  I own 5 guns now and their total cost (not counting accessories…) was less than my last desktop build.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bold words⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I wanted to exit tech and thought bars might work.

  They didn’t. Even loving what I did in bar-land, it ultimately led to substantial debt that I’ll be paying on for years.

  I was happier in general, but the financial viability was impossible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bold words⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s see…

  don’t sell bitcoin don’t sell doge don’t buy restaurant don’t date XYZ don’t date ABC don’t buy restaurant don’t quit place

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨POV: You walked into a corporate meeting of people who make 10x your salary⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s awesome!

  I tried to quit tech in 2020, started in food service, and then COVID hit…

  …so I’m still in tech.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Retro StarCraft prizes⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Super early on I mined probably 500+ bitcoin.

  And later in life sold them all at various points for maybe a total sum of $8k.

  So, yeah.

  Uh…anywhere? There are plenty of alternatives that are less bloated and less shitty and faster.

  I honestly don’t even know why people use it.

  ChatGPT is such garbage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The developers of PEAK, explaining how they decided on pricing for their game. ⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The only time this breaks down for me though is that I still struggle to pay $0.99 for a mobile app I use often sometimes. Really not sure what it is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just say the word⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Luckily she’s hardly that way. She’s actually got really bad guilt about it and has wanted to abandon things just to work a paying job so she can tell people that’s what she does.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just say the word⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’d be awesome.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just say the word⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, yes, she does a lot, but for opsec reasons I’m not really providing details.

  She just doesn’t get paid to do it, call it hobbies mostly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just say the word⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People feel weird about it, but it’s perfectly fine.

  My wife doesn’t work a paying job, we don’t have kids, but in almost every conversation when I’m meeting someone when they ask what my wife does and I tell them, they always follow it up with like, “Oh does she work from home?” or “Oh, does she sell stuff online?”

  It often breaks their brain that she doesn’t work a paid job.

  This is the first thing that legitimately surprises me. Huh. Okay…hmm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can we convince Trump voters to NOT vote for Trump (or Vance) in the 2026 midterms and the 2028 election?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Funny because I don’t think we’re making it to 2070+

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can we convince Trump voters to NOT vote for Trump (or Vance) in the 2026 midterms and the 2028 election?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

  Prepare for a continued (fraudulent) red wave. Arm yourselves.

  Far too many people think the midterms are a panacea, they aren’t. Please please take steps to organize and protect yourselves and your community.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please please please⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I would agree with a bet against OpenAI, but not Nvidia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do old people still remember their childhood? Do people just start losing their memories and their sense of self as they get older?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t really but have always been bad at that. My wife on the other hand has countless memories I think from as early as 3-4. I mostly forget everything before grade 5 or 6.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Not A Single Pixel" Of The New Ecco Game Will Be Generated By AI, Insists Series Creator⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  OMG NEW ECCO GAME

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do people actually do this?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, mine is my passport because I don’t want to have to unlock my phone to show it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We are all the same, y'all stop it.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Needs more bay leaf

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-Care⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  These would be good for dead ICE agent bodies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happened to look up "ghoul" on Wikipedia⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Android eclipses iOS in global market share. It isn’t even close.

  The only place iOS might be more widely used is in the shithole people call the US.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ICE Recruitment Ads No Longer on Spotify⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Too little too late, canceled and never going back. I hope Spotify eventually trends to zero.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who care about book⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, but back when I was on Meta, there were plenty of people that typed like this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The right FUCKING time to get TWO ram sticks damaged⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have two sticks of RAM worth $850 now that went bad but I was able to successfully RMA them - can you do that?
