What a twist. In the 90s, the internet forced countries to wake up to the new modern era. It was a combination of American companies wanting both to expand and provide goodwill.

And now, this new era is going to tell American companies to fuck off.

I worked on a piece of software where they thought I was the same person as the two other folks, because we spoke/sound alike/had similar timestamps.

Really it was because we’d get group chatted the message and respond at the same time.

Getting banned from .ml is a badge of honor!

Don’t even feel bad

Eh? You do realize most people on Lemmy are not on TikTok.

We’re laughing at it all and enjoying the popcorn.

Windows with a hand crank saved me when I was stuck in a car as a kid. Now you get out, you gotta smash it.

I was so happy when I saw some modern KIAs use analog controls.

Then I checked KIAs reliability and safety score and died.

$125k over five years is stupid. That’s $25k a year for five years.

GoDaddy made 4.481B last year.

For math nerds, that’s 179,240 times the penalty.

I’m trying to follow the logic here.

Skinny people don’t get burns? What?

So cute.

Imagine the proposal. He gets on his knees, barfs blood. The words… “will you marry me?”

Her wound opens up.

“YES!!!”

They both hold hands in the hospital bed.

Look at this guy who doesn’t lives in a country where insurance companies can deny you services!

They moved into “dumpster fire” territory significantly more than “fucking amazing”, sadly. Like one good expansion, three bad updates and two bad expansions, one good update.

Don’t forget Path of Exile.

Id argue a bunch of early access games that get constant updates are Live Service games too.

And indie games like Terraria and Minecraft were the best examples of live service.

Would be better if you can earn skibidi toilet emoji dances for Kratos

While playing the single player masterpiece which was God of War, I absolutely thought: “The only way to make this game better is if I had the luxury of buying a battle pass to grind for seasonal cosmetics along with a dozen other people.” 🤤🤤🤤🤑

Truth.

I hate on HR. But I do not envy them having to pour through thousands of shitty applications.

We got about 7 stage-2 interviews out of 2000 applications. (Stage 1 is just the introduction and checking if they’re not a bozo. Stage 2 is actual dept folks)

Got a cold email? &hit them with that sweet chat gbt copy pasta!

Wait what? Can you give me more details?

Sorry I’m too American because I bend over and accept corporate penetration.

I have a sun lamp and take pills to potentially avoid SAD.

That’s correct! Not very common for dealerships to accept a credit card for the payment, even a down payment.

And I didn’t feel comfortable handing them cash directly.

I guess I could have given them my debit card. But giving them a check with a paper trail seemed more secure in my head. Uncertain if that’s true or not.

Well yeah. It’s when you shove your ✏️ into the magnetic tape so you can destroy it because it contained evidence of the time you pooped the bed and then tried to toss it out the window.

Now ✏️ and cassette are a different thing.

I’m 40 and I just used to a check to pay for a car.
