This feels like another one of those funny jokes that someone will come along and ruin by telling me he’s serious.

It’s infuriating that he comes back to get the last word and prove that he didn’t learn anything.

Alright I’ll be ready in an hour, plus a little bit to download the game again.

I’ll be home in about 12 hours if nobody else can do it sooner.

even less on desktop computers

Blocktube and Enhancer for Youtube are Firefox extensions that can hide all of that shit completely. Mine has all shorts disabled, and I’ve removed the recommended videos panels from the right hand side & ends of videos, plus disabled any non-playlist autoplay. There’s still crap on the Home tab, but I don’t use that so I’ve never needed to look into ways to improve it, I just use the subbed tab and playlists. My YT shows me exactly what I ask for and nothing else. The Blocktube extension settings can be password-locked.

The Absolute comics are reimaginings of the characters that make some big changes to them and the worlds they’re in. This isn’t like, THE Batman, this version is an engineer rather than a billionaire and his mum is alive. It’s alright, but Martian Manhunter, The Flash and Green Lantern are all more interesting to me than the trinity so far.

Wonder Woman is pretty cool though, she fights demons with a huge sword and has a mechanical arm, it was a big Berserk reference.

Holding shift and dragging the selection box around in paint was like 60% of my computer classes.

No, you’d turn the first one then the second would only move a fraction of the amount, and the third would only move a fraction of that amount, and so on.

I haven’t used the app for a while, but I still have it installed. The delete account button doesn’t work, and neither does the feedback button. Cool.

They abused a loophole, started doing this before getting permits, and then they & the relevant government agencies ignored the affected people when they complained. So basically, there will be no consequences and nobody who doesn’t live there will even remember this by tomorrow when some other horrible crime is committed.

Hello, I live on the opposite side of the world and I do not have a job that in any way requires me to stay informed about the world. I was well aware.

His stock portfolio is still worth more than any of us will see in a hundred thousand lifetimes. Doesn’t feel like an up side.

Even without time zones, 5am is an hour from the end of my work night. I’m absolutely sitting around on my phone at that point. I just looked at the clock and it’s 5:02am, so it legit would have been 5 on the dot when I saw this.

Agent 47 doesn’t deserve this

Yeah, I was honest, I assume she was just one of those people who has never had to work long or unusual hours. A lot of people can’t wrap their heads around the fact that night shift workers need to sleep during the day, and that a few hours to hang out in the afternoon at the end of an 8h shift is very different to that same few hours before a 12h overnight.

That said, she was awful to deal with, so maybe she just didn’t care. All of the management was. My direct manager at one point was fired because his wife (definitely not a nepo hire) embezzled half a million over a few years.

I like it, this is my third time through the series. The first two were audiobooks but since then I got my own place and was able to start a proper book collection, so this time through I’m taking my time and reading physically. The next book should be out this year hopefully, Butcher has finished writing it according to his site.

I got chewed out for not going to a company bowling party once because I was working that night and asked for overtime if I went. I was doing security patrols which in that job meant 12-hour overnight shifts that were mostly driving, and I refused to lose 3 hours of sleep so I could go out before work. The HR lady or whatever she was couldn’t understand why I refused to go even though she so thoughtfully planned it outside of work hours. Oh, forgot to mention, she and the other admin people were on the clock of course, just not us night shifters.

I’ve barely read or listened to anything for over a year, now suddenly I have 9 books/audiobooks on the go. Most are things that everyone has read or heard about anyway, and almost all are part of a series Ive talked about too much over the years so I don’t have too much to say 🤷‍♂️

Even if this is true and not just performative bullshit, why should anyone care what he has to say. Plenty of people think it’s horrific, let’s listen to those who didn’t push for it to happen.

I wrote that then decided to actually read the article first instead of commenting on the headline just in case it said something like “Joe said this, but he’s a piece of shit so he should fuck off anyway” but nope. I stand by my original comment.
