  • I often wonder who is buying these?? I can somewhat understand NordVPN, but Raycons?? They’re almost as expensive as name brand earbuds but come off as a cheap dollar store brand. But I guess people really like their fav YouTube channels to actually buy these?

  • You make a good point I didn’t think about! All that money into advertising that could have gone into the product or better avenues like paying your workers a better wage. And that feeds back into the last part of your comment, that if workers were paid and treated better, I think a lot more workers would take more pride in their work and encourage more customers through word of mouth.

    I remember my ex and one other person recently telling me about going to Walmart and having employees explicitly tell customers they would never shop at the store they work for.

    That’s crazy! All that money they waste on ads could’ve gone to the employees who would be less likely to trash the company and make them look horrible to shop at.

    Versus a place like Costco where I can’t remember ever seeing an ad but treats their employees well enough that employees do encourage people to shop at their stores.

  • I’d say depends on where you are and what you plan to use it for.

    In my state, at least, I considered it, but I wouldn’t be able to use it to the fullest because you can’t legally ride them on some highways because it can’t keep up with the speed and I often needed to use those highways. Without using those, I would either get stuck somewhere, need to take a longer route, or illegally use the highway which could be dangerous.

    So I opted to just get a motorcycle instead of a scooter for my situation.

    But if it’s just around a city or town, a scooter would do the job just fine.

  • And removable battery. This will be coming for EU soon, hoping for the rest of us too.

    Absolutely bonkers that a company can claim to be environmentally friendly despite their phones being practically disposable once the battery gets under 70% health.

  • Recently I’d say. She had a lot of good qualities and we had good times, but we ended on a sour note when it became apparent to me that she was selfish and after she gaslit me.

    I had long been bothered by her practically ignoring me after the afternoon hours. I felt really alone most evenings and nights. I’d call her and she wouldn’t answer or text her and wouldn’t hear from her until the next day. I’m 99% sure she wasn’t cheating on me, but nevertheless, it still hurt to know she was often ignoring me.

    When I brought up how lonely I felt, her response was “it’s not my job (to make you not feel lonely)”. I didn’t realize it was..? That’s not at all what I was saying or trying to insinuate. I was trying to make her understand that she would tell me she would call me later that evening and never do so and I would make attempts to contact her and she wouldn’t respond. I felt alone and out of place.

    Then she said some stuff to her ex that made me feel uneasy but I simply asked her to elaborate a bit on what she said. This is when she gaslit me to turn the problem back on me and in my face, saying I was making the situation about myself.

    Then she spent the rest of the day enjoying herself and never once reaching out to me. It was highlighted more so on that day due to it being my dad’s 5th anniversary of him passing. But she didn’t know and I wasn’t holding that against her. It just so happened to coincide on this day and made me realize how selfish she usually was to me and how bothered it made me feel.

    And then funny enough was how she said to me “I reached out to you and I felt alone.” Huh…where have I heard that before? And that remark was made because I simply asked her to elaborate on the weird thing she said to her ex. Saying “a lot would have to change for us to get back together”. The fact you have conversations like this with your ex when we’re supposed to be together is wild on its own, but the fact you said that sounds weird for someone who’s supposed to be in a committed relationship. But I didn’t say that and I didn’t react negatively to it. I simply asked her to explain what she meant by saying that to her ex.

    And her response was to blow up on me for it and say I was making it all about myself 🤷‍♂️

    Oh well. Good riddance to that relationship. I’ve been single ever since but I’d rather be single and at peace than to be treated and talked to like that.

    It’s a shame and I sometimes miss her, but then I’m reminded of that and all the selfish ways she was with me and I’m happy to be single than to be there again.

  • Not always, but generally his right more times than not. I was playing with him specifically last night to get him to use the left but he kept using the right.

    I think it depends on his position to me, where he may be comfortable to use his left at some times and that’s when he chooses his left.

    It’s something I just noticed last night so I’m still new to recognizing it as well.

    Edit: ah I see what you mean. I was writing and changing my sentence mid-sentence. Bleh. Sorry for the confusion.

  • I noticed this last night with my cat.

    I taught him a few years ago to reach out with his paw to ask for pets and he always seems to use his right paw even though I taught him on both paws. He reaches out his right paw and taps my hand or me elsewhere and brings my hand to his chin to get some pets.

    Just noticed it is almost always the right but sometimes he will use the left, but he seems to prefer the right.

    Edit: added a word to make this more clear

  • Get yourself a dashcam yesterday! You can go as cheap as $30 USD on Amazon nowadays for a basic one. Just the sight of one is enough for people like this to sometimes back off, assuming they know they were in the wrong.

  • Just now lol

    This lady at work is just insufferable to work with sometimes and she accused me of installing software to “her” server because I’ve said that I’m creating a replacement server so it can be on a newer version of Windows.

    As I’ve told you many times before, I’m not touching “your” precious server. I am simply mirroring what is on there to a newer server and then we can begin testing with this completely separate server and make changes there. The only things I’ve done there is log on and take screenshots and save said screenshots to my local computer.

    “Your” server having space issues has literally not a damn thing to do with anything I’m doing, as I have said repeatedly before.

    Thankfully she accepted my response with an “ok”. An apology would have been nice for accusing me of doing this, but that’s too much to ask of her so I’ll settle for acceptance.

    I think she acts the way she does because she’s the only one who does this job and thinks she’s invincible. Which she is, to a degree.

    She does this to everyone and even publicly, so that helps to at least I know I’m not the problem here because I often am blaming myself when others accuse me and giving them the benefit of the doubt.

  • Who decides what is hateful and worthy of removal? How is it not censorship? This is such a dumb article lol

    You don’t have to be a free speech advocate. It’s fine if you want censorship, just quit changing definitions to make yourself sound less authoritarian.

  • Yeah…what we have today as “AI” makes a ton of mistakes. Well, maybe not a ton, but enough that it cannot be relied on without a human to correct it.

    I use it as a foundation at work.

    ChatGPT, write me a script that does this, this, and that.

    I often, like 98% of the time, won’t get what I asked for or will get something that it interpreted incorrectly. It’s common sense to me but maybe not to others to not run whatever it spits out blindly. Review what it outputted, then test it somewhere. I often create a similar file structure somewhere else and test there and then after a few tests and reviewing and making modifications, then I feel comfortable running whatever it spit out to me.

    But I don’t think I’ll ever not double check whatever any type of AI spits out as a response to me for whatever I’ve asked. Humans should always have the last word before action, especially when it comes to healthcare.
