Yup. I love traffic. As an owner of a car I seek out traffic jams daily!

I always think to myself “what if I could be in a bus, and be subject to a restrictive schedule other than my own?” Naturally, I like to seat myself next to the gentleman eating the cat food.

Why can’t cars be the solution? What if we developed cheap, electictric vehicles? You know, like electric bikes, or scooters. This is all theoretical, but some day these could be seen all over!

Maybe with solar power, and other renewables, we can forge a future with cheap tech at the forefront!

No? Okay. I’ll see myself out. Don’t worry, dreamers like me can just find the nearest ditch to die in, rather than you all be wrong about “cars”.

That’s not how this works, but thank you for the silver lining here. People try to be good, even if Elon and Tesla are bad.

I’ve never experienced this… Lol.

I don’t own a cat, though.

This is especially true right now, when the enormous gulf between the wealthy and poor is the worst we’ve seen in living memory.

People are struggling to pay their rent, and yet Apple is over here selling this bullshit to people.

I was just at the store today, and overheard some kids asking when cereal got so expensive.

It illustrated just how rapidly they increased the prices.

And rice is delicious! I like sticky sushi rice myself. Throw some chicken on there and you’ve got a meal!

Nick Offerman is better than any any “Chad”. He’s an Offerman. The Chad’s wish they could be as dope as him.

I see DND is older than most people think!

Have you looked? I mean, that question is rhetorical… No, you haven’t.

You should check out the competition. Samsung makes some great devices, razer makes some great devices. Even Google makes solid competition, though I prefer others over them.

They notoriously sell older components and technologies in their brand new computers.

I have one I got for free that was made in 2020. It’s a MacBook Air. It has 8gb of RAM… I don’t even know how they found RAM chips that small in 2020. It freezes every day when all I’m doing is running a web browser. This computer was $1,000 at the time it launched.

Apple also holds over 95,500 patents. I will never get why some people defend this crazy company. They make underperforming computers and sell them for wayyy over their value.

I mean, spellcheck does that more often than not.

My galaxy watch I bought many years ago has this same feature, is cheaper, and looks amazing. I got the “classic” model with the turning frame. It’s an outstanding watch even to this day. No lag, great battery, and very bright even in sunlight.

I’ll settle for sawing off Los Angeles and letting it float off into the distance.

haha WHOA, that SUCKS.

I’ve never had that, though… not on my Windows machines (plural). Did you buy your machine from a manufacturer like HP? It just feels like something HP would do… never buy HP anything, everyone (even if this specific event isn’t their fault).

Edit: This isn’t your image… it’s from Reddit and it’s from SIX years ago.

That sounds horrible… I’ve never seen these, though. I don’t use anything special so far as I know. I’m on Windows 10 on one computer I run all day, and Windows 11 for the one I use all evening.

Assuming you’re not making this up, could Microsoft be rolling these out only to specific individuals for a trial run, or something? I don’t even have Windows Pro…

Or… actually… I built my computers from the ground up. Did you buy yours from HP, Dell, or another manufacturer? Could THEY be putting ads into their updates somehow?

I’ve never seen these before… can you share a screenshot? That sounds fucking awful!

I don’t remember it being slow, but I think that’s just because the slow pace was part of the intention behind the show. Offices are slow, horrible places to work when we’re talking about corporate environments. So it added to the horror that they made many in-office experiences drag out, and it hit really hard as a result.

So yeah, I agree, but also… I loved/hated it (mostly loved it).
