VW Is Putting Buttons Back in Cars Because People Complained Enough

Reply in thread

Easy, because regulations don’t mean anything anymore.

Headlights that blind you in the day and literally block all vision of the road at night, road legal trucks which bumpers that START at the hood of my car, all around limo tints on literally every car, people disabling their rear lights for some idiotic reason…

And that doesn’t even begin to mention the drivers themselves, so fucking self absorbed, tailgating, cutting you off for fun to get to the same light.

I’ve literally had a stream of cars going around me on street roads and so many dumbasses just follow the stream that I literally cannot safety accelerate because they’re all cutting me off bumper to bumper.

You should start carrying a gun if not already. The conservatives have successfully rotted western society.

Pick your poison. Dystopian style

No Uber driver ever scammed me into paying double fare or refusing credit cards.

Uber is objectively a cancer upon society. They should legally employ their drives and pay a fair wage with prices to match.

All I’m saying is, it takes a real shitty industry for Uber to still be the better option. Every “innovation” in the picture is a complete joke and should never be used even for practical purposes, except Uber…

Starfield is now mostly negative in recent reviews

Reply in thread

You should have seen the fucking starfield subreddit before release lmao. One guy on there was genuinely convinced this was “something special” and would revolutionize the gaming industry.

The basis for that claim? The way Todd fucking Howard was acting, and the marketing material for the game.

DeckHD - A Wonderful Screen Upgrade for your Steam Deck

I feel like this is a bit of a reach, as the point of the low resolution screen was to maximize performance while maintaining acceptable pixel density for the size. A 50% hit is nothing to sneeze at!

However I’m glad it works and more power to the modders and Valve for making such an accessible system. This thing has rekindled gaming for me and I’m looking forward to picking up the SD2 in a few years.

Reddit Falls Short of Ad Growth Targets Ahead of Likely 2024 IPO

Reply in thread

They really leaned hard into the fraud strategy, hoping to IPO in 2023 and run with the money.

It got to the point where the entire front page was just bots reposting the greatest hits, with the comments section literally being bots reposting comments from the first time it was posted. There were entire comment chains of bots just having reposted conversations with each other.

The release of LLM APIs was the last straw, now even the conservatives are jumping ship because it was just a bunch of fascist liars lying to each other. And if there is one thing conservatives hate, it’s being around other conservatives.

Before It Was Carved

Reply in thread

The lazy and religious(insane) project manager didn’t even bother to clean up the rubble.

Like, they just left a giant pile of rocks right under the faces, it’s incredibly ugly and the pictures conveniently leave it just out of the frame.

It’s still there lol

He's ready for anything

Yes, boomer humor tends to be unfunny when you consider the real fact that the US is one year away from having open genocide of minorities and other “undesirables.”

Having to live armed every day because fascist shitbags are openly trying to kill you tends to suck the fun out of parties.
