This is so 2015…now it would be “Once elected, I will murder every single one of you” and they would reply with joy in unisson: “Hurrah, free lamb chops for everyone, you’re our saviour!!!”
It’s gonna happen to you and your grandkids are gonna be wondering how you managed to get scammed by such obvious AI mimicking government entities with it’s own complex ecosystem running milliseconds behind reality.
My family member who I often lock horns over politics was almost scammed. Everyone eas giving him a hard time and he was anxious about me giving him shit. I told him, it wasn’t his fault someone tried to steal from you. Theyre in the wrong, not you. He was very taken back and grateful. It can happen to anyone those Cock Dinosaurs try to induce fight or flight.
despite being tech savvy and knowledgeable about various scamming methods I once nearly fell for an obvious scam.
I was expecting a package and when I woke up in the morning I saw on my phone that there was a delivery attempt. Clicked the link to redirect/retry delivery and only when it asked me for my banking details it hit me- what the hell was the postman doing at 5am trying to deliver packages?
anybody can get scammed, hell, the famous “i troll scammers” youtube guy once fell for a scam and nearly lost his youtube account! Getting cocky is the worst you can do
I like that Cory Doctorow is pretty open about having been scammed despite being quite well informed, because it really can happen to anyone. It just takes the right convergence of factors.
Ah, I mistook “american cheese” with “cheddar”. The first isnt cheese, the second one is. Those american slices in the "cheese"burger, those that come out od the plastic wrapper, we in Switzerland call them “Cheddar” as well.
American cheese often does contain actual cheddar. It’s basically a cheese blend that is mixed together with sodium citrate. I live in Germany and American cheese cannot be sold as “cheese” here, the industry usually calls it “Sandwichscheiben”, but maybe Switzerland is less strict.
Actually, part of the reason that American cheese cannot be called “cheese” even in the US is that it’s not just cheese + sodium citrate anymore. For cost reasons, it’s now cheese + butter + skim milk powder + sodium citrate.
Funnily enough, taking my glasses off in a dream and still being able to see is how I've realized I was I a dream a couple times. Unfortunately I immediately get way too excited at the prospect and immediately wake up every time haha
Sleepwalking is correlated with stress levels. I’ve sleepwalked a few times in my life; some I half-remember, but most not at all, I only know if I find out from someone else like family/friends/partners.
When I was a teenager, I had a wall scroll that hung above the head of my bed. One morning, I found it piled on the floor next to my bed. It could have been one of my family, but they all denied it and there’s no motivation anyway. I had to conclude that I did it in my sleep, but it’s stuck with me because I’ve always found it extremely disturbing that I’m up and about while I’m completely (or nearly completely) unconscious. I’ve lived in a few skyscrapers with windows and balcony doors that opened more than enough for me to jump, and the idea that I’ll wake up halfway down scares the everfucking bejeezus out of me.
They are both great. Johnny’s is definitely more than ok. Even subjectively speaking. You can say you dont like it, or it’s not for you, but objectively, it hits many nails on many heads and is an excellent version. Im not a fan of either band/artist. NiN has some great songs that i have heard. Johnny cash does, too. Hurt is definitely one of the best from both (of what i have heard)
I’m willing to say definitely that if you like the original, you have to like the remake. The only exception is if you’re trying really hard to show your NIN Fandom. But if you relax that instinct for 1 minute, you will like the Johnny Cash version.
I just like the original context of anger and frustration about drug addiction more than country western melancholy.
I tried wording that in a way that doesn’t sound like a dig at Cash’s version, but that really is how I see the difference. One is just more energetic and in the moment while the other is looking back in resignation and the former is my personal preference. Cash’s version is fine, I just disagree that his is better when both are peak quality for their genres.
Though counterpoint: if someone is willing to spend $3000+ on an apple computer and cool swag. The ads already worked.
However, if the Q/A on your product is so bad, that someone who spends $3000+ would rather install an ad-block to get rid of that experience, maybe the quality assurance on those ads or products aren't as good as people think.
So, let me unpack what happened, from my point of view. I’m not complaining or anything, just pointing out how it seemed from my end.
I made a comment that I personally didn’t like the show because of how many times people around kept saying I was like the main character.
You replied directly to me implying that nerds should like the show because it normalizes dating them. (Which I agree is a good thing.)
I replied to say that doesn’t apply to me, and I’m not sure why it was relevant to my comment.
Finally, you left a comment to call me names.
Do you see how that entire interaction makes no sense from my side of things? I said that I didn’t like a show, and you inserted yourself into the conversation to complain that hot women should want to date me because of the show. Then, when I said that had nothing to do with what I was saying, you insulted me.
Oh. Makes sense. To be honest, I really didn’t care enough to bother checking their profile or any other comments. Just saw the response today and wanted to try and offer some sort of olive branch or something. idk
I rewatched a few season 1 episodes a few years back. I remember them actually being funny aside from the canned laughter. It ran for way longer than it should have though and got tiring pretty quickly
I heard this for years while the show was running. I refused to watch the show as well. I decided to start watching it recently.
It turns out that what people were referring to when they likened me to Sheldon was my autistic traits. Sheldon incorporates a lot of specific autistic traits in his character and I am autistic. The funny thing is, one of the people that was constantly comparing me to Sheldon was a good friend of mine who was also autistic but I guess she is somewhere else on the spectrum which is why it was easier for her to associate me with Sheldon than herself.
I guess my point is to tell you that sometimes people make uneducated guesses and comparisons that may end up seeming funny when you realize why they made them. Watch the show. Laugh at them for comparing you to an exaggerated TV persona because you were different from what they expect the average person to be.
Some roundabout way of calling you autistic. The show is literal garbage though I tried watching it a few times but it’s just akward autistic social interaction with plenty of cringe the tv show. Real life autistic people I know are split between hating it for feeling like they are being made fun of to loving it to the point of memorizing every line word for word and being unable to stop themselves from reciting the lines in time with the episode on the screen which honestly scares the hell out of me.
They use the 4 male leads to make fun of nerdy, generally neurodivergent coded people. One of the leads is an unrepentant asshole and the show seems to argue that he must be an asshole because he’s autistic, though they never explicitly state that.
If you happen to be neurodivergent, and grew up being harassed for expressing some of the same traits represented by those characters, the show leaves an all too familiar, very bitter taste. All the while acknowledging that those characters grew up in exactly the same circumstances the show seeks to recreate for laughs.
If you’re a neurodivergent person, the show is saying to you that “you have trouble fitting in in the society you live in, that we’ve created, and that’s funny to us.”
Kinky. But no, not necessarily. You could say that one of them is the actual person and the other “person” is just the first person’s shadow. It’s a stretch, but it’s the best I’ve got.
Honestly, I stopped using Nintendo because of all the joycon issues, the fact they’ve been mainly just remaking the same games for 30 years and they screwed Wii u customers. You need to re buy the same games again.
On Wii u, not sure if this changed, but if you broke the main controller, you basically couldn’t replace it.
They have a better rep than Microsoft and Sony , but I’m not convinced they deserve it
No idea why anyone would buy anything except a steamdeck these days
