Oh there’s lots I have to set the record straight about and there’s lots I could talk about, but without being asked a specific question that would just leave me to write an open-ended essay and I’m not up for it right now

Certainly, I’m always happy to share with inquisitive minds.

Is there any particular question you’d like me to address?

I spent 20 years as a producer, developer, and project manager in the lottery and games industry.

Trying to explain how lottery and games work to people and have them hear me makes me want to cry.

720 streams run from strange websites in timbucktoo have higher fidelity than the 4K stream I paid good money for.

Here’s a great price and you can share it with your friends. Wait not those friends. Wait your phone isn’t authorized anymore. Okay you authorized your phone but you need to authorize it again. Okay we just doubled the price and cut the quality again. Now you can’t watch the movies that you downloaded for offline viewing without an internet connection. Now your ad-free service has ads.

Netflix can take a long hard suck on my pudding factory, they’re never going to see another penny of my money again, and this is from somebody that goes back to the DVD days of Netflix.

I asked her how she felt about nitrogen on her lawn

She exploded. I WON’T ALLOW IT!

I said what do you think most of the breathable atmosphere is made of and what do you think comes down with rain that makes your grass grow?

You know how well that went.

Idiots like my sister.

She once sternly advised me “I won’t have any chemicals in my home”

No you’re not curious lol You’re doing textbook sea lioning

Go find someone else to mildly anmoy

I think its a fair question from a certain perspective.

However, the law requires that the package contents contain at least as much as stated. If humidity is an issue, it’s up to the manufacturer to factor that in. Besides, this is dry pasta my friend.

I also bought salami. It was 13 g short. It’s produced in the plant 4km from me.

There are no excuses to short the customer and it is illegal.

I find that sarcastically interesting.

I initially signed up for Netflix all those many years ago because it was finally a solution that was easier than piracy.

Didn’t take long for them to completely fuck me and the service over, and I left to go back to piracy and I’ll never look at Netflix again.

Have you considered that this is not a “me” problem.

Hey, that’s actually not a half bad idea I think I’ll try it!

However this brings the new concern to the surface, I’ve recently read that Google is starting to purge older results. I have seen this personally when I have tried to find articles or subjects I know exist, I know I found on Google to begin with, and they have completely disappeared from Google.

It’s like the entire Web went to shit in 6 months.

Last week I was researching hot tubs and saunas and so forth, as I was gifted a 10 visit spa pass.

Top result was rambling and obviously AI generated, packed with keywords and very little information presented in haphazard way, that was telling me that the ideal water temperature for maximum therapeutic benefit in a hot tub is 130-140F.

Yeah no problem. Once I get used to 140F water I’ll work my way towards something hotter, perhaps boiling peanut oil.

Removal from the Steam storefront doesn’t mean previously purchased licenses cannot be downloaded and played.

He tests crimps and various Amazon electical products.

That sounds very tedious, thanks for providing more information, I definitely think it sounds like one I should skip!

Try growing up in the late '70s early '80s, when adult behavior at social gatherings was almost a contest to see who could get the most obliterated-drunk, both men and women, and “one for the road” wasn’t just an expression.

I’m of the children of that generation, and when we were young we modeled our socializing after that, going out for the night involved getting hammered, didn’t matter who you were.

I’ve become quite relieved to see that in a last decade or so, the drinking culture of social gatherings is largely gone Even in people of my age range.

Of course, there’s always one or two out of 20 people that are 9 drinks deep within a couple hours and not realizing that nobody else is consuming.

The plan is in place not for toxic drinking culture, but to deal with those people. Once the precise amount budgeted for the first few quality drinks is gone, that’s when you bring out the low-bottom budget cans of expired beer, still on the plastic ring but with 2 missing and they are only basement cold.
