Me too. You mean out of a giant cannon to the sun, right? And it’s still Ajit Pai, right? This guy here can make the top ten though.

Wow what brave American heroes they are.

I wonder how they’re able to sleep at night.

Easy solution: Don’t buy one. Play games on a PC. Nintendo isn’t your friend.

I disagree with the same person, but without respecting them.

The next time this happens look at task manager and see what % memory you have available.

Also as others have said consider replacing your HDD with an SSD, that’s the single biggest upgrade you can make to see a massive difference in quality of life with your PC.

And gen-x has lived through everything listed and more. Boomers even more. Think gen-x gets to retire? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA good one!

That’s why we’re armed so heavily!

Some of us are face blind and this could be helpful.

No fucking way I’d trust meta not to exploit it though, so this is a hard pass.

He should have ensured in the four years he had that Trump was prosecuted, found guilty, and sentenced to federal prison for his part in January 6th.

I got denied coverage because I don’t have type 2 diabetes. My main doctor confirmed I’m pre-pre-diabetic.

Or I was.

I pay for the medication myself and the diet they have me on is literally called the Insulin Resistance Diet.

Not only have I lost just over 30 pounds in 90 days but I’m also clearly healthier just because of this diet. (At my height and weight 30 pounds isn’t shit, but I’m only just getting started.)

Yeah fuck off.

I’ve been overweight my entire life, over five decades now, and these drugs are nothing short of a miracle.

In addition to changing how my body processes sugar, it kills any desire I have for any particular food as well as hunger.

They like to say that it “silences food noise in your brain” and that works as a description but it doesn’t convey just how truly profound that is.

You can tell that it works, BTW, by how much they charge for it.

I’m down a little more than 30 pounds in 90 days. Given enough time I will be slim/normal for the first time since the 1970s, and I don’t appreciate chucklefucks calling them a scam.

You know what’s a scam? HFCS. Sugar in everything.

These new drugs though - not a scam. At all.

“Paid search engine” <— no thanks.

Bullshit. You need to go farther back than that.

Baby killers are what fucktards called the barely-not-children who were drafted against their will to fight and die in Vietnam.

People really appreciated the troops who fought in the first Gulf Wars and helped our ally Kuwait after they were invaded. In 1990.

Because after twenty years of it your body will be wrecked.

I work in IT and have multiple coworkers who actually work physically harder than I do (in their roles vs. mine) in their 60s. One is 65.

Got lots of 65 year old factory or construction workers, do ya? And I’m talking about laborers, not supervisors etc.

Man, fuck superhero fatigue.

If they made great movies and those great movies came out every month, I would abso-fucking-lutely see them. I’d join my local fancy theater’s “I go here too often” club, etc.

If people can be glued to soap operas week after week, I can handle a good superhero movie each month.

They don’t do that though. They don’t even do that once a quarter.

And you can be like virtually everyone here and cry about Disney+, but when the shows were good I was thrilled to pay for it and watch them. When the content stopped appealing to me I cancelled it. Secret Invasion remains the one MCU property I started but have no intention or interest to finish. I do not and will never like marvel zombies, and I strongly prefer live action over cartoons.

I never got super hero fatigue. I got lack of quality content fatigue.

I’m never giving epic games a dime, I can assure you if that.

This is one of those things many people seem to think will be a win but will actually suck once every app is able to charge you directly.

Meanwhile gen-x: So have we. Plus growing up during the Cold War, Iran hostage crisis, and 9/11.

Yes it sucks.

All that surveillance and they let all the criminals go free anyways…so, what’s the point?

They're not using these to catch criminals - that'd be like expecting anti-gun laws to give murderers pause. No, they use them to make people like you and me pay hundreds of dollars when the light goes from yellow to red while we're in the intersection or close enough to it that we couldn't safely stop without stopping literally in the middle of it all. That's what this is about - making people like us pay. Not actual criminals who commit a crime that they would be arrested for.

the move is a first step toward the broader deployment of those cameras, a tool that has the potential to dramatically improve traffic safety across the city if implemented well.

It's Seattle. It will not, sadly, be implemented well.

Agreed. I have a compromise. They can put in all the cameras they want - but absolutely cannot, upon pain of losing 50% of their total budget for a year per violation - outsource or subcontract the operations or anything akin to the operations of the system at all. Hire IT staff to run it, pay people to process the data. No you can't use AI. Do this or fuck off, Seattle.

I will never ever forget when a red light camera came to Redmond, at the turn leading to driving through Microsoft's campus. Can you guess what happens when you piss of a bunch of smart motivated people who have money and aren't necessarily the kindest people? That shit got challenged and removed after about six months. I still see the stump/the concrete it was embedded when when I go to my buddy's house, and it warms my heart literally every. single. fucking. time.
