Guess I’ll just have to hang out with humans in the physical world.

I felt that way in my late 20s. Got married thinking that would fix it. Getting divorced and getting in better shape in the mid 30s while still having no kids was pretty sick. Get therapy, say no to single parents, and travel more to find nicer people who had success from going to therapy makes the time fly.

As someome in the military, the console used to be the perfect device to recieve new media while you were deployed somewhere with no internet. Video games, movies, and albums used to all come on dicscs a console could read and play on the spot. The internet has created an environment where companies no longer ship a finished product on the disc, and relying on a world where all consumers have high speed internet. It has also pushed individuals that wont have internet for months at a time towards piracy. This also hurts research scientists / students out in places with poor internet service. I fully support companies that send their finished product out on some sort of physical medium that can operate as intended without a software update over the internet. Anything else is just a license key and should be clearly marked as such.

Can’t we just go back to mumble or ventrilo?

It worked for Google. They corraled a majority of the internet into providing them add revenue. Google maps, Gmail, google search engine, youtube… all just more ways for them to scrape your data and serve you adds. Investors are hedging their bets on what could replace google as the information monopoly of the future.

New Hampshire doesn’t require seat belts on anyone over 18. They actually sell seat belt male ends to insert into the female end to keep the car from chiming at the driver. I was surprised when someone got into my car annoyed about wearing a belt, they were from New Hamphire.

I do not know how to even shop anymorem All the name brands I know have gotten worse, most of the new brands are unknown and have AI reviews.

I guess Diego Garcia wasn’t ever really a country, nor was it due to climate change. This is what happens when you don’t have a flag.

Top comment is about how to get a machine to word something raw and emotional that should have been done in person. Nobody wants to get broken up with, let alone with a script written by a robot. Your take is off putting.

Pewdiepie, don’t go to the bridge!

Agreed, he is doing a lot better now.

He has some more mature videos where he reviews books and tours around the world. Sometimes not so mature, he plays Minecraft or calls another YouTube channel bitch lasagna, and that can be fun too.

Because no one wants their OS constantly scraping every file on their computer computer to find better ways to exploit you under the guise of “oh we are just backing this up to the cloud for you.” We paid for software, stop using users as a data source to sell to marketers. I can back up data to my NAS like an adult.

It’s curated to cause problems, I wouldn’t believe anything otherwise. Douyin which is the Chinese version shows completely different content, including government narratives. Tiktok is straight brain rot, and I believe it’s curated to encourage poor behavior in users outside of China.

It ia still a good spot to hang images in categories with citation. Unfortunately most users will never cite anything, and you’ll be stuck reverse image searching from the least user friendly website ever made.

I have no need for my Kindle services anymore. I bought books there for how easy it was to put on my electronic devices, and to easily make back up copies for later. If I can’t downloaf and reformat the e-book to easily make a physical copy I don’t want it.

Public japanese toilets have bathroom cleaner dispensers on the wall with a picture saying to use toilet paper to clean the seat. The Japanese are notorious for cleaning up after themselves, as well as having clean public facilities.

In the US, funeral homes try to get as much money out of you as possible because they know you are emotionally vulnerable. There are exposes on funeral homes having predatory services.

I am wildly speculating it is to collect all the workflows from remote workers in the hopes they can sell the data to other companies for future automation. Just another way of squeezing money out of users who already paid for the software just to have more information stolen from them.

Fixing reddit search? Just insert a 2021 google search bar on old.reddit. I just saved you millions you dingus. Thank goodness Aaron Swartz doesn’t have to see what happened to his joint venture.

Have you never raked a yard?
