I'm continually astonished how I thought grunt-work IT jobs would fade away as my generation and younger aged into the workforce becoming ever more technologically literate. Then the iPhone my rich friends bought in highschool became the new standard for interfaces.

Now I'm helping people several years younger and much older than me navigate the machines they use for their jobs.

This is fantastically stupid, I want some more.

The Onion has been in rare form recently

Yeah but if you were in this position would really want to contribute again? It's virtually an indefinite ban when the reason is this absurd.

Every movie essentially involves the supernatural to some extent.

"Immigration" has never been under threat from any party. Donors on both sides need immigration to continue. The difference is one party generally likes to keep immigrants in exceptionally precarious conditions to coerce them to accept low wages. The other party makes token changes that appear raise the immigrant standard of living to something approximating the lower class with limited efficacy.

This also has the bonus of entirely obliterating the meaning.

All this because Capcom heard that a Street Fighter tournament participant was using a nude mod for Chun-Li. Just blacklist him and move on, let me keep my flashlight lasers on dropped materials in MH:W please.

A perfect 5/7

It's astounding that modern management is all just metrics. Here are your target numbers, we don't know how you will hit them and it's easier for us if we don't know; if you can't hit your targets we will fire you for underperforming and will do the same until we hire our divine sociopath that will achieve our metrics by any means necessary.

Interesting that nearly all the press in the thumbnail are holding phones. Or maybe I've just never seen people surrounded by press this decade.

Yes if your solution is to throw literal children at the problem you should quit while you're ahead.

It's amusing to me that Japan is somewhat of a forecast to economic crises and social obstacles for much of the world. They were grappling with sub-prime lending fiascos before it was generalized to the rest of the world too

What many democracies around the world are missing is greater recallability in offices. Citizens need to be able to easily oust people nonviolently.

An acquaintance of mine was cursed with [email protected] because his first and middle initials were B.E.

Meanwhile Gaben said he fell in love with New Zealand while he was stranded there during the pandemic. Shame he couldn't confuse the two.

PBS is actually better than ever and I prefer it over most of what gets shoved in my face on my PC.

Literally all they have to do is beat nvidia by one GB of VRAM on any card and people will go nuts. Nvidia is so afraid of making another 1080ti that even their 4090 gets like 2 less frames in Fortnite at 1080p.

It's infuriating to me that only Steam and EA's stores have gifting built in. Most of my games budget goes to buying small-squad multiplayer games like Deep Rock Galactic and Sea of Thieves for people.

Sure you can buy a key anywhere but I love seeing at a glance that an acquaintance has a particular DLC or game to surprise them rather than asking them first. And then there's a small chance they thank you for the key and pass it on to someone else instead of just telling you they don't like game, while Steam has a handy decline button.

Which is the delusion that the US's traffic engineers based all of their decisions on 60 years ago.
