Reference on that audit?

Why are we always talking only about the bad effects of slavery when there were so many good?

/s if not obvious.

Imagine trying to get a shopping cart through that. I imagine that's probably a Bass Pro Shops parking lot.

Some evil part of me would be tempted to take some chain and knit those trailer hitches together all down the line.

I have to concur. I used to work at a place where some portion of employees were NRA style gun owners. Couldn't help noticing that the people always going on about guns were psychopaths that least should've been allowed near anything dangerous.

Well, yeah, but going 100.1% over capacity can be very inconvenient, particularly if you are far from service. So "on average" doesn't consider that some numbers are worse than others.

Or just hang around till the offering plate comes by and then help yourself to money to rebuy books.

I expect that in a decade all museums should have a several hour tour through exhibitd on Trump's presence in the Epstein files

~~Trump is~~ should be Republicans are. GOP run house is totally reaponsible for these expenditures. Don't let them try to put it all on Trump after he's finally gone.

Oversharing not appreciated, but opinions on Trump probed. Gonna be some conflict there.

AI could provide some minor deshitification of the internet by answering obvious questions implied by clickbaity titles. In other words, comb the link and pop up, in simplest terms, what a title baits you with.

For instance, a browser plugin that could pop up a balloon showing "It's Portland, Oregon" when you hover your mouse over "One US city likes its food carts more than any other". Or "Tumbling Dice" when you hover over "The Stones' song that Mick Jagger hates to sing". Even give "Haggle over the price and options" on the classic clickbait "Car dealers don't want you to know this one trick!". All without you having to sift through pages of crap filler text (likely AI generated) and included ads to satisfy trivial curiousity you might be baited by.

I wouldn't even mind too much if the service collected and sold the fact that I did (or didn't) get curious about the related topics. It would still be fewer ads in the face overall. So maybe monetizing like that could motivate someone to develop a service?

Or would that just make the net worse?
