  That’s the general consensus in my social circle as well. It’s not fooling anybody, but we appreciate it for what it is. Fishham with seafood flavoring.

  If they couldn’t get a login reset sent to their email, then that’s broken.

  How is that in any way relevant to the situation I am talking about, though?

  If they have to create a new email account just for you, that’s bullshit, too.

  While I would agree, that also seems irrelevant to my situation. Tell you what, seems like there are some misunderstandings, miscommunications, and/or incorrect assumptions being made here. Rather than me having to completely rewrite what I wrote previously based on guesses about where those misunderstandings may lie and which incorrect assumptions are being made, let’s just schedule a quick call.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hell⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m mostly this way, but not today.

  I had someone with an issue signing up for an account mention that they were not successful because when they tried to sign up, they got a message that they weren’t eligible because there was already an account using that email address.

  I told them if they have a Gmail account, just use the + addressing feature, otherwise, just create a Gmail account.

  Someone else responded on the first person’s account “But they don’t have Gmail, so they can’t do it.”

  Let me tell you, THIS is a situation where a call is necessary. There’s nothing I can type that will suddenly unravel the layers here and that won’t lead to more layers being laid. It will be 100000000000000% easier and less time consuming to schedule a meeting/call and talk through this than it would be to continue this discussion in text format.

  Glad to see I’m not the only old person in this thread. Also glad I read the thread and didn’t retype the same comment as others.

  If you’re hot, it’s A-OK. If you’re not, then it’s creepy. This is how it do be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Although modern horoscopes typically consist of life advice, it's almost certainly terrible advice because it was written by someone who failed at legitimate or useful employment.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a comforting sentiment, but unfortunately, it’s not really true.

  A lot of grifters grift not because they failed at “legitimate or useful” employment, but because grifting is easier, quicker, and better money for them (or has other tangible benefits) and they have no moral quandaries about what they’re doing.

  They already sell Queso Chihuahua and I personally do not ask from whence it came. For fear of having my ankles bitten.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No looky for you!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Duh. If they let you see how it’s done, then you’ll know how to do it yourself. And once you know how to do it yourself, you won’t need to buy one of their expensive machines every time you want to wash dishes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wanna Ride This Bussy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, things like this can result from not providing a supportive environment where queer persons and their allies feel comfortable enough to unmask and freely discuss why “bussy” probably isn’t the best terminology to use in external communications.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IT’S THE FEDS!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Worst that’s happened to me is that I was detained and questioned by the cops while they investigated my “grow operation”. I had some old school grow lights in my kitchen window for my window sill plants and a potted hibiscus outside on my deck.

  It’s sad that the cops couldn’t immediately tell the difference between hibiscus and weed nor were they aware that people can grow indoor house plants under those pink/purple fluorescent lights which for sure wouldn’t be strong enough to grow marijuana to begin with.

  It’s also funny that my neighbor at the time actually was growing weed on his front patio, and they never seemed to notice in the 5 or so years I lived next door.

  This reminds me of a site I used to visit every once in awhile back in the day. It was known for 2 things and 2 things only. Loved it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They encased the filter⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m in the USA, so if they were made in China they’d probably cost me $30 USD by now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They encased the filter⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If they were cheap and not made in China, I would buy these. They look neat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Front is back.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  To get around back, go left. Because left is right and right is wrong so the only thing left that’s right is left.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brooklyn electronics company Adafruit hit with surprise $36K tariff bill: "pay in one week"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I often hear good things about AdaFruit, so it made my terrible experience with them all the more disappointing and unexpected.

  I won’t launch into the full story, but I had placed what was to me an expensive order. One item of the cheapest things I bought was missing a part. Their customer service folks were so dismissive and unpleasant, they made me try to resolve the issue with their supplier (iirc piminori or something along those lines), they insisted that there was no way this could happen because it would never have passed their quality control team, that it wasn’t their responsibility to make it right, etc. It was such a bad experience that I’ve never returned.

  So honestly, I have no sympathy here. From my perspective, this sort of thing could not have happened to a more deserving company.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DOOM: The Dark Ages | Review Thread⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Looking at the game’s minimum requirements, I’m not sure I how well my available hardware will work. Granted, it’ll probably be some time before I play the game unless there’s a free demo available. I’m more of a patient gamer type and I still haven’t played through Eternal yet (and may not).

  Honestly, from the descriptions and reviews I’ve seen, Dark Ages game play style sounds like it’s a sharp turn away from Eternal, which means it might be more my thing. Granted, I’m also seeing a lot of folks saying it’s super heavy into story telling and cut scenes. Not that I have a big problem with those things, but I enjoy that they’re kind of light in earlier entries of this series.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Can’t you just make your own shoes? All you have to do is build your own shoe factory and then hire a bunch of illegals and children to work under the table for cash. You don’t even need a website, just sell the shoes on Facebook Market Place. That’s literally all there is to it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unfair is what it is⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They don’t have ankles. They don’t have testicles. They are missing a bunch of ribs. They don’t fart. They don’t even have a Y chromosome. At a certain point, it’s probably easier to list the things they do have.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People Are Losing Loved Ones to AI-Fueled Spiritual Fantasies⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I need to bookmark this for when I have time to read it.

  Not going to lie, there’s something persuasive, almost like the call of the void, with this for me. There are days when I wish I could just get lost in AI fueled fantasy worlds. I’m not even sure how that would work or what it would look like. I feel like it’s akin to going to church as a kid, when all the other children my age were supposedly talking to Jesus and feeling his presence, but no matter how hard I tried, I didn’t experience any of that. Made me feel like I’m either deficient or they’re delusional. And sometimes, I honestly fully believe it would be better if I could live in some kind of delusion like that where I feel special as though I have a direct line to the divine. If an AI were trying to convince me of some spiritual awakening, I honestly believe I’d just continue seeing through it, knowing that this is just a computer running algorithms and nothing deeper to it than that.
