Learning to have a conversation and not a monologue is also a pretty solid skill.
People stand there talking without a break and I just stop listening.

I’m a terrible person, I know
I think that people can evolve as they mature. Recognizing that you don’t like the person that you used to be and taking steps to be a better person doesn’t make you a terrible person at all.
I also did and said a bunch of things in my teens that I abhor and regret as an adult, but I think that I grew into a respectable person and speak out against the very things I have said as a child.
7/10 meme, I got a chuckle when I saw “mandatory voluntary “
Just curious here, because I don’t really know how this works - will they have to disclose how many shares they sold to power users prior to the IPO? I’d love for that number to be as close to zero as possible.
Pornhub pulls out of Texas
Bravo to 404media for the headline.
As someone else mentioned about VPNs, by the time all this nonsense is over with, California is going to look like they have 200 million people there, if you look at web traffic.
I feel like you’re doing everyone a disservice when you don’t tell us the most beneficial way for us to hear your music.
I’m sick to my stomach. My healthy labrador died suddenly on Saturday. He was fine Friday afternoon, got nauseous Friday night, and I was waiting for the vet to open at 8am Saturday to get him in there. He got unresponsive and barely breathing around 6am and I rushed him to the vet ER, and he didn’t make it. The vet said he had a “torsioned spleen” or something like that.
I’ve got an absolutely soul crushing amount of guilt that I didn’t get him to the ER on Friday night. My dog trusted me to protect him and take care of him, and I completely betrayed that trust. I’m in such a place of deep sorrow that it’s impossible to explain with words. Every time I start to fall asleep, I’m suddenly wide awake trying to figure out why I decided not to act sooner.
Not sure why I’m sharing this, I guess I just had to get it off my chest.
Seriously, watt are they even doing?
I grew up in a racist household hearing some truly awful things, and parroted the vile shit I heard from my dad. I was a late teenager before I realized how fucked up my family actually was.
So pardon me if I completely disagree with you that I’m not “less terrible” than I was 30-40 years ago. The person I was back then is long dead.
Dude over here trying to stay relevant.
In this case, customer service is giving roughly 80% / 95% discounts. Which I think bolsters your point even further.
the users feeling entitled to both have a sub that was taken care of, and to shit on the mods, was quite perplexing.
New Reddit, in a nutshell. I really liked that sub back when things were good.
“Nuclear powered” has no reference to their weapons capabilities, but instead how it generates electricity to run the ship.
Back in the old days, subs had diesel generators that required air to run the generators (like any fossil fuel powered engine) that recharged the batteries that powered the ship while submerged. That means that if the batteries were running low, the sub would need to surface to use the diesel engines to recharge the batteries so they could dive again. With the invention of nuclear powered subs, surfacing wasn’t needed except for replenishing breathing air. Which I think is like a few days or maybe a week or two. Or whatever, I’m not an expert on this.
Now, that’s not saying that a lot of nuclear powered subs don’t also carry nukes (like tridents, for example). But “nuclear powered sub” doesn’t have any bearing on that. It’s purely describing how the sub generates electricity.
I hope that any submariners that read this will correct me if I’m wrong. This is all based on info I read years ago.
As my accountant once told me: if it floats, flies, or fucks, lease it.
The party of “personal responsibility” doesn’t want people to be personally responsible for raising their children.
You’re not doing anything wrong, you’re doing it exactly right.
Good. There are consequences to actions and even inactions, and people need to experience the “find out” part after they fuck around.
Can you trust whatever AI you use, implicitly? I already know the answer, but I really want to hear people say it. These AI hype men are seriously promising us capabilities that may appear down the road, without actually demonstrating use cases that are relevant today. “Some day it may do this, or that”. Enough already, it’s bullshit.
Clean water, air, and food. There’s plastic in everything. I don’t think any of us will ever get to experience any of this ever again.
Just stay off YouTube for a fucking month. Or even a week. If the traffic plummets, then we win. Why’s it so hard to understand this?
Hell, make it one day where nobody uses YouTube.
