Thank you. I’m not actually that old-school, but back in the day, the only directions that mattered were the changes. “Turn right on the dirt road, and follow it for about 35 miles. Turn right at the crazy magenta and black diner…”

I’m sorry, I wasn’t paying attention. What were you saying?

That’s… some different issues. I think your phone/vehicle/GPS might actually be haunted. Do you know of any exorcists?

Woah, that’s crazy. I was specifically thinking of I-25! Though it does it with other roads and highways as well…

Yes, it is. I use it every day to visit multiple locations. My personal pet peeve is when it displays “In 1.5 miles, continue straight”. On a road where there’s no changes in that distance. That’s not part of the directions, that’s just continuing. Not only is it unhelpful because I can’t not do this “step”, but I can’t see the next, actual step, which could be “In 200 ft, turn left” and won’t know which lane to be in.

I can’t prove it, but I think at some point they applied an automatic algorithm that added intermediate steps to all their routing (for when a road curves a certain way, etc), but it was too aggressive and not human-reviewed.

I mean, I’m sold!

Who wants to bail out every private for-profit corporation that we allowed to get so big it threatens our economy and national security?

They are usually very aligned with management, and try to obscure that…

That’s really, really great!

😲 I never thought of using it this “whey”! Protein shakes don’t always mix easily…

Yes, we do.

…and The Internet is a disgusting, filthy slut.

And schematics!

Thank you for all the facts and sources. Much more helpful than just saying “do your own research!”

… What?

st*rs in w*rds. Dr*ves me n*ts.

If you were confused like me…

I just meant it would be fair for Parton to defend herself and family/friends, yet still remain neutral/apolitical. Like Taylor Swift, she didn’t start attacking and had every right to shut down anyone who does…

And yeah, the opposite of what Vance supports is a pretty good moral barometer. Kind of like the “Inverse Jim Kramer” investment strategy that beat out all his recommendations (I think?)…

Huh. Interesting. And yeah, totally agree about RDJ! Damn, I knew I was forgetting one of the best examples of casting so good they sort of “retro-canonically” re-cast the character in other media…

I think we’re all asking the same thing: “Where did their delicious liquefied organs drain to?”

Because… Vance literally attacked her and people she grew up with?
