  I set up my home server, the. Realized my Internet is shit and my upload speeds can’t even steam 1 4k movie, let alone several at once.

  I am not excited to triple my monthly Internet bill for better upload speeds, but it will have to happen soon.

  Uhhh, so they did their job? I had to make 30+ delivery orders a day, some of them with over 50 items. NO TIPS because it was my job to do that and make sure everything the customer paid for is in the bag.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I always hit this button⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This new restaurant opened up behind my house and the food is amazing according to reviews.

  First time we go in, we order at the front, PAY, then wait for our food.

  I’ve never been here, why would i tip you BEFORE i get my food? I left no tip on the pinpad and gave them cash when we left. But the whole premise of tipping BEFORE a service is something rich people do to get better treatment at a country club or spa, not when we are buying food.

  The open corruption, clear as day illegal and unconstitutional moves, and his overall smugness is embarrassing.

  The GOP has gone insane to allow this man to continue like this. They are all sick with power and are hoping to “get theirs” next from daddy trump.

  They are ALL traitors and should be charged for allowing the crimes to continue.

  I don’t know why people buy an stuff like this and get surprised when this happens.

  Plenty of other electronics that you have full control over.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you had to buy a new TV, what brand would you get?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I personally don’t like soundbars so i go with an AV setup with 5.1 speakers for now. I got my AV recievers on nextdoor, craigslist, ebay, etc. I get them used because people constantly upgrade and i was able to get really nice Onkyo, Denon, and Pioneer AV receivers for under $80 each. Then i got REALLY lucky and found some Definitive Technology studio monitors at goodwill for $5 each and a center KLH platinum center speaker for $4. I found my other surround speakers in my attic from past friends and they are Sony or Bose. But best buy open box and outlet stores are your best bet for subwoofers and front speakers as they can be 30-40% off and still new with warranty. Monolith/Monoprice also makes some decent quality speakers and i love mine.

  This is your reminder that tiktok has always been brain rot and you need to delete your account and app.

  The fact it was bought by Nazi’s to spread their propaganda is just one more reason for people to delete the app and give them the least amount of views possible.

  I would love to start a petition to ban tiktok in states once they turn it into GestapoTok. I mean the right is all about states rights right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you had to buy a new TV, what brand would you get?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I spent months on Rtings looking up ratings, pricing, checking out tv sub’s and i came to the conclusion that you have 2 options.

  1. spend $1500+ and get a Sony TV, the model doesn’t really matter as they are all better than their counterparts. I wanted MiniLED- but they were about $2,000.

  2. Go the budget route and get a Hisense/TCL TV for $600-800 and use the other $1000 you saved for a home theatre system/ 4k player, etc.

  I have a TCL 6 series Mini LED and love it. It has Dolby Vision, little glare, and it’s bright AF (not sure of the NIT rating). I also have a hisense U75 series mini LED and the picture quality is fantastic. The OS is buggy and it freezes, crashes every month or so. But both my TCL and Hisense have buggy OS’s and freeze randomly, just the cost of a cheaper TV.

  I didn’t have my TCL hooked up to the internet for a couple years and used my computer for everything. Then i realized my computer cannot process 4k with HDR, so i connected them to the internet and set up Plex and they both look fantastic with 4k HDR, HDR10, or Dolby Vision.

  Their build in speakers are the worst i have ever heard, even the Hisense with it’s supposed 2.1 speaker setup, they both sound horrible and you WILL need a good AV home theatre setup, or at the very least, a good quality soundbar.

  Yeah, this is not a normal thing to do and clearly another way to try and make anyone who isn’t MAGA, look like a criminal.

  I’m sure they will find the majority of the hate speech is from right wing extremists, but then they will not post the research, or they will do their best to hide it from public view.

  The administration has zero intention of being honest and helping society, so i really hope none of these CEO’s do anything to coddle the crybabies in office. Let them cry themselves to sleep.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Got This Right, Right?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope, if you talk to anyone on the right currently, everything the administration is doing right now is fine and they have broken no laws.

  Oh the democrats have done much worse. When i ask them what things democrats have done that are close to what republicans do, they always bring up forcing kids to become trans or giving them hormones in school.

  People really are that out of touch with reality.

  Microsoft’s new OS has never been a concern of mine. I still have a windows XP, Vista, and windows 7 PC’s. They all work fine but zero security updates of course. You don’t need to upgrade your OS and most people will simply just keep windows 10 instead up buying a new computer.

  I’m just going to setup dual boot with linux since i have some modding and custom software that only works on windows.

  I’ve been meaning to mod my Wii U, but i never play it, so it’s been on the backburner. I heard it’s almost as easy as modding the Wii.

  No one ever gets those rewards, or if they do, it’s a couple hundred dollars for all your time they wasted.

  Doesn’t help to snitch to the government.

  It is really weird to be able to have all my shows in order. Shows like south park doesn’t matter as much since most of the episodes aren’t multipart, but the cartoon wars and episodes 200 and 201 were pretty awesome to watch back to back weeks live.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify is finally launching support for lossless music streaming⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But not like people are going to notice any difference over a stream if it buffers even slightly.

  Most people can’t even tell the difference between 192 and 320 kbps, they don’t care about lossless over stream. Also screw spotify.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A conundrum⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can’t even get an apartment here without making a ton of money. Cheapest studio apartment here is $1,500 a month. I have to prove i make $4,500 a month just to barely qualify, which i don’t. Then they charge you so much for application fees, and then utilities they overcharge for, it’s all a scam.

  I never saw this growing up and it makes sense. Too expensive and too useless for the few games it would make sense for. $99 was like $220 back then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Last Tokens⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  These days arcades are more pinball focused and it has saved the arcade industry in the US at least. I’m one of the people who uses the Pinball map app and tries to go play pinball anywhere I go. Many arcades have opened in the past 5 years and are doing well. People are tired of being at home from covid, and the social aspect is amazing and the community is very open and kind.

  Most people can’t afford a $7,000-15,000 pinball machine, so they go out and pay 50 cents to a dollar per game and have fun for a couple hours.

  I’m actually going to an arcade today in my city that is one of 3 huge ones within a 45 minute drive. Over 35 pinball machines and 50 arcade games, many are imported from Japan and are Amazing!!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's *your* favorite way to play old games?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Original equipment if possible. Once I replaced my TV with a new crappy smart TV, my retro consoles obviously wouldn’t work. A $25 insignia upscaler from best buy gas solved all those problems except for PS2 since it’s native resolution is hard to convert to digital, so it looks like crap. All other consoles look fine and saved me $300 compared to a retrotink. Otherwise it’s all on my modded Wii or Xbox 360.

  Probably depression, online dating ruining the entire dating world, and the economy sucking.

  I remember growing up, you could go to a bar with friends, meet some people and there was always someone hooking up quickly. Or you grabbed a phone number and you were good for later.

  Now it’s more “are you 6 foot tall?” “do you make six figures?” “what’s your snap or insta?” “are you a racist nazi that will murder me in my sleep?”

  Then they can always say, ehhh, your not attractive enough for me, i’ll go on tinder and DM one of the 60 guys waiting for me. BYEEEEEEEE
