DO NOT give ultimate guitar a cent of your money. They are a greedy, scum-sucking, predatory company.

But wouldn't that mean the bottom checkbox should be cleared and the 2nd one should be checked?

Still doesn't make sense.

I've got some bad news for you...

Ok I was prepared to start white-knighting here and tell you to fuck off for making fun of a disabled person but then I thought I'd search this up first and...well, carry on.

It's obv not a Costco sign, there is a Tesco product in the background and Costco does not sell other companies' house-brand stuff. Just Kirkland and name brand stuff.

Yeah only uptight idiots would have a problem with this. Though in the US she'd probably be fired.

After having multiple conversations with parents about their non-binary children, I have to admit that constantly using they/them gets confusing as hell. This parent has multiple children and I frequently couldn't tell if they were referring to their children collectively, or to the non-binary child individually.

I want to live in a world where no one feels they are struggling so much that they need to turn to selling their body for sex.

You see, that's the problem. You are implicitly devaluing sex work compared to other professions. You're not acknowledging that some people actually want to, and choose to do sex work. There's nothing wrong whatsoever with someone choosing prostitution, stripping, escort, etc.

Could you say your same statement about being a lawyer? A teacher? An engineer?

"I want to live in a world where no one feels they are struggling so much that they need to turn to being an engineer."

You see how weird that sounds? So why can you say it about sex work? Do you see how derisive you're being toward it as a profession? Funny that you say you're supportive while implying that what they're doing is a last resort...🤦‍♂️

Just think of your computer or server as a huge building with thousands of doors. Most are closed, but you purposely open a few to allow traffic in and/or out of. Those that are open are only open for a specific purpose and will only lead in or out of a specific place in the building.

Money. It's always money.

The MA1 is not worth the trouble. It is soooo finicky. I've had to factory reset and re-setup on multiple occasions from things as simple as walking out of range.

After me and my daughter spent a full hour trying to get any of our phones to reconnect to the damn thing, I had had it and sent the thing back to Amazon and got my $100 back. Much happier just using a cable again.

I wasn't a cheap tipper before, but I'm rapidly moving in that direction as tip culture spirals out of control.

My guilt-o-meter is getting desensitized out of necessity and soon I'll be a cheap or non-tipper and feel no remorse.

Just because you don't like online casinos, doesn't mean cloudflare didn't completely fuck this up. They could have negotiated reasonable terms to increase their revenue on this account instead of going the route of stonewalling and extortion.

So not only did they lose this customer, but this bad press will ensure a lot of others never sign up with them, potentially costing them millions in foregone sales.

Yeah this was a massive boondoggle..

Wait, how is earning revenue from having ads in your app "profiting off free user content," but charging someone directly to use the app isn't? They both do the same thing for the developer (generate revenue), the only difference is who is paying.

From each, according to his ability, to each according to his need...

My wife and I collect souvenir lapel pins from places we travel to. We write the date on the back, and keep them in a shadow box on the wall in chronological order.

It's nice as it's not very expensive to buy them, and they don't take up a lot of space to keep, and we have a nice little history of our travels at a glance.

What!!???? Are you really equating any mention of the word "white" with race? And further, calling people racist for being confused at the absolutely pointless change to a commonly used term that has been used for decades?

Holy shit we deserve the impending apocalypse/civil war/breakdown of society. We've earned it.

New here, too. Glad to be here.

The audacity of him being mad at all the people producing and managing the content on the site for him. Seems they lost sight of that along the way andncan only see the traffic of the consumers of that content lol.

Huge wake-up call when he looks up one day and goes, "why is there no content on reddit anymore!?"

I know you don't think you are, but you're really misguided and have been taken in by some messed up propaganda. You're missing SO much but I get it's popular to rag on Israel and the US right now, so it's kind of easy to just go with the flow.

Two days ago, hundreds of innocent people were ambushed and murdered at a music festival by some Palestinians.

Some of us are doing ok and just trying to keep our heads down and not get caught in the crossfire. Good luck you guys. I wish you better fortune in the future.

The title literally references Sync...if it didn't, your point would be stronger but I understand the spirit.

You made me proud of myself! I have left all three!

I have heard so much about Ayn Rand that I decided to see what all the buzz was about and listened to Atlas Shrugged during my commute. That shit was the most insufferable, unrealistic, out-of-touch BS I've ever "read." She really thought a lot of herself. It was a horrible exercise in self-flagellation.

The app is really nice.

Wow, that's frustrating. I've never heard of such a device. Why is it up to you to proclaim how long you've been parking there? Where do you live? Everywhere I've been (in the US) it's up to parking enforcement to determine if a car has been there too long or not.

Should have*

While I acknowledge that Ryobi is at the bottom of the barrel, my experience with them has been really good. I've been using the same drill/driver for 20 years, and have gotten lots of use out of their other tools.

Do you have to mash it? Or will pressing it normally work?

The digital zeitgeist is a fuckin dystopia.

Self fulfilling prophecy, it seems. 🤨

Bought the lifetime a few months ago when it came out and haven't regretted it!

Linux users on Lemmy: People who don't run Linux are just bad with computers and shouldn't be using a computer at all!

I remember being part of these exact same conversations on other message boards at least 15 years ago.

We're all going around in circles here as history repeats itself.

How do I buy a put option on an IPO?

Sync for Lemmy has a translation feature. You could try that.

I can't blame the Palestinians for fighting to get them out.

Oh is that what they were doing at the music festival?
