Exactly, if I like something I try to keep it on the down low, or only spread it in circles where I know it will be similarly appreciated, the moment a majority of the people are into something, that thing will now get subjected to external influences that require it to be liked by everyone and most people are mediocre so the thing moves towards mediocrity

It’s just a meme because white people can barely handle salt and pepper, I’ve never had an issue with taco bell but then again I rarely eat from fast food Mexican places when the real stuff is readily available

If your stomach feels bloated and you can feel the bubbling, don’t even think about it, just rush to the nearest toilet
- Comment on The sheer amount of websites that are completely unusable without JavaScript 2 days ago:
A lot of this interactivity is complete bullshit, especially on sites that are mostly just for static data like news articles, the JS is there for advertisement and analytics and social media and other bullshit

Maybe that was the case where you grew up, the world is a large place and people live different lives, I grew up on bottleg and official CD’s and DVD’s, physical comics and novels, mp3 songs downloaded from limewire and torrented movies, friends and family would exchange flash drives and other media regularly for new content, all my content was both curated and organically found and diverse, and I consumed content from all over the world and my life was better for it. And I still rely on some of these methods to get my media, tech companies benefit from taking away ownership of things from people and packaging it as convenience, I’m not falling for that, I’m building my own home server now to host my own open source apps and services, it’s not even that difficult anymore.

The same as it does at any other company, just lip service, but now they won’t even do that
- Comment on And they even get a seizure when you take their ipads away 3 days ago:
Saying downloaded media or physical media collections are hard and fall apart is illogical considering that’s how everyone on the planet used to engage with media before internet streaming became such a huge thing
- Comment on And they even get a seizure when you take their ipads away 3 days ago:
So them put some effort into acquiring good health media for your kid to watch and put that into the tablet and remove all other apps so they can only engage with content that has been pre veted by you, parenting takes effort

Feeding your kid some artifical as hell pre-made sandwich that comes in a plastic bag is definately an American thing

The vast majority of the time I’ve every asked any worker what is popular or recommended at their restaurant I either get a confused or annoyed look and some generic recommendation, which makes sense most of these positions are exhausting and pay shit, having to decide recommendations for some customer is extra work they don’t need
- Comment on Informative review 6 days ago:
They always recommend something that’s quick and easy to make and makes the restaurant more money, there’s no way for a server to know what you would like, do your own research in advance before ordering somewhere it takes 10 Mins at most
- Comment on Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot summoned to appear before French court in relation to harassment trial 1 week ago:
Seems to be a consistent pattern across all types of media, I mean look at all the allegations against people in Hollywood, that came out during the me to movement, and still Roman Polanski gets a standing ovation, more and more it feels to me that most people don’t give a shit about anything other than their self interest in this world.

- Comment on Why aren't you creating more workers?? 1 week ago:
Oh yeah I forgot about that, that is messed up, I hope this period of madness ends soon and we can get some normalcy back
- Comment on Why aren't you creating more workers?? 1 week ago:
What, are you using the word places as a metaphor or literally, cause I’ve never heard of a location where you have to have more kids than you can afford, other than maybe villages where kids are seen as free labor
- Comment on Why aren't you creating more workers?? 1 week ago:
Yeah didn’t think about that but that’s probably another 2 hours of energy spent on driving, because everything is spread out and there’s no good public transportation options outside of specific areas

Same dink is my dream but hard to find partners who are into it, or who you like and who like you

So that’s why suddenly there’s all this interest in banning porn
- Comment on Why aren't you creating more workers?? 1 week ago:
14 hours leaves you barely 2 hours of personal time in a day. That’s barely enough to just eat and maybe relax but then if you have 3 kids even that time is gone taking care of them. How and why would anyone put themselves through this, like after the first or second kid wouldn’t your own limits become apparent

Yes that’s the intention but they got the order wrong, it would make more sense if it was written as number of steps < 500

Can you play this game sitting down, I have a quest 3 but my new apartment bedroom is tiny and crowded so I can’t really play any games that require movement, so now I just use to watch videos sadly

At my new company my entire team is Ukrainian, I wish I could join their chats, they seem to be having fun
- Comment on Charging to tour rental properties... 3 weeks ago:
I’m talking about empty apartments and I assume someone comes to check up the state of the apartment once a day or more
- Comment on Charging to tour rental properties... 3 weeks ago:
Why do we even need people to show us apartments. My best experience when looking for a my last apartment was a place that had a automated system, you scan your drivers license for verification, their app gives you the address and the time to visit, when you get there it gives you a lockbox code that will contain the keys to the apartment, you check the apartment out and return the keys to the lockbox on your way out, this should be the default for every rental apartment visit. Every agent I had to deal with was less than useful, this industry needs to die.

And bam, new laws come out that makes it illegal for more than X people who aren’t related to each other to share a home.
This is actually a thing in many places so people can’t do what you just described, isn’t American Freedumb so beautiful

I just use YT music in brave browser on my iPhone cause it blocks all Ads and I had a app that did that for Android revanced I think, works for now, someday I’d prefer to setup my own self hosted music server and then only use YT music, Spotify etc to discover new songs
