My wife and I have no kids and live with family and we’re still dubious on retiring 😹😿
(granted part of this is due to losing all our money*2 during covid when some local businesses shuttered)
- Comment on Betrayal 1 week ago:
Until I read the comments I thought this was like, “move in to my apartment” and I was so fucking confused
- Comment on Why isn't the rest of the world doing anything about the USA? 1 week ago:
Gotcha. Well, in that case, I think everyone should be cutting off more. I want to see the US economy get decimated.
(I realize I’m coming off super aggro, but I just don’t see how else everyone here is going to wake up)
- Comment on Why isn't the rest of the world doing anything about the USA? 1 week ago:
As a US citizen, I would expect the rest of the world not do anything - the fuck have we done for them? And even if things had been done at some point, why rock the boat now?
Let the US collapse, boycott our exports, ridicule Trump when he travels. Fuck this country, let it burn.

Yeah I get that, but I feel like there has to be a tipping point…? Right? 😬

Red Alert was such great times.
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 2 weeks ago:
Trying to get a company off the ground so it’s all hours all the time right now, fortunately/unfortunately.
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 2 weeks ago:
Umm, I’m in my 40s and I do… 😬
Granted it isn’t like Cheers, I just need the change of scenery since I work from home 10-20 hours a day.
- Comment on Arby's steak bites 2 weeks ago:
I tried them the other day. They were fine, but I wouldn’t order them again. They were seasoned well, but the flavor profile is not my style. Almost too smokey and woody.
- Comment on See ya. 3 weeks ago:
Hmm, interesting. To be fair, I haven’t read it since HS and that was…decades ago. Based on what you said I might reread and reassess.
- Comment on See ya. 4 weeks ago:
Can I ask why? It was actually one of my favorites in school, so just curious for a differing opinion.
- Comment on Masters of timing, Microsoft: Just one day from Windows 10 EOL and apparently the official Media Creation Tool isn't working 4 weeks ago:
As a daily windows user for work…Win11 is a night and day difference to Win10 and while I didn’t love windows before, I absolutely loathe it now.
So, yes, I absolutely agree with you.

- Comment on How I View the US After 13 Years Living in Europe 5 weeks ago:
Grocery store consolidation towards major chains, capitalism, covid-driven price hikes that stayed, tariff-related price hikes, or price hikes that just use tariffs as an excuse have led to rocketing grocery prices here. It is hard to measure since I don’t track every item historically, but on the whole I’ve seen 200%-300% price increases on some items and probably a 150-200% general increase to my total grocery bill overall.
- Comment on Do you think The Boys is an accurate representation if real people had superpowers? 5 weeks ago:
If people had superpowers, vats of trauma and ego issues, and megacorps wanted to wrangle it for profit and control… absolutely yes.
This would totally happen in the US and other countries. 100%. No doubt.
- Comment on New EA Owners Hoping AI Will Cut Costs And Boost Profits, It's Claimed 1 month ago:
For me the beauty of some games is the knowledge of the writers involved in a story or the composers for the music.
If I know upfront it’s all AI generated I think that’d ruin it for me. But I realize that’s just my opinion.
- Comment on EA CEO says company values will 'remain unchanged' under the new ownership of Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner's investment firm 1 month ago:
lol values
- Comment on New EA Owners Hoping AI Will Cut Costs And Boost Profits, It's Claimed 1 month ago:
As someone who uses AI regularly for software engineering and ~2/3 of the time find it effective…
…there is no way it can produce quality games or gaming experiences.
I look forward to watching EA collapse. Get rekt.
- Comment on If you are in the US, and a karen threatens to call ICE on you, what's the best course of action? 1 month ago:
Kill them and hide the body.
Or call ICE on them. The last person I saw laughing about ICE activity is literally an overstayed-visa immigrant from Australia.

I didn’t realize KMart still existed

- Comment on The Software Engineers Paid To Fix Vibe Coded Messes 1 month ago:
This is the only thing that gives me solace for future gigs.
But it absolutely decimates junior devs and that really sucks.
- Comment on A month remains. 1 month ago:
If I could get an RDP solution as seamless and performant as Windows RDP + a window manager that can be controlled without a mouse a la Power toys - I’d probably switch full-time and stop dual booting.

- Comment on Posting for the "Now guys he was MURDERED! Don't celebrate!" Crowd 1 month ago:
The problem with this is that it will be used to increase violence against non-white cis males.
- Comment on My Bank Recently Changed Their Interface to Move Money Between Accounts 2 months ago:
My bank did the same and I totally moved money the wrong way and fucked up and over drafted.
Luckily I don’t get overdraft fees with my bank. But who the fuck designed putting destination first after years of it being second?
