I’m a fan of slow food myself. Sure I’ll get a Döner to go in a pinch (which doesn’t require cutlery) but all this fast food, in some cases daily, can’t be good.

And constantly eating fast food from disposable dishes with a plastic fork. 🙄

Probably downvoted by the same people that would downvote my above comment. 🙄

Yes but only on YouTube and for the most harmless of comments.

Mr. Schubert? Is this you?

My first department head during my apprenticeship had a mug like that for his Coke Light. Takes me back a quarter of a century. Damn, I’m getting old.

'tis the season, I guess?

Same.

Almost!

The economy is not made for living beings.

Life exists, and there is no will nor force that can make it compatible with “the economy”. Certainly not in all the ways that its deranged acolytes are calling for.

But the other way around? Let’s give it an honest try, shall we?

Sweet sleep. Speaking of which, back to bed I go. 😴💤

Ads are a brainwashing technique designed to turn my baser instincts against myself for someone else’s gain. And they’re unwanted content that disrupts the flow of the content I’ve chosen to watch.

What is it with those USB dongles? Mine also just died after a while. But yeah, the Xbox controller is great and since it uses regular Bluetooth, the dongle isn’t the only way to connect it.

Noah Caldwell-Gervais. Thank me later.

I feel like they’ve gotten better over time. And some settings you’re really only supposed to be changing if you know what you’re doing.

Dialogues that don’t require clicking OK to apply my selection. What if I change my mind or click the wrong thing?

Here’s a past annoyance: help text for BIOS settings that was like

Tronic memory catalyst conversion ratio: Sets the ratio of tronic memory catalyst conversion.

O RLY? 🤔

Blue LEDs are eye piercing, especially when they are always on and you are trying to sleep in the same room.

Users are lazy AF and hate to read. No matter how instructive the error message, some people would rather open a helpdesk ticket because “the computer isn’t working again”.

It says right there your USB drive is full and suggests deleting some files to free up space, Karen! 🤨

Actually, I think you’re both right. Yes, Joe Rogan (as a cultural phenomenon) has no good reason to exist and I, too, want to see him destroyed.

But the evidence is mounting that many people love to listen to a wretched, moronic, self-important piece of shit like him (or Alex Jones or countless others on the right). Because he validates all of their worst tendencies for bigotry, conspiracist thinking, and intellectual laziness. Building up another Hasan Piker or Jimmy Dore isn’t helping because all they do is preach to the choir.

If you want meaningful change you have to get money out of politics, reform the voting system, and focus on education. Not that any of that is going to happen without a major upheaval but hey, I’m trying to be constructive here…

Fun!

My favorite NES “soundtrack” is Dark Side of the Moon, Brad Smith’s fantastic adaptation of the Pink Floyd classic for the NES console.

Some people just can’t handle being released from Plato’s cave.
