you can only take five photos per day without paying for a subscription, which costs $0.99 / month or $10.99 USD / year

Are you kidding me with this shit?! I have no problem with paying $11 straight up for an app, so it’s not about the money. I simply refuse to encourage the garbage “subscription all the things” model.

The “You get what you pay for” excuse doesn’t hold up. My 77-inch LG OLED cost over $3k USD. It’s still full of ads and spies on me unless i neuter it.

Mass Effect Trilogy (legendary edition).

“Hi, not mom, I’m daughter!”

Branch out to another long-running show like Doctor Who.

In every community, there is always another power-hungry asshole ready to jump on the opportunity to have a tiny bit of control over somebody else.

Mods not modding is nothing new to reddit. The only impact they would feel is if users stopped posting. I don’t see that happening though.

A company I worked for a decade ago used Greek and Norse gods to name our servers. There was Odin and Thor, Zeus and Dionysius, etc. Having been a huge fan of Stargate SG-1, I kept suggesting various Goa’uld names, and one made it through - Chronos.

That’s as close to mythology as I got.

House Republicans to call on Tuesday for an investigation into whether the use of taxpayer funds for security for the trip violated ethics rules.

The gall! How dare they open up their dirty word holes to preach anyone about ethics when half of them are bought and paid for by the highest bidder! Fucking unreal.

I, for one, thank the German government for introducing me to a new site.

I also choose this guy’s dead wife.

I’m in the opposite camp - never answer calls from area codes same as mine. Scammers now target numbers with same area code as the one they’re spoofing. If also the first 3 digits after the area code match too, that’s an even higher chance of a scam.

It is. And don’t call me Shirley.

If you think that these days resumes actually reach developers, I have an AI company to sell you.

I would like to see these publishers take on OpenAI, Midjourney and others, who basically said that copyright laws should not apply to them because AI would be “impossible” without them having free access to everything.

you can be certain that these publishers don’t know that you exist

I think it’s better this way.

Someone tell those scientists that Season 2 of Last of Us is coming soon.

… but can become president.

Can we first stop voter suppression, please?

They can. But often they don’t, until it’s too late.

so of course you fix your neighbors roof, otherwise they will not help you in the future.

You know what they say about common sense.

Back to my condo story. A few years into my fight with them over the leaky roof, a radiology office opened up on the 1st floor’s commercial space. Very quickly the 2nd floor residents came to find out how loud those MRI machines get, and wanted everyone to chip in for installing soundproofing. At that point 3 other units on my floor also began experiencing leaks on their ceilings because turns out water doesn’t stop at apartment boundaries. The people who were voting down fixing the leak were very angry at us for voting down installing soundproofing. They just couldn’t wrap their brains around the idea of shared benefit until it hit them in the face.
