How is there a Tetris Company that owns the rights to this? Hasn’t the actual creator of the game never gotten anything for it?
- Comment on Min wage in most states is so sad 3 days ago:
The Great Stink 1858 caused by the combination of everyone dumping their refuse into the river Thames and unusually low water levels, was being mostly ignored by the British parliament until the members were forced to return to work in the parliament building close to the river where the smell was at its worst.

Never let it connect to internet.
This is a temporary solution though. One day they’ll just give it cellular connectivity once it gets cheap enough. And this is terrifying because by then there will be no escape from their surveillance short of hacking into it or putting it in a faraday cage.

That was probably an additional 5 cents worth of popcorn that was being sold for $10 too.

Dead internet theory
- Comment on Waiting and getting treated is better than waiting and going bankrupt 2 weeks ago:
If Canadians waits in an ER, that means that what they had wasn’t life threatening and people with worse conditions took the priority over them.
If an American waits in an ER, it could be that their insurance company is delaying everything and hopes that they die so they don’t have to pay for treatment.

That’s one way to pick up ladies
- Comment on Doorless showers just make a mess and everything ends up wet 2 weeks ago:
I do. But a proper one. A proper one looks like something you’d see in a change room. All tiled. No glass that is a PITA to keep clean. No curtain that gets disgusting. Just step in, shower, step out.
But that stuff is out of reach to most people, including myself. Some people are still trying to imitate that with those compact ones but it’s just not the same.

People want them but they don’t want to admit that they don’t have enough space for one that properly works.

America never moved on from relying on slave labour. It only adapted it.
- Comment on google's getting pissy about using their shit while logged out 3 weeks ago:
I use google maps in the browser on my phone without an account logged in. Every single time I open it, it gives me a pop up message begging me to use their app with two buttons at the bottom that are blatantly dark patterned and misleading to get you to accidentally click on their app store link.
- Comment on California just passed a law forcing mandatory DRM in 3D printers 3 weeks ago:
They’ve just banned the sale of all 3D printers in California. Even if you lock down the firmware it’s impossible for an algorithm to tell what can be used as a gun part.
- Comment on Social Security can be saved. Scrap the cap! 3 weeks ago:
Usually it works the other way around, where people don’t start paying a tax until their salary reaches a certain level. Somehow they’ve inverted this to favor the rich? Why aren’t people rioting?
- Comment on Cool Japan 🌸 1 month ago:
I used a bus in Japan to go to Mount Fuji. Seats were assigned like in a plane and I was sitting next to some Japanese guy. I did my best to respect their customs and remained silent and kept to myself for the two hour ride. The inside of the bus was as silent as a church for the entire drive even though it was full.
On the way back at the end of the day, the bus had dropped a few passengers somewhere and stopped at a station for a toilet break. When we boarded again the driver went to see the passenger beside me and moved him to another seat on the bus to sit in a seat that had been freed up next to another Japanese person.
I’ve spent the rest of the ride wondering what I had done wrong. It’s really a fucked up feeling and it must be horrible to be experiencing this sort of passive aggressive racism in a daily basis in your own home.

I enjoy being busy doing stuff I want to do for myself, not for some billionaire cunt

How they put the bikini on the manatee you ask? That’s why they were wrestling with it.

I think the epic Schwarzenegger high five one would be more fitting

When The Simpsons started it was believable that you could raise a family of 5 and own a house on one blue collar salary.
- Comment on Horror story 2 months ago:
I have to use Teams for work and it baffles me how unbelievably bad the interface is. Everything that should be easy and quick to do is made difficult and time consuming. Every time you try to do something simple you’d expect to be able to, it is blocked or limited in such a way that you can’t do it and you have to find a workaround. It fights you in every way it can whenever you’re trying to accomplish something. You also have to sign in with two factor authentication multiple times every day. I don’t understand how this so-called “productivity” suite is even tolerated by private companies. It cripples productivity.

- Comment on Pizza 🌟 2 months ago:
May I presume you live far from where lobsters are found? In places local to where they’re caught they are no where near that expensive. Transporting live lobster is probably far more expensive than most other foods.
- Comment on Pizza 🌟 2 months ago:
Lobster, caviar, mussels, oysters, sushi, ribs, fondue, raclette… They all started as poor poeple’s dishes
- Comment on 2 months ago:
It started as a sci-fi shooter. DoomMarine was just a human left behind to guard a ship with a pistol and ends up fighting the hordes of hell with an array of modern and sci-fi weapons. The back story was essentially he got assigned there as a punishment for punching an officer who was ordering him to shoot civilians. He was representing humanity.
Now DoomGuy is a demigod being wielding medieval and fantasy weapons in an armor made out of alien technology with an insanely convoluted backstory of him being the twin brother of the devil or some bs like that I just stopped caring at that point. He is completely dehumanized at that point. The whole game looks more like a fantasy game in a medieval world of magic than a sci-fi shooter.

The more Bethesda milks the DOOM franchise, the more it looks like Skyrim
- Comment on Yoti Reported GrapheneOS User to Authorities - Sony PlayStation Age Verification 2 months ago:
TL;DR: They probably haven’t actually contacted the authorities and it was likely so made up by the customer service representative.
But there is a growing realisation that they’re giving Google the power to decide who can access web services and who can’t and they’re clearly using it to make life difficult for anyone who refuses to run a device that they fully control.

Just like brass, as it is worked and repeatedly stressed over time, the human body becomes hard and brittle.
- Comment on Amazon started hiding ratings for some products 4 months ago:
There has been tons of products with fake reviews for over a decade as well by now.
I remember back when Amazon was a source for trustworthy products in the earlier days. Then they let the shady sellers in. Then they hid the country of origin. Then allowed fake reviews. And now they’re hiding the reviews they don’t like? Why would anyone want to purchase anything from that site at that point?

By the same reasoning women should never sit on a single man’s computer chair either.
- Comment on Land where 4 months ago:
There are so many things that you can land on land that will absolutely ruin your day when going for land. A large boulder, a large tree, a cliffside, a building, something flammable, near an angry hungry bear… The open sea is seen as safer in the American school of thought.
