  • Phonebooks
  • How do you know these in particular were named for that reason and not just because the founders liked the name for any other reason?

  • Phonebooks
  • Yep, which allowed us to make great prank calls because people wouldn't expect us to be calling them since they hadn't given us their phone number. If someone had a popular name, like Miguel Rodriguez in Miami, you might have to make a few attempts to get the right one though.

    Fun fact: Phone books are the reason there are some businesses called AAA. Businesses, such as locksmiths, plumbers, and other rarely used services, would name themselves AAA because it would make their listing first in the type/subject by alphabetical order.

  • Fun fact: You could dial without even using the rotary. In a morse-code-like fashion, quickly click the hang-up knob the number you want with a pause in-between numbers. So if you were calling 558-9151 (remember 7 digit numbers‽), you'd do (c = click):

    c-c-c-c-c

    c-c-c-c-c

  • That's surprising! I never expected the bank to be that thorough. I'm happy they're that diligent with security. How did you feel in the moment and afterward?

    I think I go overboard with trying to be friendly or human-like when on the phone and trying to seem normal. If it were up to me, it would be straight business, and the sign off would be something like, "Anything else? No. Okay, bye." I think I don't have this problem with other NDs though, just the normies or especially in business situations. But who knows what the other person is experiencing sometimes lol

  • Alright crapshooters, let's hear your predictions on Sean "Diddy" Combs. What are his survival chances (see inside)?

    What are the chances that he stays alive through the following milestones:

    1. Testify on tape
    2. First day of trial
    3. Verdict
    4. Sentencing
    5. Sept 16, 2025 (1-year since arrest)
    6. Sept 16, 2029 (5-year mark)

    yeah, but what if Diddy was in on some international shit? he had tapes on all sorts of people. those tapes could be used as blackmail by foreign powers to manipulate politicians. check this 7:16 min interview of Gene Deal out.

    but you're right. they're completely separate issues.

  • Alien 1: Why are there more hungry humans here points at Central America and more obese people here points at Texas? Is there a distribution obstacle?

    Alien 2: Ah, good observation. No, they can get food anywhere very easily. There's even an outpost on that ice part where they can't even grow food. But, the humans drew a line here points at Mexico-USA border

    Alien 1: Why don't they just erase the line?

    Alien 2: Because the people on the northside have better weapons and will kill any humans that try to move the line.

    Alien 1: But they don't need that much food. It's actually hurting them. Are they willing to kill other humans just to hurt themselves with abundance?

    Alien 2: Basically, yeah.

    Alien 1: Wow. Someone needs to tell them about nuclear power so they could all have more than enough then.

    Alien 2: Yeah, soooo, about that. They did figure it out, but made weapons out of it instead.

    Alien 1: WTF. Won't they kill themselves? Someone needs to tell them!

    Alien 2: They already know! They even made a clock about it so that everyone can prepare for the end of their species when the time is near lol

    I don't know where I was going with this, but I guess I had to get it out. 🤷‍♂️

  • yooooo, he gave Sean "Diddy" Combs the key to NYC less than a year ago. Diddy got arrested by the Feds earlier this month and denied bail twice. I wonder if they are connected somehow.

    I've always wanted to make a meal entirely from scratch in memory of our ancestors. That means either growing or catching it with tools that I made myself. I'd have to prepare and cook it from scratch too Everything as if I was living 50k years ago. Just haven't found a tribe to do it with yet.

  • That governordefascist is scary af. The things he has done as governor is insane. I live in Florida and can't stand the guy, but I hadn't realized how much he has done and tried to do. If you're interested, give it a look. Dude really is extreme.

    Is there a difference in meaning between the words *people* and *persons*?

    I often use the word people to mean multiple persons. However, I've noticed that sometimes people will laugh/smirk when I use it. For example, one time I was talking about how my sister and her family/household travel often, saying, "Those people travel a lot," and the person repeated those people and gave a slight laugh. I'm wondering if I may be giving some sort of unintentional implied message when I use that word.

    Does the word people mean anything other than multiple persons, such as a group of persons united by a common identity (family, experience, nationality, ethnicity, etc.)?

    As a non-techie, where/how can I find out if software is safe?

    I'm a fan of FOSS and reasonable privacy with data. I also often look for and install software on my computers for random tasks as they come up. Today, when I was looking to install an extension to Firefox called Wikipedia-EN that helps me search Wikipedia by highlighting a word, the Mozilla page for the extension states:

    > This add-on is not actively monitored for security by Mozilla. Make sure you trust it before installing.

    As someone that is not educated in programming or perpetually current on tech news, what can I do to assess the safety of this and other software? Is there a site that transparently evaluates software and publishes its findings?

    What's a recent personal accomplishment of yours that you are proud of and why are you proud of it?

    It is a solution

    Image: Lisa Simpson giving a presentation with a determined disposition.

    Caption on the screen: The "double-empathy problem" is misnamed because it is not a problem. It is a theory that explains why we observe limited empathy between autistic and non-autistic individuals. Not only is it not a problem, it is a solution because it helps us understand why things are the way they are. Stop calling it a problem. It is now the "interneurotype empathy divide"...or something. Idk, but it is not a problem.
