I can’t imagine living with as much insecurity as conservatives face every day

It has to be a nightmare. Maybe that’s why they so mad all the time at the sightest breeze of sanity

State politicians are getting worse and worse

My gf absolutely hates me for this.

“I know that villain! He was in Not Another Teen Movie like 20 years ago for a couple minutes”

You may meme like Mays but you post like shit

Ahh the idiots down voting who have no clue what this is from

Are you saying insurers will look for a way to avoid payouts? I’ll believe it when I see it!!

Well, if you count AOL, PC

$10? That’s a steal.

One of the last times I just straight up bought a full CD was 1999

Mr Bungle. California. $18

Still one of the best purchases ever, though

$10? What a deal

I have a saying every day that I stick to:

“I’ll do it tomorrow”

Exactly

Maybe they changed it, but it wouldn’t let me back then. Definitely not going back

And someone who knows better please correct me if I’m wrong, but 10 years ago for streaming is an eternity ago.

I believe back when the show was new and hot you could only watch HBO WITH a cable subscription

There’s a reason people pirated it instead of just subscribing

Ok, I was right: this late 2014 article says they’d finally offer standalone “next year”

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/time-warner-hbo-stand-alone-subscription-netflix,27892.html

Edit: April 2015 is when it started. So quite a bit after GoT started

Ahh yes that’s different :). Who fills their cartridges with desks though?

I was trying to read up on that a few months ago, we were talking about the deadly gas they’d disperse to extinguish things. Fires, supposedly, or life, if your luck or legs aren’t as good as they should be

You need super fast reflexes. When the code word is yelled it’s a race between you unplugging it and the server doing what it needs to do to neutralize you

That’s the reason back in 2013 or so I switched to PS3 for my main gaming. MS wanted a shitload for a tiny ass 360 hard drive, but with Sony it came with a 250GB drive out the gate and I replaced it with a 1TB for less than the 250 from Microsoft

Of course, I switched to PC because Sony got greedy again with no mp3s on the system, trying to make me re-buy games I already had, and charging for online

I mean, you’ve already made a bad choice going with an inkjet. Buying more ink is a bad decision. So is buying a new printer but you might get better features

And if anything you’re part of a nice metric that shows buying replacement ink isn’t happening

Sure it is. Replacing all the ink is the same price or more

My color brother laser is great. I needed color but either option is the better one

My Canon wouldn’t scan a document to store on my PC because I was out of yellow ink

I haven’t given them another cent and it’s been 15 years. Fuck you Canon. Fuck you HP

Well, I’ve disabled nsfw so really it’s like 95% memes for me at this point

That’s why I’m never letting my kids move out. I too enjoy the benefits of slave labor

You have no data. Stop moving the goalposts

I said their traffic is down as is ad revenue, which is a fact. You made up something, I called you out on it and provided sources. You still haven’t.

Then you throw back with something that has been called out as a weak revenue source. Twitter Blue? Stop it, it’s embarrassing

Twitter Blue is good revenue per user, but the number of users who subscribe is less than 1%. It’s pathetic and doesn’t make up for lost ad revenue. And for the usability of the site it’s the worst thing that ever happened and why traffic is down. No one wants to see responses from hateful dopes who paid $8 to be seen. Ask Regional Sports Networks how its going to have a much smaller number of people pay it more money directly instead of getting a big chunk because of a high user base (great, if your goal was bamkruptcy)

The internet hasn’t told me to feel shit about Musk. Stop with that disingenuine nonsense to dismiss an intelligent adult’s ability to independently recognize another person is a loser. It’s an embarrassingly weak argument that I’m only disagreeing with your idolization because I have no independent thoughts. You’re the one whose only source of truth is from Musk himself. That’s sad and if you want to say someone has been told what to think…there it is, take a look in the mirror.

I read what he says and see how he treats people, and the only conclusion you can arrive at if you’re not a sociopath is that Musk is a definite asshole loser, as are the people who worship him. He’s not smart. Not clever, and it’s clear his other businesses are doing well only because actual smart people are running things, not him. We see the result of his direct leadership and wow, it’s bad.

I get it. The most pathetic and insecure people need someone to look up to. An ideal state of yourself is an insecure rich guy, I guess. Still a loser inside and out, but now you have more money.

Just responding with a question?

Give me a break

Twitter Blue is a dud and will get them maybe 100 million a year. Less than they’re losing each quarter in ad revenue. A tiny fraction of losers subscribe

Just stop, your ball gargling is embarrassing

The company is doing shitty, even if you’re pathetic and only focus on what Musk has stated himself

A man who has always lied to gain financially? No, that’s not a real source

Twitter’s US advertising revenue plunged 59 percent year over year during a recent five-week period

The NYT also said it talked to six ad agency executives who “said their clients continued to limit spending on the platform. They cited confusion over Mr. Musk’s changes to the service, inconsistent support from Twitter, and concerns about the persistent presence of misleading and toxic content on the platform.”

Twitter traffic had already been trending downward for months, according to data from the internet infrastructure company Cloudflare and the web analytics firm Similarweb. But the pace of decline appears to have accelerated in recent days

https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/10/tech/twitter-threads-future/index.html

That’s enough for anyone but go ahead and believe a habitual liar who’s desperate to save his $44B life embarrassment

Edit: fine, a quote from the man himself saying advertising revenue has crashed

You first buddy. I’ve got it ready to go, but you were first with your obviously made up claim. You don’t get to demand it first

“Cumulative”

Ad revenue is down. Site traffic is down

Imaginary metrics aren’t helpful.

I broke a record today, most cumulative life minutes ever! I’ll break it again tomorrow too. Hell I just broke it compared to a minute ago

Elon and his new CEO have super high “deflect the conversation away from people finding out you shit your pants” energy

Took a short mid day nap yesterday. The gf was already napping for an hour or so. She woke up and darted out of the room. She later said that she thought it was morning and she was late for work

Here’s how you can understand it:

American company orders are greedy and they will do whatever they can to not pay workers, including trying to con customers into paying them

As a customer I have a rule for tipping that is easy to follow

You come to me, I tip. I come to you, I don’t

Only exception is if I ever do take out and the servers have to prepare it. I’ll tip them

Pirating games is kinda a pain in the ass these days and I don’t even bother on PC

But I will pirate as much from Nintendo as possible. From their price fixing in the 80s and 90s to hostility towards people who want to buy games to people not even being able to get games they’ve paid for…

Fuck Nintendo

You. Sound like a nice and smart person. Can you send me your 78 character friend code so I can enter it with a controller to add you?

Maybe my phrasing wasn’t clear. Does it for me = really makes me happy.

I did change it to match my theme/wallpaper which changes every day. Every other app had that but when I enabled it I missed the green so now it stays

Right handed, left pocket. But I also hold it in my left hand and when these damn things were small enough to be one handed, I used my left

The green color in liftoff just does it for me

But I stay for the granular text options that so few have

Oh, they’ve gone full Quora?

No diet works without cheat days. As long as you don’t have too many and stick to no more than 6 or 7 per week you’ll be ok

Yep. On Sundays I don’t leisure properly and on Monday I feel like doing those things but can’t

Yes but would Elon be Elon if he bragged about things he actually earned? Requesting a dick measuring contest is just another example of him gaining whatever he has from his dad fucking people (over)

Well, there’s one party that has made it a point specifically to make things worse for people. They say it out loud. So vote for the other one while it’s still a 2 party system

Any other mentality is delusional

No, we’re not going to both parties this discussion.
