  • Man... Side with Trump, side with CEOs. This is one of those "Can't both teams lose" situations. Ha

  • Yes.

    Then there's us smart ones who see what's going on, but we're outnumbered by idiots.

  • Dragging myself out of my house to deal with this maddening existence called life, despite every fiber of my being telling me to stay home and avoid all you annoying flesh-bags that just do everything you can to irritate me.

    That and I read daily.

  • Yeah, but think of the profits when people have absolutely forgotten the original release and the movie can just be recast 30 years later and passed off as original.

  • OH MY GOD DUDES THERE'S SO MANY BOOBS

  • Does anyone have a script to make my HTML frames show up correctly? My images keep getting cut off.

  • Does it hurt being that stupid?

  • Help an overworked guy with no time to research out - where’s Safari sit in all this

  • No matter what level of effort you'll be using... don't get the Walmart brand. Yeah, they're good for beginners and can handle the occasional weekend project. But even you don't use them enough to wear them out, the other dads/men will make fun of you for having the hardware equivalent of velcro shoes from the dollar store.

    Honest answer: I started with DeWalt. Had issues. Went to Milwaukee. Never regretted it.

  • I caved and subscribed during the 2020 elections. Got tired of seeing two old dipshits yell at each other in ads. Actually enjoyed it enough to keep paying $12 a month.

  • I use Windows, MacOS, and Linux.

    At work, windows cause I have to. I hate it.

    To tinker with CLI and coding, Linux. I SSH into it from work to check my email with Mutt and browse the web with Lynx.

    My computer that I just want to operate and do what it’s supposed to? Mac. Thing runs like a Toyota - non-stop and when you need it.

  • For what I want to do on the Internet, Lynx works just fine. If I need something fancy I'll just us Safari on my phone.

  • I've been here since they shut down third-party apps. It gets better each time they piss off more of the user base and ya'll join the rest of us. Hahaha.

  • Guy who’s “living the dream” here:

    I wish death upon everyone.

  • When I wanna play a game, I wanna play a game. I don't wanna watch a damn movie I can't skip. Or even worse, "follow me!" like it's Dora the Explorer on tutorial mode. I got like 30 minutes into God of War and gave up.

  • They either don't care or ignore it. As long as their side is on top they shrug it off.

  • Eeeeehhhhh Alanis could actually sing though.

  • Just about anything Taylor Swift

    "Make me a rustic picture frame" aka "Oh goodie, I don't have to sand or finish it!"

    Acquaintance wanted a "rustic-looking picture frame" made out of "barn wood" for a jigsaw puzzle. I asked how fancy they wanted it. They said "Not at all." Okay then - here ya go.
