  Wait, so rum is a dude??

  I’ve been shouting from the rooftops for years that this stuff is malware. I’m not the only one. No one listens.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grr Windows⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I fucking love running updates on garuda. Watching the little ASCII pacmans gobbling up the progress bar… And it doesn’t do it unless I tell it to so I never have the windows experience of “I just wanna play a game,oh look, 10 minutes of updates instead. Guess I’ll go make a sandwich…”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Y=-x²⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank God for the graph tho, I havnt used math like that in 20 years, and I’ve spent that 20 years getting dumber.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New mobile features are sh*t these days⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I want one but the price has kept me away… But its about to be time. I’m not one to upgrade often, I’m still on a galaxy s9 plus, which I love, but the battery is showing its age and the screen has some minor burn in after like I think 6 years of constant use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Subnautica 2 - Official Teaser Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I panicked for a moment and thought you meant like the EA origin or whatever store instead of early access… I was wondering how they got their grubby mitts on it. Lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Technology Connections: MP3 CDs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That all depended on the player though. I had a car stereo that played MP3 CDs that was able to see folder and navigate folder structure on the CDs. It was great, if your music was already organized in folders, by album for example.

  My desktop stereo system, however, only saw the individual .mp3 files and did like you described. It was much more of a pain, but I usually just played from a computer in winamp (rip).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Signal⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just read the synopsis. Wtf did in just read?

  Movies typically have more than one “star”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fence⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Actually, Gates is just the kernal. The OS should be called Ox/Gates.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Twitter⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like they fucked up with the first one because the poster already looked like a sequel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mouse brains⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Plus Pinky can read and Brain can’t, canonically.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On Bears⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I read the title as “Oh beans” and somehow it still fits, lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Tooth Tap is far superior, I'm sorry.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the dice? It definitely made me question reality though…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Tooth Tap is far superior, I'm sorry.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This just brought me flash-backs of the absolute nut-bar I used to play DnD with that would tap dice on her teeth before rolling them “to check if they were real.”

  This is the closest thing to context I may ever have to that experience. I thought she was checking real vs imaginary, maybe she was checking if they were… ummm… real bones? wait. no.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bethesda Game Studios developers form 'wall to wall' union that includes artists, designers, and programmers⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea, they probably have that one guy still there from the days creation engine was made that is required to be on staff for any future games to fix whatever archaic code they break. Get him on board with the union and Bethesda is probably held by the short hairs to do whatever they say.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨False Dichotomy Rule⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You likely aren’t entirely alone, but I actually dig it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I just cited myself.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the best explanation of this I’ve ever seen, thank you!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You are expecting dominos to do it for you. That’s literally what you are asking. They aren’t going to do that for you because they make more money if you ignore the “deals”. Even a tiny barrier is going to keep out some number of people that don’t find value in spending 30 seconds to save 25% on a $30 tab because they have the money to not even notice, which increases profitability. Their line goes up. Our system forces all these companies to worry about that line going up.

  That said, they aren’t trying to hide it from you, it is the largest thing on their store page, and their people on the phone will happily tell you about it.

  Someone else made the same analogy, it is just like going to a drive through and ordering a burger, fries, and drink separately and not asking for a combo. Same products, but most places it will cost you more to order them separately than to order the combo.

  If you are still mad about it, you aren’t mad at Dominos, you are mad at the core of our current economic system.

  Dude could have saved like $6+tax and gotten more food, and is still arguing that nothing could have been done…

  Lead a horse to water and all that…

  What’s mildly infuriating here is OP… People are trying to explain how you could have saved almost 1/3 of your purchase price and you just argue with them and keep shouting from your soapbox.

  Unfortunately, price shopping is a part of every transaction if you are trying to get the best deal. If you aren’t invested enough to read the largest banner on the shop website to save almost 1/3 of your total, then getting the best price was clearly not a concern when you ordered. Yes, you are expected to do that yourself, just like buying anything else in the commerce system we have been using for decades. It’s real boomer/privileged energy expecting that to just be done for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which is which?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Find a member of staff and ask where the “human bathrooms” are. Don’t let them leave until they explain. Bonus points if you piss your pants while they are trying to explain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is apparently controversial⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  OP’s username got smushed with the community when I read it and thought this was the LinuxMemes community…

  I spent way too long trying to figure out what Linux terminology related to “women bears” before reading the comments and realizing this didn’t have anything to do with Linux, lol. I was searching for famous bears named Wayland for a bit there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you decorate this room?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Make it look like an old-timey log mill with the fan as the saw blade.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bugs⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I always love the “explaining dnd stats with a tomato” bit:

  Strength is being able to throw a tomato really far. Dexterity is being able to catch the tomato thrown really far. Constitution is being fine after eating a bad tomato. Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing a tomato doesn’t go in fruit salad. Charisma is being able to sell a tomato based fruit salad.

  Also, obligatory “salsa is tomato in a fruit salad”.

  Well i’m definitely not clicking that at work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The one your friend, Dick, borrows⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My favorite kind of math is dick math. Thank you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Draw your own conculsions⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay but what happened in 1989 when it was 1% lower?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨blast me off, fam⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like your college experience and mine were slightly different. :/ You’re probably healthier for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes, you cannot, so to do it do like this⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  wtf even is Birdeye? Our work e-mails have all been being spammed by them claiming we have bad reviews and they can help. I’ve been ignoring them mostly, but noticed the text of the reviews reek of being AI written and none of them show up on any of the review sites (that we keep track of anyway). Is this some LLM spam company basically?
