This feels like such a foreign concept to me.

My dad had to shovel snow so he could drive my pregnant mom to hospital for my birth.

kent_eh,

Unfortunately the list seems to have become unmaintained.

kent_eh, (edited )

There are a lot of people here who weren’t born back in the early 2000s

And in that same vein, I would like to nominate zombo.com

kent_eh,

OPEC once again fucking the rest of the world.

kent_eh,

Besides, he kind of goatse-d the overton window.

There’s an image I’ll have trouble getting out if my head.

Green Day :
the American dream is killing me.

how similar are other North American countries to USA??

I mean the other 2 countries, Canada and Mexico, how similar are both of them to United States?? Both countries have a similar economy and democracy etc, and I think those two countries share things like supermarkets, stores, etc. I suppose the cultural differences are not a lot, that is very nice.

kent_eh,

A little too similar in some cases.

It seems that we are importing the worst examples of American politics and capitalism into Canada.

kent_eh,

I hope there would be rioting in the streets if some government tried to straight up kill our public health care system.

Unfortunately, it’s currently showing the strain of being attacked by a thousand cuts.

kent_eh,

Racial identity isn’t based off anything legitimate.

We’re all just people, and we should interact with each other on that basis.

kent_eh,

It doesn’t have to be that way, but I expect it will continue to be.

Humans seem to be bad at seeing past zero-sum solutions to problems.

kent_eh,

Memes are low effort in general

kent_eh,

Avoid subscription services like the plague.

Check what services your library card gives you free access to.

kent_eh,

What about after the 10th time it happens?

Or the hundredth time?

kent_eh,

futility of negotiations

How do you negotiate with someone who invaded your country and whose only poison that “your land should be my land”?

Someone who has consistently lied since long before the start of the fighting?

kent_eh,

I have literally never used any of those, because I can’t justify the cost.

All the anecdotes about the poor service simply reinforce my decision.

kent_eh,

Probably the “fail fast” design mentality

kent_eh,

The oldest man-made thing I have is a carved stone hammerhead.

kent_eh,

Probably 2, but as I always use my own images for my desktop anyway, the default wallpaper really doesn’t matter to me.

kent_eh,

Cold-call telemarketing

kent_eh,

40 years ago me thought that would be a fun dream.

Current age me thinks younger me was a fucking idiot

kent_eh,

Paper backup in my sock drawer.

"Good Evening, Ladies and Gentlemen and welcome to the Universal Amphitheater. Well, here it is the late 1970’s going on 1985. Y’know so much of the music we here today is pre-programmed electronic disco, we never get a chance to hear master blues men practicing their craft anymore. By the year 2006, the music known today as the blues will exist only in the classical records department of your local public library. So tonight, Ladies and Gentlemen, while we still can, let us welcome from Rock Island, Illinois, the blues band of Joliet Jake and Elwood Blues, The Blues Brothers!

Spam calls and texts are driving me fing crazy anyone have suggestions?

After repeated data breaches that no company really seems to give a s— about my phone is blowing up with literally hundreds of spam calls and texts month. I get and make MAAAAYBE 2 or 3 important calls per month, 180-200 of the rest are literally all spam. Anyone have any suggestions, apps ect that they have found refuge with?...

The person who recorded our IT department’s ivr message hasn’t worked here for almost a decade, but the message still says “the options have recently changed…”

kent_eh,

Not taxing them hasn’t kept their fingers out of the American government.

Far from it.

Hell, the current speaker is trying to convince everyone that the government was always intended to be based on religious dogma.

kent_eh,

In my case, specifically Windows 95.

kent_eh,

Again and again and again for decades.

As much as I’m appalled at the violence (from both sides), it shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone (least of all Isreal) that Palestinian factions would eventually respond with violence to constantly being pushed further into a corner.

