The fact that two Rikers existed is all the proof I need to be full Luddite. Save your death machines for the next person, thanks!

I’m shocked they’re moving to ads when I’ve been paying them $4/month for Discord Nitro for several years now. Surely, that revenue is enough for their upkeep???

Finally. Should’ve done it 18-months ago.

As someone who made about $400 on AMC, I wholly support the apes in their endeavor to pump and dump Reddit’s stock into oblivion.

I’m kinda bummed it was an actor. It would have been miles more entertaining if it was just an AI model.

You know what really irks me? Lately people are using the terms “website” and “app” synonymously and there’s just no reason for it.

I was on the phone with customer service for my grandmother a few weeks ago, and the agent on the phone kept saying that my grandmother needed to go “on the app” to set her router name. I went three rounds with the agent explaining that my 94-year-old grandmother didn’t really have a phone capable getting to the app before I realized that the agent meant website, but was still saying “app”.

The improper usage of the words is far more an issue than the discussion about whether JavaScript is creating an application experience that is no longer a “website”.

I get that my generation is aging out of the “target audience” for tons of things, but I’m willing to stand my ground on this one til the day I die. An app and a website are two different things. 😡

Incorrect. All three were crap because no one sat down to create an overall three part story at the start.

Director A went in Direction 1, but Director B was allowed to do whatever the hell he wanted and went in Direction π with no intention to bring us back to even an integer direction. Director A then led us into imaginary numbers which led to a steaming pile of a trilogy.

If you have a four-year scholarship, for God’s sake, make sure you graduate in four years!

He noted piracy was an issue of service and ease of availability, not price. Case in point, it’s far easier for me to wait for a Steam sale and have a legal game than it is for me to go through all the effort of waiting for a decent crack, torrenting the game, and then waiting for the crack to the patch because of something that doesn’t run well.

I used to pirate games to “sample” them, and now it’s simply easier to just buy through Steam. If I hate it…oh, well. It only cost $10 through a Steam, GOG, or Humble Bundle sale.

Video streaming used to be somewhat like this when everything was through Netflix. One place to get everything you wanted was far easier than trying to acquire things through piracy.

Now, however, you’ve got to have 6 different streaming services to get what used to require only one, and with the price of hard drives going down every year, it’s actually easier to torrent what I want and just have things in my personal collection that’s never going to just get removed suddenly because NBC Universal decides that they want a piece of the pie as well.

But, if he spits out the fish like Mr. Burns, we’ll have a laugh that will last for decades.

Ah, yes. A “glitch”. And, how fascinating that it affects links from the early days when Twitter was really gaining traction and being used to rouse populaces.

The thing is, Musk, whether he was paid to do this or not, is acting purposefully. This is all a grand scheme to fully dismantle what was once our global town square. Twitter was once a place where “the people” could hold politicians, corporations, and the generally wealthy accountable for their actions publicly. In the past year, the platform has become unsteady, blue checks are untrustworthy, and even the name has changed to something that causes one to pause.

I dislike the man as much as the next normal person, but all of this nonsense has been planned from the start. He’s not a complete idiot. These actions have been calculated steps to take away the voice of the people and eliminate a single source of truth as things get worse and worse.

I mean, we joke, but this is pretty what he’s proposing.

This dude is pushing Putin-level shades of crazy.
