This was my economics course. The professor would come in, play the textbook manufacturer provided PowerPoint on the screen, and read the slides word for word with little to no elaboration. It was the most boring course I had ever taken.

Had perfect attendance and got 55% on my midterm.

Gave up, skipped almost all of my classes to instead just sit in the library and study on my own.

Got about 87% on my final exam.

Mandatory attendance is stupid, if you can pass the course you can pass the course.

I’ve driven around air side at an airport a couple of times, it’s not always immediately obvious if there’s a plane landing even during the day, especially If you aren’t particularly familiar with aircraft, even during the day.

This was at night, the driver was given the all clear, and there was an emergency they needed to get to quickly. So even if the driver looked to see if it were clear, being dark, all he would see is a bunch of lights in the sky. It would have needed more than a quick glance to see if the lights were of a landing plane or a plane that was just taking off, or even lights from a plane at all.

I literally feel this as more of a feature than a bug.

Can we please keep it?

Any updates on the legal side of things? Didn’t Nintendo officially open up a lawsuit not too long ago?

If only there was a communal source of assets that people and companies can contribute to and pull from. If something doesn’t quite fit your game you could instead spend 10 hours editing and adjusting a premade model instead of 40 hours making it from scratch. Then upload the new model for someone else to start with later.

I don’t think they care if it’s gambling or not.

They are trying to make the point that they shouldn’t be targetted if other obvious known sources of illegal gambling are being actively ignored.

Either they need to go after everyone or no one. Since going after everyone is probably unlikely, targeting Valve for it would be unfair and may be dismissed.

Is that the new saying? Just replaced the word shit with Trump wherever you can?

I can get behind that Trump.

Wait, no it only works if shit has a negative connotation. The economy has Trumped the bed.

Our work uses laptops and it’s already a pain in the ass with Microsoft office being subscription based cause they are often in areas with no internet or cell reception then bam, “please login”

Fuck!

Can I get it in red?

Same story here.

Loved Netflix at first. I used to pirate a lot of tb shows and movies and then completely stopped once Netflix became decent.

Then they turned to shit and I’m back to pirating.

But not only that, I’m actually PAYING to pirate content because its a service that just combines all content from Netflix, Disney, apple, etc into one singular app that you can stream from any android device with the app.

It can have pretty shit quality sometimes, but at least I can watch it.

I will pay for shit if it’s easy access.

Fuck Netflix, Amazon, apple, Disney, etc. greedy fucks.

What if you have no social media?

I deleted it all over five years ago, Reddit almost 3 years ago.

Other than Lemmy that is. That’s all I got if that counts as social media.

I feel like they wouldn’t believe me though and deny me. How do you prove you don’t have something?

Invest in Apple

What’s with the title?

Am I the only one seeing that it appears everyone looks to have been given a hat?

The Fifa president seems to be the only one to have actually put it on though.

Fucking tacky as fuck, typical Trump

Depending on the building code / age of house it may or may not be on an individual circuit.

I think newer homes don’t so there’s one less point of failure that can prevent them for going off in a fire. I could be wrong though.

I am a right cabinet person forced to have a left cabinet because I am too poor to throw away perfectly good mugs and usable glasses just to have a matching set.

Man my work computer has 64gb ddr5 and I’m almost tempted take half out and scalp it 😂

Although I wouldn’t be surprised if you sold your grandfathered Tesla that it cancels the lifetime FSD and therefore brings your resale down despite probably paying more upfront

I’m actually re-reading this comment kind of drunk and feel like my typo just came up with the perfect gener neutral term of “hem”

I don’t think it’s necessarily the text books that are the issue but rather the physical act of writing your own notes.

I think it’s that now people type all their notes into a laptop rather than write it down.

Yes, I am never buying a Tide product again since it seems they were the only ones to pay Amazon for ads. I was trying to watch a show that I was having difficulty pirating and every damn ad was either for tide or bounty for some damn reason so never buying anything from them again since I had to see like 30 of those ads repeatedly. I usually muted the tv and just browsed my phone but for that first second the ad played I could tell it was for one of them.
