Mildly Infuriating

Duckduckgo search query, if Violentmonkey (userscript addon) supports typescript. It shows results for "types" instead. Yes, "add quotes". But, damn.

Across the street from me is a gym with rooftop parking. Most of the time it has been empty but recently a bunch of Tesla's have been parked up there, which I assume are storage for the Tesla dealership down the street. Last night a bunch of them started blinking their yellow lights, sometimes in sync. More interesting / creepy than infuriating for me honestly since I can just close my curtains but it's probably annoying someone.

Kinda creepy though since it seems like they're, or someone controlling them, is plotting something.

Short explanation

So this is Queens, New York City

In this borough, there is a park called Forest Park next to a neighborhood called Richmond Hill

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest_Park_(Queens)

Last year, angry drivers signed a petition urging the city to allow them to drive through Forest Park.

Eric Adams, the Mayor, accepted their request:

That made some Richmond Hill residents angry.

So local families started demonstrating next to the park. They want the new mayor - Zohran Mamdani - to ban cars from Forest park.

Joann Ariola is a Republican member of New York City council

She personally wrote a letter to Mayor Eric Adams begging him to allow cars to go through Forest Park:

During the demonstration, she crossed the park in an SUV and showed up to mock demonstrators.

This is some serious bullshit

fuck you duo

Edit: I thought it would be more obvious. I'm editing this so an apparent ad won't appear in anyone else's feed but for posterity here is my original link:

I am wearing a 34W part of pants. However its stretchy. I want no stretch so I go to the site calculator to figure out what size I am in their idiotic description of what I might be only to be presented with an option to pic the size I want. I'm I stupid? I measure 40.5 to 42.5 on my waist depending on where I measure. So that's 34? Sonobabich! why did the teacher give me so many wrong marks on my math tests then? 30? you mean 45! correct! 76? ahhh 85.1234233432! yes! correct again!

The other night I was up around midnight and spotted a cat frantically looking in one of my windows. The cat seemed well fed and groomed, so it looked like it belonged to someone. However being that it was so late at night and very cold out I figured it might be lost. I've seen more than one missing cat poster lately (none matching this cat), so with that in mind I opened my phone and took a few pics. When I moved towards the window the cat ran off into the dark.

I opened up a neighborhood app which I know is pretty active and posted the photo along with specifying the date, time, and approximate location the photo was taken, and writing that if someone recognized it as their cat they could contact me further. I figured it was about all I could do.

Since then I've gotten over a dozen replies on the post. Multiple useless "Oh cute cat" and "Ohh poor baby" comments. Some comments telling me to catch it despite me not having seen it again or having any traps. Posts telling me to post it on facebook (I don't have facebook, so no not doing that). Not a single reply recognizing the cat, which was the sole reason for posting it.

Edit: I am referring to the UI change. They worsened the UX in favor of their AI ads. I’m not a fan of their new AI agent stuff, but this isn’t what I was criticizing here.

Who came up with this stupid idea?! Just seize the car.

Recently digitalized bunch of DVDs and BluRays. This one is a hell of a CD holder. Feels like trying to play tug of war with a dog.

Uninstalled within seconds. I'm trialling Hyperion launcher now, which seems pretty crisp.
