Hey, y’all! Just another random, loudmouthed, opinionated, Southern-fried nerdy American living abroad.

They can do something. They choose not to.

Stopthatgirl7@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Why I regret using 23andMe: I gave up my DNA just to find out I’m British | Technology | The GuardianEnglish28·8 months agoI’ve got to admit, I’ve wanted to do one of those tests just because my family is such a mix of “lol we don’t know.” Like, no really, what IS my maternal grandma? She does not look like the rest of her family and had a different family name from her siblings. And ok really, where DID my paternal great-grandmother who lied about her race so she could marry my great-grandfather back when “miscegenation” was illegal, come from? And WAS that great-grandpa biracial himself?
There’s a reason I call myself an ethnic Rorschach test, and I’d love to know why it is I am. But the rest of my family is against the idea of finding out because “it doesn’t matter” plus who knows how just data might be used one day.

As in, it doesn’t respond the right way to mentions of suicide and tries to convince the person using it that it’s a real person.

And:
According to Straight, the issue was caused by a piece of wiring that had come loose from the battery that powered a wristwatch used to control the exoskeleton. This would cost peanuts for Lifeward to fix up, but it refused to service anything more than five years old, Straight said.
“I find it very hard to believe after paying nearly $100,000 for the machine and training that a $20 battery for the watch is the reason I can’t walk anymore?” he wrote on Facebook.
This is all over a battery in a watch.

-No background checks

-K-12 teachers are allowed to carry
-No red flag laws
-No bans on high capacity magazines
-No secured gun storage required
-Open carry / no concealed carry permit required
-No ghost gun regulations
-People with assault or violent misdemeanors can carry guns

Stopthatgirl7@lemmy.worldOPto News@lemmy.world•Elon Musk’s Twitter Takeover Is Now the Worst Buyout for Banks Since the Financial Crisis11·11 months agoIf you think for one minute I like Elon Musk, I invite you to check out all the negative articles, including this one, that I’ve posted about that piece of shit. I’d love for him to lose every red cent he’s got. I’ve hated him since before it was cool.
That “your body my choice” was all just fun and games to him when it was scaring women. Not so funny now, huh, Nick.
