Hmmm, where are all those users accusing Biden of genocide? Suddenly quiet over here

Welcome to Mildly Infuriating.

They’re dissociating the numbers on the right from their normal 2-digit value into being two separate 1-digit values. 16 is not sixteen, it’s a one and six. The value of 2 is between 1 and 6.

Same goes with 3 being between 2 and 4.

Then they do even more delightfully dumb shit when extrapolating this logic to 4.

In reality, the things in OPs image are just $8 a piece.

What I’m saying is that this commenter is a fuckin savant.

I never played the first one, would anyone recommend trying it out?

Ah, the classic Mendoza solution.

Make no mistake, I am not confusing the two. In fact, the whole point of my previous post is that the problems come from the latter and not the former.

Social programs and monopoly busting worked quite well in American history, despite what many people may currently think.

We have governments, they should be for the people. They can craft legislation that protects people and ensures their economic livelihood.

Only in Australia

In fairness, this is not a new danger. Koch media affiliates have been doing this for decades.

It’s still absolutely dangerous, just didn’t need AI to be so.

You’re a grown ass person, you can make your own decisions.

Historically speaking, “adapt and move on” is a euphemism for “live in abject poverty if you don’t already have another skillset or income stream.”

For example, look at the Luddites. While the term is now used to refer to people who oppose progress, they were originally a group of craftsmen who opposed the industrialization caused by the invention of the loom. While the tech in itself is objectively good, it was the implementation by the elite class that threatened their livelihoods. They went from making decent livings in their skilled crafts to having the options to either 1) work for pennies in triple shifts at dangerous factories, or 2) fuckin riot.

I’m not arguing on behalf of the Luddites, but context is important. In order for “adapt and move on” to be viable, there needs to be a system in place that values the humans involved.

It’s called b

And then they were best friends. <3

That makes you number 25

It was like a golden age of Internet. I remember being in some gaming chatroom with Ash’s brother, who talked about how him and Ash just made these silly videos for the fuck of it. Now I’m seeing Ashley Burch kill it as an actress on Mythic Quest and get incredible voice acting roles like Tiny Tina and Aloy. Go Ash!

It’s all good, my dude. I run old school cabling for my devices so I never have to deal with these shenanigans. Plus it’s been over a decade since this happened and I haven’t seen that family since. They left me alone after the incident and were quite civil afterwards.

Also, you okay? You seem quite upset about an anecdote on the Internet that has nothing whatsoever to do with you.

And I would prefer the manager is catching their staff’s errors before they make it to the customer instead of making me do QA, but we can both only dream of a better world.

Rest assured, we’d prefer to prevent them as well. We’d prefer they didn’t make any errors in the first place, to be honest. But like you said, this isn’t a perfect world. Mistakes will happen.

I wasn’t trying to defend this specific food choice (which is a slap to the face, regardless of why). I just wanted to reassure people that it’s okay to check their food upon arrival.

Ah yes, how presumptuous of you to assume all sorts of things about me from a single sentence. I’ll be sure to give your opinion the weight it truly deserves.

As a restaurant manager, I rather you would. If we fucked up, I can fix it faster the sooner I found out.

I actually had a similar situation. I found out I had a neighbor stealing my wifi a few years ago because of BT shenanigans.

I gave the guest wifi pw to the previous neighbor, who must’ve written it down somewhere. The new neighbor was a douche who kept piggybacking off of it to watch stuff with his shitty little kid, so I’d occasionally get notifications on my network. When I confronted him about it, he got belligerent and threatened violence.

So I paired to his device and blasted porn at full volume.
