I would say, someone who doesn’t look at the cost of flight/hotel/etc. and just does on a whim.

I love the movie visuals so much more. The woosh looks now detailed but it’s the vortex in the back that really sets it apart imo.

We have a billion FPS to games but there’s been little in this genre and Pokemon sells on nostalgia instead of quality. If it was a new IP today, it would flop. I’ve been such of Nintendo gaslighting everyone into thinking they invented any of it.

I could understand an 8 year old. But 18!

I’ve done that once. Was playing as Bae’zel and Shadowheart was being racists, so she got what she got. An in person meeting with Lady Shar.

Well, maybe. Or they’d have the most developed 42 pack abs you’ve ever seen.

I mean, it would increase sales. But that’s because light saber. When I was a kid I would have pissed off so many women, because dumb kid + ‘lightsaber’ = pissed off adults

When I was like 13, 14 when my parents were really pushing me to get a job, I already didn’t want to work. Decades later, I still don’t want to work, and I like what I do. There’s a reason I play the lotto, it’s the only way I’m getting out of this shit-cycle. I’d like to spend more time hanging out with my nieces and nephews, who are growing up so fast. My grandparents only have a few years left at best, I’ve already missed out on spending the best years I could with them. Saw my dad last year, probably the first in nearly a decade in of itself. I want to spend time just sitting at a beach watching the waves come in. Or seeing a mountain for the first time.

I don’t want to work. I’ve never wanted to work. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t do nothing, I don’t want to be lazy. Like, my ideal “job” is working in engineering on the Enterprise with Geordi. But that can’t happen. So really I just want enough money so if I do work, I have enough money to tell upper management their plans “aka shit they saw on LinkedIn” is fucking stupid. What you going to do fire me, I’d be rich, that’s not a threat! Eat shit you overpaid worthless peices of shit… (I might have some things to work on…,)

They gonna be real angry when they get to Leviticus and find out what foods they can’t eat…

Lol, jk they’ll skip the inconvenient sections.

There’s another thing I don’t see people talking about. In the YouTube app itself, they have hovering “Products” link, that covers a portion of a video (might just be shorts) and there doesn’t appear to be any way to remove it. I currently have YouTube Premium and it shows up.

It’s a 7-Eleven Slurpee machine. If a new flavor was coming, it wouldn’t be a surprise, and they’d know well in advance (well managment would). Now I don’t frequent 7-Eleven so I can’t say how often they swap out flavors, but most places tend to just maintain outside of special promotions or discontinued products.

There’d be no reason for those to be touchscreens, they’re not like the Coke Freestyle that lets people pick. Those Slurpee machines are manually controlled by the customer. It being a touchscreen or a server somewhere… is needless over-engineering and a bunch of e-waste to replace an insert. A physical insert never had a CVE. A phsyical insert doesn’t need tech support (both for the OS + application + networking + hardware) on top of the maintenance for the machine (the parts that cool and make the Slurpee). A physical insert cannot crash. The only thing adding a screen + Linux + whatever else does is make the presentation a bit cleaner (at an increase in cost and waste). This is like the places that replaced the glass doors with giant screens (sorry for linking to anything Reddit) https://www.reddit.com/r/chicago/comments/p8s7ab/the_cvs_on_irvingpulaski_installed_these_screens/#lightbox

Ye

Today I learned he actually legally changed his name to “Ye”. Fucking pretentious and stupid.

And the product just what, magically shows up? If you’re swapping out the flavor, that’s a whole process, not something you’re doing on a whim. All promotional material would either be shipped ahead of time or with the product. We’ve been able to label buttons and products for a long time w/o using an independent computer + screen to do it.

If you’re swapping flavors (which won’t happen often) your already having to clean it. Swapping out the button insert isn’t a big ask. This doesn’t solve anything a physical sign could do better.

If you’re changing out the product with something different, then swapping out an insert really isn’t a big task.

It’s just a name. Think folk lore, most can’t use them and those that could probably looked like they had infinite power.

1 bedroom has a TV. Living room has at TV. Was going to put one in the guest room, but I’m not buying a smart TV.

You’re still paying for the components, so an out-of-box dumb TV would be cheaper (we saw this when smart TV’s first launched, they were ~$30-40 more then the dumb versions). You still are at the mercy of whatever board/OS gets installed. And Microsoft is constantly trying to force users to make an online account to use the PC, it’s only a matter of time before TV makers require WIFI to do initial setup. Plus there’s ways to still get online, like if they partner with Xfinity who use customer routers (the ones that get rented) for others to use… stuff like that would eb all to easy to do. Or heck, partner with Amazon. They deliver everywhere, so the trucks are driving around, there’s ways they could auto join you to a network.

The “just don’t” doesn’t send a message other than “we need to try harder because we need to steal that data”. Stop buying TVs is the only message that might work.

I personally disagree. Long time ago, I was dating someone and one day it just happened… Like that was the point I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. But I did a quick ‘ask her father for permission’ but in my head… And doing that was when I fully came to grasp with just how much a loser I was and how little I had to offer anyone. That moment, was the moment my life shifted. I got my drinking under control, went to college, made better friends, I was serious about my future.

While I didn’t talk to her father, I knew exactly what he’d say. I knew exactly how he felt about me. Him being always honest with me and me finally being honest with me was the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

I’ve never viewed it as a property thing, at least not in America. And I didn’t anyone does. To me it’s always been more of a ‘are you worthy, do I trust you’.

Well it was nice knowing the crew… If they’re running windows they’re doomed.
