I take my dog for a walk in my neighborhood and walk by no less than 10 different camera setups, and those are the ones I actually notice. Paranoia has led us down the road to a post-privacy society.

We had corned beef and cabbage last night, and tonight we’re having lemon pepper chicken drums with grilled corn and veggies.

Well, that’s an opinion.

My brother, my brother, and me- a fake advice show. Pardon My Take- national sports podcast. The Ringer F1 Show- ins and outs of Formula 1 Motorsport.

This is one of the silliest things about video games. There is so much quality content available, but gamers love to complain about the only game they play. They could just play something else, but then they wouldn’t feel morally superior, or something? It’s very silly. I play GT7 frequently and some of the complaints from the community are just ridiculous.

It’s been a problem for awhile. The media needs clicks so saying something is 7.5/10 doesn’t really drive engagement. Gamers have especially fed into this narrative because the media surrounding new products is always filled with hype and billed as the next greatest thing. It’s caused justified pushback from the community, but I think the pendulum has swung a bit in the other direction now. It’s tough feeling lukewarm about something when you’ve been told it’s supposed to be great. Additionally, the publishers, and some developers, in this industry are greedy cutthroats, which has made them easy targets for people’s frustration. The problem is now that frustration is focused on EVERYTHING involving the games industry.

A few years ago I wanted to take some classes at a community college, and one of their requirements is to take an assessment test to see where you’re at with everything. I told myself there’s no way I wanted to take any remedial math classes, so I used Khan Academy to refresh my skills, and I actually learned some new techniques. It’s great!

I’ve noticed that anyone who has gotten one newly installed can’t stop looking at it for every small thing. It’s like built-in paranoia. Not to mention that every time I take a walk in my neighborhood I’m now on bunch of different people’s cameras without even knowing it.

The eagles are my wife’s favorite team and it was a fun watch for us. Ass. Whoopin.

I’m already subbed. I’ve been trying to be more active about commenting

I genuinely miss the F1 and CFB communities for the commentary, but I’m glad I left reddit when they killed 3rd party apps. It’s nice to have a media feed that isn’t cluttered with ads.

There’s quite a few jobs that aren’t union eligible, and trust me when I say I understand how they operate. The first trump admin made it easier to fire federal workers, and believe it or not, there are federal workers that do get fired for doing a bad job. I’m “making an educated guess” that some of those people facing disciplinary actions took the option to resign because I’m telling you what I’m personally seeing.

Im making an educated guess that there’s a decent amount of those 40k employees that were actually facing disciplinary actions or termination and are using it as a way to possibly avoid it.

It’s the closest thing to Apollo or Narwhal for Reddit, but for Lemmy.

The problem is that it just makes more financial sense to just not insure the area. The property itself is wildly expensive and then the owners are sure to lawyer up if they don’t get exactly what they want. Makes more sense to just not issue policies.

This has been going on for quite some time, and will just continue in the background. I always had suspicions about all the positive comments on advertisements. This just confirms that they’re faking engagement numbers.

My friend, I understand how manufacturing works. I was just looking to see who might be a better choice to support with a purchase.

It’s a similar situation with power tools. There’s about 4 large Chinese manufacturers that make almost everything, despite what the logo on the side says. I did some research last time I made a purchase and it was disappointing.

I wouldn’t even say anything unless someone bothers to ask.

I started skipping the big “celebration” and now just make it at home. It turns out I actually do like Thanksgiving food if it’s prepared by someone who knows how to cook and actually served hot. Previously, I was used to dishes made by people who had no business making them and food served lukewarm because the amount of people that you had to get together on the same page to finally fucking eat.
