I worked Office 365 support for a year and I have no loving clue how OneDrive works, or SharePoint, or Outlook. I was lied to and thought i'd get to do more advanced/career stuff like Azure and Exchange but i would have to do 101 level stuff too and even simple poo poo is obnoxious and dizzying. And their four-letter (Dice? Meal? Bank? I can't even remember, my brain deleted it as a defense mechanism) backend billing/licensing app is another MC Escher staircase of multidimensional pain. I hate ms soooo fuking much. One Microsoft Way. FUC YOU

My theory is the rise of content creation and social media stars has led to more dog owners. Because it's such a quick and efficient way to make a scroller pause and watch your content, generate engagement. What quicker way to a person's heartstrings? Same simple reason there's so many babies/cats/dogs in TV commercials. Remember like a year ago when some YouTube woman bought a new puppy and accidentally posted herself kicking and slapping it because it wasn't cute enough and didn't rocket her to stardom? Dog ownership is on the rise bc it's a career move DrBouvenstein posted:Oh yeah. The latest one I've seen, that's hit my inbox (PRIMARY folder, no less, not even shunted to the updates or promotional folders/labels) are scams claiming to be from Lowes' Home Depot, or Harbor Freight wanting me to do a survey to win some product. I distinctly remember the fake Lowes' ones claimed I'd get a Yeti cooler backpack.

AFAIK OneNote had a feature where you could paste in an image of text, and it would extract the text which you could then edit as you please (you had to edit anyway because the feature was never 100%). I'll award Microsoft 1 point for actually doing something new and useful.. Since I'm feeling generous, I also want to congratulate Prime Video for an actual kick rear end feature: the option to stop all autoplay. gently caress I hate autoplay so much, I pretty much always watch the credits and let my mind reflect on what I just watched. But streaming shits all over a quiet contemplative moment as you sober up from a gritty war epic that ended 15 seconds ago and suddenly the trailer to Surfboard Bong is blasting out your speakers. So loving obnoxious. HBO had a kick rear end feature too: Leaving This Month which really helped me decide what to watch, for obvious reasons. Of course it's gone now.

I feel like I fell for a con. I bought two chocolate bars recently and they were both terrible. Almond Joy and Hershey Milk Chocolate. The latter I don't even like much but it pairs well with plain unsalted almonds, which I had. Both tasted chalky and synthetic. The dark Lindt and Ghirardhelli I bought at the supermarket a few weeks ago were fine though.

I went to Dunkin Donuts and I've always thought their hot coffee and hot food were terrible but they've actually gotten worse. At least if you used to order hazelnut or french vanilla, you got something resembling coffee. Now they squirt synthetic flavoring in, and it's just terrible And another thing, the bagels are smaller than they used to be.

You're not wrong. To me it seems like the industry is designed around impulsive eBook purchases, two quick taps on the screen and you've got a sale. So, wacky titles and covers. Sometimes I wonder if the "hacks" are even real. I bet there are writers cranking these out that publishers then filter to bigger names, careers. It's like a factory manufacturing the next batch over and over. Just turning the crank and out plops more. More literary stuff is boring too.

Re: lovely undershirts I will say that Target's newer line of Goodfellow undershirts are very good. Black or white, v neck or crew. The t shirts feel higher quality, thicker. They fit great and actually became my regular everyday t-shirts because they're comfy, not cheap looking, and I somehow look good in them. I bought a few extra packs and stored them away. They're probably the best "undershirt" t shirts I ever owned. Big fan of these

I'm sure there's some useful customers but how the heck did the apps get so big? Food delivery is also bad because of all the single use items. Every day 100 box trucks drive into Manhattan filled with single use items, and 100 garbage trucks filled with used single use items drive out.
