And, the phones were built to take it.

I didn’t know this, but I’m not shocked, or even a little bit surprised.

I’m not excusing the behavior, nor do I do this. I am saying it’s not nearly as ubiquitous as the author tries to make it seem. She’s biased because it happened to her, and of course she would be. But, don’t look at her claims as some sort of careful study.

It’s not all men, it’s not anywhere close to a majority. “There are forums with millions of members on mainstream sites…” still doesn’t constitute a huge percentage of men. And, I’m sure only a small percentage of those are sharing original pictures. She has way overstated the problem.

Nah. If they don’t laugh, you blame them. “No, the children are wrong.”

He wasn’t complaining, he was celebrating.

I vote for neither.

$17 for a burger, even if it really did look like the picture, which we all know it doesn’t, is way too much. No, thank you.

I pay $12/day to feed myself. I make all of my own meals at home, I haven’t eaten out since the pandemic. I formed the habit, and just kept cooking at home as prices got ridiculous. My diet is excellent, mostly fresh vegetables, and organic chicken.

When a casual acquaintance asks my political leaning, I say Democrat to keep things simple. But, really, I’m a Bernie guy. I don’t want to talk politics, and trying to explain that Democrats are actually center-right is just too much effort to put into… well, just about everyone nowadays.

I’ve found Startpage to be a good, easy alternative. I’ve tried DuckDuckGo and SearxNG, but I think they are more extreme than I need.

You’re not going to get “improvements” in Windows, that should be clear by now. Crystal clear, I would think.

Linux IS good, and today, the “paradigm shift” is more like a gentle learning curve with people holding your hand every step.

I’m an old geezer who made the jump a year ago, it really isn’t hard. Literally, the only thing I miss is the big preview window in the file manager. Big previews for all of the major formats is a big plus for Windows, but not one that kept me on their side.

Wait, there’s actually humans working at Discord? I thought the entire thing was run by bots.

I’m living alone again for the first time since I was 22. I brought back my old ways. I use the same dishes every day, and wash as I go. One fork, one knife, one spoon, a plate, a bowl, a glass, etc. They sit rinsed-off in the sink till I need them, then I quickly wash what I need, and use it, and put it back in the sink.

Much better than filling a dishwasher every few days, then having to run it and put the dishes away.

Those are rookie numbers. We gotta pump those numbers up.

You caught on early, and rejected it. There are plenty of new recruits introduced every day, who are taking it seriously.

Not me.

Tesla is a shitty company, and everyone who works there is shitty. Same for SpaceX. They don’t have any excuses left.

Anyone who buys a Tesla from this point forward is also shitty.

Same. I just came in to upvote it. But, also, I take minor pride in knowing what the first comment will be.

Why not both?

If money is the only motivation, and especially if some part of the job is demotivating for you (maybe ethically speaking), then I’d count that as burnout. Remember, they can never pay you what you’re worth, because then there’d be no profit for them to leech. Also, the corporate entity has no morality. It’s just a machine.

Only one? Because I loves me some mashed potatoes with too much butter and sour cream.

Statistically, he’ll die of poor health in the next four years. He’s very unhealthy, and very old. Medicine can only do so much.
