Katie Porter’s Feelings

@richmondie @AllieJade1 Nah

@AllieJade1 Been around since the Ice Age. I wish ppl wd stop labelling everything the "Gen Z this" and the "Gen X that".

I've read about this Gen Z stare and up til now, I'd never encountered it. That was until today. I walked into a local take out shop. 2 cash registers, 2 people ready to take your order. The first girl was busy with customers, so I look at the girl at the 2nd cash. She just stares at me. Her face never moved, she didn't blink, she just stared at me like I was invisible. It was like she didn't know how to acknowledge or give basic social cues. I'm looking at her thinking, usually people behind the counter say hello first as a cue to advance to their wicket. She just stared at me! So I ask: Hi, do you want to take my order? Her: Sure. That's all she initially said. Honestly it was the oddest thing I've ever encountered, it was like she was on auto pilot. Once I started speaking to her, it was like her batteries kicked in and then she smiled became friendly. Has anyone else ever encountered that stare?

@hshLauraJ @WildZLoy Only two?

I have 2 questions… 🤔🤔

@FrenlyOfficer Pacifier. But “binky” has become popular now that pacifism is out of vogue.

What did/does your family call a fake nipple put in an infant’s mouth to shut them up? Mine always said “pacifier“

@TheCatholicEngr How so?

I figured out why the Artemis stream felt so different It's because for the first time in decades, we collectively witnessed something that was untouched by politics, celebrities and influencers

@TheRickWilson Boooooooriiiiing

When Orban, Putin, and Trump are all gone, the world will be a brighter, better, and safer place.

@eastbaycitizen And what did you report about that? What did your investigations show?

I’ve covered Eric Swawell since he was a member of the Dublin City Council. Shortly after being elected to Congress in 2013, his behavior towards women was known by all levels of our local government and the Alameda County Democratic Party.

@FeiyanXie It fears the board

头次见这种纸飞机，为啥一直要用一块板子挡着？

@_vmlops This is like project #3 in arduino beginner kits.

Someone built ultrasonic scanning on a tiny microcontroller and it’s seriously impressive Using Arduino, an ultrasonic sensor + a servo motor turns into a mini radar system: → scans surroundings in a sweep → detects objects in real time → measures distance with sound waves → builds a simple spatial map As the sensor rotates, it continuously emits ultrasonic pulses When those waves hit an object, they bounce back and the time delay is used to calculate distance That data is then plotted into a live radar-style visualization, just like what you’d see in real systems No expensive hardware No complex setup Just smart use of simple components. What makes it even cooler: → runs on a tiny microcontroller → low power, low cost → easy to build and customize → great intro to embedded systems + robotics This is the kind of project that shows: you don’t need massive compute to build something powerful Small device. Smart sensing. Real engineering

@BasedMikeLee Because racism is prejudice + power and this bald man has no power

How is this not racist?

@TimRunsHisMouth They don’t care about their health

Great… now there’s absolutely no reason for Mexicans to illegally immigrate to America.

@BladeoftheS I thought Mexicans were always “we’re America, the whole continent is America, jejeje” so why complain?

Mexico is suing Google for renaming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. Google has changed the name even though Donald Trump does not have the power to rename international or Mexican waters.

@gomappy3 lol loser

@WallStreetApes Drink water

Man is freaking out because he’s at the grocery store and he shows that all the items he normally buys now say they’re ineligible for EBT The grocery store has put up these new little signs by items saying they’re no longer eligible for Food Stamps “It’s happening. What am I gonna drink now? Not eligible. What is going on man, what we supposed to drink now? Not eligible. Not eligible” Life hack: If you have a job and use your debt card, it’s all eligible to be purchased

@ProfNoahGian The Sasquatch locus arises naturally within the Chupacabra algebra

Why is so much pop math writing like “the formula involves addition—an operation where the values of numbers are combined, as in 5+3=8—and an operation called semi Hodge-theoretic polydiaginonal neo-Riemannian integration. Surprisingly, the authors proved that this formula is quasi-invertible when the Sasquatch locus is sufficiently homogeneous.” Who is your intended audience?! So much of pop math writing assumes we don’t know the basics yet somehow care about the unintelligible minutiae of super advanced obscure topics…

@foxthatroxx @tszzl @elonmusk @CantEverDie Shut up stupid cunt

@tszzl @elonmusk @CantEverDie WTF??? Who are you calling a disgusting liar. And do you know this person Well enough personally to say that? That comment is pretty hostile. Maybe you need psychological help.

i will never forget how elon musk said absolutely nothing at all about the NASA artemis ii mission except one post making fun of that women who took the photo of the launch in the reflection of her glasses. he hates space

@growlerowl @aakashgupta All else isn’t equal, numbnuts

@perpsx @aakashgupta Hilarious cope. Nobody would choose a longer charging time all else being equal. And if it were Western brands people would be crowing all over about how superior their technology was.

The number that should terrify every Western automaker is 1,500 kW. BYD's Flash Charging pushes 1,500 kilowatts into a car battery. The fastest charger you can find in the US today maxes out at 350 kW. ChargePoint is bragging about rolling out 600 kW chargers sometime in 2026. BYD is already at 2.5x that. Deployed. 5,000 stations live. 20,000 planned by December. The car in this video, the Song Ultra, starts at $22,000. Five minutes of charging gets you 250 miles of range. The fastest-charging EV you can buy in America is the Lucid Gravity at 400 kW, and it starts at $80,000. So BYD is charging 4x faster at one-quarter the price. And Geely just beat them last week with a 4-minute charge. The Chinese automakers aren't competing with each other on range or styling anymore. They're in a charging speed war that Western companies haven't even entered. BMW's response was literally "pursuing quick charging forces other compromises." That's the "640K ought to be enough for anybody" of the EV era.

@PowerWordRush @KILLTOPARTY Why isn’t it the 1950s?

This isn't the 1950s. If you're dating you should be dating multiple people at the same time to see who is the best match. Then when one of the females reaches out to you about something more serious then you stop seeing other people. Oh yeah and as a man you NEVER ask the "what are we"

Is this normal?? LOL

@thewreathwright What levels

It seems straightforwardly correct that: - many of Elon Musk’s companies do and have done an enormous amount of good for humanity - Elon Musk is meaningfully responsible for those companies’ success - Elon Musk is a contemptible and morally bankrupt individual on many levels

@gregkellyusa I always like it when a leftist gets fucked over

I Never liked Eric Swalwell. “Fang Fang”-running for President when he was 19, to “moonlighting” as a model for the SEARS Catalogue-he’s just Awful. BUT when someone is ACCUSED by an ANONYMOUS Person the week before an election? That is NOT RIGHT. They say the “assault” happened in 2024? Two years ago? Why not GO TO THE COPS right after it happened? And dont give me that “I couldn’t. He’s too powerful” nonsense. They pulled this CRAP on Trump. IT was wrong then, It’s Wrong Now. Even when it involves the Silly Eric Swalwell. JUSTICE.

@DefiyantlyFree It is common sense. Reality is the left prefers the jobs gone and the people who’d have them on the government dole instead.

How is it not common sense that a $20 minimum wage for fast food restaurants will kill the entire industry and end up bankrupting them and costing people jobs.
