That's the biggest mjndfuck for me.

In the 90s and 2000s, people made fun of me for constantly being on the computer whenever possible. Now those same people are completely hooked on their pocket computers and now I'm the one making fun of them.

I don't know how we got to this point, but all I know is that Steve Jobs is mostly to blame. The iPhone changed everything and now nobody knows how to interact with each other anymore, which is especially frustrating when trying to get assistance from anyone for anything. Even the simple process of returning a product to a store is now a lot more frustrating than it used to be, because the person running customer service absolutely refuses to interact with the customer.

Yeah I feel like all these AI detectives are only helping train AI to be more realistic to the point where none of us will be able to distinguish AI from reality within 2-3 years. (As a Millennial, I'm already beginning to struggle with it enough as-is.) Every single flaw they point out is another piece of training data.

This app also got silently installed on my device, but I just updated YouTube Morphe and there was no issue. So for now the app doesn't appear to do anything. I disabled it and will be uninstalling with ADB soon.

When The Pirate Bay launched in 2003, I went full piracy then and never looked back.

From an outsider's perspective, it's like watching a wild roller-coaster ride from the sidelines. Never understood all the Netflix hype when they first launched their streaming service. Tried it once in the early 2010s and was beyond disappointed; the vast majority of of content I wanted to watch was not on there (and still isn't).

These days I use Stremio paired with Torrentio and a Debrid service. Instant streams to anything I could ever want to watch, and it's all there in one place. IDK why people would pay for multiple streaming services when you can just have one.

You can't without ADB but you can disable it.

All major LLMs have had citation ability for while now. Any time I ask one a question I can't find the answer to, if it's not providing a source, I automatically assume the output is slop. And even then, you still have to be wary, because it will often make something up then cite a semi-related source that doesn't actually contain its claims.

The map is the biggest disappointment. Just like in GTA V, there's next to no reason to visit the upper ⅔rds of the map. I was expecting at least a proper panhandle with some typical southern towns scattered about, not just a 1.5x scaled up version of what we've already been stuck playing for the past 13 years.

Edit: No Orlando, either. I was really excited to see Rockstar's take on Disney World... They were probably afraid of getting sued. :(

YouTube Morphe for Android has an option to filter out AI videos (along with ads and sponsored segments too, of course).

My bad

I mean as someone who has worked 20 years in the service industry, I get that, but I can handle a Karen in person because I can be big, loud, and intimidating enough until they go away. Unfortunately you can't punch someone through the phone, and that's where my anxiety over phone calls comes from. People are so much worse to you when there's no chance they could get punched in the mouth.

Other than the lack of Free Mode activities, GTA Online was a ton of fun on consoles in the early days (it peaked around the time Sumo came out IMO), but I'm willing to bet it will flop immediately in GTA 6, given how much more monetized it's going to be this time around. I mean it flopped almost instantly on PC with half the monetization, and I don't have a console now, so I have to wait for it to come to PC and hope for the best.

The only possible saving grace is the fact that the FiveM devs are involved. But I'm not going to hold my breath. They'll probably monetize those servers too.

(Also I still prefer GTA IV's multiplayer to both GTA Online and FiveM. Cops and Crooks and that game's version of GTA Race were some of the most fun I've ever had in a video game! V nerfed GTA Race so much that they sucked all the fun out of it.)

Similar situation happened with my girlfriend. Her parents did nothing for her, while mine did everything for me. She's younger than me but I still rely on her to take care of certain adult tasks, like scheduling appointments and making phone calls. I have too much anxiety to do it on my own. One time I got a job at a call center to get over my fear of phone calls, and the only thing that did was make it worse. People are so much more rude when they can't see your face!

Yeah I really hated when they introduced that feature. People would always say to me, "wHy ArEn'T i In yOuR tOp 8?" Drove me crazy.

Now people don't say anything at all because I'm 37 and don't have friends anymore.

I went to BDubs the other night just to try Jammin' Jalapeño because of your comment. I see why you like it; it's very similar to Mango Habanero. So similar, in fact, that to me it tastes just like mango habanero, except without the mango. It's not bad but too similar for me. So I think I'll stick with Caribbean Jerk as my second half and half option (or Parm Garlic). But thanks for introducing it to me.

Why is the FDA getting involved with the business of a European grocery chain? We don't have Publix in the US as far as I'm aware.

Great, now do the much better N64 Bond that no one talks about: The World is Not Enough. It improved upon Goldeneye in every conceivable way, yet no one cares about it because no one played it... :(

For anyone who's doesn't remember the original post: this was a joke. OP was having their porch replaced and decided to use the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.

You could probably get a replacement even if the jar is completely empty. I used to work customer service in a grocery store. One time a guy returned an empty wine bottle. I gave him a full refund. Why? Because the company steals from their employees every single day. I'm just evening the playing field a bit. Just don't be an asshole, and you'll probably get what you want.

This is why the internet sucks now. Nobody maintains their own websites anymore. These days everybody just posts everything on the same handful of centralized megacorp websites. Social media killed the golden age of the web.
