I remember how many damn licensed games came out during that period. There was just almost a game for everything, it was nuts.
American Choppers had a game. Hannah Montana had several. Let's give Dukes of Hazzard a game, let's give Starsky and Hutch a game. Do they have to be good? Nope, they never were but let them be a thing anyways.
Ooooo, I'm so not impressed that your only breathing existence is to dig through people's post history to connect something insulting. Get a life, dude.
The thing people need to remind themselves is that - it's subjective. You don't really know how good a product is, unless it's in your hands or you've got hands-on experience. It sucks, because we can't demo everything and it forces us to sometimes take financial risks.
It just comes down to what you're looking for out of a product. Is it X-free from Y chemicals? Does it meet a specific standard you're looking for?
What pisses me off with reviews sometimes is how vague and scarce a review can be. Most of the time it's people just going "It works! Thanks!" or "It sucks. Don't buy!". Like, I can't evaluate a product on that alone, I need a little more to work with. And a lot of the time too is that people will just complain in a review of something that isn't even about the product like "it didn't arrive on time...0 stars". How is that relevant to the product? Sounds more like a problem with the shipping service, two different things.
You don't need to always write reviews spanning 10 paragraphs. But christ, just write more than "it sucks, don't buy". Why does it suck? What makes it suck? Come on, details.
Yeah but these days, if someone sets up mobile verification or 2FA, it's not going to be that easy going through forgot password links. Codes will just be sent to a mobile phone or a recovery address that most likely won't be seen and it'll force the individual wanting access to go the route of hacking means.
I used to once believe, that a lot of what is on the internet lasts forever. It was a little naive to think, because over the course of my time online, I've seen things that I thought would last, ended up not lasting.
I would sometimes cross-search old usernames of mine because I do get around online. I can only now see my past accounts that I've made at least 5 years ago. Only 2 accounts that I recall, are 10+ years old when it used to be a bit more. It tells me that things will shut down eventually and it'll take down many accounts with it.
Unless you are on platforms hosted by Google or Microsoft by using their services, it's going to last for a long time because they're a little too big to just simply vanish overnight.
Your best option is to just back up what you can and if you remember to before you die, make arrangements for preservation purposes with instructions to those you'd want in on it.
Seriously, it's on you the longer you stay on that shithole platform. Despite all of the warnings. All of the things Musk has done. You're still on it. Why? Besides member count, why? Why stick with something that actively hates you and works against your best interests?
"Because uh, muh friends..."
Get those friends off the fucking platform too. If they're staying behind, consider getting new friends.
Mastodon and Blue Sky are better alternatives. Get the fuck off of X. Get some damn self-respect for once.
I miss r/Coomer though, it existed to mock and insult people who have a very unhealthy habit of masturbating and sexual addiction (particularly to lolicon). Like, fuck, sex and masturbating isn't bad on it's own but it shouldn't be your god damn identity.
I know but a lot of people are going to vote based on things that they cannot control in faraway countries.
Forget that LGBTQ rights, abortion rights, consumer rights, renter/tenant rights, homeowner rights, religious rights are all on the table. Let's hinge our very important voting decision on foreign affairs, as our own issues grow more and more out of control.
I don't care if the screen can heal itself from creases. Over time, it will possibly develop creases that'll still be made. Because phones aren't fucking books.
Sorry I'll just stick to my bland ass rectangular single screen phone, thanks. Oh and I'll stay with Samsung too since I expect rightfully that when Apple rolls this thing out, it'll be $1,500 and it'll have a bunch of drooling status-seeking fanboys falling over to get it.
I just want phones to be fun again. There's a YouTube series literally called 'When Phones were Fun'. Where a guy presents all of these models from different manufacturers in the 2000s that all had these crazy but unique phone designs.
Small phones, sliding keyboard phones, compacting phones, media device phones .etc that just had character to them.
But no, we've been living in an era of phones where they're just a series of degrees of rectangular shapes. This one is tall, this one is a little wider and it's just boring. Flipping the phone inward of itself isn't really that interesting because it's just a flip phone now with a screen that can do it.
You know, people keep asking what America is going to be like 10, 20 or even 50 years from now.
I'm going to tell you that we'll have some of the most spottiest blotches of our history. It'll be rooted from the times and events where extremely aggressive opposers to generally anything intellectual have gone on crusades to undermine anything they think is a huge problem, like scientists.
This will be our Burning of the Library of Alexandria. We'll just have inconclusive data to our researches because of politically charged people.
The parents knew for years how bad things have gotten, wasn't there a shred of a thought in their shallow brains that could've told them that if they called the cops that it'd escalate to this? No?
Where have I heard that first line before? Oh right, back in the early 2000s when Al-Qaeda was everywhere, anywhere because they're terrorists. Just a different brand!
