Same feelings here, I used to average around 1k hours per year in my “active” years.

All of the issues with CS2 kinda put the end to that, played the beta, then stopped for a year, and now I play few games every few days

Unless they are in a car, take a walk along one of the less used roads and you will find empty food containers and piss bottles galore

Or just installed few months of missing updates, looking at you my broken Manjaro dual-boot

True, it’s a lot of paperwork and not the most efficient, but I can trust that it will work

Even in tech, there are things that probably haven’t changed in the past 25 years

Tbf, for me, that’s more of a forum territory. I wasn’t even using the subreddit for Aprilia motorcycles, but been on Apriliaforum for years

AFAIK This is only technically true, IIRC, back then, mods could add anyone they wanted as a moderator for their subreddit without the user in question having any say in it.

So the jailbait mods thought that it would be funny to add spez to the mod list as a joke

I don’t remember actually doing tips as a percentage back when I lived in Latvia, it was usually that you took the bills and left any coins, maybe added some on top if there weren’t many.

So probably 10% at most but still basically what I made per hour as a warehouse worker

I mean, a lot of it is just people who started using chatgpt to do some simple and boring task (writing an email, CV, or summarizing an article) and started thinking that it’s the best thing since sliced bread.

I would know that since I’m a university student. I know the limitations of current AI stuff so I can cautiously use it for certain tasks and don’t trust the output to be correct. Meanwhile, my friend thought that he was making chatgpt better at answering his multiple choice economics quiz by telling it which of the answers it gave was wrong…

I mean if Turkey can just decide to change it’s name and everyone has to respect it (not me Turkey it is), I don’t see why this is different

I think that a lot of people are missing this, my first Windows was Windows XP, so I’m pretty much used to doing everything through a GUI

I ignored Windows 8, and even 10 for a while, but that was because Windows 7 was still working and supported and still kinda is my favorite version of Windows.

Then at some point I just switched to 10 and been using it ever since while installing the occasional distro to see if I can move off of Windows (Answer is still no) or as an emergency desktop bootable USB

Funnily enough that’s where I find most of the litter in Japan, like, if you go to any non-main road that goes through a bit of forest, you will see signs threatening fines for littering, with a bunch of trash tossed in that exact area.

I have seen cans, bottles, ACs, TVs, baby car seats, bags, and general household trash. Also found a golf club once that I actually brought home because I thought that it was neat. And this is only along a single stretch of road that is only like 1km long.

So Japan isn’t some miracle society that doesn’t litter, it’s just that they do it someplace that is somewhat out of sight.

Yay for Oriental voids, this lady has been in the family for a decade, also, everytime I hear someone say that all cats are assholes, I know that they never had an Oriental

It really is amazing how I can mess up Linux installs for the weirdest of reasons.

Install arch from scratch on a laptop? Now it either doesn’t go to sleep when you close the laptop or a kernel panick.

Manjaro? Edited the config for the touchpad (of course it’s a random config file that you have to change line by line and read 3 wiki pages for, because Linux) because it doesn’t feel like windows and ran updates from the built in manager within the os. Now it doesn’t boot at all and causes the boot logo to ghost while using windows 10 installed on another partition.

Pop_os? Worked mostly fine, used it for months, broke it only once when using the built in package manager somehow fixed it, but stopped using that laptop and now I can’t boot into it at all.

Not to mention all of the software that partially doesn’t work or work at all. Like, my personal choice for image editing is paint.net, it’s not a useless meme like MS Paint, but also isn’t the equivalent of using a bucket wheel excavator for digging a hole in your backyard like Gimp. It also doesn’t work on Linux at all

I feel the same about my apartment door (my apartment was built in the 1970s), it has a mailbox attached to the inside of it and there is a slot in the door to put mail in it from the outside, it gets rarely used since most of the mail is delivered to the newer mailboxes installed by the stairs on the first floor, but If I’m not home, the delivery driver usually drops the slip in there.

However, below the mailbox is another, smaller, door that is intended specifically for newspapers. I tried to open it out of curiosity, but the latch was quite stiff and was painted over at some point, so probably the previous tenant also didn’t use it. That means that small door has probably been closed for at least a decade, if not more, and probably will remain closed forever.

Sudoku is my go-to for boring time on the airplane

Also, I’d say that odds also favour places that nobody really gives a shit about, like sure, US, UK, China, Russia, large parts of Europe, and North Korea are probably guaranteed to be nuclear craters, but I doubt that any of the missiles are pointed at Africa or most of South America

Because as long as the Russian state exists and can point to their “history” as an empire and use it as an excuse to take over their neighboring countries (like Latvia, the place where I’m from), I won’t be satisfied.

Unfortunately nobody is bombing Moscow yet, so anything that isolates and makes the population more angry and can hopefully topple the government is a good thing in my book

I don’t remember any of the versions of this story involving money.

Nobody ever mentioned where the materials came from, it was just two dumbasses who decided to build their houses out of inferior materials
