‘I’ve worked here for a year already. It should be clear by now that I’m not a talkative person. This is a question I don’t want to answer. And I hope that you respect that.’

This won't be taken well at all and sounds incredibly assholish.

‘that I don’t talk doesn’t mean I hate you, it means I have nothing to say’ < I find it ludicrous even having to explain this.

Still kinda rude IMO

‘I don’t see what that has to do with the job’

Depending on the situation could also be rude.

‘I don’t talk about religion, politics or my private life with coworkers and I hope you respect that’

Yes, this is good. Firm and clear.

‘all right, I need time to unwind, which means today I’ll spend my pause somewhere else.’ and proceed to eat alone somewhere else. And if they pester yet again: ‘leave me alone’

How about just "Sorry, I don't feel like talking right now." except you say that every time like a broken record. They'll move on eventually since you never have anything to add.

So... Match em? It's not "unfair" if you don't even bother to keep up

Good, stop using Discord to host your shit

Capitalism may hold us back in some regards but really helps in others.

The majority of people would likely be feudal peasants, working under a warmonger family that owns the sustaining land by force. No upward mobility except through bloodshed.

Good, can they go after gyms next?

That's horrifying. Why would a potential life-threatening device be controlled by a smartphone app? What functions could possibly not be handled on the pump itself and need to be offloaded? What FDA crook was paid off to allow such a stupid thing to hit the market?

I'll have you know that my liver is larger than most people's thumbs

I could have sworn there were a dozen A presses left, and it turns out there is: for 120 star. For anyone else wondering, this is 0x a press for any%

Literally just make ads less obnoxious, and/or make YouTube premium not stupidly expensive. That's all you fuckin have to do, YouTube, and you can cut a huge portion of the cat and mouse game.

Maybe you'd feel differently if your country wasn't 90+% homogeneous with a light skin tone

You shouldn't be so hard on yourself, it is your own tastes after all

I've found more far-left shitposting here than anywhere else on the internet, which might be some people's cup of tea but I find incredibly obnoxious. I'm not even right-leaning. Glad I can block whole instances with the app I use at least

I guess I'm rare in that I like working in an office. My house is for relaxing and enjoying my time, so the few times I did WFH I really just want to curl up on the couch instead of work.

I personally like Thunder. Jerboa felt too limited for me.

Not in the US unfortunately, which is bullshit

Of course battery technology improved, but the amount of news articles claiming XYZ will change technology forever outnumbers the actual number of innovations 100 to 1

"I wonder what people's opinions are, or of there's something more to learn about this topic!"

"Oh, there's nothing here..."

I wish it were as easy to make money on stock prices going down as it is to make money on stock prices going up

I mean that's kinda what it already is

/s is commonly known as sarcasm

Aggressive words have lost all meaning. I'm pretty disappointed to see him not taking swings at anyone

One of the main things I kinda ran into recently, credit unions are set up for private accounts and don't do business accounts very well. I bought a car recently and the business owner was telling me that it was a hurdle to deal with large amounts of money on a regular basis with his credit union, and he didn't have issues with his conventional bank in that regard. I don't know the specifics unfortunately but it does make sense.

Just like all other subjects in life, you'll be a lot happier if you stay away from news and tabloids

I'm thinking higher temp will cause the AC to cycle less, hence less frequent load on the engine and fuel savings

The first thing I do on any new phone is go to developer options and turn all 3 animation settings to off. It's a night and day difference. I've probably saved a collective hour of my life not waiting for animations lol

I used to fail Cloudflare's capcha constantly until I realized I was clicking too fast lol

Yeah, the same way a radio tuned to a station could be static until you plug in an antenna.

You could also get hums and interference from other sufficiently strong EMF sources, like how AM radios can pick up the sound of transmission lines

I didn't see anything in the article about "effectively forcing everyone to identify themselves to online platforms," care to elaborate?

Do you mean "and" instead of "or"?

If you have money but no gas, just buy gas. If you don't have money but have gas, then you're just the average American.

Bigclivedotcom is the GOAT. I also recommend Ben Heck and Voidstarlab for electronic project ideas/edutainment

Why not another app, such as one that offers end to end encryption?

I think it's hilariously naïve. The comments will be scraped anyway, and there's nothing you can do about it

China: let's get more money through glorious capitalism

Also China: wait not like that stop it

Peanut butter with sugar in it is gross to me. I specifically look for it without any sugar in the ingredients. It doesn't have to be sweet!

Again?

Can't wait for people to get their head out of their ass and stop making/buying SUVs and crossovers

Alright, you first!

"The term "Web3" was coined in 2014 by Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood, and the idea gained interest in 2021 from cryptocurrency enthusiasts, large technology companies, and venture capital firms."

That tells me everything that I need to know.
