How else are they going to milk their talentless techbro cash cows? Can't have China popping that imaginary wealth bubble now can we. /s

I'd like to think Australia has a nice middle ground design to their sockets/plugs without the foot destroying bulk. Still get the shutter variants for bathrooms too.

Jist wait until you have to start fucking around with multiple incompatible versions of python for different targets.

A road near me added obnoxious speed bumps in an industrial zone that was already reduced to 50km/h solely for the gambling seniors to get to the RSL (Returned Services League, a glorified casino for seniors/veterans), again built in an INDUSTRIAL ZONE with frequent semi-trucks.

It exists to abuse and profit off search engine optimisation. More than half of most image search results are polluted with their results which forces you sign up to do anything useful with them.

I wish I was kidding when I say there exist asshole recognition tech already. They'll just attach that to your advertiser ID so their worldwide network of 'smart toilets' can deliver targeted ads to every stall and urinal you visit.

That may be so, but then you things like hayfever where the immune system overreacts to the dumbest shit every year for days on end. I could totally see some innocent extraterrestrial microbe sending the immune system into a self destructive meltdown, or straight up anaphylaxis.

This is similar to how I feel about the situation as a whole. Seeing so many 'fuck it' votes from people who are tired of the fighting and not being heard from either side. It's infuriating but not surprising.

Now I see across several communities is the blame game attacking groups without considering the why in all this.

For devs who routinely boast about their (ineffective) anti-cheat, this is truly some amateur hour code. No wonder cheaters run rampant in their games.

As someone who purchased a waterproof Kobo Clara Colour for less than this and is enjoying 3rd party add-ons like KOReader, why the hell would I pay more for Amazon DRM?

As much as I agree the 30% cut can be a bit steep, I do appreciate that part of it is going into ongoing R&D like Steam Deck and Proton benefiting the whole gaming industry. I'd like to think of it like Valve are investing into PC innovation similarly to the way Playstation, Xbox and Nintendo do for their new consoles.

Maybe not suicide, but what if there was tragic (totally not suspicious) Boeing plane crash with many key union members on board. Then victim blame them for not having enough staff left to enforce safety or assist with crash investigations. Conspiracy!
