I could see this. I honestly think chicken wings are better cold too

In the same way that the USPS operates at a loss

In November I somehow convinced a company to hire me as director of IT. Now I have 7 IT techs and 3 software devs under me. I had never been in a management position before (not even fast food or something like that) but it was like a $30k/yr raise so i took it.

I started off wondering how they hadn’t figured out that I had literally 0 idea what I was doing. But I’ve started to realize that nobody in middle management has any idea what they are doing haha.

So, go and lie to interviewers. Worse case you get fired and you can lie to another set of them. Nobody cares and even fewer people actually understand what’s going on.

Australia was really fun because man do they know how to properly roast someone. They’d come up with some of the most creative ways to call me a fuck ass yank and then buy my next beer haha

(Although, I absolutely whooped everyone down there in darts and I’m not even that good haha)

I’ve only met one person from France in my life. It was at a music festival here in the states. I asked him if he knew where a specific stage was and through that thick French accent he said “go fuck yourself” and then walked away.

Obviously a sample size of one doesn’t represent a whole country but yeah.

Source Code release could be complicated, especially for games that aren’t 30 years old because the devs don’t start over from scratch every time so there would still be an enormous amount of proprietary code in it.

Itd be cool (and as impractical as it is, I believe all code should be open sources) but not really feasible

There used to be but the moderators forgot to sign up for HP Smart® Instant Ink™ and used non-authorized ink (first party ink ordered directly from HPs website) so it got shut down 😔

Yeah but if they let users control the data then how are they supposed to sell it to insurance companies to boost their value to VCs???

Hmm you’re right. I thought it was closer to 0 ad, but it looks like it was closer to 600-300 bc.

Doesn’t change my point though.

Sure, but comparing what people thought 2000 years ago to what they think now is a fruitless endeavor.

The concept of democracy came about around that time too (at least the Greek one, which arguably wasn’t the first but I digress) but should we exclude women and foreigners from it? That’s what the early proponents of democracy wanted.

I’ve had issues with Boost. It just doesn’t seem to be loading my account subscriptions or anything.

Which is a shame cause Boost was my favorite reddit app

Or creating super mutant athletes. Like how fast do you think a modified human body could run? Or jump?

Tbh I don’t think anything would really get done. Politicians would just recycle the same super popular ideas to prevent themselves from getting lynched.

It’d be like how video games companies are just churning out safe titles they know will sell really well, but with our government instead of video games.

Reddit wasn’t launched till 2005 ;)

I mean there’s no sources cause (as far as I can tell) Microsoft isnt planning on nuking their market share.

But with 365, you get the cloud subscription. So that means OneDrive and Office files/emails being accessible in the cloud. Which, to be fair, is largely a really useful thing and besides OneDrive being a piece of shit program I don’t hear any complaints about that being available.

Then when you install Windows it grabs a bunch of hardware IDs. This is things like what memory, CPU, graphics, drives, etc that you have installed and creates a “hardware key” that allows you to activate windows. When it does this, it sends that information off to Microsoft. According to Microsoft, it’s to stop you from using a license key multiple times. But in my experience it doesn’t really matter anymore.

But theoretically (and I really can’t stress how far fetched this really is) Microsoft could mark your account as inactive which would cause you to lose access to all of your cloud files, and could theoretically (again, i can’t stress how unlikely this is) brick your OS install. Then if you try to reinstall, it would already know your computer and prevent the installer from continuing.

And again, I know I’ve beaten this horse, but the chances of this happening are so close to zero, they may as well be.

Honestly this is the most sane take. If the asshole can’t work with 2/3 of the team then they need to GTFO. I don’t have the time or mental bandwidth to deal with shit like that.

They also pay off in a lot of ways besides the pure “dollar in/dollar out” kind of way that I think people forget about a lot. Things like soft power, economic growth, and cultural alliance are all incredibly powerful things.

Its a shame the current administration is trying to gut the last 80 years of work the US has put into those things.

Detroit style pizza is legit pizza. Don’t be mad we can do your thing better than you haha

I’m just saying, panicking basically never helps any situation and can even make things much worse. As much as that might go against human nature, not panicking will help you in infinitely more situations than panicking.

The evil-doers are sub-human and should be culled without mercy until I’m right.

I know what you mean but that sentence is really funny when 1.5 sentences earlier you said “it’s why dehumanization is the first step to commiting atrocities” haha
