While it’s fun to mock the boomers, new gens aren’t particularly tech literate either. At my job, at one point, we recruited someone younger than me. I’m not particularly old but the industry is dominated by older people, ex-military, etc. Dude was on the tech side like me, but he had no awareness or ability to learn what certain buttons were or how to troubleshoot any issues. I learn things just by testing stuff out, but apparently no one else outside of specific demographics does the same.

It actually came from WWI, and it used to be called “gaslamping,” since that’s what they had used at the time.

But cell phones are getting bigger again, so now what happens? 🤔

I thought that they couldn’t guarantee that, which is why “slave-free” had to be removed from the advertising?

“I’m joining the war against Canada on the side of Canada.”

I have a similar account for everything that I expect to have some form of tracking. Yet all of these services that are supposed to spy on me to find out exactly what I’m interested in have not once succeeded in targeted me with advertising for something I have any interest in getting. I’ve only seen them work for people who have Facebook or something that actively listens for things to make ads about, which I don’t have.

Now, I had read this title as “horticulture architecture,” and I was wondering if a tree was supposed to go in the middle or something or where the tree pun would be.

I can see that. I had learned that most of Genesis shouldn’t be taken literally anyway. They’re mostly allegories or parables.

Yeah, but even if democrats had 2/3+, enough will cave to make it fail again. I have no hope or trust in them. I’d like them to, and it would be great if it worked, but I have no hopes.

I don’t believe the democrats have enough of a spine to do that. I would expect them to instead say, “Oh, well he can’t be president again, so no point in that when it can cost us our real constituents, the corporations that bribe us to do nothing.”

Don’t call him a dork. Whale penises are provide much more to the biosphere than that below-the-barrel scum.

There’s also an element of whether or not the lendee can reliably make payments. Always having late fees doesn’t show that you’re able to reliably make companies money. And when you’re making payments on time without fees, they still get money from the fees they charge the business. So using and paying back is still good for them. It’s still all about the money, because it always is in the US.

which i absolutely believe. when i see dealerships selling oddly colored cars they tend to have a 5k discount. my friend got a equinox that was a but strangely colored for less, and in my area a kona had a 5k discount for being hi-vis green. plus i imagine anyone wanting a specific color would just go to a shop for it.

spanner is pretty tasty usually for me but phillips and slotted depends on where it was. id argue thats propaganda since its seen everywhere. specialized screws i think are usually upkept well enough to be tasty.

Even if it wasn’t, it’s still a secondary source at most throughout.

I use emails from my spam folder

Oh absolutely. The reason i preferred Windows over Mac when I was younger was being able to use what I want (in a general sense). If they did that, I’d immediately have jumped to Linux. And even though it didn’t happen, it just delayed the inevitable, as I’m migrating every piece of tech I own away from the Big Guys^tm.

I unfortunately like beef too much. But I know the impact the meat industry has and try to reduce my intake. I was down to two meals with meat a month before I got a job that wouldn’t let me be picky.

Heavy Update, Pikmin 5, New Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Devil Survivor 3, Digital Devil Saga remaster, a variety of sequels but actually done right instead of being butchered

I don’t even hate the concept of the rewinds; they just mostly suck. The one for Discord was basically just “heres who you chatted with most, the server you sent most messages in, and how many emojis you sent.” I don’t care. Youtube and YTMusic have one. Spotify added an AI Wrapped podcast last year. Even the NYT Games app has one.
