They were talking about being tired and getting away from it all, what you’re describing sounds like the least relaxing activity possible

I didn’t believe you, OP. I thought there’s no way, it’s exactly the kind of thing that would be made up. Like we all talk about accidentally streaming porn but it never actually happens.

But holy fuck, there’s images. There’s a screen recording. You can see one of the guys had a pup hood. I am completely shocked.

And yeah, even before he realized what was happening the chat had already come up with an excuse and he went with it. We live in a clown world.

No i always expected conservatives to be secretely gay, but accidentally streaming gay porn is so funny and so demonstrative that it sounds made up. Like it’s unquestionable proof of a common stereotype and the person also looks clumsy in the process, it’s like too good.

This is a thing that annoys me and it’s not just Microsoft doing this: there’s never a “No” button, it’s always “Not now” or “Maybe later”. As if i’m going to reconsider. As if it’s an honest offer worth thinking about and not a pop-up.

A lot has been said about Call of Duty MWII, but if your theory is correct then we’ll have to say that, of all things, its plot was prescient. And i’m not ready for that

The internet can amplify incredibly marginal phenomenons. Like, how many incels can there possibly be? Yet you hear about them all the time

Maybe i’m already half asleep, but i love this comment that starts out on topic then drifts into a unrelated rant written in the most entertaining way.

Misleading headline: if you read the article and watch the video, he actually blames school shootings on the lack of moral education, with merely a reference to evolution teaching as an example of amoral atheism in the classroom.

So it’s not a cartoonish slogan, it’s actually a fairly standard fascist talking point.

And people say, ‘How can a young person go into their schoolhouse and open fire on their classmates?’ Because we’ve taught a whole generation, a couple generations now of Americans, that there’s no right or wrong, that it’s about survival of the fittest, and you evolve from the primordial slime. Why is that life of any sacred value? Because there’s nobody sacred to whom it’s owed. None of this should surprise us.

I don’t deserve respect, it was the style at the time and i just kinda never stopped doing it.

Closing in on 200Gb of mp3 where i listen to the same 5 on repeat

This seems like rage bait. The smug british stereotype is too perfect.

Physical buttons. Sometimes an app or the OS itself will fuck up and not show you the home or back button for example.

I would miss headphone jacks but any phone worth buying still comes with those… for now

As discussed here:

Honestly they do it so consistently that i’m starting to wonder if they have a choice.

A common way to do things for tech startups is that they get venture capital funds, use them to run the business at a loss hoping to acquire market dominance, and then use market dominance to turn a profit. I think a lot of tech startups that we know are currently in phase 2, meaning they’ve thrown money out the window for years and are now trying to recoup their investments.

Also, Reddit wants to go public and Twitter already is. This is relevant because investors are animals, all they see is short-term profit, and they use their voting power to make the company behave that way.

There’s a common thread between both my theories: it’s shareholder capitalism. I say this as a lifelong shareholder myself, shareholders ruin everything.
