  I like to hope it was intentional to expose the fraud

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Screw MS⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I would make them get me a different laptop

  that’s a serious ergonomic issue to not have CTRL where it should be. I am not even joking. my RSI wouldn’t let me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hey look, a giant sign telling you to find a different job⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah, I’ve been with my current company as we’ve grown from like a million dollars in sales to 20 times that

  at a million dollars in sales, it was like five of us doing everything and we all worked so much to get it all done and build things to grow as time went on. so while I think this is opposite of what Jenny is trying to convey, a million dollar company would likely require no callouts at critical times.

  now, two points:

  1. that doesn’t make it ok. in my situation, we all enjoyed it and we’re compensated for it. that’s why it worked.
  2. a multi-million dollar company, with like 50+ employees, that’s I think what Jenny is trying to get at, real “big company” shit — in which case, a proper company such as that can handle a few callouts, else they are by definition not a company with their shit together

  I wonder how many of my health issues are because of injuries being left untreated (professionally).

  like I tore my leg open on gravel last summer, nice big patch completely gone down below the hair follicles. just cleaned it out when I got home a couple hours later and kept flushing it multiple times a day and putting antibiotic cream on it, for a few weeks until it eventually healed over. took forever because of how deep and large it was, also I guess I’m just older and heal slower now. it definitely was at least a little bit infected for the week or two. it healed itself though

  but, like, I’ve done that all my life. how fucked up is my body because of that. good thing was I got my overdue tetnis shot a few months earlier when I did go to emerge for something else that wouldn’t stop bleeding

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.S. consumers are so fucked up, that they put more than $1 billion on buy-now, pay later services during Cyber Monday⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  the thing I don’t understand with so many people being paycheque to paycheque is that, like, you need to come up with the money sooner or later. so just don’t fucking spend it on what you don’t absolutely need, and build up some savings.

  like, I get that some people are literally hand to mouth, I’m not talking about them. I’m talking about the people with a 2 year old car and newer clothing who claim paycheque to paycheque but use BNPL schemes. that’s just shitty financial decisions. if you’re financing every gift season, maybe… just save up a bit of money before each gift season by cutting back temporarily on something else? or do you like paying extra to be in debt unnecessarily? you clearly have the capacity to repay the loan, so just save for it ahead of time and pay less overall because no fees…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We can play that game too⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  if you guys don’t have much competition, you should start treating those customers fairly

  and by fairly I mean treat them how they treat you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon does a drug bust⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think it’s like external ads, just ads for Minecraft stuff hosted/promoted by Microsoft. idk, I don’t pay attention to them and try to avoid bedrock. but yes, you have to pay for each version of the game, around $30 each

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon does a drug bust⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  nah dude Minecraft is great. sandbox game that allows creativity and problem solving and whatnot.

  now, the microsoft-approved and promoted servers and ad content, fuck all that shit with bedrock. but basic Minecraft is great. just gotta get your kid onto basic java and away from bedrock where they serve you ads and shit

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon does a drug bust⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Microsoft enshittified the fuck out of it

  base Minecraft is still there (except in bedrock, bedrock is super enshittified with official servers and ads and stuff and they make it difficult to connect to your own self hosted server, it’s fucked)

  but java, you can still play just like old times, for the most part. shittier launcher. more login annoyances. but that’s about it in my experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon does a drug bust⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  yep, do what you want, but don’t fuck things up for other people

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I support this⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  see, a reasonable person just leaves a gap. but some people think that if they cram the belt full, the cashier will somehow process everything more quickly.

  same people who glare at you when you don’t start loading items when the instant free space appears on the belt. like mf I got a cart full of stuff, and I know how to unpack onto the belt so they get packed back into the cart neatly, I need two feet to start laying out the big things. mfs want you to start the belt out with bananas and shit

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I support this⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  so the cashier knows where your items end and can start the payment portion of checking out, getting you out the door more quickly

  I don’t put the divider up for the benefit of the person behind. I put it up for me. well, and also to be nice. but it benefits me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I support this⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  this isn’t like somebody left a cart blocking the sidewalk in front of the store lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you cheat in video games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  having those discussions about DS on the internet a decade ago is when I realized how many people on the internet were literally just children

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you cheat in video games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  no, I mod them

  there is no such thing as cheating in a personal game

  don’t tell the people on Don’t Starve forums, but save mods are totally okay and not at all “cheating and ruining the game”. you know what ruins the game? losing my several hundred days of progress because I didn’t actually pause the game when my dog started making puking sounds and I ran away from my computer

  also, Minecraft automation - sure, I could let my server run overnight, or I could just directly give myself the materials the farm would have produced in 12 hours and save the power consumption. ofc I validate all my farms before I do any of that, and I don’t give more resources than they produce.

  yeah that was a neat video

  I want to throttle every microsoft employee. I have enough issues with the CAD program itself, I don’t need fucking office365 and explorer freezing and crashing nonstop

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think my friends (the ones that aren’t in the same field anyways) would be surprised by how much of my time is sitting around doing shit that a junior should be doing instead of more important engineering-type stuff

  “so you just got paid $100 to sit around and watch an intermittently frozen software program for a couple hours and clicking a button every now and then, while answering questions you’ve answered two or three times before in your message history with this person, and sat in on three meetings that you didn’t even need to speak during, and you have absolutely no work product to show for the past two hours of your time yet?”

  “yep. I’m gonna blow my brains out if this continues”

  they won’t get along. one has the next room in darkness, and the other in harsh white light.

  it could never work.

  they’re just a really nice person

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A cool feature/mechanic you want to see in games again⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  mind sharing a few titles?

  I stopped looking into much new stuff beyond word of mouth, last I played was Neither, I think, and it was very disappointing that that didn’t go anywhere. neat that you can still run a server, though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I purge them as often as I can, but my phone has some tab groups that just stay up perpetually because it’s convenient, and it’s not like they’re actually all loaded at once. for example I have a few tab groups on vehicle maintenance topic or two that I am slowly working on. chrome on android has tab groups that basically functions as a favourites menu

  but yeah on a computer, I have about a dozen core tabs for work that stay pinned on one window at all times, and then I add 1-3 other windows throughout the day as I work. one or two might just be a couple tabs each for comparing stuff. one might be a temp window for tasks somebody asked me to look into when I have a couple spare minutes. one might be a bunch of tabs doing research on something. but they either get processed and completed, or written down to deal with another day, I don’t keep them up until the next day unless I’m really just over work that day lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Drama⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  making mods anonymous was such a mistake

  mods like this should be able to be harassed endlessly

  I say this having been a mod of several subs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How could you do this to me?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  because they don’t give a fuck about you

  can’t wait to move to a new system

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  • because I’m working on multiple tasks at once, and some of those tasks require comparing things like data sheets or products or reading multiple documents

  • because I don’t want to dig up the thing I was looking at yesterday with a 10-tab group, but I also ran out of time yesterday to complete the task

  • because I can and it’s convenient

  • because I keep something open until I have dealt with it, so it functions as a task list

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I dunno⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I appreciate the effort
