I think I remember seeing this back when it came out. What was this printed in?

Was this an AI post?

Cropped wrong, spelling error, piss poor content...

Well I already had diabetes so I was immune to that lol

I did night shift for like 9 years. I actually preferred it and 10ish years later I have no regrets about it. Honestly I kinda wish I still had that job. The place has changed how it works a lot according to someone I still talk to that is still there, so I would probably hate it now. But other than management sucking, I was damn good at it and it was satisfying. Not the work itself, (it was just a warehouse for a clothes company) but I was satisfied at how well I picked everything up and other than a handful of positions, given the ability to loop time, I could have run the whole place minus those particular spots.

Either way, that part of it was satisfying. And I liked not always missing stuff that happened during the day. I could switch sleep schedules to fit other plans when necessary. I wasn't always just automatically out of a given social interaction because of the time, or unable to make a certain doctor appointment.

Just find everything from their pockets first before you even ask us. Your tax rate is now related to the amount of the country's wealth you have. Counting all the stuff you moved out of country specifically to avoid this. That should actually count against them double to further disincentives doing so.

Maybe even worse in the first few years of the change so it will be extremely difficult for them to move back quickly enough to dodge some of the impact of this.

You guys have windows positions?

I feel like it does imply that though. "tablet-fed" really does sound more severe than just using it having one around.

"as much as popular"

What language did this come from?

I feel like there a metaphysical bar that billionaires have to limbo under to become billionaires that is a hard cap on IQ.

Who among the super rich isn't on a spectrum STRICTLY ranging from "completely stupid" to "completely evil"?

I don't think they have literally any other personality traits at all. No friends outside of business partners or people trying to get a piece of it.

I can see the alphas railing against the term "tablet-fed". They are NOT gonna like that.

That's gonna be what us cranky old millennials call them later while we would be yelling at them to get off our lawn. But we won't yell that, because none of us will own any yards.

Where's the period after the "E"?

Came here to say this. Well I would've said Trump, but same idea.

I wanna "make a both filename"!

No, but so but one of two shirts I was gifted, they're almost all just solid colors. 2 have different kinds of stripes, and I got 2 band t shirts from concerts. That's it.

I'm not against wearing one though. But I would probably use it like a cigar smoker's smoking jacket. Just change into it when vaping (I don't smoke it) it and then back into a regular plain shirt when I leave the area. I wouldn't go in public with it.

This place has way too many super conservative people and I just don't wanna hear it.

Same reason I wouldn't wear sports shirts even if I didn't hate all sports, or religious shirts even if I was religious.

I just don't wanna automatically piss someone off before I have a reason to lol. Just a bunch of different solid color shirts.

Love the Twitter account name

Not even with 2020 level energy would I consider it possible for him to try again in 2028. He's already the oldest, and he fucking SHOWS IT. He would not get the votes to try again. Even the most die hard would have to see he's a loser and move on by then.

They might still think he's right, but they have to know he just can't hang at this point. He's not gonna be around in the "living former president" club long either in my estimation. Which is based on nothing, to be fair, but it's my guess.

I'd say so.

Although I still think it's weird that "consecutive" became a requirement.

Edit: Not implying blame for OP about the requirement. But colloquially it does mean consecutive, and I think that's a little strange. Probably a weird etymology rabbit hole to look at sometime.

A true vintage.

XP was a huge advancement at its time, but I can't imagine running it today on the Internet at least.

I remember those keyboards from computer labs at college though.

I guess I was unsure how dedicated "hobby" was.

Damn now that's the first time I've felt young in the Internet in a while. Arkham Horror was the first "real" board game I ever heard of when I first played, and what launched my interest in it at all. So calling it modern got me lol. I'm not sure if that was the oldest game we played, but it well might be.

My social circle isn't a pot den, lol. Actually most don't partake either now that my circle already changed some.

But very few think anything negative about it, it's mostly just because their jobs prevent them from it.

I know far more people that would judge a cigarette smoker than would judge a weed smoker. I've only known two people course to my age that smoked at all. One quit years ago and the other has a whole new set of medical problems (on top of what she already had going on). I don't know if these new problems have anything to do with it, but I pretty much just assume any cigarette smoker with any medical problem has it because of the cigarettes. Probably a little too overboard for accuracy, but as far as I'm concerned they're just death. There is literally zero... Absolutely zero benefits to it at all, if you smoke you have only had things come of it. (Would love to hear a counter example, but I don't think any exist)

Anyway, that's a whole tangent so let me stop before I really get going.

Suffice it to say, that my meaning was that people who are against it (in my experience) are always uptight, religious, or something similar.

Unless they have a specific reason that they don't like it, I just probably wouldn't be friends with them. Just judging it because good told em to or whatever. Maybe that's just because I'm in the south and I just don't know what other areas are like.

But for me, you're either morally just fine with it but don't partake, a user (with a huge spectrum of frequency and amount), hate it because of paranoia, or a straight up Jesus freak.

I realize there are people who just somehow don't like it, but to look down on it in general just screams like a group of people that are no fun.

And for what it's worth, concerts are fun but exhausting, board games are AMAZING (I'm still sad about all the games I have that I can't play anymore for now because I lost the group of roommates I had)

Most of them weren't mine but I owned a few favorites and they're just sitting in a storage shed now :'(

Survival I'm ok with, not a huge fan. RTS though I can't stand as a genre. I grew up on games where you push a button, and something moves. Simulation, strategy, any genre where you're managing resources and stuff just totally doesn't sit with me.

