I think it’s honestly smartphones and screens in general. Our eyes weren’t meant to be looking at tiny glowing screens all day

When they announced that they were adding ad breaks I decided it was something I didn’t need to watch live. Then I saw the highlights and decided there’s no reason to go back and rewatch it.
Or when I was 5 years old, and some dick older kid traded me 2 nickels for a quarter. Learned a hard lesson that day.
I do not give 2 shits about people speaking foreign languages out in the ether for the most part. Having said that, there are 2 instances I can think of that grind my gears.
You order an Uber, and the guy who’s driving is on the phone with someone, and is speaking another language with them the whole time. This is more just for the fact that this is shitty customer service for someone who works on tips to an extent. For whatever reason, this seems to only be an issue with foreign speaking people. My guess is maybe they’re talking to family back home? I certainly don’t tip those people who are doing it, but I don’t care enough to call them out on it either.
As a poker player, they have rules about speaking English only at the table. This prevents collusion. I will absolutely call people out for English only at the table especially when there is a live hand going on.
Yeah, but the op was talking about worrying about people on the plane stealing from his bag in the overhead bin, not the TSA stealing from it. But yeah, TSA is grimy AF, I always make sure to count my money before and after I put my wallet through the security line. I also wouldn’t trust valuables in a checked bag as well.
Russia like y’all got any more of them lords of war?
My boy Arthur caught a bad case. Man was gonna farm mangoes in Tahiti. Gone too soon!
It doesn’t change the fact that it’s a dumb idea. I get that this is the AAPL fanboi zone but ffs this thing dropped to 0 fanfare. It’s a dud.
If Paris wants to make an impact, They can ban Bitcoin and AI which is burning an incredible amount of energy. Otherwise let them have their air conditioners. This is stupid.
You could do the virtual theater thing with your phone and Google Daydream like 8 years ago. It sucked then, and it’s no different now. Gimmicky tech is all it is. Unless they drop a true game changing VR game or something, it’s gonna join the club with meta quest and the rest of VR / AR devices. People will use it a handful of times thinking eh that’s kinda cool, then put it in a drawer to let it collect dust. I’ll happily eat my words if im wrong in 5 years, but I sincerely doubt these will take off. Apple is not going to drop price. Look at iPhone, they only ever went up in price.
No, it’s the movie where Jerry Seinfeld is a bee and tries to bang Patrick Warburton’s human wife.
A lot of developers bought Google glass too. It’s a stupid product with no use case.
I’m sure all 3 people that bought one of these POS’s are elated to know that it will work better with Spotify playing in the background.
Lol, I always try to spend as little time as the airport as possible. I’ve only missed 1 flight ever, and they just put me on the next one for free. It was like 30 minutes later.
One of my close friends from college went deep down the fat acceptance rabbit hole shortly after college. I had to unfollow her on social media. She went from being a slightly overweight girl to a morbidly obese woman. She had a podcast she’d promote saying things like it’s ok to eat cake for breakfast if you want it; weight is just a number and all kinds of asinine things.
My weight has fluctuated over the years, but any time I’m putting on weight, I know it’s unhealthy and I need to start going to the gym and eating better. Seeing her posts would drive me up the wall. She had one where she said something about how the gym is toxic, and you’re just fine the way you are, and you can be healthy without exercising. She also was selling some plus size clothing pyramid scheme and claimed to be a model for the company. I don’t think it was a defense mechanism, just another ridiculously bad side effect of echo chambers on social media.
Or ya know, pay people more
They won’t do just fine if everywhere starts doing this, and homes can actually go to residents, and not shit bag Airbnb landlords. Anything that keeps the investor class out of real estate is a good thing.
Also not the shitty suburb of San Jose / Oakland Fremont either apparently.
Lol, I might need to add this to my rotation of fuck this crowd music to play on the touch tunes at a bar. I’ve cleared a few bars out playing the hulk Hogan theme song, the 30 minute pink Floyd song Echoes, and previously the uncensored 2 live crew song doo wah Diddy.
They took the latter off the whole ass app probably because of me. The song opens with “I met this bitch standing on the block, she’ll suck on my dick and I’ll buy her a rock.” All to the tube of doo wah Diddy. Boomers get all excited about it and then get all salty. They don’t make em like they used to.
It’s a dirty job, but someone’s gotta do it.
