I once saw a conservative dipshit I knew in HS get mad at a black man playing the lead in Othello at a local playhouse, posted it to FB ranting like an idiot

He proudly didn’t read it in English class, clearly

I USED to get amazing support from Amazon

Example: GTX 980TI on sale for 600 instead of 800 so I grab it, but the order doesn’t appear in my history? A day later it suddenly does and I’m charged FULL PRICE. Reach out to them to be like “where’s my $200 off?” And they sent back “shit fam you rite, should be $400” and refunded me the difference

Now: ordered some syrup pumps for coffee drink making, 4 pack (4 individual items sent in 1 box), one comes busted, ask for replacement on (1) item. Instead get auto-refund approved, a rude message saying “they’ll make an exception this time”, and the refund took 3 weeks

I told my ISP explicitly not to provide one as I owned my own

I was out of town when they set it up, guess what was installed

It took a year of calls for the rental to be taken off my bill and they never took the hardware back. I have lots of everything they said (recorded calls and told them I was too since 2 party state)

I love having 1 fucking Option!

Mine WAS hurting, then I filed fraud charges with the bureaus and copied the email that showed Comcast saying I didn’t owe them anything

Now it’s only experian that keeps getting them about every 6 months, after 4 reports they started vanishing off my report within a week automatically lol

Absolutely insane that companies can just say that you owe them money without ever actually contacting you, sell your “debt” to someone, and have that hurt your credit for 7 years

always bemoan how difficult it is to park

I’ve made multuple older men incredibly upset by laughing at them when they say this

They get pissy and respond with “well you’re some skinny long haired hippie who drives an EV so what do you know?” Which, yeah, all of that is true

But then I pull up the pictures of me 4x4ing in the rain and snow through fire smoke at work, pointing out that I drove a RAM3500 fully kitted out and lifted with a giant set of 4 110g tanks in the bed blocking anything other than my mirror and cam view, yet I only had issues parking when people didn’t know how to stay in their own lines, and that I regularly had to squeeze my truck into areas with an inch or less of clearance in order to do my fucking job on a construction site, and I never hit anything but a rock (downhill, someone left a fucking rug out on some dirt in the rain and when my truck hit it I just slid til I hit the rock, company deemed me blameless)

They usually get flustered and change the subject p quick at that point

I don’t blame the MD tbh, if I had to try and make Starfield worth buying I’d fucking quit

Fire Emil and you’ll be on a good start to un-fucking yourselves, Bethesda

The journalist DID get the correct type of gun. The title is not written by the journalist and is the only place revolver is used.

It’s in the subtitle, and it was produced by the news organization alongside the article. It’s part of the article as released by the journalistic news outlet, it impacts the story, and it’s embarrassing

And the way you say, “what other basic facts have they misrepresented” makes it seem like you think this was an intentional thing to skew the stor

Nice assumption, don’t read shit into what other people say and you won’t get it wrong. My point wasn’t that it’s purposefully wrong at all, just that it is wrong, and an insanely basic thing to get wrong. Assume incompetence before malice, you know?

Only gun nerds will care about that detail

Lol, completely untrue. My wife has no idea about guns and her first comment was that the gun in the thumbnail wasn’t a revolver and she chuckled. It’s a really basic fact to fuck up

so the editor/copy person who actually wrote the headline likely did no research at all

Exactly? If the person doing the tag line for the article couldn’t be bothered to not make a basic error fixed with a 2s web search: why should you trust that the person who wrote the article did, or was checked properly?

The point is that the type of gun is not important

The point is that I learned in my journalism classes that missing basic facts like this erodes trust in you as a news source, for obvious reasons. Well, obvious to people with half a brain, anyway.

Just like if the person had said the officer was wearing a cotton shirt under his uniform when it was actually a poly-cotton blend, it’s not 100% accurate but it doesn’t change the point.

