Being in the south, not so much. Still, there are limits to today's intolerance in more populous areas.

If I made bricks out of all the poop I ever pooped out, and built a 6 ft high wall out of the bricks, how long could I make that wall?

Highly unlikely to happen in Murfreesboro; it's got a population of over 157k (as of 2021). Living just outside Murfreesboro, I'm interested to see if this is actually enforced. I can't imagine it would go over well if attempted. Either way, it's infuriating.

Of course this would be how my town makes the news...

I have had no trouble with my Brother printer in ~7-8 years of use. Of course, laser vs inkjet is not a particularly fair comparison, but I am still never going back to HP, Canon, and the like.

Yeah, that's probably how my 7-year-old would pronounce it.

Oh no, I know Musk is childish. This was just the first time I thought about the name "Cybertruck."

So is this thing actually called a "Cybertruck"? Because that sounds like something my 7-year-old would come up with. I hadn't really given it much thought until now...

All of these puns, and nobody has called it a "dickle" yet?

Isn't he that guy with the "tech tips"?

You called it an expensive paper weight. Insulting something that people like will often prompt them to defend it. It's perfectly fine to not like something. It's fine to point out objective flaws in it. However, don't call something bad (which is essentially what you did) just because you don't like it. That starts arguments.

To be clear, I don't want to argue here. I just want to point out an observation that has impacted how and when I state my opinion.

Right, but they're review bombing Modern Warfare 3, not CoD3.

This sounds like a "you" problem.

That's you paying more for the same thing: inflation. Shrinkflation would mean getting less for the same or more money.

Per Wikipedia:

shrinkflation, also known as the grocery shrink ray, deflation, or package downsizing, is the process of items shrinking in size or quantity, or even sometimes reformulating or reducing quality, while their prices remain the same or increase.

I can't see how furniture could ever qualify as shrinkflation, unless we're counting something like the use of crappier materials.

That's about right, yeah. Please don't mock us. 🥺

"Coping" is all we can do. We're too dispersed and divided to make protests much of an option. We've got militarized and trigger-happy police, so rioting isn't much of an option. A large percentage of the population is living paycheck to paycheck, so strikes aren't much of an option.

We're screwed, but hey, the world is dying, so we won't have to worry about it for long.

So it's more accessible. You don't need to upgrade your PC regularly to play an MMO.

Beyond that, WoW is very stylized, and it's far from ugly. No, it's not realistic looking, but it is nice looking.

I'll give you two guesses.

I could get behind this. It would certainly simplify things.
