6 dudes at once!

Lot of people in my town with “party plates”. Yellow plate with red letters to signal to cops that you are a frequent DUI fiend. No clue how youend up with those instead of just having your license revoked

Still meet plenty of people who drink beer in the car

It’s a company that has taken in hundreds if millions of dollars for something that they know will never materialize into an actual game.

We had a really confident businessman come into my rural college town 6 years ago with a big development plan that was going to revolutionize the downtown. He graduated from the local college 20 years ago and was supposedly some hot shot businessman in Miami now. He brought in all these local investors, signed agreements to purchase the land once the city gave him approval and grants, “purchased” a house and some other properties that were going to go along. He took up several city council meetings wherre he brought in his big design plans, feasibility studies, and everything else. But everytime he had to show he had the funds to get approval for development,he hemmed and hawwed and asked for an extension.

It turns out, he had made a similar pitch to quite a few other small towns. The house he “purchased” he actually was just renting, and then sub-renting it out while he was “out of town on business”. He didn’t put any of his own money in, relying instead in local businesses and landowners who signed him onto their deeds or gave him right to first refusal on their deliapadated properties. His 'feasibility studies" all came from a firm no one could find any actual information about. Fortunately no one really lost anything beyond a lot of time and legal fees backing out if his bad faith contracts, but it’s established that the “developer” was really just a conman trying to grift the town. A scam.

Star Citizen is no different than any of the metaverse crypto scams from 4 years ago, it’s just a bit more polished and at a grander scale. If you think that $800 million to develop a half-backed game that doesn’t deliver on any of it’s fundamental promoses isn’t a scam, then i would love to pitch my riverfront development project to you when you have the time.

It’s ok to admit you bought into a scam…

What models are youseeing where things are 99% correct? Google’s search chat bot can’t even keep Windows vs Mac hotkey commands straight.

So then what’s the use of the program if it uses a bunch of energy to just make shit up?

Look out!

Why would New York cops go after their own like that?

If i let my friend keep stolen property at my house, i am aiding a criminal. Why is Amazon exempt from consequences when someone they take a cut from a sale they allowed someone to make on their website?

Supposedly Musk and Grimes started dating because they are both way into Roko’s Basilisk. So of course Musk is trying to actively create such a threat.

My uncle’s outback looks like a video slot machine, and everything had to be done through the touchscreen. But to add insult to injury, the Subaru touchscreens are super slow and unresponsive, so they feel like they aren’t working.

I was having a beer before my shift as a server at a restaurant. I ran into this guy i kinda know because his graphic design/print shop is ran out of the house my grest-grandpa grew up in. He asked how i was doing and what i was up to, and i told him i was having a quick drink before work. He told me if i ever needed a job i should let him know. The restaurant industry is slow right now, and this wasn’t the first time someone offered me a job when i told them i was having a drink before work at this restaurant, so i decided to take him up on he offer, even though i had zero experience with graphic design or printing.

Oh joy. I already have to deal with printing crap people didn’t know how to make properly in Publisher or Canva. I’m super pumped to get emailed an excel file and asked if i can print off as a business card

I have given up on pronouncing it. Whatever i say i get corrected.

Here we sometimes call them Kennedys. On account of the red goo spilling out the hole in the side.

Your spending that much on a used phone? I can’t phantom paying more than $600 for one

It’s a mix. The heating is out on my apartment, so it’s currently 55 degrees in here, and i have no clue when the furnace will be fixed. My kitties don’t seem to mind, but it’s definitely feeling frigid. On the plus side, i sign a lease for a new apartment walking distance from my job on Friday, so won’t be a problem for long. I had to get an advance on my pay, but it will be worth it to be able to walk to work everyday. Financially i am fucked, but that’s been no different for the past year, so I’ll just have to accept that

Under no circumstances should you puncture the container. It’s still a pressure vessel with flammable gas in it and will explode if you try.

It’s been about a week straight of <20F in my corner of Ohio and i am honestly loving it. I work “downtown” in a cute rural college town and love bundling up in my coat, scarf, and Walleyes hat to get lunch. Midwesterners are just tougher i guess. That’s why we won the civil war
