"babe look at this cool meme!" I can't see shit

"do I look good in glasses?" I can't see shit

My sister got married to wonderful man who actually had wonderful parents and it's genuinely confusing to her sometimes.

His parents are genuinely useful, and kind, and very welcoming. Not the case for my wife or our parents. It's like an entire support system that was never present in her life before.

... I mean... It is though. Their whole channel is about technology, potential scams, and new inventions that could be helpful or hopeless.

It's like, if Steve Irwin discovered a unicorn that eats toes, yeah I expect Steve Irwin to tell us. This is straight up his alley, he's gonna teach us about animals, and if it's a particularly terrifying one that I shouldn't be near, all the more reason. This is quite literally how the man makes his money and the fact that he doesn't wanna talk about it is really weird.

Did he instead discover a random cannibal living under a bridge that eats toes? Yeah I can see why he doesn't make that an episode. It's not really on topic, it's for a very different crowd.

There actually is a case that the scam affected the users. One of the selling points of Honey's partnership programs with sellers (not content creators, but actual store fronts) was that you could top out the maximum savings honey could "find" so you might have a 20% coupon but honey can promise to find only 15%.

Yeah, the performance pushed me away as well. I haven't had a graphics card struggle in a long time. It was very painful to see it happen to me in VR. Like damn near nauseating.

Oh my god yes!

I always thought that heaven sounds like hell. It'll be great for about a week but eventually nonstop perfection would become so monotonous. Like playing a video game that you completed for all eternity. It'd be the worst kind of torture, to make everything you love into something you get bored of.

Have you looked at resonite at all? It is what they're trying to aim for.

I've brought it up before but every time I mention it's been like that for over a decade, they all lose interest

I believe they're talking moé? pronounced mo-ay

Because the cat is cute and adorable and it only thinks it's hiding but it's not.

Although owning two cats I recognize the moments before a pounce, this a horrifying moment. How has being played with by a cat the size of Clifford not been turned into a horror story yet?

My neck clicks whenever I turn to the right.

... you know that's really an apt comparison. Never thought about it that way but really it's like a trolley problem except it is their job to shout for people to come up and pull the lever.

It's no surprise they had trouble finding volunteers.

If it's twice, it's not a random twitch or awkward wave. He sieg heiled the front and the back

 

I remember when I was young I could just turn on the TV, pick any channel, and I would watch a properly timed ball drop in New York.

Now? It took ages to find a new years countdown on youtube. Couldn't find a decent option and eventually I settled on a tower in Texas that was in the central time zone.

Is there a good ball drop replacement for people who don't own a TV and live purely online? It doesn't need to be fancy, just count down without me having to synchronize watches -_-
