From what I understand, covid can impact pretty much any system inside your body, even with infections that don’t feel like a big deal at the time, like some messed up roulette game. We weren’t able to beat it and not nearly enough people got vaccinated. I’m curious to see what literature comes out about it in about 10 years, in terms of societal impact.

the shape is also awful and unergonomic.

I agree. I basically got carpal tunnel from this model. Had to learn to hover a part of my hand over it whenever I was using it, instead of cupping my palm down like the design would imply.

It’s totally normal to be detained and interrogated upon departure from Israel.

I’m not so sure I agree with this.

My backlog is so large that it would take forever to get through. I have no need to upgrade my setup to play more modem games.

Some new consoles don’t offer physical media anymore, and some games aren’t able to be played without an Internet connection and a yearly account charge? I just won’t play them, then.

RPGs got worse for me as soon as they shifted to adding VAs for every line. FFX (1&2) were the last Final Fantasy games I played all the way through. (FFX-2: would not play again even though the combat system was better). I’m fine with voice acting, but I liked when I could read dialogue and advance it accordingly.

Wouldn’t be as hard these days, based on how Google search has been eshittified.

Sounds relaxing and full of corny dopes (in a good way), so I’d fit right in.

Please ping me if you have any job openings. This sounds like paradise.

I don’t interpret their response that way.

As someone who is not in a good financial place, I would never work for ICE.

However, as someone who is not in a good financial place, if I realized I was probably working for an evil empire and couldn’t change anything from the inside: I wouldn’t be able to quit because my family would starve. I’d need to find another way to provide first, and that’s not easy when you’ve got kids and debt in a bad job market.

Stocking grocery store shelves wouldn’t pay the bills. That’s fairy tale logic/something that people with means can joke about doing.

Heck yeah though, if stocking shelves paid 6 figures I’d apply immediately.

Five months so far.

Does anyone have a video mash up of them talking about the tan suit?

The kind that pretends he understands the terminal output before entering “Y” after pasting in a decade-old user script suggestion on stack exchange.

From my therapist, jokingly: “Jesus Christ, you people can’t do anything!”

My life has only gotten worse since getting addicted to forums and social media. I’ve become much less productive as well. Feels bad :(

Plenty of the right leaning people I talk to say he was reaching for his gun. I can’t see it.

Fair point.

Yes, I toggled the setting over recently on Reddit - makes it a bit more fun to be weird in certain subs with very curious users.

Personal laptop is on Linux and working fine since I got it last year. Windows gaming machine is the next candidate for a move over this year.

They ding you for everything even you have this feature enabled for you (knowingly or unknowingly). Remember hearing about a user whose cat would run in front of his car when he was parking it at the end of the day. Car registered it as him almost hitting an object.

Drive on super bad/winding roads with bad lines? Lane assistance might show you as going over the lane lines that aren’t even there.

This service won’t be used to lower rates.

You can still see post history.

I still pepper my Reddit profile with a cohesive fake backstory, alluded to through random posts.

Randomly have chud redditors reach out to me after I upset them, making vague jokes/threats about my non-existent family or non-existent health issues.

Feels good.
