Elite was the reason I stopped buying early access. $150 for beta that was over hyped.

At the end of the day, as long as there’s two people left on the planet, someones gonna want someone dead.

One of my previous jobs had an employee exercise room. Some people used it and management didn’t like that so they said we’re not allowed to use it during our shift and only after hours. It was a government position so we weren’t allowed to be in the building before or after our shift.

These places only use them to advertise to new employees how “friendly” they are.

That wasn’t the original argument now was it? If you’re going to move goalposts then at least be halfway correct the first time.

Yes. Not sure what the other person is on about. Hot water can have more sugar dissolved in it. When it cools it crystalizes but only if the saturation level is higher than what the water can hold. It’s how rock candy is made. This is like basic chemistry.

Why are you here preaching to us about carbon footprints when you yourself are wasting electricity doing so?

Came here to say something similar. Currently hating life and fantasizing how I’d quit my job and burn this bridge

Yup. I’m using the chargers from my old phone

Next they’ll removing the charging cable and send us just a fucking phone.

Oh you mean like google did? I was pretty surprised and disgusted they didn’t include a charging cable with my pixel 7. All I got was a 6 inch data transfer cable.

Advertisers have been doing stuff like this since forever to get you to look. Some ads will subtly add extra limbs that you won’t notice by glancing at it but your brain notices something is off and will make you want to look closer

Too real

I used to browse it about 15-20 years ago.It used to be a good place to learn tricks about all sorts of electronics. I’m not sure exactly what happened but it was like a switch flipped and they got awful almost overnight. Probably bought out.

Yes I feel that some context with a linked post is mandatory. Besides risking malware or scams, a bare minimum should be required when posting. Just a link isn’t enough.

At one of my old jobs I remember getting a 9.2 out of 10 on a performance report. When they called me in for a meeting I was thinking I was getting a pat on the back. Nope. It was “you could’ve done better”. That was the day I learned to stop trying and just say fuck it at any job since then.

They. Do. Not. Care. So if I’m going to be treated the same regardless if I put in 110% or 50%, then why bother?

You stoopid

Got a Brother laser printer when I was still at home because I got tired of using the cheapo inkjet. Because everytime we needed something printed we’d have to run to the store and buy $50+ in black and color cartridges for 1 or 2 pages. I took my printer with me when I moved out and helped my parents pick out an identical printer because they liked mine so much lol.

Wont this come back to bite him the ass legally? This feels like some sort of fraud and any smart investor would run away from this deal wouldn’t they? I know I’d second guess myself if I saw a client pull this level of childishness.

How in the fuck is this orange clown even allowed to run with all the indictments against him? The system is a joke. A tragic comedy.

Yes. I once was using an old laptop for travel and didn’t care if it got lost. It hadn’t been updated years but I got a nasty virus from visiting Spotify once that embedded itself into the tcp/ip stack. Not that I cared much for the laptop but it was a wakeup call that ads contain viruses. I’ve ran adblockers before that incident on my main computers but since it was old I didn’t I have everything up to date. Since then I’ve made sure to install ublock origin on any computer I touch. Even friends and family with their permission.

I could write an essay on why I block ads but the other comments sum it up pretty well.

They never directly said what their criticisms were, but I can only assume they’re the types you wouldn’t elaborate on when trying to get people to side with you over “censorship”.

Which to me is funny because they know they’re wrong.
