I appreciate your patience, this is a tricky maneuver
So Doritos suck now I guess. I almost never buy them so today was the first time in over a year, and nah. Chips are off, seasoning is weak, these are either a bad batch or they are making them cheaper and charging more.

Yeah I got a bag that had like half the usual seasoning, which makes them just tortilla chips.

The price was raised to reflect this of course.

In Costa Rica they still pray and give sacrifices to the old Doritos gods, In the US the Shrines to the Doritos gods lay in ruin, uninvited, forgotten.

The Doritos gods show their fury at this offense back cursing all Doritos consumed in the US to be a bit less flavorful, to drive all those who consume them their into depression and disrepair and the land into darkness!

Hope this helps.

Xxtra hot Doritos are where it’s at. They’re not spicy but they taste good. Xxxxtra hot they also aren’t spicy but they taste worse. I can’t find the xx anymore which is definitely shittier

I like the option where you can input your grocery loyalty card, and if you don't have one it has a little option for and I quote, no loyalty. I definitely enjoy pushing that button and feeling like I'm littlefinger.

Fuck it.
Google maps has been discussed, but I've got a new grievance! All last year, maps would direct me to the back entrance of the school, despite me going to the front to pick up and drop off every single day. The AI just couldn't figure It out. I thought the maps experience was supposed to be personalized?

First day of the school year, it starts directing me to the FRONT door. Problem is they've switched drop off and pick up to the BACK. So Google maps still directs me to the WRONG loving DOOR!

general grievance in the vein of the USB-C part:

tolerances in SMD parts went wild after we had to start sourcing from anywhere we could find during COVID, especially after that factory in Japan that made our opamps burned down. Boards were failing tests while being perfectly in range because parts were constantly 0.0001v out of tolerance, poo poo like that. Then replace a resistor from the same manufacturer, same reel, no fail. I feel like we're walking right back into a capacitor plague situation. None of your post-COVID electronics are trustworthy.

I just sideloaded Play store on my Prime Day Fire HD 8 that I rediscovered (excellent find, it's way bigger than that piece of poo poo fire stick remote that gets lost all the time, at 0.0000000000000005x the input speed!) and noticed that.

Yeah that's what it sounds like, it directed you around back when everyone had to go to the front and now it's directing you out front when everyone has to go to the back. It doesn't know about the arbitrary rule changes, it's just trying to make your day a little easier.

People will make it sound like it's some super hard forbidden art or some poo poo, but with modest computer literacy and a willingness to click on the second result in a google search will go a long, long ways to this end. It's not that hard unless you are willing to trade away literally everything at the door for 'convenience'.

First day of the school year, I give up and start directing them to the FRONT door. Problem is they've decided to go to the other door. So the human still goes to the WRONG loving DOOR!
