I’m divided on this. I happily pay streaming services for ad-free plans but I’ve never been so into YouTube that I’ve wanted to pay for it. I have it blocked outright anyway (part of my “fuck Google” blocklist collection).

Same here! I started sprinkling in JavaScript from copy and paste snippets you’d find all over the web and eventually I moved on to PHP (for a small while) then Ruby on Rails.

I’m a web developer and whenever I see my (awesome) mechanic I always wonder what it’s like on the “other side.”My dad was a mechanic when I was a child and I always regret never picking up those skills.

A lot of times when they run me through their problem-solving I’m like “damn, that’s just like reproducing a bug to find its root cause.”

Fuck I hate being male sometimes. What swamp do these skeezy sexist MAGA guys crawl out of?

Honestly it looks like the sidewalk snow was cleared after they parked but it still should’ve been obvious right?

Having moved from the shoes off Midwest to Los Angeles I’ve found that basically anyone non-Asian is wearing shoes indoors.

…and that’s why I don’t host my email in the US or on US-owned servers. Fuck that!

Your performative edginess has been noted and filed wHeRE iT bEloNGs.

Who wants this again? Why are we polluting the atmosphere even more again?

I only ever had Facebook, Twitter and Reddit and just couldn’t get into Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, etc. so this is really perplexing to me. It just can’t be true can it?

I also can’t stand using a phone while watching a TV show (paid streaming, no ads) or a movie. It’s sad to me that people are unwilling to immerse themselves in something for just a while.

God damn these people just can’t get over it can they? This “debate” has been going on for like, 10+ years no?

In the US we’ll do anything but build fiber with the billions we tossed at the telecom industry.

I basically feel the same way driving an Audi. I used to drive shitbox 90s-era Nissan Sentras but after ~5 years with the Audi it’s close to impossible not to drive like a complete douche in heavy traffic. It just seems like it takes such a long time for others to respond (light turns green, wait 10 seconds to start moving or just hit the turbo, switch into the other lane then cut off the zombie in front of you). More generally I think vehicles with turbos just put you on another level.

This was my theory—in fact yesterday I told my wife I’d bet her $50 he walks back the tariffs so his family can cash out when stocks go back up.

Just weird to have someone ask me if they have any more questions.

Oh noes! People trying to engage on a social network explicitly created to foster discussion!

In any case it’s despicable.

Are both subnets public?

Did you have one bowl of ice cream to numb the pain though?

OxyContin only ever made me feel dizzy and kind of crappy.

Having worked in logistics I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that the driver had been being called every 20 fucking seconds for an updated ETA on a load that isn’t making any profit.
