The only reason most of these things feel forced is because people are more perceptive and media literate now. It was always pretty corny. If anything I think it’s better now.

I imagine it’s to pad runtime.

KDE bricked my install on my main desktop after updating to the latest LTS too. No idea how that happens. I’m on opensuse leap now.

Maybe it’s that prices are increasing? But that’s across the board.

Thrifting is ruined

Music and movies are getting worse

Romance is dead

Authenticity is dying

Dude no, you’re just depressed. Go outside.

And when you point that out to the AI, those code snippets get replaced with even more spaghetti that is maybe 1% closer to actually working, at best. Been there!

She always looks good, I’m not particular about the specific texture of her skin.

Sometimes you have to clear the cache and update the lists manually to fix it.

Same, was about to say “Extra Burst, Escalating Exposure…”

“Pretending to run people over” is a crime lol. At least in the States. That’s textbook assault (making someone fear bodily harm), and arguably reckless driving or endangerment.

What is it about cars that make people into psychopaths? Or does it just bring out these things in already bad people?

Polygamous lesbians moving in together. The joke is that lesbians move in quickly, it’s a common meme.

If you relate to this then you’re old

It is, and as an autistic person I hereby give you all the R-word pass

From my understanding it’s pretty widely known that most intelligence agencies though something could happen but not the specifics, and chose not to act on that information or communicate with one another.

The exact reasons aren’t known obviously. My gut tells me incompetence/apathy from government agencies. That’s not a very cinematic or compelling answer, though, and I think a lot of people look for more interesting narratives.

Whenever a big tragedy like 9/11 happens, people tend to try and look for the Chekhov’s gun that shows a deeper meaning or dramatic orchestration. That’s just not real life though.

Had a Galaxy S8 and loved it. Got a Pixel 6 and now the slow fingerprint sensor is the bane of my existence. Why did they put it on the front? Why is that the standard now? It sucks, it’s just slower and less ergonomic.

Showdown is the most tilting game on earth to me. Worse than League, even.

I’m 25 and I say rizz all the time

Steam has an effective monopoly on open, marketplace-style launchers. EGS is their only real competitor and everyone hates it. GOG is years behind the curve and Amazon’s launcher barely exists. At this point in time, Steam is hardly considered third-party since it’s so ubiquitous.

In the US we have Insomnia Cookies, who deliver until 3am. Pretty much just desserts but still, baked goods lol.
