Mmm, maybe. Affects also works as it means to influence. It’s subtle and context matters, but if AI is still changing things with their job then affects is the verb you want. If AI has changed their job and nothing further is happening then effect is the noun you want.

Probably something from The Flintstones.

Greta Thunberg is already here though.

Holy fucking shit, I totally forgot about this!

I award you, stranger! 🏅

In the original Warcraft games (not World Of Warcraft), repeatedly clicking units would initiate irritation voice lines.

Humans would say something like, “why do you keep touching me?”

An elf said something like, “you never touch other elves like that!”

Totally! I didn’t downvote you btw. No idea what that is about.

Ah. Yes, I get it. I was thinking you were serious that they weren’t Android. 😆

Ooh. Ok, so can you elaborate on this?

when it launched

Yes. That right there. I switched from Google Maps to Apple Maps and I like it much better. Hell, even the GPS doesn’t play catch up nearly like what Google Maps does. Speed limits are posted for like every street so I know it before I see a sign. It’s more aesthetically pleasing to me than Google Maps as well.

I had the OG Droid, did all the rooting and ROMing on my phones, and went up to the Samsung S8 until I switched. I don’t miss Android, but I’m not a power user either.

Yeah, I have an iPhone 15 Pro and Safari is freezing or just not even allowing me to close windows until I restart the app sometimes. That or websites won’t load and then I restart the app and try again and they load fine.

I haven’t tried turning it off yet, but my suspicion is the Liquid Glass and all the stuff it needs to do is taking priority.

The answer you’re looking for is, “Of course it does!”

Switch a while ago from Google Maps. It’s pretty damn great.

Or the side quest of the rocket that didn’t blow up and you do all of this grabbing parts, set up, fight Order forces and you finally get to launch the missile which developed a bond with humans but didn’t want to be a dud. They end up being fireworks instead of an actual missile.

Haha. I know. 😁

I was quoting Office Space.

PC Load Letter?! The fuck does that mean?

I honestly don’t understand how to “do” crypto. Here’s my brain’s interpretation and questions. You will probably see why I, and many others, don’t use it or dabble in it:

It’s got to be mined to obtain (power hog and time)

You can buy it but it is traded like stock which may inflate it to be more expensive to obtain

Who really owns or has responsibility over what you purchase when it comes to the cryptocurrency?

Where is it “stored” (locally, on a cloud somewhere)?

What coin type do you choose and how do you know it’s safe?

Do you just make your own coin and use a program that does everything needed to package it as “money”?

How does someone verify that you actually have the money behind the coin(s)?

I’ve got a bad feeling about this…

I canceled my stuff over this and I don’t even watch him. I let them know it was because they are free speech abolitionists and capitulating to Trump. I’m also a huge Star Wars and Marvel fan, so this was a big deal to me to cancel.

GOP projecting again. Sounds like the party has a porn addiction!