Why is everything in consumer / American life so fucking shitty now - and companies literally just say 'oh bc profit margins' and we're now expected to swallow that and sympathize?

like I went to taco bell and they didn’t even have napkins out. they had the other stuff just no napkins, I assume because some fucking ghoul noticed people liked taking them for their cars so now we just don’t get napkins! so they can save $100 per quarter rather than provide the barest minimum quality of life features.

kent_eh,

kent_eh,

And it seems that “our corporate masters” don’t understand that underpaid or laid off people don’t have the purchasing power to buy more stuff.

In their relentless pursuit of profits, they are killing off the ability of people to be customers.

kent_eh,

That’s the thing, though, they don’t care about the future. They only want to maximize today’s profits.

Tomorrow is someone else’s problem.

I don’t know how to solve this problem without a massive peiod of hardship for everyone until the societal parasites finally feel the pain , but the cause is pretty obvious.

kent_eh,

Sadly, it appears not to be an easy skill for a far too many people to learn.

kent_eh,

Hugely helpful for stress management.

As someone whose workplace refuses to schedule anything properly, and refuses to respect to any attempts to schedule anything or anyone, I feel this so much.

Now, either Poilievre and his Conservatives had a political epiphany about manufacturing jobs, or they’ve got terrible memories. Either way they are officially talking out of both sides of their mouths.

Or they’re just blatantly lying to their audience, like populists tend to do.

kent_eh,

Regular watch.

My good old Timex Ironman has survived tons of physical abuse over the decade or more ive had it, and it’s battery only needs my attention every few years. I doubt a smart watch would improve either of those scenarios.

Plus, I don’t see any value added to my life by having phone features on a smaller, harder to read screen. If I want to use phone features, my actual phone is less than a foot from my wrist.

kent_eh,

I can’t believe how easy it is to get a forklift certification.

That varies by jurisdiction.

Where I am, it requires a theory test and an in-person practical test.

And you need to re-certify every 3 years.

Luke : I can eat fifty eggs.

Dragline : Nobody can eat fifty eggs.

Society Red : You just said he could eat anything.

Dragline : Did you ever eat fifty eggs?

Luke : Nobody ever eat fifty eggs

kent_eh,

I kind of hate when people ask my things like that because I often had a fun weekend

I hate it for exactly the opposite reason - I seldom go anywhere or do anything interesting the weekend.

kent_eh,

Tell me who are youuuu

kent_eh,

I suspect it’s largely become a habit from people being on platforms that have automatic blocked word filters.

kent_eh,

So what games do you play when you just wanna relax?

Solitaire

For Leftists: What happens when a content creator has a questionable guest on?

Hi. This question is for leftists mostly. If you watch a content creator that’s on the left, but they have a questionable guest on, do you continue to watch that creator or do you find a different creator to watch? I sometimes watch The Convo Couch and Danny Haiphong, but they’ve had very questionable guests on and I can’t...

kent_eh,

if the host doesn’t call them out on lies and misinformation, I’m done.

That’s a very important factor.

kent_eh,

Some assumptions are common with teleporting.

If it takes the same time to travel 10 meters or 10000 kilometers that kinda implies faster than light.

kent_eh,

world travel becomes something possible to do any time of any day on a whim, you could do anything.

I feel like Greek food for lunch, suddenly appears at a cafe in Athens.

Maybe some chocolate for dessert, pops into Switzerland for a moment , then back home in time for my kid’s soccer game.

kent_eh,

Do any of those names have a snowballs chance in hell to prevent Trump or Biden from winning the election?

In the real world, I mean, not in your imaginary perfect world.

What's stopping banks from creating FOSS (or atleast open-source) banking solutions (apps)?

Let’s say, I create a bank with the caveat that all of my banking phone apps and webapps are FOSS (or if they depend on non-free components — banks probably do to communicate with each other —, then just OSS). Am I going to be behind the competition by doing this?...

kent_eh,

Banks are opposed to anything that is “free”.

Unless it’s free to them exclusively.

kent_eh,

Who knows.

Maybe sandwiches have been completely forgotten and you can make a nice little business out of making perfectly ordinary sandwiches.

kent_eh,

Depends if the future is Star Trek type utopia or Terminator style post rise of the machines.

kent_eh,

Yes to both questions.

kent_eh,

I told you it wasn’t important.
