What Irked You Today?

[Ace-Garageguy]

I see a lot more people in the YT comments praising AI slop "documentaries" full of misrepresentations, inaccuracies, distortions, and outright lies (plus mismatched photos that have nothing to do with the narration) than I see people calling them out for being useless gibberish.

This is why a dumbed-down society that's lacking vast amounts of what used to be considered "general knowledge" or "common knowledge", and who have become complacent about accepting whatever garbage Google vomits up first, with rarely any fact-checking or critical-thinking skills applied, will be easily led to places they probably don't really want to go...if only they stopped to think about it.

Sometimes I just have to wonder if that's been the plan all along...

Scraping off my car after school and my ice scraper broke before I was done. Now I need to get a new one and I had to wait for my defrosters to finish the job.

Extra special Chinese plastic that gets so brittle when it's cold...

I have some US-made scrapers that are decades old, heavy material correctly speced for the job, still going strong.

The thing is that one has lasted my family for a long time. It was also some pretty heavy duty stuff, thats why it really frustrated me.
