  • When they released the M5 MacBook Pro, it was the same week that they introduced the Neo. I expected the MBP price to go up and I’d been planning to buy a new computer this year, so I was mad at Sam Altman for fucking the supply chain. But the Neo happened the same week and they obviously had a price-point planned. They couldn’t raise prices on any of them or the Neo’s marketing splash would be sullied by price increases. I couldn’t believe my luck.

    I got my new MBP at last year’s pricing because I knew it wouldn’t last. Lucky me.

    Yes! Just fucking go! I’m trying to get somewhere. And if you’re one of the sibling comments talking about public safety, we can be safe and still make the light without speeding up. That’s why we have yellow so people don’t have to brake hard.

    A surprising number of people here don’t seem to understand that you can coast without being a dick. No one said to press the gas peddle. They said you might not need to brake.

    My favorite response to scammers and people ringing doorbells selling religion (scam).

    The only time I’ve spoke with one of these (because who answers a phone anymore), was about a decade ago. Told me my insurance was expiring on my car. I started to grab my card to read the numbers and renew. This stuff wasn’t widespread and well known at the time.

    I had a moment of clarity and asked, “what kind of car do I have?” Line went dead. I got pretty lucky as this was long before the internet had a bajillion reports of exactly this.

    I’ll prolly fall for something eventually. On a long enough timeline…
