I hate how whenever US liberals defend immigrants they have to say how hard working they are. I just want it to be known that I support immigrants who are just as lazy, if not even lazier, than me.
@rebeccawatson this! i also support the immigrants who are really into sharing their culture and prefer living for art than to make profit for a corporation!
So there's always the debate between QWERTY and alphabetical keyboards, but everyone is missing the obvious way to solve this disagreement.
There's no reason the alphabet HAS to be in that order. It's arbitrary, and English would work almost completely the same if the alphabet was in a different order, you know?
So, let's just put the alphabet in QWERTY order!
It'd solve all our problems from Q to M.

I bet if you formed an electric car company made only of people who previously worked for Tesla then quit in disgust, you could make a really good electric car company
Just because something is expensive doesn't mean don't buy it. Be reckless, yolo. Fuck the system, if you're not getting out of it then buy what makes you fucking happy instead of what the jonses say you should. And stop wasting it on the same video games over and over every time they stick a new skin on it, buy used DVDs instead of streaming, and get over coffee already the annoying bitter bean water obsession is worse than the "epic bacon" thing- that will save you a TON.
Don't get a new car, don't but new clothes that will just fall apart, don't get duped by the "luxury" bullshit because its made cheaper and more flimsy than the inexpensive stuff, don't pay for apps, etc etc.
But if all that is what makes you happy like the stupid eggboy, idk what to tell you, you're just fucked six ways from sunday and nothing will ever get better for you in any meaningful way.
But no matter what you do, give anybody overpricing stuff shit about it. Like, actively and often. They'll lower the prices pretty quickly. You're preaching to the choir with retail employees and chatter does go up the vine so make sure you let everyone know you're pissed iff about paying eight bucks for the small bottle of shampoo and how anything more than $5 for a consumable is a fucking ripoff.
@256 these are cool!! A lot of the better known DVD camcorders are from the late 2000s, but these early ones are FASCINATING!! I love them, and getting a smattering of them to play with is on my list right after i get my first good shooting day for my Sony Mavica CD1000, the miniCDr photography camera. Love to see it!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
The Roman empire fell because their Roman numerals weren't a form of positional notation, so they couldn't figure out binary. Their computers were terrible.
Last night I opened up YT in a private window, & clicked on an unrelated video to that of the one I had just watched. It was a video on arctic ice melts that turned out to be 100% denialist.
One click & there I was in endless fetid scroll of Jordan Peterson, climate change denial, 'what is woke' explainers, 'lol snowflakes' shorts, Trump propaganda, knife fights, & misogynistic, racist garbage.
Don't tell me Big Tech aren't culpable for the hate out there. They're farming it, on a vast scale.
@JulianOliver big tech is extremely part of the authoritarian problem. And its not just the social pipelines, but the constant forcing of its products on everyone as the only way to do things, destroying alternatives by pointing and yelling "obsolete", and perpetual cost inflation. If you look around at the reality of modern technology and understand why life is so broken you begin to realize they nazis aren't coming, they're already here and wearing faux silver and plastic carbon fiber.
Every time I hear about another group trying to reverse engineer a now dead or killed Nintendo infrastructure system, I want to ask them to remember to take a selfie with the judge for me
@textfiles tbf if nintendo didn't want anyone to revive them, then they shouldn't kill them in the first place. The smart move would be to note the developers and outsource server maintenance to them for the remaining playerbase, like how dead MMOs get passed around and maintained, where nintendo pays the host a vastly reduced-from-new server bill. The publicity & goodwill alone is worth the cost.
Same for legacy console developing vs romhackers tbh.
