It’s utter rubbish. Just look at how cats react to unfamiliar humans compared to unfamiliar cats. They know the difference.

Read the room.

Worthless propaganda piece.

Not one mention of the right-wing pro-austerity government slashing spending everywhere it can.

Wellington is pessimistic

Gee, could it be something to do with the ongoing loss of thousands of professional jobs, and the ever-present loss of thousands more?

No it wasn’t. And we don’t need to imitate every aspect of Reddit here.

Aww, did Spez trade the family cow for some “magic” beans?

Good luck rebuilding the farm now, buddy.

My work machine is W11 and has options to change it. Not one of those stupid ‘home’ vs ‘pro’ version things is it?

They used to have that as a filter. Although for a long while you could pick short (<4 mins) or long (>20 mins) but not medium length videos.

This, too, was a sign they had no fucking idea what they were doing.

Nope, I’ve seen it myself. Cannot imagine a more useless feature.

Some older online games have pretty good latency tolerance because they were built in an era before broadband was widely available.

Vanilla World of Warcraft, for example, has a ‘spell batching’ mechanic that helps to equalise things somewhat. You’ll need to play on a private server though because Blizz changed spell batching in Classic.

For web browsing? No.

Everyone knows what their end game really is.

Personally I’d rather supermarkets charged more reasonable prices for groceries.

Well, with their track record…

ADHD is definitely a possibility. I have it and can relate to those issues. However stress, anxiety and fatigue can also cause problems like this without there being an underlying condition like ADHD. Definitely agree on seeking professional help though, if that’s possible.

For a while there I thought “moved to Belarus” was going to become the new “fell from a window”, but I guess they’ve decided to stick with tradition.

The whole point is to ‘normalise’ all the issues with Trump’s presidency so that the public just sees impeachment etc as a normal political process rather than a sign of something being seriously wrong.

I miss mid-90s IRC. That was far more social than any ‘social’ media I’ve experienced since.

In my experience, influencers are people who:

• destroy natural monuments and works of art for attention
• play cruel pranks on others for attention
• present a completely false image of themselves and their lives
• constantly demand special treatment while offering nothing in return

And about a million other things I can’t think of right now.

In short, they’re among the most awful people around. You really don’t need a more insulting term.

That’s commerce, not capitalism.

I wouldn’t object to paying if:

1. Their pricing was more reasonable
2. A fairer cut went to content creators
3. They had something that actually qualified as a search function on their site
4. They weren’t trying to bully everyone into paying
