  But how will we force you to listen to some agent in the Philippines ramble on about how great the service is, and offer you a 6 month promo rate that you will forget about??

  Welcome to government funding.

  School District: we need a new school

  Enrollment: 4200

  Government: Awesome, here’s $4.2 million, go build the 4200 student school.

  SD: Uhh, won’t that take a few years? Should we add some buffer space to the plan?

  Government: ehh, naah

  Spongebob 3 years later: Welcome to Springfield High School!

  Enrollment: 6900

  Springfield: see, gooberment, we needed more classrooms!

  Gooberment: heh, would you look at that. Lol. Well, use your budget to build some portables.

  SD: Us? Why don’t you pay!?!?

  Gooberment: Oh, haha, yeah, that’s an operating expense. We only fund capital projects! Don’t worry, give us a plan to expand and we can fund you in 10 years

  10 years later: Ok gooberment, our numbers say we need 15 classrooms. But for the expansion, we should do 20 for future proofing

  Gooberment: Oh, but you only need 15 now? Yeah here’s money for 25

  2 years later: Here’s 15 classrooms!

  SD: We need 25…

  Gooberment: Oh, yeah, get some portables and talk to us in a few years!

  Rinse and repeat

  I’m all for hating Tesla, but if your vehicle is approved for Norwegian roads, and is the correct class, it should be able to be used in the driving test. Why should it matter how you signal, as long as you do it? You could even do hand signals if you wanted. (PS learn your countries’ hand signals)

  They forgot the best part. That model uses CO2 (it’s in the name), instead of older HFC (or very ancient CFC) based refrigerants.

  Do you think they have open internet? Gmail?

  Looked it up, nope, some shitty pay message bullsit system.

  Is it really appropriate for parents to snoop on everything their child does?

  When did I say they need to be a helicopter parent? I am simply saying kids in the 90s had parents who did not grow up with this computer thing, and were not aware of what they could be doing. So kids could do whatever. This person obviously had this type of parent.

  These days, if you’re not at least taking an interest in what websites and communities they are participating in, you are not parenting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Omegle Was Forced to Shut Down by a Lawsuit From a Sexual Abuse Survivor⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That argument is getting weaker every year. Let’s assume that the parents were 18 when they had her, that means the parents were born in 1985. That makes them millennials, who probably had the internet from at least 5 years old. So they aren’t some ignorant boomers who have no idea what the internet is, and they can take steps to moderate the experience.

  ET-2800, By HP

  Uhh, you sure that’s an HP? Do you have the wrong model?

  The ET series are EcoTanks by Epson, (Shaq’s Printer) HP almost always uses 4 numbers and sometimes a letter at the end for models. Or Mxxx for Laser

  Don’t get me wrong, HP = Horse Piss, but the shade should be thrown at who deserves it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Return to the office? These workers quit instead.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t forget to file for unemployment. If you were hired as remote, going to the office means a major change in your job. If anything is will make your scumbag company do extra work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft cuts ties with the Surface Duo after just 2 Android version updates⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty standard for Android phones. I don’t know if many that go to 3 versions besides the Pixel.

  As much as I dislike Apple, I do have to give it to them for software support. The oldest phone that has the current iOS is the iPhone 8, a phone from 2017. 6 years of updates. That makes it as old as a Pixel 2, and that only goes to Android 11, from 2020.
