  Why would we do that to ourselves? I’d be willing to bet the proportion of people who watched the film who also regularly played the game at some point is less than 50%

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WHERE THE FUCK IS THE CURSOR?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Recommend PowerToys if you’re forced to use windows at work, it has heaps of neat stuff including find my cursor.

  It makes windows 11 somewhat more bearable

  If your software runs on windows or MacOS, this point is such bull, sorry.

  Do you monitor what software people have installed accessing their banking needs on those platforms?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spicy spicy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why I hate coins. Good luck keeping them neatly sorted in your wallet.

  Notes only gang~~~ (sorry coin collectors)

  Just gonna take a moment to hate on UK bank notes being different sizes in both dimensions, though. Wtf is that?

  Me every day at work.

  It’s even worse working in the company’s network drive.

  But damn, it often takes ages for a right click to appear in the goddamned downloads folder (which is in its default C drive location…)

  I feel you pain friend.

  I like it at the top of the view-port, but I agree the auto-hiding/showing feature is excruciating.

  Best part is, they don’t even have to go to court, this sort of thing can be taken to your state or territory’s administrative tribunal, which costs peanuts to file with, and it’s extremely common to represent yourself. Hence why it’s an extremely effective threat when you’re obviously in the right, like in this case.

  Basically Umart is fucked and Australian Consumer Law is really not shabby :)

  Hope she never reads this comment. She is very good looking, just has comically large eyes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dynamic pricing could be coming to your local supermarket⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It might not be legal, but it’s already morally acceptable to shoplift from Coles and Woolworths

  I just don’t because it would be a massive pain if I were to be caught

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Burger King will use AI to check if employees say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is so fucking stupid. I’ve worked in hospitality, saying please and thank you just comes with the territory no one needs to be checking if you do it.

  In a cafe that’s the whole service (in my country at least): being friendly to people, and providing a nice place to hang out and have a coffee, the actual beverage is secondary.

  Saying please and thank you is such base politeness. You can easily be rude or cold even when you do use them, and conversely, be absolutely lovely without using them at all.

  People don’t go to burger king for the pleasantries, the amount of politeness you should expect is the same as anyone else walking down the street.

  Policing politeness with technology is stupid. People should ask each other how they’re going genuinely. Not from a place of corporate greed.

  Fuck this capitalist dystopia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unhinged... I'm gonna start doing that⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  lol serves its own grammatical function now I reckon.

  It’s a marker for response to irony (actual irony, Americans…), or as a way to indicate you think something is stupid to the point of humour, or as a kind of “that tracks”.

  Or at least, that’s how it’s used amongst people my age in Australia.

  I don’t think I use it in a positive sense at all any more

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trans people in Kansas are being ordered to surrender their drivers licenses⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The general strike in Minneapolis shows what the working class can achieve.

  From the provinces (Australia), I suggest you join whatever local movements exist.

  I’m wishing you great success, because I worry what will be in store for us if the US falls even further into racism.

  Stay strong friend

  Some. Many, if not most, are just flawed human beings.

  I don’t enjoy this “everyone sucks” mentality you see online a lot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨32-year-old programmer in China allegedly dies from overwork, added to work group chat even while in hospital⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it? Seemed like a dig specifically at the fact that China doesn’t have a true union movement. Not a dog at communism in general.

  China isn’t communist, nor very socialist, for that matter.

  Capitalism with Chinese characteristics seems more of an apt description.

  Pointing out that China is a dictatorship doesn’t mean that socialism is bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨32-year-old programmer in China allegedly dies from overwork, added to work group chat even while in hospital⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My least favourite argument is them pointing to the reduction in poverty.

  Like, I could say the same for capitalism. Which I won’t because capitalism needs to be abolished, but just “there was a massive reduction in poverty therefore system good” is stupid.

  Tankies aren’t socialists in my eyes because socialism necessarily needs to be democratic control by the people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rent is theft⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Apparently not liking capitalism lumps you in with the tankies.

  Do you even know what tankie means?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple to Soon Take Up to 30% Cut From All Patreon Creators in iOS App⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s silly that they don’t just operate from the browser. It’s how I use Patreon on my (admittedly not iPhone) Phone.

  They should have just pulled Patreon from the app store.

  It’s not like it’s such an impediment to ask users to use their browser.

  In an ideal world we would not have monopolies controlling app stores, but I think Patreon is really stupid for not just abandoning the app store.

  Wait until you hear about How Vodka Ruined Russia

  Tankies ought to be frothing at the mouth about alcoholism, since apparently they love Stalin. And Stalin brought back alcoholism to Russia (Not a socialist at all, in my opinion)
