Seriously? With the amount of stupidity dominating our lives from so many directions, you’re gonna date one of them to get even closer to it all? You must be a masochist.

But they know their competitions are doing to adopt the same type of tech, so where are those customers going to go when they have no choice?

- Comment on Inflation outpaces wage growth for over 40% of Americans 2 weeks ago:
It has been shown time and again that administrations under Republican are worse for the economy than when under Democrats. I saw something recently that went back at least three or four decades showing this pattern, but haven’t the time or ability right now to search it up. I’m sure it can be found easily enough.
- Comment on Inflation outpaces wage growth for over 40% of Americans 2 weeks ago:
Never claimed it was. There are innumerable self-destructive stupidities that the human race regularly prefers to engage in because it gives them an advantage in the short term, which is all most of them bother thinking about. That being the case, we’re all forced to play the game their way: constantly look for opportunities to take advantage of for oneself, and fuck their demands of loyalty and self-sacrifice for the good of the company - they wouldn’t do the same for you.
- Comment on India bans streaming apps you’ve never heard of — but millions watch 2 weeks ago:
I’m aware, and that fact only lends credence to what I said to another responder in that humans are the same everywhere you go - it’s only the specific variances that are mostly due to culture that differ. Also keep in mind that in America the Republicans have been working to take over the country since the 1970s - more recent events are just the inevitable result of the dam finally bursting. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn there were similar forces at work in India.
- Comment on GPD’s monster Strix Halo handheld requires a battery ‘backpack’ or a 180W charger 2 weeks ago:
It doesn’t have to be lithium, nor non-replaceable. I just meant something to hold the memory contents and processor in a suspend mode long enough to allow battery replacement. Could be a capacitor, or something else that gets the job done. That’s why I alternatively listed allowing hibernation (save memory to storage and power off) as an alternative option. The goal was to be able to resume where you left off after swapping batteries.
- Comment on India bans streaming apps you’ve never heard of — but millions watch 2 weeks ago:
Meh. I’d say it’s more variance in method than an actual disparity in quality. Humans are basically the same everywhere you go: some small percentage are truly great, a similar (but seemingly larger) percentage are the truly evil, and the rest are varying degrees in between. The differences are mostly cultural in nature.

America showed them how.
- Comment on Man in India arrested for running a fake embassy 2 weeks ago:
I cannot for the life of me fathom how people think this sort of extreme role-playing is going to work out for them in the long run. I kinda get the escapism aspect, but to carry on with it for this long and think you won’t get caught seems quite absurd to me.
- Comment on GPD’s monster Strix Halo handheld requires a battery ‘backpack’ or a 180W charger 2 weeks ago:
Likely expensive AF once you get all the needed accessories. I wonder if they have a minimal onboard battery, or allow hibernating so you can swap batteries and keep going.

Job hopping has long been known to be the best way to increase earnings for most people - particularly those in corporate jobs.

“Sounds good” in language is usually something you’re used to hearing, so it “sounds good” because you’ve already heard it that way & are used to it. Doesn’t help one lock for those not already deeply immersed in hearing the language routinely.

The German language has three forms of the word “the” - the two genders, and neutral. As a kid living in Germany for a while, this gave me fits - things like doors, tables, windows, etc. are gendered, but I’ll be damned if I could ever figure out any pattern to predict which would get which gender (or neutral).

Choosing wisely requires a modicum of rationality - a fact that doesn’t jibe very well with intentionally jumping off a perfectly functional airplane that’s miles up in the air.

Sorry, but about the only thing I found interesting about this post (since it posed a question it didn’t answer in any way) was the HP with the PSU designed right under the expansion card slots. Seems like something that would be incredibly prone to causing problems for those cards due to heat, which makes me feel I must be missing something because it’s such a blatantly obvious issue.

Until Trump decides to enforce a universal RTO edict - including removing all financial “home office” breaks from the tax code.

That you get your brainwashing from an alternate source doesn’t change the fact, and your still paying a fuel tax even if it’s of a different variety.
