Are you maniacs just getting in the shower and then turning on the water? Who doesn’t turn it on first and wait the 10s for it to warm up?
- Comment on Games can no longer use virtual currencies to disguise the price of in-game purchases in the European Union 4 weeks ago:
At least at a casino you can get something of value. The games effectively reward you in company script.
- Comment on Welp. 5 weeks ago:
I mean English is sorta the science lingua franca so I imagine most of the technical words would be lone words if they showed up in a paper first.

Orwell - "the party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command”
Huxley - “the perfect dictatorship would have the appearance of a democracy, but would be basically a prison without walls, in which the prisoners would not even dream of escaping. It would essential be a system of slavery where, through consumption of entertainment, the slaves will live their servitude”
I would agree

- Comment on Good morning I choose redneck air conditioner. 2 months ago:
It rolling off the dash is the least of people’s problems. Depending on the location it might just get launched into your face at 100 miles an hour by an airbag deploying.
Whenever I see people with their feet up on the dash I know they have never seen a person after an air bag has hit them .

Tasting is how you’re supposed to do it.

- Comment on Anon buys a TV without researching 3 months ago:
Honestly despite the enshitification those TCL Roku TVs are/were some of the better value smart TVs.
I bought a Sony on sale at Costco and it’s a massive piece of shit. Randomly reboots, won’t turn on, requires a factory reset every month to keep working. Android TV is a way worse experience than the Roku stuff I’ve used.
- Comment on Apple opts everyone into having their Photos analyzed by AI 3 months ago:
They (and every other tech company) have been doing this type of thing for nearly 20 years. You might see some whinging about it in some corners of the Internet, like here, but most people don’t know or don’t give a shit.
It sucks.

- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 5 months ago:
Yes and the reason is because millions of lines of production code were written and it isn’t worth rewriting them.
Plenty of languages around now that don’t have 30 years of baggage and the specter of Oracle hanging over it.
Now a days many businesses choose Go.
- Comment on Withdrawal is going to make people go mad 5 months ago:
I’ve been saying this. I’m curious to see who wins out. In this case it’s populist bullshit vs American coffee retailers. Let’s see who comes out on top.

Part of that joke though is that they’re both exactly the same which is of course a false premise.
