I am only ashamed of the energy I spent feeling ashamed of my tastes.

“Having something plugged into the usb-c port all day sounds like a recipe for a broken port.”

And having something plugged into a 1/8th inch jack all day isn’t?

I wonder how much is a result of people just blindly clicking through not realizing they have to physically manipulate the response options to move the choice to the top. First time interacting with that site and it is an incredibly stupid user interface.

Re: headphone jacks, its 2023. If someone still demands an unshielded analog electrical connection for their headphones, I have zero sympathy for them. Its like demanding cars have a dedicated hitch to connect a horse.

My sentiments exactly.

Hybrid work is idiotic. Remote all the way. Why do I need to travel two hours both ways to work at the same computer I can access from my bedroom? Even in office most meetings take place on teams anyway.

Listen you can’t just make up places like “Canada” i mean come on.

I thought that was the original draft plot but studio execs thought the audience wouldn’t be able to understand what that meant.

In the deep forges of Apple by the Automechanoids that hold the Thrice-Divided soul of Steve Jobs. They toil with their sacred task to hammer The Material into the requisite forms, never straying from the Grand Design.

Pilot wings 64 and mario 64 played at my friends house. Only access to games prior to that were Prince of Persia, Myst and spooky-ass Iron Helix on an old Mac II and they were not particularly exciting for a pup of that age.

I still do not understand how HOAs are a thing. I know why they are a thing (Karens gotta Karen) but its insane to me that people allow these weird racist and fascist little hamlets to exist governing their private property.

You’re a fucking moron for believing this. It is literally only advantageous to the owners and investors in everyone keeping their wages secret. Obviously the activity described by OP is pretty dumb but to the larger point everyone should openly discuss how much they earn, only detriment is showing how unequal and stagnant wages are.

The few moments being the two bonus episodes of The Mandalorian, otherwise it was just Boba Fett walking around with his weird perfect teeth telling everyone he was Boba Fett and everyone being like “uh, okay.”

“They can fly now??” Lamest Kenner toy ad ever. Also from the same movie: riding space horses on top of a star destroyer. Also all of that movie. What even was it called?

I have completely replace Reddit with it. (Save for looking for when I end up there due to trying to solve technical problems). Yeah it’s janky and doesn’t have as much happening but I feel like the userbase overall is much less toxic so more enjoyable to engage with.

there is really no logical reason. Working “in the office” is basically a bunch of distractions from idiot coworkers who don’t know that email / instant messaging apps exist + trying to figure out what is for lunch and planning how to spend the hour+ coming in / going home.

Frankly the push is likely just because so many companies have invested in the real estate and infrastructure to make a physical office function that they feel they need to make that investment worth while, plus the inertia of old people not willing to just accept that things can be done differently. Similar thing with a 4 day work week, countless studies and actual implementations have proven that it is vastly more productive for companies and preferable for employees, but it will never be implemented in the US because we are conditioned to think running yourself ragged for your job is somehow a moral necessity.

In my personal opinion, anyone who is a wage slave that claims to “prefer going to the office” is probably someone who doesn’t now how to do their job without bothering their coworkers with basic questions they should know the answer to and/or is so devoid of meaningful personal relationships they only have their coworkers to interact with.

Work is for chumps.

So you want a pedo/nazi/conspiracy/spam forum? Have fun with that.

I am an American. There are none other than ensuring the ruling class continues to wield unbalanced power over the masses.

Upon the founding of this country the office of president was very severely limited in what its function was (technically still is, which has been the great grift of American politics—true power is in congress but no one pays attention to congressional elections).

Nowadays the presidency has expanded a bit from its original design, to the point that it really should be a directly elected office, but it is very difficult to change the constitution of this country so the electoral college remains.

Yeah but this is the same reason Pluto is no longer a planet. Definitions matter, and every single beverage that humans consume is mostly water so, where is the line drawn on saturation of additional components? We need a DEFINITE line. Also I am in the camp that every beverage is “[Additive]-water” and anything that crosses the “not-water” barrier becomes “soup” until it is a baked good or building material.

Well that’s not really an easy option when you don’t own the computer you’re working on. Also again, the fact that the only way to enable the functionality is to pay for a third party app is pretty shitty and a major development oversight (and akin to the fact that IPadOS still to this day does not have a built in calculator because Steve Jobs said “why would anyone need to use a calculator on their iPad when they could use their iPhone?” Over a decade ago.

Apple makes some great products, but also makes some really bad design choices and continues to double down on them.

Idk where you live but seriously just retake your driving test. If you failed it clearly means you have no business operating a motor vehicle and will probably kill someone or yourself or both.
