feverish and oversexed posted:everyones exhausted It’s this. People only have so much time/bandwidth, so it’s gotten to the point where it’s like haslows hierarchy of needs; the poo poo beyond mere subsistence gets pushed to the side because we’re barely keeping our heads above water as it is. Meanwhile, capitalists have all the time/money in the world to hire a platoon of people with fancy degrees to actively make the world a worse place (who themselves feel beholden to their paycheck for one reason or another). For example, it’s honestly made me very disenchanted with the whole legal profession (which is itself something that has gotten way shittier over the last decade or so)

SweetMercifulCrap! posted:Finally: are some TV streaming devices that have more ads inserted than others? My friend has a Roku and I swear the YouTube app on it has more commercials than the YouTube app on other devices. It's so frequent that it's almost unwatchable and I don't understand why ads just can't be at the beginning of a video only. I think that the number of ads that play are partially determined by the uploader, so it may depend on the specific content you are watching on youtube, as well

You Are A Elf posted:Yard sales (garage sales, tag sales, or whatever you prefer) seem to have all but disappeared for good in my area. I think the Covid lockdown had a huge part in their demise, and now people probably don’t want to set up shop outside their home where strangers can walk about freely on their property and touch stuff. I also think scumbag resellers had a part in it like they’ve ruined thrift stores by buying up all the decent stuff to make a profit while leaving behind the literal junk no one wants, and what homeowner wants to go through disposing of unsellable garbage? Yard sales and rummage sales have basically been on a decline since Craigslist and Facebook marketplace took off. Any of the really good stuff gets sold off piecemeal pre-sale, or it gives people unrealistic expectations about what their stuff is worth so they want to try and sell you a lovely pot planter for $10

Dog training is about training you, as the owner, to be consistent; you have to do the correct steps every time, not just some times. Also, if your dog isn’t tired, it’s going to find ways to annoy you. Same as that previous poster; when people ask me why my dog is so well behaved, I just say that I take them for several 30 minute walks a day (at least once in the morning and once in the early evening) and that I try to focus more on what I want the dog to be doing in a given scenario and less on what I don’t want it to be doing (I.e., redirection). These people then just look at me like I’ve got a screw loose and then give me “reasons” why they can’t be expected to do anything other than just put their dog in their tiny backyard alone for several hours while they work/play on the computer.

MrQwerty posted:I worked on a board for a couple years that had a SMD USB-C port, and the physical design of the USB-C SMD part is the weakest link in the hardware of the standard. It's so tiny, so complex, very hard to work on/fix, and leaves a lot of room to break pins or traces with minor flex. I had to replace my new Lenovo laptop recently because the usb-c charging port was damaged somehow (power surge, flexing,etc); unfortunately, the damaged port was on the motherboard rather than a sister/daughter board and I have no technical proficiency, so to repair/replace the motherboard would have cost (labor/parts) about the same as simply buying an all new computer. Honestly, I only really use my comp as a word processor/email machine and I do harbor serious concerns regarding tech pollution, so I try not to replace my laptop/electronics more often than absolutely necessary (kept my predecessor laptop for approximately a decade), so that really chapped me

Honestly, if you’re going to talk loud into your cellphone anyways, I say let me hear the other side of the conversation so I can at least have some context. I don’t want no “if it wasn’t for my horse, I wouldn’t have spent that semester in college” poo poo rattling around in my head from the freezer aisle

Whenever I encounter one of these free discount programs (Safeway, raley’s, vons, etc. I just wait until they’ve rung everything up and then say “hey, can I sign up for an account, but just fill out the info later but get the discount now?” They either swipe their own card or just give me the card without making me sign up, etc. just to keep the line moving

Outrail posted:Yeah, I think that's what I was trying to get at. You're not the only one. It's hard to articulate without sounding like a luddite or regressive boomer but it's there. Kind of like 'its sucking the magic and wonder out of everything' at a really low boring level. Kurt Vonnegut wrote about these and similar concepts in his first published novel, Player Piano. I’d highly recommend

gg everybody but can we wrap up”how I learned typing” chat plz I feel like riding a bicycle in urban settings is something that has gotten significantly worse over the last few years. Drivers seem way more aggressive/vindictive since the pandemic, if they’re even looking at the road instead of their phone. And nobody checks their corners anymore cause Google maps said to turn right so why even look. And god forbid you tell someone that you commute by bike; they can’t wait to tell you about that one time somebody on a bike didn’t even stop at the stop sign (so why should they have to either  ) or about how somebody they knew one time got hit/killed while riding a bike, etc. car culture loving suuuuuuucks

Just fyi that’s exactly how it works in the US with regard to polling place registration. It’s just the method of poll registration is voluntary (generally you sign up for your local polling station when you change your mailing address with the postal office or renew your drivers license/ID) E.
