problem? Or more of a null pointer problem? However the real problem is with Slashdot time. Slashdot has become sort of like a continuous toilet that gets completely flushed each day? However I'm basically on a one visit per day schedule, so I never see see the same river twice? And the lag time on the sparse and flaky moderation ain't helping.
