Same.
Such a good jam.

Thanks for the ad hominem response.
I will take your comments under advisement exactly as much as I have respect for your opinion.
Have a good day.

As a person who did this for a job in my youth, may I first say, fuck you and the horse you rode in on.
As a worker, collecting stray carts that people left around the parking lot ate up the most time and was the least productive time I’ve ever spent while working. Also, at the store I worked at was fairly popular, on busy days, just collecting carts from the corrales took up enough time that I didn’t really have time left over to make up for you being a lazy asshole.
As a consumer, I put away other people’s stray carts, not only for the reasons above but because I don’t want the cart demon to direct the carts into my car and cause it any damage. I also don’t want my discarded cart to end up causing damage to anyone else’s car. So fuck you for creating an easily avoidable problem that has the potential to damage my property. You suck.
Objectively, returning your cart is the correct, and proper path to take. However, nobody will arrest you, or fine you for not doing it. It is purely voluntary, but universally recognized as the right thing to do. Since you do not do it, what does that mean about you as a person? I think it means you’re a dickhead.
Stop being selfish and lazy, then justifying it with “someone gets paid to do that”. No, that’s not the reason. The reason is that you’re a terrible person, an asshole, and a dickhead.
So I reiterate: fuck you, and the horse you rode in on.

- Comment on What we all want deep down 1 week ago:
I feel like this is obvious.
Honestly, I don’t give a shit if I have to work for that security, but the job markets have gone to absolute garbage. Nobody has a lifetime career at a single employer anymore. Employers don’t do raises, and just rinse through the entire employable workforce with no care in the world because there’s always some bright eyed college grad willing to take the job for less than the person who has it now, so raises don’t serve companies. Long term experience and knowledge is both highly desirable, and completely worthless.
If you’re trying to get a job for anything beyond every level, you must have years and years is experience with the specific products and software that company uses to manage their company. Experience you could only have if you’ve worked there before.
Entry level positions have wages so low it’s barely better than working at McDonald’s.
The world is fucked.
- Comment on Electoral politics doesn't get the job done 2 weeks ago:
Sad but true.
Not all Americans called for it, just very vocal ones. The people that were fine with the lockdowns and restrictions were not represented in the debate because they were sheltering in place at home trying to keep more people from dying to the virus.

- Comment on How do I realistically get out of the US? 4 weeks ago:
Fair enough.
- Comment on How do I realistically get out of the US? 4 weeks ago:
This is what I would suggest.
Looking for grants and bursaries for the effort is something that should always happen. You may get lucky, or not, either way it will probably cost less than the same from an American university.
I mean, I haven’t done this, but it seems logical since OP is looking to further their education.
- Comment on How do I realistically get out of the US? 4 weeks ago:
Those that want to leave are probably not the ones you want to avoid.
IMO, anyone who is awake and aware of the situation in any capacity, and can think rationally has, or is, considering leaving, or has left already.
It’s the people who agree and are happy with what is happening that you should probably avoid, and they don’t want to leave.
- Comment on LPT: always be an asshole so you don't miss great opportunities in life 4 weeks ago:
Sadly true, also the reason that most c-levels are also assholes. They want power and money and being an asshole is damn near a requirement to do so.
- Comment on Anon makes a troubling connection 5 weeks ago:
You can buy often that comes with more drama than it’s worth, and/or, isn’t consistent in terms of being able to have someone to be intimate with.
There are exceptions here, but they’re relatively uncommon.
Not saying that people in relationships can be intimate with their partner whenever they want, but I am saying you have more opportunities to be intimate, as long as both people are willing to do so at the same time.
- Comment on Anon makes a troubling connection 5 weeks ago:
Maybe, but also, relationships take a lot of time and effort and sometimes your significant other is just crazy and you have to break it off.
It seems like getting a real-enough experience with a “real doll” and then not having to deal with another person or their drama, may appeal to some.
Not me, I’ve been in a long term relationship for going on 10 years now. I can just take my bias out of the discussion and consider other perspectives.
- Comment on Anon makes a troubling connection 5 weeks ago:
Given the existence of products like “real doll”, there’s some merit to it happening to humans.
I don’t know enough about any of it since I’m in a relationship with someone who has a pulse, and I like it that way.

- Comment on Let's discuss: Assassin's Creed 1 month ago:
I had to stop playing when I saw the review for AC 3 (I think) from Zero punctuation.
He pointed out that the quests were almost entirely “gofer” quests… You know, you go over there and get that, then go fer that other thing and go…
I started the game not long after and I have to say, he was right. And every time I was given a quest to go somewhere only to talk to someone with little to no reason for doing so other than, I have nothing better to do in the game… When that happened, I heard his voice in my head talking about how annoying gofer quests were.
It annoyed me, and I stopped playing as a result. Never got past the first chapter.

That’s fair, different games for different people.
I thoroughly enjoy satisfactory (obviously), but that doesn’t mean that everyone will.
- Comment on Anon gives a piracy history lesson 1 month ago:
I mean, yeah. More or less.
Compare with the music industry, where there are a good number of streaming services, and pretty much all of them offer the same selection of music, all of it.
I don’t think I know of anyone who pirates music at all.
The answer is greed. They make more being vertically integrated doing their own streaming than they would make taking a cut from a third party to host the same content.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
- Comment on What games have you sunk the most time into? 1 month ago:
Yeah, I have a ton of time into HL/HL2/CS:GO/Audiosurf/PvZ
Pretty much all of that was lost.
I did a quick Google search and according to some commenters on websites, the great reset was around 2010.
I’ve been on steam since the early days, I think I installed it around the time that blue shift came out? I forget. But back then, if you had any HL2 title, and you put that into steam, you would get what is now known as “the orange box” (more or less). So, yeah, I got a bunch of valve games basically free and I’ve only expanded that collection.
Recently I’ve tapered my spending on games because life/work/family doesn’t allow me a lot of time to play. Which is probably why I like satisfactory so much. If I get an hour, I can build my factory, save it half complete and go back and continue building later.
The biggest thing that I feel like SF has going for it, is that they give you all the tools, tell you the objectives and let you figure everything else out. You have 100% control over how you accomplish the task at hand. You can save/quit anytime you would like, and there’s no demands to get things done in a particular timeframe.
You can save halfway through a build, and you’ll come right back to where you left off. Most games now-a-days are match based, once you’re in a match, you feel obligated to finish the match, and there’s seasons or limited time objectives that you must play a minimum amount in order to even have a chance of getting… There’s just so much pressure, micro-transactions, and effort required.
- Comment on What games have you sunk the most time into? 1 month ago:
A nontrivial amount of my gaming time was reset by steam around 2010… IDK why, but there are games on my steam account that I know I’ve sunk over 100 hours into that show zero hours.
Right now, one of my highest is satisfactory, sitting around 1500+ hours.
- Comment on What games have you sunk the most time into? 1 month ago:
Only 150 for satisfactory?
You’ve barely even started playing that game.

This is more like it.

Ha. That’s just how I am. I didn’t notice that I did that.

No.
- Comment on Diamond market 1 month ago:
I think it’s a modification of “360 noscope” which is a gaming term for an unexpected change in a game stemming from fps games like counter strike. The term basically relates to a high skill/high luck shot usually involving a quick rotation and/or flick shot, where you didn’t use the scope of the weapon to help improve accuracy, but made the shot anyways.
Basically saying it was a highly unlikely outcome…
The “nopost” which replaces “noscope” is probably their way of referencing the above while making it relevant to the context (a post).
I’ll admit, the words, taken at face value, do not make a lot of sense. The entire thing relies on a general understanding of the 360 noscope meme.