Absolutely not the same at all. What the office wore underneath his uniform is nether relevant nor in the thumbnail next to the article title. The type of gun is both of those things

Again, it’s a very simple concept: if the news source cannot be assed to do a basic fact check on their title when it’s blatantly false by their own thumbnail then they cannot be trusted to fact check jack shit

If a journalist can’t get the basic fact of revolver vs Glock right, what other basic facts have they misrepresented?

thats why factual accuracy in news stories is important, especially if the weapon in question is the articles thumbnail, making it the first thing many will notice

Ill add something I’ve never really seen anyone mention: it used to be a lot better at staying on topic without ME keeping it that way

For example: this weekend I was playing Blops 3 and googled shit like “Winslow accord bo3” and after 1-3 searches I could just type shit related to bo3 and even if it had relevant pages related to other shit, it’d remember my recent searches and keep them rather relevant even if it was on my phone or a new window rather than the same search bar

At least, it used to work that way. Now every 4-5 searches it suddenly forgets what tangent I was on and I have to start adding qualifiers again to get relevant searches

I’ve heard from shit tons of sources that Astro Bot is straight-out good, yes

Lol, downvoted for sharing genuine opinions people I personally know have, as well as sources who are super willing to call out corporate garbage for what it is loving it, like Stephanie Sterling

They could have a community center or a library. Sure funds are hard to come by but what kind of political party would even consider that?

Funny enough here in the rural parts of CA I’ve seen Raleys and Holiday Markets putting in large community areas with amenities like cheap (sometimes free) printers, office space, children’s areas, etc.

They’re not perfect or anything but its wild to see capitalist behemoths pull off something actually close to what the ideal would be, even if it’s likely to manipulate people somehow

Make it law that communities with a dollar general or fuck it any grocery store we all have to eat have a community center of halfway decent quality in it like those places have done willingly and you’ll have an improvement, guaranteed

When I worked at subway… Fuck me 10 years ago this month…

We pulled them nipples and the inserts off every night and rinsed them in hot water, then left em overnight in sanitizer solution, and I (being 6’4") had to clean the ice holder every 2 weeks to a month, never got told bad in there thanks to that

There was a picture our boss would show you of what happens when you don’t that convinced everybody to clean it religiously. We got free drinks from the machine, after all, we’d only be killing ourselves faster with that shit being dirty

That has never in the entire history of the human race being an individual who looks more guilty than he does. He gives off rapist energy

Completely agree. Too bad that’s not proof of anything, we’re supposed to learn that in grade school

how can you possibly be defending him?

They didn’t, they simply reminded everyone that accusations are not in and of themselves proof even if we dislike the person immensely

To me it seems like you have done many entry level positions which yes, most require a lot of typing.

I’ve done a lot of office positions, which require a lot of typing. The level of the job isn’t nearly as important as the field

I know it’s hard to imagine but there are a lot of blue collar jobs that use computers but don’t care if you type fast

Cool with the condescension, you’re nowhere near in the right enough for it. Speed isn’t the only skill in typing, as well

Bold of you to assume I don’t just let those errors in the log pile up

If I don’t look at the log then they don’t exist!

and yeah programming simply doesn’t require fast typing

Funny enough making MC plugins and mods while moderating my own server was what got me to over 100 WPM

Because without meds my brain fires so fast that if I DIDNT type at 115 I’d have forgotten where my for loop was going before ive even finished the conditions it triggers under

My code is slooooooopppyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy thanks to that, but it’s also not for anyone else’s eyes ever so im good

If one is required to perform the action of typing regularly for their job then one would hope they have skill at it

Every job I’ve ever interviewed for that wasn’t physical labor asked for my typing speed and took my incredibly fast speed as a big bonus, even the ones where typing was only a minor part of what I would have been doing

And make sure you set it up right to do so

My dumb ass left VPN_AUTO_PORT_FORWARD set as “Tru” in my docker-compose and apparently that made the image assume I MEANT “false” so it was randomizing my port and not matching the VPN to it

Fixed that stupid typo and suddenly I can seed! I. Can. FIGHT!

“Dancing the commala” has broken my pronunciation of Kamala Harris permanently

DeltaTime is the old “tie the physics to the framerrate” thing old console games did because they knew they’d be running at a certain frame rate

When I was learning unity for a week it was literally lesson #2 in 3 different video lesson series NOT to use DeltaTime like that
