- Comment on Venmo overdrafted my bank rather than use the balance in my account 3 hours ago:
On capitol one 360 and first thing I did was turn off overdraft. Now if I purchase an item with my debit card for $100 but only have $99 in my account, it just rejects the transaction
- Comment on If you have cut off mainstream music streaming, how do you discover new music or artists and songs like what you're listening frequently? 2 days ago:
I buy CDs 5 for a dollar at a thrift store, and check out YT if I’m looking for something different.
- Comment on Apparantly, you can no longer reset the "User" BIOS Password with the "Admin" BIOS Password? Why??? I literally am the Admin lol. 2 days ago:
Motherboards used to have a jumper pin to erase bios passwords and reset bios to default. Doubtful that a modern laptop has these, but worth a look.
- Comment on Bestbuy decided to use fucking **DOORDASH** to deliver my order, I couldn't cancel it. Today I was supposed to get it, and I saw the driver stealing the package after marking it as delivered. 1 week ago:
Also file a police report and let the police identify the thief from video. Then they will get to deal with doordash.
- Comment on Are most people who avoid turn signals do it to feel more normal? (Imitating their parents, avoiding perceived stupidity of using turn signals when it seems useless, etc) 3 weeks ago:
Since when has using turn signals been the “normal”?
For the last 20 years, 90% of the drivers are so lazy that they can’t be bothered to lift their finger a half inch even if it means preventing an accident or death…
- Comment on "And my dick fucks your wife more than you do. What's your point?" 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, but can your watch drive you to the store ?
- Comment on WTF is a rural town in the USA? 4 weeks ago:
Thanks,
After thinking about it a bit, towns with a large corporate presence, like a major grocery store etc., but no Walmart, would fall somewhere in between rural and urban. Low or no corporate presence is almost always a rural town.
- Comment on WTF is a rural town in the USA? 4 weeks ago:
It means the town doesn’t have a Walmart

- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 dev calls Randy Pitchford's $80 Borderlands 4 comments "gross" because it implies the FPS is more important than "making it day to day" 5 weeks ago:
I honestly can’t remember the last time I paid full price for a game. Between free amazon prime games, epic games, gog, and steam demos/freebies: I hardly have time to invest in new games.
I used to buy Madden/NBA2k every year up until 2008 or so, now I grab one every five years at $10. Includes all the bugs from the previous version.
I have 1000s of games now and don’t have any time to play them. BG3 is the one game I’m considering spending $40 for.

At first I thought it was the dead giveaway guy, but it just appears to be some random black guy with cotton candy.

Exactly
- Comment on We overpaid you and need you to pay back $.23 5 months ago:
This is a typical scam, convince the victim you refunded them too much, and ask for the difference back. Only thing is they never refunded you in the first place. They just use the inspect tool to edit your balance client side

I heard that saying fuck over and over again will get you to a real person
- Comment on Hey is Sharing Luigi’s Manifesto on Social Media Actually "Glorifying Violence"? Because Reddit Said So 😭 6 months ago:
That’s what reddit banned, it’s so innocuous.
- Comment on I bought an HP Laptop with 8gb of Ram...and was suppose to be 256gb SSD. I downloaded one game and its all the way down to 80. Is there any free software to download to help? 6 months ago:
Yeah that’s your best bet, remove all the bloatware and regain 20 GB+
- Comment on Thief has a new spiritual sequel, built by the Deus Ex and System Shock devs 6 months ago:
It’s called Thief, not Thieves
- Comment on New report claims gamers spend more time watching videos about gaming than playing games 6 months ago:
I’m past 50 and I still watch multiple gaming videos daily. Neebs gaming, ragg tag, zylbrad, etc. Most of the creators I watch are entertaining no matter what they are doing. I spend more time gaming than watching videos.

No
- Comment on I've had the same laptop for seven years. Don't know much about them besides buy a Toshiba. Is this Hp Essential Laptop a good deal? 6 months ago:
I spent about 10 years working in IT and HP won the worst laptop in the world every year. They used to be designed to fail in about 1 to 1 years, depending on the warranty. That was about 10 years ago, but they were such shit back then that I will never buy a HP anything.
Lenovo and Asus used to be rock solid, probably still are.
- Comment on Anyone else bounce around from game to game with no clue what to play? 6 months ago:
I’ve been doing this for decades. I just get bored easily. But every now and then I find a game that works for me and I spend 1000s of hours playing it. At this point I probably have a 1000+ games and 70% of them I played 2 to 4 hours…
- Comment on My brothers Chuwi laptop had major problems. Now he got a wal-mart gift card for the price he paid for the Chuwi. He is eyeing an HP laptop with 256gb ssd. Is that the same as a regular harddrive? 6 months ago:
Years ago when I worked in IT, HP were the worst computers ever made. Maybe consider looking at Asus or Lenovo. It’s been a while so maybe HP isn’t as completely worthless as they were before, but I still don’t trust them
