You seem to be mentioning right wing grifters a lot in this thread. What exactly do they do that upsets you so badly?

I think a lot of American breweries confuse “interesting” beer with “good” beer, because in the US, as long as it doesn’t taste like Coors, you’re fine.

It’s the chicken bacon ranch pizza problem. It’s good. I like it. But I don’t want it every time I have pizza. I definitely can’t eat a whole chicken bacon ranch pizza, even if I spread the leftovers over the week. But a slice every now and then is great.

“Good” American beer is generally pretty fatiguing to drink. Good European beer isn’t. That’s how it is for me at least.

There’s no way I believe that Deepseek was made for the $5m figure I’ve seen floating around.

But that doesn’t matter. If it cost $15m, $50m, $500m, or even more than that, it’s probably worth it to take a dump in Sam Altman’s morning coffee.

She’s also the one who has fought any attempt to curb it, tooth and nail, for the past couple years.

The worst thing they’ve ever done is remove functionality from the desktop app and have it exclusively in their mobile app.

I love the idea of Sonos. Being able to have whole house audio without having to run a shit load of cabling would be a dream come true, except they do it so badly it is often a nightmare.

On the bright side, if there’s a boomer who only posts bad memes about how much he hates his wife, you can say he has a mental illness.

You could before, because it’s true, but you still can too.

This is the answer.

For many people who don’t understand technology, the solution isn’t more technology. Is a password notebook technically less secure? Yes. But it’s much better and more understandable than what she really wants, which is the same username and password for everything.

Plus, a notebook is great way to pass information that’s not just usernames and password. It’s in invaluable resource in case of death. Digital is great, but physical copies are important.

AT-ST! AT-ST!

There are so many online companies that do this, like Glassdoor. They are willing to share any information they have about a place until they’re paid to remove it. Goes for bad reviews and salary info as much as it does for coupon codes.

He’s with his wife.

Happy for him. Sad for us.

They don’t care about winning, because it changes nothing for them. If they win, they keep taking kickbacks and bribes. If they lose, they keep taking kickbacks and bribes.

If they win, they wring their hands about how they can’t do what they want, so it’s not even worth trying. If they lose, they wring their hands about things they can’t stop, so it’s not even worth trying.

It’s win-win for them. It’s lose-lose for us.

Nah, they’ll pivot back to a white guy.

Hey, hey. Rude of you to call the guy who was supposed to save us from another 4 years of Trump but then delivered it anyways a failure. All he did was tread water for 4 years and then hang on to power way too long, simultaneously tanking his own campaign, and making it much more difficult for someone to follow him.

So true. A couple years ago, I upgraded from an RX 480 to an RTX 3070. I was excited for ray tracing and so much more. It was very underwhelming.

Sheev was a father and beloved grandparent.

Pardoning Hunter and projecting an air of general, but aloof concern.

Hey now, he really needed all those years to mull it over, just to make sure it aged like milk.

I have this drawer.

It’s not a junk drawer.

It’s an irregular kitchen items drawer.

It’s just the cost of being someone who actually uses their kitchen. We have the garlic press, scissors, pizza cutter, bench scrapers, microplaners, thermometers, etc… in there. All useful things that fit poorly with other things, so they get a drawer all to themselves.

The junk drawer with batteries and twist ties is another drawer.

Well, the Jewish Jews are the LORD’s chosen, underdogs who are bravely soldiering the storm, but the American Jews are communist Satan worshippers who’ve sold their souls for control of the world. They’ve been battling for millenia to control the space lasers.

Also, now that I’ve imagined it, there’s both porn and a Manga of it.

But the venn diagram of the group of people who take voluntary surveys and the group you want to advertise to have no overlap.

The problem with ads is that we’re barely removed from the era of all ads being malicious trojans if you clicked one. All ads are still malicious, just less insidious. They’ll silo you off into an echo chamber rather than brick your computer. Some will still brick your computer though.

I block ads because I don’t want to see ads, but I don’t want to see ads because I don’t trust any of them. Until they fix that, they’ll stay blocked. I don’t care if you’re Google or some boutique website, I’ll block them all.
