Everything you said after “pretend they’re Spartans” would be lost on them, because they only know what the movie 300 has taught them.

“what’s a Thermo-pile? What’s the navy gotta do with Spartans? Stop trying to bring slavery into everything, Spartans wasn’t woke”

You ask a bunch of questions about a task in order to convince the client that the task doesn’t need to be done at all.

I ask a bunch of questions because I’ve forgotten half the answers already and am trying to make enough stick that I can make something close enough they don’t notice my attention is wandering while they blather.

We are not the same.

Vanilla pudding in mayo jars.

Blue sport drink in index bottles.

I mean if we are being fair here, crush his legs, sell the car and use the money for charity. Perhaps a charity that helps people with mobility. And builds bike lanes.

This is exactly the dumb shit take from y2k.

I Still hear people go on about how “it was supposed to be this big thing and then nothing happened! Smart people are so dumb!”

Yeah nothing happened because a lot of smart people worked very hard to fix the goddamn problem, you fucking shitwaffle.

Here? “You dum dums got so worked up thinking it would pass and then it didn’t, so the freak out was for nothing!” yeah it didn’t pass because a lot of Europeans got very upset about their governments trying to spy on them harder than ever.

I’m not European, so I can’t say how people talked about it openly on the metro with random strangers, but online? People were vocal and pissed. A PROPER government (lol can we have some of that functioning democracy please) listens to its people. This was them listening to the people.

The people’s reaction was appropriate, and necessary. And shouldn’t be lessened just because “lol you guys got so propaganda’d and it was obviously never gonna happen and I knew cause I’m so smart” is quite the take on things.

Weird, I was literally just thinking about FLoB last week, and meant to see if he ever got there.

My wife asked what I was doing, so that side tracked me into explaining the Far Lands, and we ended up playing Minecraft for the night.

I honestly expected it to take WAY longer to get there.

reads manual

You’re only confused because I’m dumb! For some reason I was thinking toner and laser were separate types.

I bought a toner printer in 2020 and I’m still on the first replacement cart. I have over 2000 pages printed.

Considering I spent $80, plus $40 on the new two pack of toner, I consider it money well spent.

I do wish I had bought a laser printer though… There are things I would like to begin printing that will be several thousand pages after it’s all finished. Mostly reference materials. DISREGRD THIS I DUM

If I wanted to go through the process of trying to recover my facebook, I guarantee I would get a few dozen people tossing out hand emojis and saying “amen” before anyone notices I’m not talking about the christian god

I used to play black ops 1 a shitload. I was fresh out of highschool and it was my first online game after getting internet. I already liked FPS games and this was interactive FPS with actual skilled people instead of shitty bullet sponge bots.

As for why people love them so much now? I have no idea. I’m sure I also wouldn’t have cared for them if I had played online games earlier in life.

I’d much rather have a compelling story nowadays.

Damn, that’s the same bass-ackwards logic that record companies use to say piracy makes them lose money.

Spoiler alert: the majority of people pirating your stuff would not have otherwise purchased it. You have lost nothing.

Similarly, the majority of people using gamepass to play the game would absolutely not have bought the game, especially since it’s the same game as last time, with new names and skins.

For instance: the last call of duty game I bought was MW3. I only played black ops 2 when someone got two copies for their birthday and gave one to me I only remember playing for the zombies. I have played a total of less than 30 minutes, from startup screen to shutdown, of all the call of duties since then. Absolutely no chance in hell I’d buy another one. But I’m sure Microsoft would have included me trying it out as a potential lost sale of every one of them.

edit: wow, Redditors are better at accepting the truth, lol

So go pander to them.

If I own something, I can do whatever I like with it because it’s mine.

If I can’t do what I like, it’s not truly mine.

Yeah I got mildly excited when I read the title, and now I’m just mildly irritated.

Good for pc players though, it’s something!

Oh my god if I could take a train to work I would be soooooo happy.

1: trains

B- I could leave slightly later and be relaxed most of the time

III• if there’s dense fog like today or severe weather, I don’t have to stress out for 30 minutes going 20 in a 55 because I can’t see 150ft ahead of me.

I used to work in a warehouse that made a HUGE deal about the employees using the proper recycling bin so the company can get a nice check from somewhere or other for “going green”

This warehouse recieved thousands of pallets every day.

Each pallet is wrapped with hundreds of square feet of plastic wrap.

Each box is individually wrapped with maybe 10ftsq-50 depending on size.

Each box contains goods in plastic bags. Many of them with plastic clamshell packaging.

The products get unwrapped, and placed in larger boxes on shelves.

When the items get distributed to stores, the items were put in plastic bags, boxed up and wrapped in plastic wrap, boxes placed on pallets that were automatically wrapped by machines in hundreds of square feet of plastic.

None of the plastic from the warehouse floor is separated from the general waste.

Remember, it’s your responsibility to reduce waste.

I think of the shareholders, board, c-suites, and all of their friends every time I gaze upon my Guillotine.

Do iiiiiiiiiit.

Let’s do it.

Let’s fucking do it.

I think we should do it.

linguists

Those damn linguists, always so cunning in their ways.

NO WAR BUT CLASS WAR

Fuck it I’m buying it now.

Half life 2 was my first “I can’t wait to get home and play” game, despite having played so many games from basically 97 onward.
