That scam works well for AWS. My last company was a very small software dev (120 people) and spent $6M a year on AWS. Can you imagine the infra you could build with that much money!? And still have plenty left over to pay a small team to be responsible for it.
- Comment on What if you legiitimately don't remember the alphabet that well during a field sobriety test because you never use it? 11 hours ago:
I got thrown in the drunk tank in college solely for failing the recite the alphabet backwards and mixing M and N, cuffed me the second I mixed it up. They had nothing else on me, was riding my bike straight down the sidewalk after returning library book in the wee hours. Performed the roadside aerobics perfectly.

I honestly think most of these bugfuck crazy views stem from we humans not having evolved to deal with the modern world. People feed us the simple answers we crave.

How does a man make it to 26 without slipping, tripping and falling in some pussy?! By 32: Had two girls I never met come knocking one night. Neighbor dropped their cousin on me, two nights in a row. Had a stripper I’d blown off the night before barge in my room and have her way with me. Weirdly, I don’t think I’ve ever met and immediately bedded someone I met at a bar, despite 2,000 nights in bars. :( Maybe once? Much of my youth is a blur.
For context; I’m short and scrawny, not exactly Brad Pitt here fellas. Is all it takes showering, basic hygiene, dressing decently and not being a weirdo?!

Same reason lemmy downvotes Sxan for using a thorn.
Lemmy: We support diversity! The weirder you are the better! We accept all people!

I used to say lemmy was too small for bots to bother us. Apparently I was wrong.
- Comment on WHY??? 4 days ago:
Did not know that so I looked on Google.
AI Overview That statement is incorrect. Drilling a countersink bit into plywood (or any wood) produces a smooth, conical hole, not a hexagonal one.
Followed by every article talking about why the bits make hexagons, with videos and pictures.

Anyway, I’m not baggin’ on young people for rent ills. Were you able to read, I’m saying they should be extra pissed off.

Little off topic, but I remember my college roommate and I watching a TV ad around '91 or so, “Oh no! Ground beef again? What will I tell my husband!?” We. Were. Screaming.
“Fuck you bitch! We’re on our last can of boiled carrots and frying flour in the last of our oil and topping it with the last of our ketchup!” We were picking pecans off the roof and frying them in the last of our butter and seasoning salt. (A fine meal!) We were scheming on swiping a duck while we picked black walnuts at the campus pond. I’d get dressed nicely and shoplift our Sunday meals.
Kids today: We. Are. Literally. Dying. McDonald’s is SO expensive!
It’s not that we olds think you deserve to suffer because we did, but… we did… Kinda hard to entertain modern complaints.
Don’t start me on rent though. That place was the attic of a 107-yo house that was literally tilting over, held together by wires in the basement. Landlord was not a smart man to begin with, utterly senile by the time we met him. As in, worse that Trump senile. Not even trying to be funny. Still, $250/mo.
$600 in 2025 money, exactly our Habitat for Humanity mortgage today. Please fucking call Habitat and merely ask when the next meeting is! It’s almost certainly not what you think. One phone call changed my life.
This will piss you off. I got turned down for a lease in the 90s because landlords wanted you to take home 3-4x the rent. If you couldn’t make rent in 7-11 days, you were a poor risk.

They’re cool to swim with! Water’s plenty clear where they hang. Ex-gf was a diver and had a side hustle taking people swimming with manatees near the warm springs where they post up for the winter.
They’ll come right up on you! You just can’t touch them. She even got a pic of a newborn! Like, a few minutes old newborn!

Petting a manatee is a $10,000 fine. No touch.

Been beat up on here, twice, for suggesting people just roll their own. Took me a couple of hours of carefully following directions, never touched it again, been 6 years. LOL, don’t think I can even log into it anymore, key’s lost.
- Comment on No Black Friday deal for loyal/previous customers 1 week ago:
Verizon was always the best for me. Moved to T-Mobile because Verizon wouldn’t activate my funky new phone. Promptly lost the phone and wish I had never changed. T-Mobile isn’t awful, but they are compared to Verizon.

- Comment on Assuming humanity last another few hundred years; How many human languages do you think are gonna be left in 100 years? In 200 years? 1 week ago:
Ah! But you’re not accounting for radio, then television and now the internet. Mass communication is squashing languages and dialects and accents flat, while at the same time working for archival purposes.
- Comment on Assuming humanity last another few hundred years; How many human languages do you think are gonna be left in 100 years? In 200 years? 1 week ago:
Spoken, live languages? Very damned few. Archived languages? We might do pretty well.
In my lifetime I’ve seen accents disappearing in America. When I was doing tech support in the early 90s, I played a game of guessing what state a person was from. Did quite well! I could almost always match their accent. (Midwestern was my kryptonite, very generic.)
We’re seeing regional accents and dialects disappearing very quickly due to the internet, and formerly, TV in general.
For example; I haven’t heard a deep Cajun accent in ages, unless I look for it on YouTube, and even then it’s mostly intelligible. I talked to people 25-30 years ago I could not comprehend, and I’m good at languages!
Another example; Go watch Steel Magnolias from 1989. (Great movie BTW!) That deep, proper, Mississippi female accent is all but gone except for the oldest, and those women only use it amongst each other.
In any case, English seems to rule the internet, a modern lingua franca, don’t see that changing any time soon.
