rambaroo,

Imagine the smell

rambaroo,

They also had to get sued by multiple states before they started offering refunds in the US. Valve doesn’t do anything that doesn’t make them money. They just have a longer term view towards profit than a publicly traded company. That’s what lemmy/reddit doesn’t understand.

rambaroo,

Should they have all worked more crunch time instead?

rambaroo,

No that’s just how bad our system is that even this dev is saying if one of them stops working they’ll be homeless. And the tech job market right now is the worst it’s been since 2008, he may not have many options in reality.

Devs are still workers like everyone else even though a lot of them think they’re above it all.

rambaroo,

Most aren’t bad off, but this guy is not your usual situation. The point is that a little bad luck can fuck over anyone other than the rich

rambaroo,

Fuck

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.

rambaroo,

People worked 12 hour shifts 6 days a week back then with no minimum wage. A lot of people lived in company towns and didn’t even get paid in real money. Child labor was legal and widespread, although some shit hole states are getting back to that.

Things are bad now but anyone who thinks it’s as bad as it was in the gilded age is either delusional or extremely ignorant. There’s a reason the progressive era happened, people were pushed beyond their limits and propaganda couldn’t make up for that anymore.

rambaroo, (edited )

Domino’s is way cheaper than an actual Italian pizza in the US.

It’s also shit pizza, I’d rather buy a frozen one and put my own stuff on it. Then it’s cheaper and better.

rambaroo,

It’s embarrassing how butthurt people are about this post. Euros can’t take a joke.

rambaroo,

Hey asshole, if you don’t want to tip waiters then you can stop eating out. Especially on a holiday. Fuck this entitled attitude that you get to punish workers because of cultural/business decisions out of their control… And fuck lemmy for upvoting you.

rambaroo,

A Debian blend like SpiralLinux might be better for less technical people. Debian is one of my favorite distros but it’s pretty bare bones and requires some configuration to become an everday usage desktop.

rambaroo,

Never had an issue with Debian upgrades

rambaroo,

Lol, so not supporting genocide is now antisemitism. Other people got to commit genocide so Israel should too. All while acting like Israel is getting piled on for no reason other than being Jewish, as if no one’s criticized Russia or China or South Africa for the same thing.

That’s some evil manipulative fucking shit right there.

rambaroo,

Tbf they only sound “extremely distinct” to British people. A lot of those accents are hard to distinguish for non-native speakers or people outside the UK.

rambaroo,

Lmao to me Britain has two accents, Scottish and English. The rest sound the same. Y’all think your accents are so special to the point where it gets cringe sometimes.

rambaroo,

It’s funny when people confidently make shit up on the Internet

rambaroo,

No one really does that though. The Motion Picture being a bad a movie is widely acknowledged by pretty much everyone. The classics are II-VI, except for V which also sucks.

rambaroo,

Well that also undid the lore that says all the humanoid races have a common ancestor which I thought was one of the few good pieces of ST lore.

rambaroo,

Discovery and Picard are just bad shows to me, especially Picard. It annoys me when people try to reduce criticism to just not liking something new. The Abrams movies and Discovery depart from previous iterations in some really important ways to the point that they don’t feel like the same franchise anymore.

Also really annoys me when people bring up some of the TNG movies to “prove” that old trek did some of the same annoying things, when those movies are also bad and widely criticized.

I do like SNW though. Better than Enterprise and probably Voyager as well.

rambaroo,

III is ok but I wouldn’t say it’s bad. At least not as bad as TMP and V. There’s always people being contrarians about movies though. The general consensus is that TMP is super boring.

Of course everyone has their own taste. Maybe some people like how slow TMP is. It’s a very different movie from the Abrams series so I wouldn’t automatically invalidate someone who liked it but not the new ones. I can’t stand Abrams’ hectic/ADHD filming style so I’ve never liked his take on ST. But that doesn’t mean the old ones are all good, the TNG movies are basically all trash except for first contact.

Dozens of health organizations pledge ‘full support’ for federal ban on menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars (www.cnn.com)

Eighty national public health groups, including the American Heart Association, the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Preventative Medicine, placed a full-page ad in Sunday’s edition of the Washington Post in support of a federal ban on menthol in cigarettes and all...

rambaroo,

You can just buy menthol infusers online. This law will do nothing

rambaroo,

When someone demands an end to murdering Palestinians and you call them a terrorist supporter, you are calling all Palestinians terrorists. Stop being a coward and admit it.

rambaroo,

I absolutely do not want this. I play TLOU for the immersion and the story. As soon as you add multiplayer you can throw immersion out the window, and I just don’t see how they can make a multiplayer game story-focused.

