Xbox wants you to pay 24 to 40 cents per hour to stream games you already bought: Time-based a la carte charges come on top of the purchase price for the games themselves.

https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/07/23/game-streaming-ad-supported-xbox-insiders/

Today, we’re starting to test an ad-supported way to stream select games from your library for a limited time, available to XBOX Insiders.

During this test period, XBOX Insiders with an XBOX account will be able to stream games they own for free with ads. Players will have one hour session limits across supported devices and regions.

Here’s what you can expect:

  1. Ads will play before sessions begin.

  2. The core game experience is unchanged.

  3. This is optional. Players can choose other ways to play at any time.

Their righteous rioters our filthy looters

This country (the us) is a shit show forum that no one knows how to navigate and there's so many causes that are around that no one can pick the ones that mean the most and work their way down.

Also, too much shit goes down. It doesn't take much to be a freakin' martyr for a cause these days and to be a martyr for a cause these days is to be an influencer that got their account suspended, it doesn't mean anything anymore.

Nothing has any actual meaning anymore.

Ban cars from populated areas

Reply in thread

People can't afford to own a car, that's why. It's not just public transportation infrastructure being fucked.

People can't find used cars because everyone wants a car that'll last a long time but then the job market is shit and people get high aprs and then ruin their credit, it's a lot of shit to get a car but people fuck themselves so hard buying one because they don't know how to navigate the financial aspect. ..... That's at least how I see it.

You also gotta make compromises with what you want vs what you can afford.

Too many people with bad credit bitch about high aprs that lock them down. I feel like if we had a better understanding of the financial demographics they're basing the research off of, we'd know who's not driving because they can't afford it vs lack of infrastructure by state.

HelloFresh Workers Allege They Were Forced to Urinate on Themselves After Being Denied Bathroom Breaks

80%-90% markup ordering groceries making cheaper places like Aldi and market basket the same prices as stop and shop before the recession by the time you check out.

That's a huge leap between affordable and saving money and biting the bullet and paying 30$-40$ more for a whole grocery trip.

Another reason why cars aren't so bad because of you don't have one the markup of ordering groceries is gonna make you wish you had one and it'll drive you mad.

Ban cars from populated areas

Reply in thread

Well once there's a glut of cars they'll either shoot the price down and tell nobody, rich private sellers will scalp the cheap glut or they'll pull 👇

Intentionally seized (literally, destroying perfectly running vehicles) engines to get them off the road. Near a quarter million perfectly running driving cars were intentionally destroyed.

again and then we can all start complaining about public transportation twice as hard, with no results on our end but more profits on theirs......

Edit: holy shit they'll destroy the for insurance money if they're able to or they'll sell them back to their manufacturers and lose contracts potentially going out of business but it's more like the glut not being advertised is where it gets fucked and we need to put limits on how many vehicles someone can own. Rich people buying cars and selling them at scalping prices happens.

It's frivolous when you're buying a car to buy a car. When you're pissing away money just to do it. When you need a car for life purposes, it's not frivolous.

You can absolutely tell someone to fuck off if they don't like you for how much you spend on a vehicle. 😏 Anyone can.

Mozilla Is Calling Out Microsoft for Forcing Edge on Users, and It's Absolutely Right

Because giving the user any choice is bad for business. They removed the coding to move your start menu and it took years for them to even contemplate putting it back in which they didn't.

Microsoft has windows 10 iso available for download, I installed it with my wifi card pulled out of my computer, no internet access given, it still installed windows dogshit (11).

They want to force any and all to use it.

A retired Penn professor has been blocking Uber Eats robots for months. This week, she got arrested for it

Steal one and inject a virus into it and then make it run into a wall a bunch of times, ensuring the complete destruction of the device.. 😜 Call the nearest news outlet and claim that the robot was suicidal-homicidal and was trying to smash you and it into a wall and wait for a news report. The robots get pushed back by skepticism of safety towards humans.

Skinny Rules Are Comfy

You know what I can't tell with what anyone means by, "baggy." Though, I think that's the autism. Like do they mean one size up? Like what's the criteria for, "baggy?". Skinny jeans, I think slim fit jeans but I like relaxed fit jeans more than anything. Slim fit jeans are job interview pants or like first week on the job pants.

Then again, I've never liked skinny jeans or slim fit, makes me feel like I'm squished, like a sausage. I like the little bit of give.
