I mean you only have to shoot to where it will be half way, moon will take care of the rest

The US in 6 months: “fuckin watch me.”

Yeah people just care about bread on the table and the roof over their head. Telling 150 million voting Americans to care about the world is falling on early 100 million deaf ears.

75 million don’t care, or actively dislike anybody outside the US.

Another 38 million only care as long as it’s convenient. And right now it’s not convenient.

Maybe 10-15 million are anti Republican because they’re lgbtq+.

Of the 150 million voters, 80 million are voting on a single issue. And for many of them, it’s either for or against abortion.

We’ve been supplying the West with a military for decades. We put more in to our ministry, and by extension every NATO member country’s military than the rest of NATO combined. We don’t have social programs, no healthcare, no child care, under funded education, no paid sick leave, no parental leave. We have a big shiney military.

People can’t afford to take a day off for the flu and they’re supposed to care about Europe?

Big ask mate. People here care about how they’re doing today and tomorrow. Not Ukraine 6 months from now.

You can disagree with that guy. That’s fine. But you need to understand that your attitude mirrors the attitude of the democratic party, and it literally just cost them the election.

Ignore the people who want change, assuming they’ll vote for you anyway is a great way to get them to vote for someone else.

Reform or fail.

Where my FF8 homies at tho

So it’ll be paid off sometime between the last star dying and the first black hole evaporating.

This is great and advisable.

But what about online only games that can be nuked whenever the publisher feels like it?

That’s extremely the aesthetic I love about cyberpunk. Sure the story in Blade Runner is great but look at all the neat shit!

On the inverse I’ve found it to be quite bad at that. I can generally count on the AI answer to be wrong, fundamentally.

Might depend on your industry. It’s garbage at g code.

My money is still on Paul Le Roux.

Hey if the batteries are that old you should replace them anyway. Every year or two it needs new ones. They will eventually start leaking battery acid and fuck up a good flashlight

That’s far more than I want from a flashlight.

On/off. That’s literally all it needs to do. I’d like to be able to plug it in and charge it but quite frankly if I can’t get that without it just going on/off with the single press of a button I’ll replace batteries until the day I fucking die.

I use a pocket flashlight daily. It is an integral part of my job. I use flashlight in a wide variety of light conditions and different levels of reflectivity.

I have never wanted my flashlight to flash on and off, change brightness, or any of the other random crap they force in to what should be the simplest tool in my toolbox.

Press button. Change state of light. That is literally the only thing it needs to do.

Fastenal them nuts amirite??!

MSC?

Can you dumb it down a little doc?

I have an app for my sprinkler system and it’s a fucking nightmare. Not only is it basically just a web API, it’s so transparently just a glorified browser with access to exactly one site that frequently my phone thinks that app will work for whatever else I’m trying to open.

Document? Sprinkler app. Web Page? Sprinkler app. Installing from a source other than Google? Oh you better believe the sprinkler app can do that.

Doing anything takes longer to load than it would take me to walk from anywhere on my property to the fucking box and hit whatever button I need to hit.

It frequently forgets what I entered for preferences. I can tell it a week ahead what days I want it to skip but if I do that more than 24 hours on advance I might as well not have done it at all.

Oh you want to make a payment online? Let your sprinklers do that for you. YouTube video? Sprinkler app. YouTube video about fixing your fucking sprinkler system? Sprinkler app.

Apparently the one thing it can’t do is effectively manage my water usage. It’s ONE job

YouTube could fall off the face of the earth and I would probably see my quality of life improve slightly.

I don’t give a shit about Google. Perspective here is important when you threaten to leave the platform all together, as if they would care. If you’re one of the users they gain no ad revenue or subscription revenue from, they’re probably happy to see you go.

Could they be doing more to try to turn Adblock users in to paid subscribers? Sure. I’m not here to defend their methods. I’m just saying that if you’re not paying, and you can’t be served ads, they really don’t care if you continue to use the service or not.

YouTube advertising is more than 10% of Google services total profits.

That’s not a bonus, that’s a dependant revenue stream.

I’m not sure what point you think you’re making.

YouTube doesn’t want you visiting if they can’t either put ads in front of you or get you to subscribe to premium. I appreciate wanting to access YouTube without ads, but from where they’re sitting, if they scare you off with server side ads all the better.
