- Comment on Bernstein Posits That A 10 Percent Baseline US Tariff On Raw Semiconductors Is "Not Going To Do All That Much," But PCs, Servers, And Smartphones Are About To Get Pricier By ~40 Percent 22 hours ago:
The evidence shows he clearly can’t.
- Comment on EU considers tariffs on digital services Big Tech 22 hours ago:
That’s a great idea and I may do the same, because I have the means. I won’t blame ANYONE that can’t because they are just struggling to get by, though. There’s going to be a lot of pain and a lot of people are going to have to go into survival mode. If they have to buy the cheapest shit at Walmart to get by, I won’t judge.
- Comment on EU considers tariffs on digital services Big Tech 22 hours ago:
As an American I’m here for it and encourage it. These greedy evil fuckers need to be brought down and if we have to burn it all down so be it, so we can rebuild better. What we have now is clearly not functioning for anyone but the 1%.

Those stickers have no legal weight anyway, at least in the United States. The manufacturer has to prove that you damaged the device, whether the sticker is there or not.

Thanks! I use Voyager so I’ll poke around in the settings.

I don’t see the point. How are you going to alt-tab back and forth between the game and Excel with a controller? Pfffft.
- Comment on We refer to jeans as "a pair of jeans", but the only thing that there are two of is the legs, it's still only one item of clothing. 1 day ago:
A pair of pliers is just one tool.
And an au pair is just one person, usually a woman, and they aren’t made of a piece of gold, much less two.
Checkmate, linguists!

My friend, you are railing against the human condition. That’s just how we roll, no cap.

Islay malts always taste like somebody put a cig out in them. Ew.
Balvenie 14 year for me, thank you very much!

Correlation does not equal causation.
You have to be a little off to WANT to interact with ChatGPT that much in the first place.

Yeah sorry, the Unites States of America is gonna be out of order for the next decade or so. We’re working on getting angry enough to get rid of the fuckers who caused it, but it’s gonna take a while.

Same troll that posted yesterday, just block them.

Same answer to all your questions:
It’s probably time to see that psychiatrist.
- Comment on Millennials had it bad – but Gen Z’s outlook is impossibly bleak 2 weeks ago:
Without a significant shift (evidence of which I have yet to see), it will continue to get worse for each successive generation until one of the generations has had enough and TAKES what they need from those that have it. And then we’ll start over from scratch.
So they have a choice. Work to change the system, or let the system ride them hard enough that they break. Or their kids break. It’s gonna be one of these next couple generations that the whole thing falls apart, and that’s only if we aren’t all shooting each other by the next time we’re supposed to have an election.
I hope I’m wrong and people get pissed off early enough to change things in a more peaceful way.
- Comment on I have a bunch of questions: Whats the best way to get this platform's feed to compete with reddit? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah the thing is we don’t want that either. We just don’t care. We see these posts every time there’s a sizable Reddit emigration. I’m not shitting on you, just telling you that you won’t find a lot of interest in that topic here.
- Comment on I have a bunch of questions: Whats the best way to get this platform's feed to compete with reddit? 2 weeks ago:
Most people here do not give a shit about Reddit anymore and frankly are tired of hearing about it. We really don’t want the dregs of Reddit coming over here. We got most of the good people when the API bullshit started 2 years ago, and that’s why this place is great. We don’t want to become what we left behind.
- Comment on Microsoft wouldn't look at a bug report without a video. Researcher maliciously complied. 2 weeks ago:
This is no surprise to me. I recently retired after 30 years of dealing with Microsoft’s bullshit. The last 2 years or so since they started focusing on Copilot and only Copilot, I’ve seen the quality of every other aspect of their company, from software releases to account management to tech support quality and response time to documentation just fall off a fucking cliff. They were never great but it’s gotten REALLY bad lately. And I was working for a fortune 50 that spends many tens of millions of dollars with Microsoft every year. It’s been amazing to watch.
- Comment on Is it asshole behavior to hate someone for saying "Hi, how are you?" 2 weeks ago:
Definitely schoolyard behavior. Doesn’t make it an invalid concern or unworthy of advice, but a lot of adults are probably going to have a hard time relating to this situation. Most will look at this and have a reaction of “no, this situation is not ok”, or maybe “what’s the big deal?” if they lack empathy. Because this wouldn’t be ok with emotionally healthy and functional adults. But it also wouldn’t happen with adults (which is how, OP, you gave yourself away). Kids are much more casually cruel to each other than adults because their empathy is still developing and their perspectives acquired via life experience are still limited.

I read this headline and immediately raced into the bathroom to see what was up, but yeah, they’re still there. Everything seems fine.
- Comment on Realistically, how feasible is it to 100% boycott a massive corporation (such as Amazon) for an extended period of time? 3 weeks ago:
I have a hard time believing Purina makes some kind of special pet food that nobody else makes. Ask your vet about alternatives.
My cats need prescription food and I buy Royal Canin.
I completely boycott Amazon, Google, Walmart, Target, Starbucks, Nestle, the list goes on. It takes a tiny bit of effort. Most people aren’t willing to do even that.

Hell yeah. They are always wet, usually a little dirty, and they are constantly putting on a show.
