Doordash alone has proven that people will buy anything at any price. Someone with severe depression takes it as a mental health tax, someone with a bunch of money takes it as a convenience fee, and doordash laughs all the way to the bank

Recently? The last like 7 generations of “sport-year” games are all the same game.

Yeah let me find 20 million dollars to make that movie

Caffeine pills. Alternatively, basically the same way you do alcohol

Many people fundamentally do not understand that a child is not a pet, and should more often than not be treated with the same or higher respect as an adult

British person spotted

(Joking, but this joke is straight out of taskmaster or something)

You miss 100% of shots you dont take

I recall a story where a historian visited ireland and heard a song with what the people singing called gibberish, but the historian recognized as an ancient language.

Im unfortunately too lazy to look it up and link it

I think this is how doctors expect me to answer auestions about alcohol and smoking. Ive smoked kne cigarette ever, and a single beer gets me drunk for the night, about once a week. Doctors hear that and think im having 3 hot dogs before i get to work

Yeah. Youd be surprised how many people just throw away computers. Ask around, im sure someone you know has one lying around theyd like to get rid of (maybe with some minor problem like needing a new hard drive or something)

Its easy to say something like “my camera for this shoot costs $5k, you could rent it for $300 a day and do it yourself” but people dont really care about art or skill. If youre shooting a wedding, for example, there are hundreds of little candid moments that your friend John the Designated Driver wouldn’t catch that Natalie GirlWhoDoesThisForALiving would.

Not to mention there aren’t enough weddings a day to sustain someone for $300 per, and youre competing with others, and blah blah blah.

I tend to follow my instinct of “your art is worth whatever you say it is”. If i like your art and i like your price, ill pay it, no haggling. If i dont like one or either, i apologize for wasting your time.

I would believe so. Hes kind of just a stylized mafia boss

I love every flavor they have except chocolate. The chocolate is disgusting

I knew a guy on food stamps who voted for trump because he planned on being a billionaire through the powerball.

People would rather live in the reality of their fantasies than our current one… Which is why we need socialism.

Ask 4 different americans and all four will have different answers, all with negative associations. Unless you meet me, in which case i begin foaming at the mouth.

The idea is that common knowledge is the tip of the iceberg, and as you go deeper you get more niche and involved. A math iceberg, for example, would start with addition and subtraction, go into exponents, radicals, algebra, then imaginary numbers, series, set theory, then calculus, proofs, theoretical stuff.

The problem is they became popular, so its really just “stuff i wanted to talk about in a particular order”. Tier lists are slightly better designed, but people also vastly misinterpret the purpose of those as well; i highly suspect most tier list makers dont even know where S tier comes from

“Women like having rights and i want them to make me sandwiches.”

Conservatives and incels loooovvvveee to feel entitled to things personaly, which is kind of crazy because you’d think theyd support socialism in that case. Socialism distributes resources evenly, so in the dystopian end game where women are still treated as objects, every man would get 1 woman. Meanwhile the capitalist equivalent requires you to provide something of value for trade, which many of these men simply do not have

Yeah. I highly suspect its mostly people who need Ubuntu for job purposes and have security policies or just the C-suite refusing to follow the times

Most people hardly need internet at all, but that doesnt mean the option shouldnt be available. Working in IT, ive had architects in remote areas attempting to download revit files (sometimes many gigabytes in size) over a T1 connection (maximum 1.5mb/s). We convinced them to swap to a 4g connection after much back and forth.

Our internet needs are going up more and more over time, especially in the age of “vibe code and ship it”. There are gonna be massive webpages, high quality video, and large downloads more often. 1gbps isn’t that crazy of a goal to hit when my co-ax cable is putting out ~300 mbps.

Personally, just working from home, i have several instances where i need to download gigabyte+ files on company time, sometimes multiple times a day, but fiber isnt available yet. Add on my wife streaming something, guests phone connections, throttling, or just wifi interference and suddenly my 300mbps becomes something like 150 mbps or less, making an hour process 2 hours. Make it 5g and cloudy and now im fired for wasting company time.

The reality is that we’re a big nation, and big nations are expensive and have insane needs. 1gbps can be achieved over coax fairly easily with enough infrastructure, but ISPs haaaatttteeee spending money when they can just collect a check instead

People ask this for every boycott or nationwide movement. The real answer is that more people do it if more time is given.

Theres a reason those facebook posts or tiktoks of “We’re boycotting ___ right now indefinitely!” Never really gain traction. Having one day where normies get to join in too and the data gets a sharp spike in activity is how change is noticed and effective.

“5 flock cameras are cut down nationwide weekly” is much less evocative than “On Halloween, 50,000 flock cameras were taken down in 3 hours” or something
