- Comment on Google's mail system helpfully classified this notice of a class action settlement AGAINST GOOGLE as spam 2 days ago:
Mass emails about class actions are annoying because I have to go through a lot of trouble to verify they’re real and then like a year later I get a check for 5 dollars which I also view intensely suspiciously.

I think there are limits in the other direction, people in the United States seem to have really shite vocabularies

I understood some of those words.

My Healthcare was 5 a month and shifted to 400 a month as of next year. Who could’ve thought an 8000% increase in cost causes trouble?

I can’t help but notice how insanely buggy the service is with regard to showing me comments that allegedly exist.

Sometimes. I feel like LLM technology and it’s relationship with humans is a symptom of how poorly we treat each other.

I don’t know how to explain it but mine is in constant flux.

- Comment on [NSFW] ysk: you can restore your foreskin 1 month ago:
Something I consider extremely upsetting is the fact that just nobody gives a single solitary fuck in america? Like it’s literally genital mutilation on a baby? But people will basically just brush you off if you try to bring up how fucked it is?
- Comment on Refrigerator ads are finally here! 1 month ago:
I’m not defending this practice because it’s remarkably awful but I will note that I have a router that lets me monitor the traffic that individual devices use and most smart devices like this actually use incredibly small amounts of bandwidth. Our smart water tank uses ~10 MB a month which is smaller than most images.
And yes I do think a smart water tank is valid because it can do shit like tell me when it thinks it’s about to explode or leak or whatever and it can also like, be remote controlled, and it has a heat pump which is nice.

Hate to admit it but while I hate AI images I got a sensible chuckle out of the Waffle House Dollar General in cop car in one scene because it reminds me of what a garbage country I live in.

- Comment on You can do anything at Zombocom 1 month ago:
This reminds me of how my speakers work.
I have a 3.5mm jack for my speakers that converts to an RCA jack at the end, I also have T-intersection that goes between an amplifier and the RCA jack to intercept the signal and send it BACK to a set of desktop speakers.
Why? Bootleg surround sound, I know it’s just stereo, but hey, more speakers! Also it sounds better, and it can get louder.

A reminder and suggestion to down vote any AI slop images and block the account so we can all collectively see less of this shit as time goes on.

Something I consider rather agitating is the concept of food elitism. " No you can’t put ketchup on that you uncultured fuck!" But like it’s my food piss off mate…
- Comment on They even do Price Discrimination on video games now 1 month ago:
I resent Nintendo so much because I know for a fact that if they just made a red clone of steam with Nintendo branding and put every possible Nintendo game ported to PC on it they would make so much God damn money it would cause some kind of gravitational money Singularity and destroy the world.

I tried productive bees, made them a little garden area in my base. And they just don’t seem to do anything and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I captured some end bees and they just disappeared while I was away, coooool
I fuckin hate this mod I have no idea what I’m doing wrong and the tutorial videos are not helpful.

Any upstanding pervert can come up with a strip club but it takes a special kind of repressed creepiness to come up with Hooters if you ask me.

I wouldn’t be caught dead ordering food from a service like uber eats. The amount of distress that you would have to inflict upon me for me to even consider Uber Eats would be insane.
Purchasing a meal from ubereats means suffering an obscene markup that means it will always make more sense for me to go myself.
Here’s a hypothetical scenario to illustrate:
In-store price for a meal: $20
On Uber Eats:
Restaurant might mark it up 15-30% → $23-$26 just for the food, that’s not so bad, buuuut…
Plus delivery fee (say $4) + service fee (say $3) + tip (say $3) → total $33-$36
That means you’re paying ~60-80% more than going to the restaurant or picking up.
In some cases (especially for smaller meals or chain fast-food), the total jump can exceed 100% more just because you don’t want to drive ten minutes down the road.
