  The Lowes near me does the same. Their only job seems to be trying to sell a shitty credit card, and I guess making sure nobody steals shit?

  But yeah, it feels like they put in self checkout to save money on labor, then lost money to theft, so now they pay people to just watch you do self checkout instead of having them do the checkout like they were doing in the first place.

  Could be. Whatever the case, I’m sure it will be cleaner than UE3. This game is on fucking life support with the wild dependencies to keep it relevant. The first month might be rough, but I think it’ll end up being a net improvement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  More or less, yes. I think their thought is that UE5 already has a dogshit reputation, so they’re bringing RL to UE6 which has a pretty big following and rich e sport community, so they can publicly showcase that the engine can easily handle fast, precise physics in an online game, without the need for a beefy CPU since UE3 has a pretty big thread bottleneck. Additional benefits are better utilization of GPUs and probably better incorporation of creators’ content, even on console. And if it works as well as it theoretically should, it’s proof of concept marketing for devs to hop onboard with using UE6 to make their games. It’s a commercial that itself should be profitable.

  But idk, we’ll see. Maybe it’ll be more dogshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Music just isn't good anymore⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You just gotta know where to look. Music is an industry, so the people who view songs as products will push their favored products in front of as many of their target demographic as possible. They want those tween-to-twenties locked down. They decide what’s cool, so if they like your products then you’re cool. So if you’re 40 and only listen to top 40 pop stations, you’re probably in for a bad time since none of that shit is really trying to court you in the first place. I’m in my mid-late 30s and I’m still discovering bands and current releases that I’m into. Just gotta look a little harder.

  I think that as we get older and consume more media, we experience a sort of fatigue of simple and easy structures, so we desire something more complex. But we grandfather in the stuff that we imprinted on in those formative years, and that’s why that younger demographic is targeted; they’ll keep coming back to their comfort media for their whole life.

  Pop music is (usually) the middle ground between nursery rhymes and something like djent or cool jazz or math rock or whatever other more nuanced genre you’re into. “Products” in those genres just aren’t gonna sell like boy bands do. Some pop music is actually good and complex, but it’s just not my thing and mostly never has been. I’m not trying to insult people who like Bad Bunny or Kendrick or whatever, but yeah Black Eyed Peas and Kid Rock fucking suck. Don’t @ me.

  The crossroads between femdom and humiliation kinks? Not really my thing, but I can definitely understand it. What I don’t understand is the simping (sexual and nonsexual alike) of anybody who will never even know they exist. Like, go ahead and rub one out for them, but realistically the only acknowledgement you might get from them is liking your comment on their tweet, and they won’t even remember it 20 minutes later. Defending any billionaire’s billions is straight up Stockholm syndrome behavior. Don’t get me wrong, I’d fuck the shit out of Taylor Swift (mostly for clout), but I’d give that opportunity up in a heartbeat in exchange for taxing the shit out of her.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You okay babe?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol there isn’t a union here and my coworkers are too brainwashed to understand that a union would benefit them.

  I would love for a Danish company to headhunt me and yank me over to Denmark. I don’t think that’s gonna happen though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You okay babe?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish I made 6% of the value of my labor. My power plant has $1M+ days sometimes and there’s only 30 of us running it. I make good money, but not $30k/day good. A couple months ago when we saw sustained deep freeze temperatures for like a week straight, we saw $5M+ days.

  We also work crazy hours for those situations. Last week I pulled 72, and the next couple weeks will be 84 hours. But at least they ordered pizza for us.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨America⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  American here. I use 24h time, vastly favor roundabouts over traffic lights, and I would rather poop at home with my bidet attachment than get paid to poop at work. I’m not exactly your average American, but there are probably millions of us. The world mostly hears the loud dipshits because they are loud and their thoughts are dipshit enough that people who hear them feel the need to tell somebody about what a stupid dipshit take they heard from some loud dipshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Iran attacks Oracle as retribution for sacked employees⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I miss planned shows with an satisfying ending in mind from the start. Too many shows overstay their welcome just because it keeps making a little money. Go out strong. Now I’m not saying that it would’ve been perfect, but what would’ve been wrong with making that cold war, imminent threat of nuclear annihilation plotline lead up to the series finale like 50 years ago? The current plotline is really just a Reagan plotline reboot with some tweaks, and it was already boring and stupid the first time. What’s that, trump is firing people again? The “you’re fired” guy is firing people again. Fucking snore.

  Maybe this experience is just a higher being’s analog of Doom and we’re just cells in a petri dish running an MMORPG version it. Stupidest simulation theory ever, but hey man, we’re sorta doing it so how stupid can it be?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That depends. Cheap bullshit microwaves just have a preloaded time and power level, but microwaves with humidity sensors inside will run based on that when you use the popcorn button. Sometimes there are other buttons that make use of that sensor too.

