On top of everything else, the fact that he called someone, anyone, “fully retarded” publicly and in writing blows me away. It’s literally a grade school level insult, and cringey as fuck coming from an adult.

Who reads a tweet like that and comes away thinking anything other than “holy shit, what a sad manchild”?

Seems like a stand-up guy

I mean, duh, he used to be a comedian!

I’ll see myself out now…

I love scheduled and automation based DND, except that about twice per year, SOMETHING SOMEWHERE updates and causes my alarm to be silenced by DND, despite having my clock app exempted from every possible silencing mechanism I can find.

For the life of me, I can’t understand why that would ever be a useful behavior, let along default one.

Lucky for me, I have a pretty robust internal clock, but Holy Fuck is that annoying.

Not to knock on you, because everyone’s got different priorities, but I think calling it a “huge expense that’s no longer relevant” is a pretty loaded framing. A decent 75-ish inch TV can be had for about the same price as a middle-road flagship phone.

Sure, I can certainly watch a movie or play a game on my little 6" phone screen, but it’s an entirely different experience–in the same way that eating a protein bar and eating your favorite meal will both technically nourish you.

Granted, I’ve spent quite a bit in excess of the cost of a decent TV on the audio system to go with it, but pretty much anything other than watching rando youtube videos or playing idle phone games, I would rather do in front of a large screen with immersive sound–gaming, shows, movies etc., even if it’s just me alone.

I think a good compromise would be a simple overwrap or removable label that can be removed after purchase.

Destroy it?

Like he destroyed Twitter by turning it into his personal propaganda outlet, maybe.

It sounds to me like he’s just positioning himself to control an AI tech provider who will conveniently be contracted to replace all the government positions he is trying to eliminate.

I just saw few dozen identical comments with a bunch of upvotes, so the idea of people randomly dogpiling one single comment for no apparent reason struck me as funny!

I seem to recall a subreddit like that… chains of identical one word posts, 20 comments deep, all with a hundred upvotes… and one poor dude with like -1000.

Fuck ICE. All my homies hate ICE.

Scanning this thread though, I was kinda hoping there would be one single “Fuck ICE” comment amongst the rest, that was randomly downvoted to oblivion for no apparent reason.

I for sure hear you on the insane takes flying around! From the context it looked pretty clear to me that they were tagging on to your post rather than trying to contradict it, but who knows.

Posting sarcasm about a controversial topic without a “/s” tag is like fucking without a condom… it carries a risk, but sometimes you just gotta do what feels right!

Maybe I’m just getting whooshed here, but aren’t you and atzanteol saying the same thing? lol

Are they just getting downvoted because the forgot the “/s”?

I think it’s a lot more malicious than a neglect of institutional knowledge.

The people are suffering economic anxiety, Trump points at <insert economic partner> as the cause of their economic woes, and builds popular support for some stupid land grab that trades the country’s soft power for some quick corporate profits. By the time the long-term damage sets in, they are off to the next grift a few hundred billion dollars richer. Tale as old as time…

They know the damage they are causing–they just don’t care.

I triple checked the source and still can’t believe it!

Holy shit…

For me anyways, it’s less “what was I doing?” and more “how do I not be an incompetent combat derp?”

I recently fired up God of War after a few months on a different game and promptly got slaughtered for the next 90 minutes straight until I could re-learn all the combos, special abilities, and enemy attack patterns.

I have to disagree a little bit personally. It can be a chore, but sometimes there is a sense that you’re taking this generic piece of tech sold by the millions and tailoring it to your personal preferences. It’s a little silly and superficial, but it can add a little extra enjoyment to that whole experience of getting a new shiny that you’ve been looking forward to.

All that said, paying $95 for the experience of setting up a used exercise bike is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard.
