Yeah, I’ve been looking for a job for three years, and based on the number of times I’ve reached the final round of interviews only to get kicked down, I’ve started to wonder if I’m on some sort of blacklist.

Quitting Reddit.

Late to Work

Your New Morning Alarm

I use both of these depending on which day of the week it is.

According to the liquor stores in my hometown, it does, and people get fake ones to buy wine with a debit card.

I’ve bought plenty of games that turned out to be dogshit, and the only solace they’ve provided is the ability to recoup some of the money by selling or trading the games. The physical games I do own are carefully curated, and I can still play all of them. I don’t want to be put in a position where I can’t get my money back AND I’m stuck with some shitty Hogwarts game.

You aren’t off-base, you just aren’t taking Sony’s, Nintendo’s, Microsoft’s tendencies to say “You don’t own that game you bought anymore” into account. Games are way too expensive to be able to brush off the full price of a game that you have every reason to be able to go back to after years of not playing them. Don’t put your trust in companies, especially after decades of eroding consumer trust.

Steam doesn’t do this (anywhere nearly as often). The lesson you should be getting from this new game sales trajectory is that if buying isn’t owning, then piracy isn’t theft. Don’t reward companies for clawing back any benefits you have of buying something. All you’re doing is ceding ground that you won’t get back.

Because the entire point of it is to extract capital without having to pay for labor. That’s what the push to develop it is. Of course it’s losing money, once the companies that are training it think they can, it won’t matter that they lost money, because they’ll be able to print money for free after it’s fully cooked.

It’s also fucking lazy to use it. Exercise your brain. Think thoughts for yourself. Improve yourself to the point where you don’t need to have a machine organize your thoughts for you.

Seconding Nothing phones

Don’t try to get out of it. It’s the most power you will ever get as a single citizen in the US. You can make the difference in someone else’s life, and it may be a matter of life and death based on a law that you don’t even think should exist. If you ever have a trial by jury, you don’t want to be judged by a group of people who couldn’t think of a good-enough excuse to get out of it, you want smart people who will potentially put their foot in the door between you and unjust laws.

Read up on jury nullification. Try to get on a jury. Don’t tell them anything they don’t ask directly. Dress like anything but who they think they don’t want on their jury during the voir dire process.

I was summoned once, but no juries were selected that day. My younger brother was the foreperson of a grand jury.

I’ve heard Australia described as “Texas if it only had sea borders”

Xbox apparently used to encode a console’s serial number into the loading animation of the Xbox logo in the corner of your screen to figure out who broke NDAs within the company.

Dog training isn’t to train your dog, it’s to train you how to train your dog.

Positive reinforcement goes a lot further than negative reinforcement

Teach your dog to put a stick/ball/toy on top of your shoe so you just have to kick to throw it. It’ll save your back.

I took them out because the beeping was giving me a headache

I have one of those insulated food containers, and I reheat curry, chili, gumbo, dirty rice, hummus bake, etc. before I leave for work. By lunch, it’s usually lukewarm, but passable. It beats the shitty food I’d get for free at the cafeteria.

I got really sick of rational thought being swept aside to maintain a status quo on Reddit, and looked for alternatives. All of the non-political subs weren’t worth staying.

Paprika, garlic powder, salt, oregano and brown sugar. It makes a great rub.

Ski instructor, and absolutely not. Water and electrolytes help prevent cramping, but I basically fall onto my couch when I get home. If it’s still light out, I can walk my dog a mile or two, but I’m hobbling.
