You do you.

Basic financial education is a tough one.

What’s more absurd is that there are people willing to pay that.
- Comment on Screw Uber! 1 week ago:
I know this is satire, but part of me is afraid that it might not be.
- Comment on acceptable screws 5 weeks ago:
Joke aside, curious about what the percentage distribution is on those. I won’t be surprised if the first two together have like 90% or more.

I’d be a bit worried if this isn’t someone who’s just being sarcastic.
- Comment on I had some that looked exactly like this 3 months ago:
I haven’t seen those anywhere around me - must be a US thing. I guess the whole temporary thing is more of a “we don’t have permission to build anything permanent and this can be dismantled if needed”, not necessarily “this will be here temporarily”.

Lentils.
- Comment on Anon notices what they've taken from us 3 months ago:
Not really. A mid range phone is now easily $400-500 or more; that used to be the price range for flagships not that long ago.

I’d honestly be impressed by a freezer that’s been running since '97.
- Comment on Anon notices what they've taken from us 3 months ago:
Multiple camera modules are what gives you a bit of versatility, but shoving in more and more modules is not what pushes technical progress. What annoys me is that this is part of what contributes to the ever increasing end user price. When was the last time you saw a new phone costing the same as the previous year’s model? Again, I’d be fine with a top-specced phone even if it only has one camera.
Side question: how do dedicated cameras improve each year? Hint: it’s not by putting more camera modules in.

That’s just an excuse. Yes, a waterproof phone is easier to manufacture if it has less holes, but in practice it’s only around half of the phones that are waterproof, and even those that are are rated at like 1 m / 30 minutes max.
- Comment on Anon notices what they've taken from us 3 months ago:
I might’ve used all of them at one point, but again I’d be fine with just one - after all it’s a smartphone, not a dedicated camera. Personally it annoys me that manufacturers have started shoving multiple cameras not just into high end models but also into midrange and even low end ones - whatever I pick, I end up paying for stuff I don’t necessarily use. I’d be happy to buy a high end device with just one camera with normal or wide-ish lens - but nobody is selling that.

I can see the pain in the eyes of the support fella.
- Comment on As if the tip actually goes to the dashers. 4 months ago:
That’s just the opposite of how tipping is supposed to work. If I’m happy with the service, I’ll tip (and I’m far, far from the US - in a place where you don’t get frowned upon if you don’t tip) - and by “happy” I don’t even mean something extraordinary - but I can’t know if I will be happy in advance. Moreover I’d prefer tipping in cash as opposed to through an app - this way I know the money can go directly in the worker’s pocket, not in the company’s.

Does it work with omitting the year though?
- Comment on This person's rejection reason 4 months ago:
“Choose a better date to be born on next time, okay?”
- Comment on This person's rejection reason 4 months ago:
That’s because they’re using the wrong date format.

- Comment on GTA 6’s Publisher Says Video Games Should Theoretically Be Priced At Dollars Per Hour 5 months ago:
Can I counteract that with “then maybe you should release finished products at the initial public release date”?
- Comment on The Aliens did a little trolling 5 months ago:
That might be kind of convenient actually - racist assholes of all colours will label themselves and probably kill eachother while (hopefully) most of the population’s foreheads will read “None”.

Plot twist: it’s generated code for the purpose of the joke.
- Comment on This concept for budget double decker airline seating 6 months ago:
Yeah, I would assume so. It was kind of a rhetorical question - this looks very much staged.

Why does she look so happy?
- Comment on Apparently, it's not a gaggle. 6 months ago:
The word “homeowner” contains the word “meow” in it; now you can’t read “homeowner” in any other way.

At least that’s not something that goes obsolete in 4-5 years like many things tech.
