I got sick of being careful and definitely got banned, but it wasn’t hard to fake well as long as you are patient

Not sure how they’ll manage the straight up teleportation I used to do. Live rural, definitely went to the beach 100km away daily lmao.

Windows.
iOS in 2012 and android in 2014.

I have a trash internet connection so I just play whack-a-mole with internet privileges. Windows update? No. NVIDIA? Not a chance. Google? How is that even on my computer? But also nah.
Turns out most things use fuck all resources without internet

- Comment on Washer estimated "1 minute left", took 13 minutes to finish 1 week ago:
Mine has no idea what the fuck time even is. 1 minute almost never shows up, normally it stops at 4 minutes left. But 4 minutes doesnt mean it’s nearly done, it might be about to pop this very second but also half an hour seems like a good time.
I’ll put the fucker on for a 30 minute cycle, have a shower, get dressed and come back to 29 minutes. Idk why it even bothers with a timer if it’s literally never accurate.

When I got my key stuck in the ignition I turned it hard enough the metal part of the key twisted a lot. At least it didn’t damage anything not already broken.
I’ve worked on my own car 4 times, started 1 fire and 1 almost fire.
I’ve stopped working on my own car now for related reasons lmao

Presuming any kind of skill. Some of us are the kind of idiot that makes cotton wool dangerous.

Either way I’m blind if there’s a big fucker next to me at the start, and it’s about 1/5th of the car moved to see either way. I guess that’s car dependant though, it’s only my direct rear visibility that sucks and sideways back is fine but I’ve definitely been in cars where trying to see what’s next to you and a bit back is hard.
- Comment on No excuse 4 weeks ago:
Australian, I actually took a photo to show my point today. Technically didn’t reverse back because it’s back to back parks and you can drive through the first to be in the second, but same end result.

Sorry about it being a discord link, that’s just the most convenient thing for me right now as apparently I can’t just upload the image to the comment. Or I just don’t know how, either way. Can’t see shit to my left, I just happened to know there wasn’t anyone coming from when I got in the car, but if I didn’t it would be a massive pain in the arse despite leaving the park forwards.

So is 999%
And I’ve just learned percent is under two layers of keyboard menus so that’s just fantastic.
- Comment on No excuse 4 weeks ago:
We must have different parks, if there’s a car next to me regardless of facing forwards or back, I can’t see shit til I’m half out the park anyway. Part of that is most cars being twice the height of my previously normal sized car I guess, so I can’t see through their windows anymore.
- Comment on No excuse 4 weeks ago:
Significantly less turning going in forwards, with the exception of parallel parking where both are pretty even, but some people see you pass a park and go right up your arse even though you wanted to back in.
Also car has great visibility forward and fuck all backwards, rear view mirror is like double the size of the rear window (in the reflection, not side by side).

Cats tend to be exactly inside the box, I would expect them to park inside the lines every single time.

A lot of religious people aren’t inherently dangerous, whereas an active nazi or pedo is likely going to end up hurting someone.
Not that I overly disagree, fuck religion.
- Comment on Steam's new disclaimer reminds everyone that you don't actually own your games, GOG moves in for the killshot: Its offline installers 'cannot be taken away from you' 5 weeks ago:
Valve is holding up the bar not because valve is great but because everyone else is so shit. I’ve had a ton of issues with steam throughout the years and it’s just… nothing else is better. I was actually excited for the epic store launch and it’s… Well, not the worst, because being the worst is a challenge some places take seriously, but certainly not a good steam replacement especially for low data people.
Steam may not let me control the updates to steam, but it won’t force refresh my library causing ping spikes all the time as an intended feature.

My underscreen one is excellent and works 99% of the time. That still leaves it significantly worse than rear fingerprint sensor. RIP the best unlock method.

- Comment on What games would you recommend others to just play on easy difficulty 2 months ago:
I spend the entire game prepping for the boss. Just because I can ohko every other ship the moment I land doesn’t mean I can touch the beast. I’ve done the last sector without taking a hit just to never even get past the shields in phase 1
- Comment on how do I accept I'll never know why any employer rejected me? 2 months ago:
I could list ‘works with wildly dangerous substances in a public environment’ or ‘drug dealer’ and both are technically accurate.
I work at a petrol station and between caffeinated drinks, the medical aisle and cigarettes, I sell a lot of drugs. Dangerous substances being the 100,000 litres of aggressively flammable fluid we stand on all day.
- Comment on M*crosoft's search engine is borderline unusable 2 months ago:
If the answer is even correct. Friend tried to use it to see what laptops with 4k screens cost and all 3 options were in fact, not 4k at all because the AI is dog shit :)

The fact the skibidi says yes yes instead of skibidi makes me think they’ve seen it, because everyone who hasn’t tends to just say skibidi.
- Comment on Why do boomers hate squirrels so much? 2 months ago:
No, it’s just a bird feeder not a squirrel feeder. At least until the squirrels manage to change the signage, which they probably could if they tried hard enough.
- Comment on Why do boomers hate squirrels so much? 2 months ago:
Squirrels eat the bird food meant for the birds and are extremely hard to stop
- Comment on Cords 2 months ago:
That’s Australia’s.
Because of the no switch, does US plugs spark a lot when getting plugged in?
- Comment on Cords 2 months ago:
Wait really? I don’t think I have a single unswitched plug in my house, and I’ve never seen another house with even a single unswitched plug. Do US people need to unplug cords to get rid of standby lights?
- Comment on Cords 2 months ago:
So is the problem solved by not plugging it into a powered wall plug? Just like… flick the switch off, like you would a light switch before changing a bulb?
