  • Bought replacement float and toilet seat last week to fix my aunts toilet.

    Amazon now thinks I’m a toilet repair technician or some shit. I see nothing but different kinds of floats, stoppers, tank gaskets, seats, bidets, anything that can go in or on a toilet, Amazon thinks I need.

    I’ve never been ad bombarded this hard before, and it’s about toilet parts.

  • More like there’s systems in place to prevent countries from creating a stateless person, who would have no rights anywhere.

    Just because it sounds nice to happen to people you don’t agree with, it’s still something that shouldn’t be allowed to happen.

  • If I spend 100 grand on something, it better not be fucking glued together.

    I didn’t even glue my wife’s glasses together when they broke, I soldered them. Because glue sucks for attaching metal to anything.

    Could have done bolts on the inside, or fucking rivets, or just welded the edges and it would have been better.

    Cheap ass product sold for premium prices.

  • You didn’t notice they only had one photo of the bastard? And it looked like a corporate lobby photo?

    No photos with his wife and kid. No photos of him with friends or other family. Just the one picture like he’s posing for a yearbook.

  • There’s been a pilot shortage for years.

    So the FAA reduced the requirements for being a flight instructor. There were a bunch of shitty flight instructors which led to a lot of private pilot incidents.

    I think we’re seeing the results of those shitty instructor’s students becoming commercial pilots at the same time that the seasoned pilots are leaving for retirement or cushy private roles for corporations and the wealthy.

    So it’s mainly an experience thing. Most industries run on the experience of a small group that guides new workers until they’re experienced enough to keep things moving. This is what happens when there’s not enough seasoned workers to guide all of the new employees coming in. The same thing is happening in the trades, where a lot of industry knowledge is being poorly passed down due to all of the old guard retiring at the same time as their replacements are being hired. It’s anecdotal, but I’ve heard from friends who manage facilities departments at major hospitals that there’s a lot of barely running equipment because they’ve only got a handful of people, and only 1 or 2 experienced people, trying to maintain entire campuses.

    Overworked, inexperienced employees will make mistakes. And unfortunately for them, they no longer have the opportunity to learn from experienced workers before they are thrust into critical roles.

  • Oh no, a sales platform that takes a cut of revenue.

    Valve isn’t a charity, and they provide very good services for what developers pay.

    Devs don’t need to host download servers, they don’t need to staff customer service reps, they don’t have to set up banking infrastructure or worry at all about handling payments from hundreds of different banks across hundreds of countries.

    It’s not like valve takes 30% and sits on it. They put that money to use.

  • I used to be good at games.

    And then I got older, and now I have a job, and a family, and don’t take Ritalin recreationally.

    I can’t keep up with the teenagers who spend 6 hours after school everyday playing, and that’s okay. I just play games that cater more to my time.

    Last time I played call of duty I just alt-F4d and refunded after some guy kept zooming around the map and mowing me down with some busted SMG. Those games just aren’t for me anymore.