On newer cars, there is actually a chip in there (the valve stem, where you put air in your tire) for the tire pressure monitoring system. It tells you what pressure each tire is at on the dashboard.
Indeed, Telegram is a hive of criminal content. At the moment, the platform is in the news with the illegal broadcasting of Ligue 1 matches.
This is pretty funny. The first example of crime is people posting dodgy links to football streams? They can’t be serious.
Right. So I guess the main question now is what’s stopping Biden from going on a 3 month bender and reconstructing the entire government, from SCOTUS to Congress?

I was in endpoint management and security until last year. I got my A+ and sec+, and couldn’t find a job. I did actually find a job, but these fucks wanted to pay me less than I’m making in business ops now. So anything bad these companies have coming to them, they absolutely deserve it.
I just wanted to reinforce my opinion that you can (and I have) absolutely become a better person and left the shitty version of myself behind.
If you’re set on being a better person than you were before, then you’re progressing. There’s a quote attributed to Plato, and I don’t know if he actually said this or not. I think this rings true no matter what though.
“Never discourage anyone who continually makes progress, no matter how slow”
Keep being better and you’ll get through the guilt of who you may have been before. Be a voice for those you may have slighted earlier in life. It gets easier as time goes on, I can promise you it does from personal experience.
I know these are technically memes, but I’ve been seeing so many of these hit home for months now. I’m starting to wonder if I was one of those kids who slipped through the cracks and never got diagnosed
Hey thanks, I appreciate you. What you’re saying is all probably true, but I can’t shake this horrible feeling that I failed him. I like my dog more than I like most people I meet, and he was with me all day every day. I hope this feeling lessens with time.
Chains are only useful if there’s snow compacted onto the road (like in a lot of mountainous areas). Winter tires are useful because they stay softer in cold weather, while summer tires get hard as a rock below a certain temp, turning your car (or cybertruck in this case) into a sled. There are also studded snow tires, but they’re useless or even dangerous on roads with no snow.
This isn’t solving any problem, this is yet another mask to push
contentadvertisements in front of people.
That looks better.
You’re an amazing person, and I hope you know that. Thank you.
“Withstand voltage” is what got me.
However, what if it were possible to hail a small electric vehicle right when you needed it – via a taxi- or Uber-style app
Uber style app. Seriously, fuck no. Send trains or don’t, fuck Uber and their business model.
That whole mindset is weird to me. I’m in my mid 40s and just got hired on as a team lead for a bunch of kids who are fresh out of college. They’re exactly where I am when I started and I’m excited to share my 20 years of experience and mentor them.
They wanted to hire me on as their supervisor but I made it clear that the extra couple grand a year for that headache didn’t interest me.
Jesucristo. Can you guys just not use YouTube for like a month? Seriously, when they roll out unpopular features, just don’t fucking use it. Why is this all too hard to understand?
Trump has been unable to get bond for $464 million judgment, his lawyers say
Now there’s a fucking surprise. What a fraud.
I believe it’s a Crowdstrike EDR software update pushed through a windows update that caused the outage, which is definitely not a consumer solution.
Having had something to do with endpoint management in my past life, this is exactly the reason why we roll out updates gradually, and not to everyone all at once. My current employer did this the right way, and we had like 20% of the endpoints blue screen and we could actually function today while we worked through the issue.
recall taking screenshots periodically
Seriously, you didn’t get through the first paragraph?
the notion of a tool that silently takes a screenshot of your desktop every five seconds”
Saying “periodically” is a pretty trivial way of putting it.
Microsoft and Adobe fighting each other over who gets enshittification of the decade award. Sam Altman is probably crafting a victory speech about what chatGPT 12 might possibly be able to do, someday. The sooner all this snake oil hype crashes and burns, the better off we’ll all be.
Imagine how mad the marines would be if they could actually read this.
I wasn't swearing at anyone. Was my reply wrong? The only way tech companies tech take notice is if people don’t use their services when they’re unhappy with it.
I mean, do they think they’re the only ones that have guns, and know how to use them? They can have 40 guns each, but they still only have two hands.