At least in video games. Board games that do that kinda thing are fine usually.

Your sphere seems fun.

I really wanna go to an event where we're just literally roasting selected billionaires over a fire, eating popcorn as we listen to their screams, and watch their flesh darken as it burns. So whole celebrating how much negative karma is leaving the earth all at one time.

I'm not even kidding. I would literally enjoy physically going to such an event. Bezos and Musk would probably be the stars of the show.

Does Bezos even "do" anything at all? Ever? Or is he just cashing checks while underlings deal with all the "work stuff"?

I mean I would be downright ashamed if a company with my name all over it was looked on this badly.

How is weed so low? I get it's not literally everyone's cup of tea but I'm my experience more people partake or are ok with it than not.

They need to do way instain mother> who kill thier babbys. becuse these babby cant frigth back?

I don't know if this is specifically possible. I'm not quite rookie-level new (been using it about a year now) but I have something I would love to have convenience-wise.

It's a desktop machine with regular speakers, and I have a wireless headset that connects to its own dongle (not Bluetooth). It's there a way to switch to the headset automatically when I power it on, and revert to speakers when I turn it off?

I feel like it's possible hardware-wise, but I'm not tryna learn how to code to make it happen, and I don't know how to find a software solution. I don't even know what to call what I'm looking for.

That was half the reason I upgraded. I don't know if my old box would've been compatible (probably was), but I wanted it off Microsoft territory so bad and heating about Copilot sent shivers all over my spine.

I've never heard of installing any new OS without having to back stuff up. That's just wishful lazy thinking lol.

You probably won't have to do anything manually about Wine. Steam has Proton built in and it works great. As others always mention, check ProtonDB.com for user reports on how a specific game will work out.

I haven't run into any problems in my library, but I honestly haven't installed a ton of games.

I've used Heroic Games Launcher and Lutris for some other launchers (like Battle.net or Epic Games), and those have been a little hit or miss, but I think the main problem is something I'm missing. Not a huge priority but I'm still working on it occasionally.

I haven't heard anyone call or 3D card since the 90s. They're video cards or GPUs these days man. AMD has open source drivers that work just fine with Linux and should work just the same as the Windows version I believe.

Nvidia has open source ones, but they seem to be pretty terrible compared to the closed source ones. I had one issue with them last week but I think that was more related to KDE than it was the drivers' fault.

I don't really have any fancy hardware to describe how easy that was to get to work. Just a mouse, kb, headset(with mic) all of which worked fine without doing anything. I have a physical dongle for the controller, so I had to get a driver for that so I didn't have to use a Bluetooth connection (pretty shitty comparatively speaking) or gasp plug it in. Had a few issues with it for a while, there was an updated version under a new name and such but it all works now. Just turn the controller on and it's working instantly (unless I forget to charge it lol).

Funny, all I needed was the title.

I don't think you understand what seeing a 4k image or video means. You can't see a 4k image or video without a 4k screen. Maybe a 15 year old camera can capture it, but you can't see it, even with today's phone screens.

The only TV I've ever owned was like 19". The only real-size TVs I've ever watched are my parents' and the one my roommate had in the living room.

And just because they've been available since 2019 (according to you- I honestly can't remember when they started showing up lol) doesn't mean they were common or cheap at the time. And both of those units (the ones I've spent any time with) were bought around 2016 anyway. Not sure what world you live in where everybody buys a new TV every 3 or 4 years, but it's not a universal thing, or even the norm. Where having an SDTV might justify a midnight trip to go get a real TV, the need for 4k is less than 0.

So no, I am quite sure I've never seen a 4k image or video. Because I've never owned it has access to a 4k screen. That in and of itself is enough to verify that much, without having to worry about how modern it is, it what it was shot with, or recorded on, or how it was downloaded, or where/how it was streamed or any of that confusion.

No 4k screen means I've never seen anything that could only be on one.

I still don't think that I've ever seen a 4k image or video. plenty of morons out there sliding the quality up to 4k and going "Look at how good it looks!" whole I know full well their screen is at 1080 and I internally cringe.

But yeah, late 2024 and I've still never even seen a 4k screen to my knowledge.

At least not in person and not rebroadcast to a 1080 TV. So it doesn't count.

Agree. If I become intolerant, then I will just die shitting.

The choice of headline you went with made the whole thing read like an inside out sarcasm.

That's amazing. How do you rate the improvement in how you feel?

I miss before the feed existed. People would just update their page and Wall and you'd have to look around to see what people has changed (you could just see they made an update".

The Wall itself was just an insecure text box, so you could say something and identify yourself as whoever you wanted (there was no linking here) and they had no way to know who actually typed it.

I hated it as soon as the feed came out, really hated when it became open more widely (I was a college kid mad the little kids were coming to mess up the playground)

I kinda stopped using it much as soon as high schools could join. I would log in every couple months and remember I still don't care about any of these people. Then I finally made the move last year to download my data and delete the account. Haven't looked back.

If my computer starts testing me as.... ANYTHING then I'm out.

I guess I don't get the joke here.

What other site do we know of that made their API a pain to use killing the app that I used to tolerate that site that a good chunk of is migrated from?

Read that sentence again and rethink your choices.

I totally get it. I wish some of it was modular. My screen is too big 90% of the time. I love it for a clear view of the backup camera. It's nice for a clear view of the map if I'm out of town. Much better than trying to fumble with that on as phone like I did before.

But I don't have to do that often. It's not really in the way or anything but sometimes I just don't wanna see pixels. I can adjust it, but it's too much of a pain to mess with.
