- Comment on Streaming Is Raising Prices Faster Than Cable Ever Did 4 hours ago:
Well it’s a lot easier to just get a streaming subscription for a month, watch what you want and then cancel, compared to how it was in the days of cable, that being said because there is so much fragmentation of content between different platforms you might have to juggle through multiple websites just watch what you want
- Comment on Wait, you mean workers *don't* love the automatic dumbass machines that constantly threaten their jobs? 3 days ago:
Exactly my company is heavily pushing for full agentic development and while that does save time a bit, it comes at a cost, for one I’m no longer getting the deeper understanding of the codebase that I would if I did the work myself, and secondly the number of PRs that AI pushes out creates a review bottleneck because people can’t keep up, but management doesn’t care, they’d rather you push something out fast and if it breaks things it’s your job on the line not the AI subscription.
- Comment on Profit over people is a failed system 2 weeks ago:
I think with the push for full AI automation this will just get worse as they will try to replace as many humans as possible for profit in every industry and then have these desperate unemployed people reduced to bonded labourers

Thank God you didn’t mention the airline, I was really worried your vague post would have context in it

Thats what I’m worried about
- Comment on Take-Two CEO Says We'll All Be Streaming Our Games In 3 Years 4 weeks ago:
It’s only good for single player games, I tried multiplayer games on Stadia and it just didn’t work

How many times does cloud gaming need to fail before these corporate stooges give up on it
- Comment on They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back. 5 weeks ago:
This is why I always skip a few items at self checkout, if you don’t want to pay the cashier, then you’ll pay me instead

I’d rather deal with the people who are standing and ready to immediately get off than the lazy ones who won’t stand but then want to hold up all the other passengers as they lazily grab their shit from the overhead compartments
- Comment on Has anobody seen Odyssey? 1 month ago:
The Odyssey trailers did not appeal to me much, so I’m confused by the praise it’s getting, is it because it’s actually good or normies just giving it 10/10 because it’s a Nolan movie. I watched Oppenheimer in theater and realized I could have saved the cost of the ticket and watched it at home without losing much, how does this movie compare to that, I’ve liked most of Nolans other movies except Tenet

Love that Canadian south park character of Linus lol
- Comment on If you need a portable reader, is there any reason to choose an e-reader over your phone? 1 month ago:
One of the biggest improvement isn’t event the e-ink screen, it’s the fact that erraders can be much lighter than most phones, my old 6 inch kindle is so light that I can comfortable hold it for hours where as my phone becomes tiring after like 20 mins, that alone makes it worth it. And beyond that you get the weeks of battery life, so if you are serious about reading it’s definitely better than using your phone or a tablet

What the hell do they need a private jet for, that has to be a ego purchase, also they have the money for this but not for taking care of their employees, especially the ones getting harassed, I unsubscribed to their channel when they dropped that fake apology video with Advertisement, cant believe they are still profitable

Works similarly in video games as well lol
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Same, Vice City and San Andreas are the only GTA games I enjoyed, got GTA 5 for free on Epic played it for a bit and got bored and dropped it, I do not like the photo real look, GTA works best with the slightly cartoons, janky graphics of San Andreas, the photo real shit has no soul

- Comment on Suicide by obedience 3 months ago:
Intelligent people don’t join such professions and even if they tried these institutions intentionally filter them out. They need idiots who would jump into a meat grinder for someone else’s greed, just so they can feel powerful over someone for 5 mins

My first thought as well, def feels inspired

What time sloot are you trying to go for, they are usually cheaper before 4 pm, also look out for local indie theaters they are smaller but the tickets cost less and it’s a better atmosphere anyway

Slaps hands on knees… Welp
- Comment on As adults, do you still watch kids’ cartoons, either old or new? 3 months ago:
Like Saturday morning cartoons then no, I tried watching some old cartoons I grew up on like chip and dales recently on Disney+ and it made me realize how much they simplified the plots and dialogues for the kids, it was too boring for me. I do watch adult animation though and sadly so many people still think anything animated is just cartons for kids because of companies like Disney and Hana Barbera pushing that dynamic for all these years

This seems to be the case of software engineering industry in general, I’m hoping to get out of this field entirely in the next few years it’s become a shit hole
