My mother keeps spending 11 hours a day in Facebook and then sending me random shit from it.

Everyone always tries to pinpoint when Facebook got terrible. I was there for it. I remember it. While it happened over time the instant it was uncool and lame was when the first parent signed up.

The moment it was over for me was when my mother sent me a friend request.

I thought we all decided by the transitive property that we could complain about both and it would somehow both mean fuck reddit

Interesting, everyone I’ve heard talk about it who has seen it says it was god awful and an insult to the original premise.

People never cease to amaze me how they’ll happy absorb whatever corporations give to them

There are piles and piles of older TV shows and movies, so much media you could never consume it all in a lifetime

Ironically, no. I’m saying your grandma sounds like that person who would call in the bins.

I’m saying that your scenario of the bins is the same as the bus stop. Just deal with it, ignore it, and live peacefully. It’s a molehill she made a mountain out of.

Ah but I have strict religious upbringing, so I can help out with that!

You see, God is the alpha and Omega, and thus lives outside of time. It’s why the earth only being built in 7 days is okay because 7 days to us could mean something different to God. (Why did they bother to say days in the Bible? Who knows!)

Since they are outside of time, then Jesus being born may have happened in the future, but to God he always was.

Then we get into the whole holy Trinity where they all are god but also not each other, and then you can justify anything.

That’s what they crammed into my brain when I was a kid instead of science.

As long as they offer DRM free games I’ll buy. No sense worrying now about something that may not come to pass. They’re still a massive underdog who have seen epic and ea fail at stores, and they know their edge is DRM free

As soon as they give up DRM free I’ll stop giving them money

For everyone here, this is true, and I’d recommend buying a couple drives for quick replacements. If you don’t you’re gambling that 1) a replacement drive will be available and 2) that it will be affordable.

Keep a few spares lying around while we get through the ebbs and flows of the market. As K said, a person is smart, people are dumb and panicky. If ssd and storage prices rise, people panic and our hdds will rise too.

Prep now and thank yourself later.

Hold on, you never said residents. If this was a neighborhood-wide push then I would be open to it. The neighborhood may have a good reason to say bus stop should be here or there, if there were many home owners asking for a change then that is something I would agree with. Maybe there’s a coffee shop a block away that more people congregate at and it would be better used there, maybe people don’t want to j-walk to catch their bus. Those are reasons that make it worth changing - for the good of the public and the neighborhood.

However, if it was one house then as I’ve said and stand by, I view it as selfishness. I see it as one person dictating how many others can or can not go about their time on public property, and trying to dictate to the city where they can or cannot put public services on their own land. I don’t care if it was 70 feet or 700 feet, it’s one person with a minor, tiny, insignificant change. I said this elsewhere and I stand by it:

They didn’t want to see them out their window? Deal with it. You want privacy? Close the curtains or pay to put up a fence. Someone is loud? They’re there for 20 minutes max until the next bus. Or what is most likely from the photo - they probably wanted a parking space there. I don’t see any reason to push to move it that wasn’t selfish.

The best reason I heard is that maybe it was an issue with how loud the bus was, that one may have credence. However, pushing it closer to the neighbor doesn’t seem like a solution, and it seems like it should be a neighborhood discussion.

I’ll say the noise factor is the first reason that I’ve heard could be a legitimate issue for the person living there, I appreciate that reason. If that was the case, then I would back it, but also I live ~1 block from the bus stop and I can hear the air brakes from my house through walls, so I would think they are pushing it to their neighbor’s house instead of talking about the actual problem with the city.

I see there’s still a pro version though, that’s how Insomnia started and features have slowly been leeching to “pro only”, is that a worry with this one?

because to me it’s pure NIMBY-ism. Maybe it’s because I’m a city guy, who is used to whatever going on around my home, but it’s just a weird thing from my perspective to get upset about. I personally just don’t see anything that’s worth going to city council and complain about. To me I see a bus stop which from the image below looks like it’s a very suburban street so we’re talking a few dozen people a day, max. Whatever the reasons were in my opinion were selfish. They didn’t want to see them out their window? Deal with it. You want privacy? Close the curtains. Someone is loud? They’re there for 20 minutes max until the next bus. Or what is most likely from the photo - they probably wanted a parking space there. I don’t see any reason to push to move it that wasn’t selfish.

It’s the city’s property. It’s on the city’s sidewalk, it’s for the city bus, and street parking is public funds for private vehicles. It’s theirs to do with as they will. The homeowner has rights up to the edge of the property. The city has a duty to provide ingress and utilities to that property. To me it’s the definition of Karen-ing.

People disagree with me. Fine, but I’m holding my ground. I call it selfish. Yeah it’s 70 feet, but it all in my mind is “The city must change their plan and their property for my convenience”

Netflix is so efficient they can cancel things now before they’re even made

Lazy engineers who don’t review AI generated code so far are keeping me employed. I ship so many bugfixes

Wow, a true Lemmy wooosh moment. I think you missed the point of, well, the movie

Same, read that and thought “oh sweet I can see Dune”

Oh it’s no secret, studios saw the cultural phenomenon of barbenheimer and now try to manufacture it for profit. They did the same with wicked last year with some other flop of a movie. They’re actively trying to make it happen again, trying to seem young and hip.

Feel you brother.

Bruno looks almost exactly the same! Thank you!

This looks really nice! Thank you!
