This person was referencing the obtuse and infuriatingly repeated quote from Margaret Thatcher (rot in piss) “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money”.

I don’t think I need to point out exactly why this quote is stupid.

Pizza is always fucking insanely overpriced. I feel like this wasn’t always the case…

The protest isn’t intended to hurt the owner class. The protest is intended to draw attention to the issue. We’re talking about it therefore it’s an effective form of protest.

Without protests like this we go about our lives worrying about bills and ignore the literal apocalyptic catastrophe we’re nose-diving into.

To quote Homer Simpson:

Lisa! If you don’t like your job, you don’t strike. You just go in every day and do it really half-assed. That’s the American way.

I suspect they mean capitalism with a light sprinkle of social safety nets.

Conservatives make the world worse, they get booted out and liberals fail to fix it, they get booted out and then people look for a “strong man” who can cut through red tape and fix things once and for all.

The far right embodies that third person. An extra bonus of a far right rule is the Overton window lurches so far to the right that the conservatives can pretend to be centrist and the liberals pretend to be left-wing.

As far as I recall, you need to perform 3 miracles that have to be verified (yes, I know lmao) by the Catholic church in order to be canonized (dubbed a saint).

Often times these aren’t major miracles with significant outcomes but picture a statue crying or the image of the person appearing on a slice of toast or whatever.

Some of those that work forces…

Do you leave a tip for housekeeping if you're only staying one night in a hotel?

Is it a ‘thank you for prepping my room’ or ‘please clean my room today’? If you tip post cleaning, it’s likely going to someone else the next day. Many hotels now only do housekeeping on demand. How do employees feel about this - do they miss the tips or are they happy for a less stressful workday?...

gerbler ,

The reason why restaurant tipping is usually percentage based is because the level of service expected scales with the price of the items on the menu. The expectations on servers in fine-dining is a lot higher than a neighbourhood pub and so is the price.

It’s just extremely overused. There are other words that could be used but slammed makes it’s way into every second article which is becoming an indicator of a low effort article.

Dentists are not scientists though.

Ok fine ask the nice lady in the lab coat on those Colgate commercials instead.

Abrasives. Same thing as charcoal. Tiny hard particles help remove gunk when you brush them against something.

Unironically the most important question

gerbler ,

Because Apple ran a series of commercials comparing Mac to “PC” to differentiate themselves from the rest of the market but didn’t acknowledge other OSs besides Windows in this series.

Those ads played everywhere and now everyone associates the term PC with Windows.

I could have my timeline off but the first time I heard PC to refer to windows specifically was around the time these commercials aired.

If it’s a subjective matter then no. Like if you thought Blade Runner sucked I might disagree with your opinion but respect that it’s a matter of taste and so I won’t recommend you see the sequel.

If you’re just using “opinion” as a shield for something objective then yes I will. And I will laugh at you for thinking the sky is falling is a matter of opinion.

No they do it for free. These aren’t paid assets they’re angsty disaffected teens.

People who use up more than their third of the locker, forcing others out of their own space are subhuman.

Both. Both is good.

Oh no I’m literally just talking about when I go to stow my suitcase and some goober with 3 suitcases has filled his entire row and is now cramping mine. You’re not special. Check your damn luggage and wait on the carousel like the rest of us!

In Australia we spell and pronounce it solder

restaurants often don’t know how to disable it.

The owners know how. They also know that by leaving it there they make extra money on top of sales. They also know that the person getting berated for having it there is the worker who can’t change it.

Generative AI Is Coming To Your Home Appliances (www.forbes.com)

Across all industries, organizations are rapidly embracing generative AI. Among them, makers of home appliances like fridges and ovens. Generative AI in your oven? Why not? Ater all, AI has been creeping into our homes for years (think smart lightbulbs and Alexa) – but thanks to generative AI, these interactions will become...

I respect their choice to try something new but I personally really hate the random aspect that card decks bring to the gameplay. I enjoyed the methodical tactical planning of X-COM and so I was really disappointed that someone smooshed a card game with that.

gerbler ,

Prey should have been called Neuroshock. Yes it’s basically bioshock in space. Even down to the wrench.

I slept on Prey for ages and eventually worked up the motivation to play past the intro and it was such an experience I immediately did a second playthrough. It’s legitimately one of my favourite games. Heartbreaking that it didn’t perform well.

gerbler ,

The mimics are there throughout the entire game. However about 1-2 hours in you get a piece of equipment that lets you detect shapeshifted mimics before you get close. You start encountering non-mimics pretty early on though. Once you get out into the lobby you get some variety in enemies which is pretty early on.

Not sure about food but for liquor it’s 5x. Triple might be right for food as at least for bars it’s a loss leader.

This is such bullshit. Shoulda they fine uber the 274 million for sidestepping the regulation? Sure, fuck uber. But those grubby cunts in the taxi industry shouldn’t get a fucking cent of that money.

Even if you’re thinking of the half-dozen hard working drivers who aren’t dodgy cunts; you know they’re not seeing any of this money. It’s all going to the medallion owners who do fuck all and make fucking all.

It's kinda wild that zombo.com still exists (www.zombo.com)

zombo.com was launched in 1999. I remember in high school you’d see the new fancy web kiosk’s the school put up just displaying it as a joke. and being locked out of the address bar so you couldn’t change it. The fact that this url has been renewed, maintained, and updated with all the advancements web browsers have made...

That would probably be because they hired martial artists to act instead of teaching actors to do martial arts. For better or worse I respect that decision. Even if Haim Saban is a homophobic Zionist piece of shit.

gerbler ,

Seconded for Haim Saban being a piece of shit. I’d like to add that Austin St John, Walter Jones and Thuy Trang were fired for asking for more money. They were essentially making minimum wage while being the stars of one of the biggest children’s shows of the 90s.

Holy shit 11/10.

Sony misses PS5 sales target as console enters ‘latter stage of its life cycle’ (www.theverge.com)

Sony misses PS5 sales target as console enters ‘latter stage of its life cycle’::Sony has cut its sales forecast by 4 million units for the fiscal year, down from 25 million to 21 million. It comes as the company missed its sales projections by a million.

There’s also the simplicity. I enjoy my PC for sure but for some people the ease of popping in a disc or downloading the title and it running perfectly on the first try is a major selling point. Troubleshooting my Ex’s PC for 2 hours only to realise I didn’t install the standoffs is an experience I can’t get on console.

Vancouver then.

Plex is definitely more user friendly. I would like to try Jellyfin again but I host Plex for my parents back home and I don’t want to troubleshoot Jellyfin internationally when I know they can just install Plex and log in on their devices and I don’t have to deal with it.

Definitely different strokes for different folks but I understand Lemmy is very big on FOSS so it’s no surprise Jellyfin has such a positive following here.

Ultimately I’m glad to have options regardless.

For a split second I thought this was an amber alert or something and I was genuinely impressed at it’s misuse.