  But yeah, you’re really best off throwing it on like 4 minutes and standing there waiting for the popping to trail off and then manually stop it, usually like 3 minutes in. Depends on your microwave wattage.

  No, there are probably about 5-10M fans out there. I have a coworker who loves him.

  Nobody with an IQ above 90 likes Kid Rock. Nobody with any actual musical taste likes Kid Rock. Nobody worth having a conversation with likes Kid Rock.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this worth anything to a collector?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The Xbox version is worthless because of a glitch in the main quest that breaks the game halfway through. PlayStation runs fine, but with some lost frames near cannons for some reason. PC is the priceless version because you can unlock a porn mini game that wasn’t discovered at the time of rating it M; it was recalled since that content should’ve made it rated AO, so the launch M rated PC version is really hard to find. Check the SKU if you spot a PC copy. Not everybody knows, so you might be able to snag it for a few bucks from some unwitting mom on fb marketplace who’s just clearing out her dead son’s room.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump appears to be sleepy during the last cabinet meeting⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If he died in his sleep on live TV in the middle of these cabinet meeting tugjobs, there would still be people who believed that the Clintons killed him, but it would be way fewer than otherwise.

  I hope Joe Biden outlives him. Just to spite everybody who said that Biden was too old and senile but never pointed that same criticism at their old and senile blob.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The President of the United States of America⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re not supposed to wear a band shirt to the band’s show, and you’re really not supposed to wear a band shirt to the band’s show when you’re in the fucking band. Absolutely reeks of desperation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've heard New Yorkers are devastated⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This kills me every goddamn time. It’s absolutely neighborhood “friend” (choices limited by proximity) threatening to “Goldberg” you if you don’t let him “see your bike for a minute” but you don’t let him because he treated his own bike like shit to the point that it’s wobbly, bent, neglected garbage. He might be a bully if he were physically capable, but he’s not, so he just hurls insults and most people feel like it’d be unfair to kick his ass for it.

  And his mom is weirdly way too into Elvis Presley and makes him wear arm floaties in the pool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Banana⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I could be just parroting a myth, but aren’t they all genetic clones? So anything that evolves to attack one has evolved to attack all, potentially quickly wiping out just about all of them. And I think this happened with the banana we used before this one so now they’re rare and super expensive.

  Through standardizing the banana, we’ve removed biodiversity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon shops for diamonds⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  White sapphire is even cheaper than moissanite and most people don’t know any better. It’s a little less durable than diamond but looks a lot like a natural diamond. My wife cared more about the look than the actual pricetag, so I got what looks like thousands of dollars worth of ring for less than 10% of that. She’s clumsy, so if she bumps into something and the stone pops out and gets lost, no big deal.

  Discuss with your partner. Do not try to trick them by getting them a diamond alternative and then telling them it’s a diamond. A reasonable partner (imo) would rather put some of that money towards the wedding and/or marriage itself rather than into a ring. Get the wedding menu you really want or put it towards a house down payment or new furniture or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is exploited⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It varies. Usually 3-4 unless somebody takes PTO, but a few times per year there’s like a month of 6-7.

  I save that for when I have 24 hours off to flip from day shift to night shift or vice versa. Oh yeah, I guess I forgot to mention that the 12 hour shifts frequently rotate. Fuck me, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is exploited⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My version:

  24 hours in a day
  12 hour shift
  1 hour commute each way, so 2 hours
  1 hour cooking/eating/cleaning
  1 hour showering, getting dressed, getting ready for the next day.
  Uh oh, bedtime if I want to have a chance at 8 hours of sleep.
  1 hour walking the dog and playing with her. 7 hours of sleep possible.
  Fuck it, I’ll get groceries next week I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't understand streamer fans⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A conundrum⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And so now you’ve learned that you need to regularly flush the water heater and change out the anode rod every few years, right? I just bought my first house. Hot water wasn’t working right. Heating element was dead. Why? There was so much scale that the lower element was covered in it. Replaced the element, flushed as much out as I could reasonably remove, and then flushed again six months later while replacing the anode rod. This keeps the corrosion at bay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chirp in Fahrenheit⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fahrenheit used the temperature of the human body to create his system, which makes a lot more sense than other systems.

  What is 0°F in terms of the human body? I’m guessing that 100°F is supposed to be a normal human body temperature, but in reality that will vary from person to person and everybody I’ve met is usually 97-99 unless they have a fever.
  In Celsius/Centigrade, 0° is the freezing point of water at 1 atmosphere of pressure, and 100° is the boiling point.
  In Kelvin, 0 is absolute zero, and it scales with Celsius/Centigrade because anchoring it to water just makes sense.

  Fahrenheit is fucking silly and people only defend it because it’s what they were familiar with growing up, so they teach the next generation the same thing, thus perpetuating the cycle of tradition for the sake of tradition.
