I don’t see why then being a guest would mean you should invite them to track dog shit and greasy dirt all over your house, though

- Comment on CEO of Palantir Says AI Means You’ll Have to Work With Your Hands Like a Peasant 4 days ago:
if working with my hands like a peasant paid what my job does, I’d do it in a heartbeat. fuck this mental exhaustion and stress, I’d rather be working the field right hours a day for the same pay
AI is not coming for my job, which leads me to believe it’s not coming for that many other ‘skilled’ jobs

- Comment on Games you really want to play, but can't or won't? 6 days ago:
I was there for a while. I finally got around to it and played semi regularly for a year and a bit, took a year or two off, and then finished off what was apparently the last quest of the base game lol
it’s a decent game. you don’t need to a ton of time to make it worthwhile but you do need to play it in slightly longer individual chunks (playing 30 min at a time isn’t very viable).
if you can, give it a try. but yeah it does require some time, it’s not like popping into minecraft for a bit or mini metro for a round. but it’s also not like civ’s ‘just one more turn’
I liked the story, environments, and gameplay. I found I enjoyed it best when I actually relaxed into it instead of trying to rush through and complete stuff, so again yeah maybe won’t be possible for your available time. but it’s not necessary to complete it to get enjoyment out of it. around a third of the way through to halfway through is probably where I enjoyed it the most
- Comment on A new quest appears... 6 days ago:
yeah we don’t tend to have logical home choices like that over here in Canada
we also like to design bathrooms in such a way that the sink is immediately in front of the opening door, which means you’re not allowed to put the light switch adjacent to the door knob of the closed door position where it would be really convenient and intuitive, which means it’s usually awkwardly beyond the door knob in the open door position, because we never have light switches outside of the room they control
- Comment on A new quest appears... 6 days ago:
why, is your landlord coming by to check if you’ve extended a switch circuit outside of the wall?
tape that shit to the wall and live in the future with your light switch right next to your bed
- Comment on A new quest appears... 6 days ago:
getting up to grab my phone from across the room where I keep it so I don’t doomscroll in bed
because I forgot to turn off the smart bulbs that are also controlled by the switch on the other side of the room

- Comment on Satya Nadella insists people are using Microsoft’s Copilot AI a lot 1 week ago:
yeah, I actually like it now, but that’s mostly because they made the start menu so fucked up and full of shit
I’ve adjusted to just hitting start and typing the first few characters of what I want to open and slapping enter. I’m okay with that process, I actually kind of like it. I don’t need to look at what’s going on and I don’t need to move my hand over to the mouse. The only problem, and this is kind of a big thing, is that yeah it doesn’t search just my fucking installed programs, and sometimes it just opens another program that doesn’t even match what I typed. so the 60% success rate at best is kind of a big failure
- Comment on Satya Nadella insists people are using Microsoft’s Copilot AI a lot 1 week ago:
One of my bosses was screen sharing with me this week and had co-pilot up in Excel. I don’t know what he was doing with it. he started fucking around with it while he was screen sharing, just doing something unrelated to what we were talking about. I know he was just trying to bait me into asking what was going on.
fuck that, I don’t care, I know you love your AI, I don’t give a shit, it’s not useful for what I do and I don’t want to talk about how it can almost do something kind of right
- Comment on Windows 10's extended support ends in eight months, but users are still rejecting Windows 11, at least in Germany 1 week ago:
Microsoft removed my quick access links to my desktop folder today
why? I don’t know. I guess they want to force me to use the OneDrive desktop folder. which I do use, for shit I want synced to OneDrive. but I also have a local desktop folder I use for temp files, and fuck you very much Microsoft left me fucking use my computer how I want to
side note, I had a little program that would export a file that a user had open to their desktop in a specific format. great program, super useful for the application we were running it in, it made a multi-step process of navigating menus into a single button click. I’ve been using it for the past few years at this company. cue my surprise when some new people inform me that the button doesn’t work for them and so they haven’t been using it - BECAUSE MICROSOFT TOOK AWAY THE LOCAL USER DESKTOP FOLDER LMFAO. it blew my mind that people had to go manually create a desktop folder, I had never thought to add checking if that folder exists to the code.

yeah the question is not phrased properly
it should be “why are the people who give former drug addicts a bunch of shit when it’s convenient to them now paying attention to a former addict”
It’s about the hypocrisy, not the person’s past
- Comment on Why do some car lovers oppose bike infrastructure, when more bikes would mean fewer cars on the road? 2 weeks ago:
I might not be able to change what manufacturers are doing, but I do try.
I write them to let them know about their dangerous LED headlights. I write them to let them know exactly why I will not buy one of their vehicles, even used, because it has a giant touchscreen interface for core controls that is useless when the sun is shining on it.
I treat owners who are making the streets more dangerous for me like shit, and I’ll tell them why if they bother to ask. most will probably just say fuck off and not change their mind, but some might actually think about how their actions affect people.
- Comment on Why do some car lovers oppose bike infrastructure, when more bikes would mean fewer cars on the road? 2 weeks ago:
because, overwhelmingly, they’re dumb and selfish and ignorant, and they choose to be that way.
some aren’t. some are willing to be educated. but not most.
- Comment on low beans 2 weeks ago:
why? it doesn’t matter with LED headlights nowadays anyways. they’re so goddamn bright they still light up the whole fog cloud, just slightly lower down. and when people turn on their LED “fog” lights it just gets worse.
