- Comment on POV: You walked into a corporate meeting of people who make 10x your salary 1 day ago:
It’s crazy to me that they don’t do a basic check before publishing the video either. Watched a video from a hugely popular developer on LinkedIn recently and every time he said ChatGPT the caption had LGBT or something else that was so clearly wrong. With the amount of followers this guy has you’d think he could take a glace at the captions before publishing.

Oh yeah, it’s perfect for corporate America. If fits the bill perfectly for abuse through corporate consolidation:
- working class people NEED it to survive
- workforce theoretically doesn’t require an advanced degree so is therefore ripe for exploitation
These two things together are the holy grail of American capitalism because it means if a handful of companies control all the daycares then they can screw over both labor and consumers through corporate consolidation.
We know the government will never break up the conglomerates, so that leaves unions to hold the ghouls accountable in which case they just close any daycare that unionizes, look for scabs, or try to replace humans with AI.

This also works for your friends who have kids

An ad for what?? Red Bull?
- Comment on Meta progression in roguelites was fun for a while, but it's starting to feel unrewarding 2 weeks ago:
Hades feels like this to me. In fact the game dialogue seems to enforce this. I guess that’s why it’s considered a rouge-lite?

Warm white 2700-3000k is fine for bedrooms Soft white 3500k is better for awake spaces that aren’t task spaces White/Daylight 5000k+ is for getting things done, I use them in the garage, the basement, and for some of the kitchen lights
I used to hate integrated LED fixtures, but I put in under-cabinet lighting that can switch color temp so that is nice because I can set it to daylight during meal prep and warm during eating.

That sounds pretty nice, I have some devices compatible with Matter, but mostly I have Amazon plugs right now. I guess it’s not too late to start switching to Zigbee plugs.
I’ll probably start by just disabling the microphone on the Alexa devices and just control devices through my phone’s assistant or the app, so at least it’s not listening to me all the time.
- Comment on When you know your boss is an insane moron 2 weeks ago:
She seems like the kind of person who isn’t capable of reading a paragraph so would just tune out when she sees one.
- Comment on A new quest appears... 2 weeks ago:
I have gotten so used to this it’s going to be tough when I inevitably excise Alexa from my life due to surveillance capitalism.
- Comment on Do we ? 3 weeks ago:
I want one so that it explains why I’m driving slow. Maybe tailgaters would exhibit a little less road rage.
Also, I want it to flip around to say “Baby is NOT on board” so when I want to drive like an asshole they know I mean business.

Good source of fiber and adhesives!

Wasn’t the large fries always a ripoff? I think someone showed once that it’s only marginally more fries than a small fry.

That’s a good way to start my work day then because I’m constantly moving from one fire to another.
- Comment on Shut up science!! 2 months ago:
I get why you shouldn’t use it before bed but why not after waking up? If it keeps you awake shouldn’t it help you wake up?
- Comment on After Today's meeting where Trump fell in love with Mamdani, this is MAGA tomorrow morning. 2 months ago:
This meeting most likely benefits Trump more than Mamdani. This give Trump an opportunity to sweep the vile racism of the final weeks of the campaign under the rug, and lets him appear to be concerned about the working class and affordability.
I’m sure Mamdani and his team understood this but are willing to butter him up so that Trump doesn’t send ICE and the national guard into NYC.
- Comment on PC Master Race 3 months ago:
I’ve never been happy with the performance of my gaming PC for the cost, always seems like it should perform better, but the real reason I don’t buy consoles is because I want to be able to upgrade my hardware but still play my old games.
- Comment on THE CRAZY PILLS 4 months ago:
When they say “Trump derangement syndrome” it always makes me think of the deranged shit that Trump does. Like trying to start wars with Iran and Venezuela and then practically demanding the Nobel peace prize.
- Comment on 4 months ago:
I got to the final heart boss exactly one time and I can’t see any way that I would ever defeat it given it has 750HP and some other insane buffs.

Only a matter of time before it’s renamed to HBO Max
- Comment on Can't believe I made this without ChatGPT 5 months ago:
Would be great if the AI bubble caused investments in the electric grid and renewable energy and then popped.
- Comment on The massive Satisfactory 1.1 update is out now with controller support 8 months ago:
Hope it’s good, I’ve played a few games that claimed to have controller support and it was bad… had to keep the mouse handy to do certain things.
- Comment on Anon gains a superpower 8 months ago:
I think there’s something in the text that says you have to be powerful enough to utilize it which is why it is somewhat tempting for characters like Gandalf. Even though it would also corrupt him.
- Comment on quick health tip 9 months ago:
I used to do this because it was supposedly better than sugary creamers. You’re supposed to use a little blender to whip it up though, then it actually tastes super good.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 10 months ago:
Wow, looks like exactly what I need! I’ll give it a try, thanks!
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 10 months ago:
Upgrade tool says my hardware isn’t supported, seems like I can enable TPM on my motherboard but it doesn’t work right for some reason I think I managed to install Windows 10 without secure boot or something, not sure if those two are even related. I was thinking maybe I’d have to reinstall windows 10 with those modules enabled in order to upgrade to windows 11… Has anyone else encountered something similar?
- Comment on One-handed games? 10 months ago:
Simple two button games like Divekick can be played with one thumb if you want. It’s Steam Deck verified.

Unprofessional conduct alert indeed… It’s like he was putting up a trigger warning for his own post

Sounds like their leadership team could use a few adjustments.
- Comment on Post-election blues 1 year ago:
A general strike? Protests? Before this election I would have agreed with you. Now… half or more of the workers you’d need to pull that off voted for Trump.
A general strike right now would basically just be leftists self-blacklisting themselves and doing the fascists work for them.
If there’s anything this election has shown, it’s that there’s no unity on the left. Who are we organizing with since it’s clear that the cultists are a lost cause and the left can’t be relied on to show up when it matters most?
