I was on a packed commuter train once and in the silence this conversation happened

Seated guy (loudly): Are you pregnant?

Standing woman: Sorry?

Sg: I said are you pregnant?

Sw: No

Sg: Oh okay

The second hand cringey embarrassment of that interaction has stayed with me for about 25 years

Socialised private transport? Call it a car club and it's private enterprise and therefore okay, like Zipcar here in the UK!

At this point why even have your own car? A pool of cars that can come and pick you up when you need it would be more efficient and allow the cost to be shared widely across a group

Is this the plot of Snow Crash?

I've been here since the API changes at Reddit and the sub blackouts that followed, and I think it's becoming more interesting all the time. Back in the early days there was no point in refreshing the /all feed more than once every 4 hours as it just wouldn't have changed, now it's much more than that. The number of posts with actual discussions are increasing, and other than a few blocked users, communities and one instance, I like the people I'm sharing space with.

I thought Killgrave was extra disturbing because you know that's exactly how someone with that power would become.

I see a lot of duck duck go responses in this thread, my understanding was that ddg is just front ending bing search, it's not a native search itself. Is that right? Is the same true of any of the other ones mentioned here?

Silk road, I think

I thought that. Famous people diagnosed with ADHD might be better wording.

When's the Stonehenge orgy? Asking for a friend.

So, you're saying vote lib dem?
