  • Yes I did. And I understand that it's not really on the grocery stores that the prices are increasing. But it's still funny when the goal of a company is literally to "drive down prices for our customers or how to increase value for them so that they'll feel their dollar went further" aaaaamd nothing but the exact opposite is happening. So yes, even tho it may not really be their fault, they're still dropping the ball on that goal lol c'mon.

  • Is this an Xbox one by chance? I used to repair those things and the touch sensor on that stupid power button can be wonky sometimes and would cause this exact issue. Why in the world they went with a touch sensitive button instead of physical button I have no clue.

  • yeah i read mostly sci fi books so around like 300-400 pages all text and i'd say the average e-book for them is like 150-200kb's so if it were books like that you'd be looking at stuffing like 300,000 books on there.

  • one day to recoup from no sleep and working nonstop everyday. One day to do all the chores and errands you didn't have time for during the work week. Then time to finally... do it all over again yay!

  • A less popular one that was surprisingly awesome was His House. Its a Netflix movie but you should be able to find it a few other places as well (🏴‍☠️). I really liked it. Unique, creepy, and pretty well made. Definitely recommend.

  • That's not quite how this works tho. Microsoft doesn't make games. Sony doesn't make games. The only exception is Nintendo but even they outsource a ton of devopment to studios like 1-up studios, monolith soft, retro studios etc. These companies just make a console that plays games and then they try to buy rights to good games or studios so they can make their games exclusive to that console to bolster sales. Sure, sony and microsoft could pour tons and tons and tons of money into creating their own studios i guess that make their own branded games but they have decided to focus on hardware sales instead. This is especially true for microsoft where the xbox is just a small part of the business where the PC market is their focus.

    From a business standpoint, it makes 10000% more sense to just try and acquire other businesses that do the work under you and you just publish their games. Which is why nintendo, sony, and microsoft all try to do it so much. I mean Sony alone has bought 14 development studios since last year.

  • This whole thing has confused the ever loving balls out of me. Xbox and Microsoft having been getting MURDERED over the last few years and ridiculed by pretty much everyone for one reason and one reason only, they have no games. Why get an Xbox? PlayStation and Nintendo have all the good exclusives. Xbox has nothing.

    Now, Microsoft goes out and buys up some IP's and studios that have games they can make exclusive if they want (even tho they've said over and over they won't for the ones that currently aren't console exclusives but we'll see on that one). So, for the first time in pretty much forever they'll have the opportunity for console exclusives other than Halo and now everyone is complaining that they'll make the games console exclusives. It's like the biggest damned if you do, damned if you don't for them lol.

    "Fuck Xbox they don't have any good exclusives."

    Microsoft goes out and gets good exclusives

    "Fuck Xbox they're making the good games exclusive."

  • Yeah my mom had pretty severe complications during labor with my brother. Ended up losing a ton of blood and she ended up staying in the hospital for 5 days to recover. She got fired while in the hospital on the 3rd day lol.

    FMLA certainly isn't the best but it's better than nothing. Baby steps I guess.

  • I'm not saying don't try. I'm just saying stop telling everyone "This is it! This is gonna be the one!" And then absolutely nothing happens.

    Don't tell me what is gonna happen. You can go ahead and let me know if anything does actually happen. I'm just so sick of hearing the same old "we got em now" story and then absolutely nothing happens

  • Has there ever been a better example of the government giving the middle finger to its constituents? Nearly 90% of Democrats and 80% of Republicans supported net neutrality and it STILL got overturned. That just blows my mind.

  • That's really interesting. I've lived in 9 states and I can honestly say that outside of the southeast, it is legitimately difficult to consistently find people that dont think the us is a flaming sack of shit or at least headed that way. Seriously, I've heard waaaaaaaaaaaaay more negative talk on the us from Americans than anything positive. Especially in like the last decade. But this place is so damn big that anyone's experience would vary a crazy amount so that makes sense.
