Hey baby, I'm self aware. I got that headspace app, because I care

I remember playing Assault on the Control Room on Halo 1 and one of the doors glitched and didn't unlock. I must have walked around those hallways for hours trying to work out where I was supposed to go

I'm the htopopotamus, my processes are bottomless

Looks like they just did it for a laugh

You fool you just typed it and spoiled your experiment

I'm part of those people. The usual argument is that everybody's phone is listening all the time, without agreeing to permissions or showing the mic notification or anything like that. I've never seen any proof of that. This article is about a bunch of shovelware apps (Pool 3D, Beer pong: Trickshot, Honey Quest etc) that aren't even listed anymore. There's nothing about them skirting permissions or hiding the notification.

People see the headline and assume it's Facebook et al.

You mean you don't cut it open and scoop?

I FUCKING HATE GIFT VOUCHERS.

I have a little stack of vouchers for places I almost never visit, all expiring at random times in the next year or so. I have to remember what shops I have them for and make sure I spend money there before they expire. It's just one more thing to worry about. "Oh, I have to buy this from Screwfix - do we have the vouchers for them? Maybe! How much? I don't know, it doesn't say on there. Has it expired yet? Not sure. Do they work online? Oh it's not working maybe we used it and forgot to bin it". And then the annoyance of spending money somewhere and forgetting to use vouchers. Why do people burden me with this and consider it a gift? Do I look like somebody who shops at John Lewis?!

Oh please. I'd love to reply to that with a gif

Of course they're both horrible but then what's the point of this meme? That they're both bad?

"Margaret Thatcher is just Steven Seagal for women"

These statements make it all the more maddening. How can you say it's not a triumph for one side while they literally toast champagne on your doorstep. Fucking old cunts, you know you'll all be dead soon and we'll just change the law anyway.

At least it's becoming less common for people to start comments with "Imagine..."

You definitely need to do something about it if the bags are starting to melt

We use butter. It also helps that our bread isn't absolutely disgusting.

The weird TLDs will just be normalised

Error message: "you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to fix this"

Junior dev: 😵

It's a weird one, they're usually acknowledging that the "boffin" in question is an expert or knowledgeable. Yet it's definitely a negative connotation imo, in a kind of anti-intellectual way. Here's a shitrag making the case for it being positive, if you're interested.

I definitely have a negative connotation of anyone that uses the word unironically.

I've said this before but I really want to hear some stories of trans men using the womens bathroom in these places. Big muscular men with bald heads and beards, barging in pissing everywhere and leaving toilet seats up.

I want to see the meltdown when people find out they're just following the law. Please trans bros do this for me.

This is a perfect example of why science is always useful. Without the knowledge of the results, it would be easy to point and laugh at the start of this. You can almost see the anti science headlines. "Boffins spend TWO MILLION of YOUR TAX to make petunias PURPLE".

Glad you agree on the correct pronunciation of schedule. Fuck the people that say schedule.
