I was desperate for a job years ago and took a car sales job. Firstly, I felt slimy as fuck doing it and didn't sell many cars because of it.

That said, the guy that owned the auto group owned 4 dealerships out of the 6 in town that weren't used only car lots. Hyundai/Genesis, Honda, Nissan and Toyota/Scion. They constantly ran "sales" that only saturated the market since the town was like 200 miles from another city. Then he goes and buys the Ford/Lincoln dealership, leaving only the GM (Chevy, GMC, Buick and Cadillac) and Dodge/Chrysler ones not owned by him.

Dude was stupid rich, had literally the largest house in the city and bought a brand new C8 Corvette (when it was first released), burned through 4 sets of tires, got 3 speeding tickets then totalled it all within 2 weeks. To him it was a tax write-off. Not to mention all the other toys this guy bought and abused.

I met him once, he was a complete dick to even his store managers. Fuck that guy.

I dumped Spooterfy over a year ago now, moved all my liked song library to Tidal. I moved to AntennaPod for podcasts too. I never really make playlists, Tidals mixes are usually pretty good. The daily discovery is leagues above Spotify's weekly shit that would constantly play songs from artists I had blocked. No Spotify, I do not want to be ear raped by 100 Gecs I told you this!

They pay artists better and it's been a much better experience. My only issue was I couldn't easily like songs from the notification bar, but that was added a while ago in an update. It has started playing the same songs frequently lately, but thats not the worst I guess.

Obviously if you care about supporting your artists, buy thier CDs, vinyls (if you're into that) or buy them digitally on Bandcamp, streaming doesn't pay as much as direct support.

This reads as an ad but I'm genuinely just a satisfied user. Fuck Spotify.

As someone else here mentioned, Pandora is still a viable option too, hell my mom uses Pandora.

If you want to prevent your TV from getting stolen just get a Trinitron, it's heavy as fuck and old enough where no thief would take thier time to steal it. Mine's 109lbs

I did exactly the same thing, I have a Galaxy Gear 4 but I stopped using it about 2 months after getting it. I got tired of it constantly vibrating over everything even after turning off all notifications on the watch. I got tired of going to look at the time only to see the "you've walked 10,000 steps congratulations!" screen. I work outside and always have my hands full, I can't just swipe it away, I need to see the time.

I wanted it for seeing the time and knowing who's calling me without having to dig my phone out of my pocket. Got a G-Shock that shows me time, date and day of the week and I haven't worn the Galaxy watch since. Added benefit is not having to charge the damn thing every night too.

My girlfriend has an iPhone, and the storage is full. We've been trying to get all her pictures transferred off to delete some of the older ones off the phone and holy fuck is it a pain in the ass. Move them to her MacBook? Pain in the ass because of how they setup their Photos app. Move to a flashdrive via a dongle? Pain in the ass because it downloads from who knows where and fills the storage back up before I can start the transfer. Connect to my Windows PC? Lmao yeah right.

So far I've just gotten Immich to backup all her pics to my server but due to the amount on her phone it takes forever then bugs out and stops transferring.

iOS can eat my entire ass

I've had liquor shipped before(in the US), usually you just have to show ID that you're 21 and have to sign for it at delivery.

Surprisingly I'm in the US and it's off by default, at least for now. They'll toggle it on then claim it was an accident after they make a couple billion dollars.

 

Just saw the notification for this in my Youtube Studio. For now it seems as if this setting is turned off by default, but for anyone like myself who uploads videos to Youtube, I recommend checking that they don't decide to toggle this on for you in the future.

Don't forget the AI generated images/footage that doesn't add anything to the narrative in a documentary

Connecticunt is also used by Massholes, which is both valid and why they're on thin ice when being considered part of New England lol

Massachusettsan? Nope, it's Masshole, c'mon my guy we all know this
