Yeah corpos that were run by boomers who killed pensions to increase profits.
- Comment on Are they crazy? We don't have money for anything... 4 days ago:
Boomers got pensions, then killed them off and barely paid anything into social security while sucking it dry. They get to double/triple dip into retirement with pensions, SS and 401k as a cherry on top. Younger gens basically fund that while the SS collection age keeps getting higher. So we are saddled with 401ks because that means our future is tied to the market creating a financial incentive not to push back to hard on the system.

Pretty sure lots of old games still look great. Why else would there be modern pixel art games still coming out? The graphics of yore may not have been advanced but they had an art style which is more important than graphics and more than most modern AAA games.

Ummmm 4k is way less important at couch distance compared to desk distance. Most of us don’t have TVs that occupy the same field of view from the couch as a monitor does at the desk. For example I have a 32 inch monitor at my desk 1.5 feet away and a 65 inch TV about 10 feet away. Sure the TV has 4x the viewing area but my viewing distance is more than 4x so the picture is not as crisp.
- Comment on Wages never caught up with costs 1 week ago:
Yup thats how they do it. I went to a liberal arts college like that in the mid 2000s. 20k scholarship out of 30k tuition/boarding. Next year it was up to 35k. Year after would have been 40k, schalorship did not increase. Transferred to state school no scholarship but it kept my out of pocket about 12k.

Yes happy tears.
- Comment on It's gay to brush your teeth 3 weeks ago:
This is a problem. I did this. Every dude I know has done this. Not because I’m a “real man” but because I’m lazy and was young so didn’t think I needed to go.
Had a health scare a few years ago now I have regularly scheduled dentist appoiments and physicals. No more screwing around.

I had a gf near in tears when she didn’t find skid marks in my boxers.

Are we not doing phrasing anymore?
- Comment on What does "Woke" mean to you? 1 month ago:
15 years ago when woke was more a liberal word I just thought it was dudes pretending to be feminists to get laid. Now that conservatives took it over, they seem to use it as a label for anything they don’t like. So that means anything woke is now good.
Its kinda like how conservatives used to call the left snowflakes but now we call them snowflakes because they throw temper tantrums about the smallest things.

They just built a shiny new drug infested sex den near me. I keep meaning to see what books they have available to check out when I stop by for the drug orgies.

“Scotty Doesn’t Know” is such a banger of a song too. I couldn’t find it anywhere to download when the movie came but you could play it on the website for Eurotrip, so I recorded the shitty stream to put on my MP3 player.
- Comment on Microsoft Teams status 1 month ago:
I have teams open all day at my PC and on my work phone because that’s how I get contacted to fix things. Annoyingly domain accounts no longer log us into teams so I have to reauthentice it 3 times a week. Worse still is every few months they’ll reset the settings to default so that if I have teams open on my PC all notifications play there. My PC is always muted and I rely on my phone for notifications because I’m usually walking around the building and remoting back to the cube. So I’ll go through days where I’m pissed off because I’m not getting notifications only to remember to go check the settings on the PC to find out yup its set to only play notifications there.

Thankfully no one seems to care about teams status at work. If I’m on teams it means I’m not working.

Were you just born an asshat or did something make you this way? You were actively pro violence against glassholes earlier in the thread. So clearly you think it is the answer… as it has been to many problems throughout human history…
- Comment on definitely not recording! 1 month ago:
I agree but would like my xr glasses with no camera to be safe from the punching. They are just a dumb display to watch movies and play games when I travel.

Historically violence has always been the answer.
- Comment on What is it like being drunk? How much control do you have? 1 month ago:
I’m a simple man. Mostly when drunk I want to hug dogs and listen to Guided by Voices. I don’t know if this helps.
- Comment on Dare to dream 2 months ago:
Right over the last 5 years I think I bought about 4-5k of ram and storage. Which is a lot but I think at today’s rates I could flip it for 50k. I’m extremely tempted to do so cause prices have to come down right, but knowing my luck this will all be worth 500k in a few years and I’ll never be able to buy it again.

- Comment on When Windows users find the Threadiverse 2 months ago:
I had someone tell me you can’t do work on Linux… If pretty much the entire internet, your router, your TV, your phone, your NAS, your car etc run on Linux then what is real work? They defined it as content creation and specifically adobe apps which can’t argue don’t run on Linux, but also are not what I consider “work.”
- Comment on How tf do people who work 8-5 M-F get any life done? 2 months ago:
I did the over night shift for 3 or 4 years. Those were lost years for sure. Its been much better doing 6am to 6pm. I still need the first day off to just relax, but it doesn’t feel like a wasted day anymore. Just a lazy one.
- Comment on How tf do people who work 8-5 M-F get any life done? 2 months ago:
I do 12 hour shifts, 3 days on 3 off then 4 on 4 off pay periods. The 3 days off don’t feel like enough so I don’t know how people work with 2 days off. 12 hour shifts do make it hard to do anything when I get home though.

The one frequent scenario I can think of off the top of my head is merging onto the highway. At least once a week it feels like I’m stuckbehingd someone trying to merge onto the highway 10mph under the speed limit making it more dangerous for everyone stuck behind them.

They do look very similar. Wouldn’t have questioned it if I hadn’t just played chrono trigger.
