They are releasing more than just security updates, too. I’ve got two machines in the program and, while small, I have seen UI changes a couple times since ESU started. They aren’t useful or anything, but they definitely aren’t “security” updates.

Me every year at super bowl time: ❔

This drove me mad growing up.

Encyclopedia (classroom copy, dated 1983): rarely updated or vetted by outside sources, perfect, basically the second word of god

Online encyclopedia: heresy and lies, you can’t trust it, do your own research

Me: “this seems fucking moronic”

I got around this rule in school by just using the sources that Wikipedia pages used, and got full marks for it, even though I did the exact thing that they said can’t be trusted. But the fact that if you publish an encyclopedia, it’s gospel, but if you print it out, it’s trash, just enrages me.

It doesn’t have to be the government. It can be a suspicious spouse, a nosy family member, a judgemental neighbor, an opportunistic burglar, even a murderer. You’re thinking in way too narrow of a scope.

But to really drive the point home, since “no one” does those things, please leave your front door unlocked on Monday for me. Thanks!

Those engineers demanded a 50% pay increase, right? Right?

I know if I got told to fuck off and then they come around begging for my help, you know I’m going to make sure they remember their mistake.

‘but encryption is a solution for a made-up problem’

Safety and privacy has always been a factor in people’s lives. Being empowered to do something meaningful about it in modern times is a huge improvement in people’s lives.

AI Cartel: we will buy all your stock

MC: yaaaaaaaay

The fact that ‘meeting that should have been an email’ and ‘5am’ would make me way more pissed at the job than the shitty software. Unless I’m on the clock or getting paid overtime, that meeting can suck my balls. 110%, do not pass go, do not collect $200. Not if the building is on fire, not that the CEO perished in a freak accident, nothing. That is absolute horseshit and they can brief me when I am on the clock next. Or, you know, they can email me. Like they should have initially.

…such as…? Whenever I’m shopping for a game, I check GOG (and 3rd party sites for steam keys via ITAD) before I buy from steam. If it’s available on gog and drm-free, that’s where my money goes.

The only issue I see with gog is that devs don’t give a shit. One and done, one pump chump. Why give customers choice, when you can be jerking it with their money already instead?

You: restroom?

Waiter: directs you to a room with a plush couch and relaxing ambiance

(the word restroom has always bugged me, like nobody goes there just to rest. It’s an awful term. No, no. clears throat Direct me to thy shitter, my lord. The need is urgent, there is absolutely no time for ‘rest’ at the present moment.)
