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.

Was this written by the cheapest, worst AI?

I mean, I’m sold!

Very classy, victim-blaming people that need to eat and pay rent.

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

Because he’s literally useless?

That’s really, really great!

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

I’ve heard it will hop open networks to try to update. Doesn’t sound that farfetched in 2024. If you’re really concerned, you could disable the wireless adapter…

🤷‍♂️ They should have let me pet Melon…

And schematics!

“Hello! Why are you shitty and want your cat to destroy the local bird population and then (statistically) have their life cut short? Much love, Your Neighbor”

EDIT: Downvote all you want but these facts are true:

1. Cats decimate bird populations when they are loose.
2. Indoor cats live longer, healthier lives.

If you love your pets (obviously not talking about barn cats that technically have a job, but housecats), you’ll do what’s best for them.

Now. Wiggle your big toe.

You’ve never just taken a neat chomp out of a friendly cat’s ear?

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