Only if it’s 25 years ago. Today? Never.
Refugee from another, less-friendly instance. Please forgive the youth of my account— I’ve actually been around here for a while. Still, glad to be here!
Only if it’s 25 years ago. Today? Never.
I remember that, for a while, you’d see “No Google Glass” at some clubs and bars. People really hated it.
In the politics of the United States, an October surprise is a news event that may influence the outcome of an upcoming November election (particularly one for the presidency), whether deliberately planned or spontaneously occurring. Because the date for national elections (as well as many state and local elections) is in early November, events that take place in October have greater potential to influence the decisions of prospective voters and allow less time to take remedial action; thus, relatively last-minute news stories could either change the course of an election or reinforce the inevitable.[1] The term “October surprise” was coined by William Casey when he served as campaign manager of Ronald Reagan’s 1980 presidential campaign.[2] However, there were October election-upending events that predated the coining of the term.[1][2]
Thanks, Biden! And the American taxpayer!
“They” got over it, as most people do, and moved on. Remnants still remain, but they were unified due to a critical mass of dissent.
Don’t expect to see anything like it again until another critical inflection point. Just know that, if you do, shit’s prolly in a bad place…so…
Anything to keep the workers subjugated… even tanking a bedrock American corporation…
What a stupid hill to die on.
Rest in piss, assholes
Oh, look, a news headline from five years ago
These are different because kids take these computers home, and it’s some random working for a 3rd party monitoring what’s going on.
Creepy.
It did get annoying having to run back and forth through all of the worlds, but some were very cool, like the one with the fighting arenas. And the tomb with all the levels. And the story was awesome.
The sequel was pretty good too. They’re both on GOG, btw, And have aged pretty well. The graphics aren’t so good, but the story and gameplay are still pretty great. I still replay them (and the Myst games) from time to time.
That’s kinda sad.
lol, if you say so. I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels a little let down with myself ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Funny, I speculated to a friend about a year ago that intel’s general fuckery might cause them problems not to far down the road , and here they are. Hmm, if only I had money to back that up… I’d probably have more money or whatever.
Or maybe not so much since I think just about everyone saw this coming. My friend certainly did.
Well, maybe I’m just too GenX, but, to me, that’s a distinction without a difference. WhatsApp is texting with extra steps, and Twitter is for Nazis. I’ve never used the former and gave up the latter along with FB and insta early on during covid. Reddit was my last social whatever, and I jumped that ship last June for this last shout.
I’ve never had tiktaky or snapsnore. Most of my time on my phone is spent either here or listening to news podcasts— which is pretty much what I did as a teenager: listening to NPR as my morning routine then a news/music mix throughout the day.
Hmmm…. How unusual and a little confusing to be both impressed and disappointed in oneself… well that’s why some of our best paid scientists are furiously genetically engineering new strains of cannabis! So I don’t have to deal with this shit!
At best that’s just unclear. Blocking VPNs isn’t impossible, just impractical. And it’s not like Brazil just became China. At worst, the just made accessing X impracticality expensive for its users— which, in Brazil, is a lot of people. In typical Brazilian fashion, they’re hitting Elon in the wallet.
When you’re too corrupt, even for Brazil, that really does say something.
I also had a good friend who was a paramedic until recently, and those are some gossipy bitches, lol. That guy would never shut up about work
Foldable phones look and work like shit. Not a shock that Apple wants nothing to do with a silly fad— not until it’s worth it for them.