I’m scared they’ll go the gta route and abandon the single player for a long time so they can focus on mtx bullshit. Whatever they’re doing is almost certainly taking time away from TLOU 3

rambaroo,

Lmao, how does this bullshit get upvotes? Is chrome on android not chrome because it isn’t bit for bit the same as on desktop? This is an incredibly blatant attempt to circumvent regulations. It is absolutely absurd to make this argument.

rambaroo,

McCarthy explicitly refused to work with Democrats on the vast majority of issues. The dude was an enormous coward

rambaroo,

It’s not a valid point because McCarthy didn’t work with Democrats on virtually any issue. He repeatedly told Dems to go fuck themselves. Dude was a moron who had no clue how to play politics and somehow thought he could get away with pissing everyone on both sides off. Complete coward.

It’s incredible to me that people like you think your opinions are valid when you clearly don’t know shit about the issue at hand. It’s telling that you pin all the blame on democrats when moderate Republicans could have just as easily cured for a Dem speaker.

rambaroo,

McCarthy was a gigantic coward who couldn’t be trusted for anything. The Dems would negotiate with him and the next day he’d turncoat and go back on it. You can’t make deals with people like him in politics. He had no strength to say no to the maga crowd.

It’s very likely we’d be in the exact same situation today with McCarthy because the man repeatedly caved to maga. Even towards the end of his tenure he was still attacking Democrats even though they were the only people who could save him at that point.

The moron couldn’t realize that he had a choice between being a moderate aisle-crosser or a magahead. He tried to choose neither, which resulted in him having zero support, which is why he’s out of job now.

rambaroo,

YNAB is a waste of money imo. It’s literally just a spreadsheet with a bunch of mumbo jumbo to justify you paying for it while still manually doing all the work.

rambaroo,

Except the auto-imports fuck up constantly which means you need to manually reconcile them. And they straight up discourage you from using auto imports in the first place. You’re “supposed” to reconcile all accounts manually in YNAB.

On top of that you have to make sure every transaction is categorized correctly, so there definitely is manual work to do.

It’s a spreadsheet with a cult, nothing more.

rambaroo,

Ah yes just keep lying about how Israel totally didn’t sabotage those peace deals deliberately.

rambaroo,

That’s exactly what they are. Royalty made up the idea of divine right and then let the church in on the deal to provide legitimacy to it.

rambaroo,

They have class consciousness and therefore they can pool their resources together to fuck the rest of us.

Israeli Military Warns Al Jazeera Correspondent in Gaza to Leave Home or Die (www.democracynow.org)

Al Jazeera is condemning threats by the Israeli army against the family of its Gaza correspondent Youmna ElSayed. On Monday, ElSayed’s husband received a call from Israeli forces warning family members to immediately leave their home or be killed in a bombardment. The threat comes just days after an Israeli strike killed 12...

rambaroo,

Threatening to murder journalists is what the good guys do

rambaroo,

Yeah it’s so incredible that they’re threatening all the press in Gaza

rambaroo,

So you’re the type of person who would be onboard with Nazis because it was the thing to do in Germany

rambaroo,

Mine is a little less in rural mideast.

rambaroo,

Yeah if you’re spending 50% of your disposable income on rent, it’s “affordable”

Meanwhile I make similar money with WFH but I own a house with a mortgage less than half of that ridiculous rent rate.

rambaroo,

You’d be surprised, a lot of them are lying or living paycheck to paycheck because they’re morons who don’t know how to manage money or just want to blow it in fancy things like many dumb people do

rambaroo,

Yes

rambaroo,

Hallucinations aren’t the only issue with LLMs, they also have a limited amount of context they can recall and that problem won’t go away.

rambaroo,

The Crosstrek has an incredibly short body. I wanted to get one but my head touched the ceiling with the seat fully adjusted. I’m tall, but not that tall.

rambaroo,

Seems like a lot if manufacturers are just bad at design because my Forester has incredible visibility, easily the best of any car I’ve owned. It’s arguably a bit ugly because of it, but I don’t care about that much.

rambaroo,

People absolutely saw Iraq as retaliation for 9/11 too. The bush admin repeatedly lied about Iraq having ties to Al Qaeda.

rambaroo,

Who would qualify as liberal republican?

rambaroo,

Yeah I wish my 5a was a little smaller, it’d be perfect. Still been a great phone so far. But my screen is scratched to hell because I forgot to put a protector on it.

rambaroo,

You keep calling these people “wealthy” but the income levels you shared don’t even come close to matching that. Also lol at the idea of America being an idealistic place so that’s why people should pay this tax. My fucking ass. America is and always has been rigged for rich people, which should immediately tell you why this law still exists.

How about we actually tax real wealthy people, like millionaires loaning money to themselves, instead of forcing the middle class to pick up the slack yet again?
