People who were fired on their first day at work/saw somebody get fired their first day at work: What happened that led to the firing?
I have a couple from the a warehouse job I worked at when I was 16. That place was wild lmao
These weren't on their first day, but I thought they are worth mentioning
That's all the entertaining ones I can think of right now lol

What is the most wholesome moment you've ever encountered?
A few years back, I was going through a really tough time. It was a pretty dark phase for me tbh.
During one of those nights, I headed over to my then-girlfriend's house. We were just hanging out when I decided to take a shower. A couple minutes later she joined me, and we ended up standing there together under the warm water for a while lol. She noticed I was pretty down and offered to wash my hair. So, I sat in the bathtub while she gently washed my hair, and that simple, caring gesture somehow made my life 100x better. It made me feel like I was loved and there was someone helping me keep going.
She ended up cheating, but that's another story lol

What games can you not get into because they feel too outdated?

Reminds of me of when I watched 2001: A Space Odyssey and was confused because I had heard great things about the soundtrack, but it was just a bunch of songs I had heard before.
About halfway through the movie I realized that it was an original soundtrack and it was so influential that it became a cliche. 2001: A Space Odyssey was a cliche, not because it followed a saturated trend, but because it itself was copied by everyone else.
AC1's concept and maybe even story has held up, but you're right that the later entries feel miles better.

I has come to my attention that some users have never heard of F-droid. F-droid is a free software app store for android
I know this thread is already a little old, but here is the list of my favorite apps from F-Droid/Izzy. I use a lot of these almost daily and just thought I would share these in case someone might find a new app they find useful

What is your boomer opinion
I believe physical books are better than e books.
However, physical work documents are not better than PDFs! Why the hell do boomers print so damn much?

New Linux user here. Is this really how I'm supposed to install apps on Linux?
The same MFs on here that rush to tell someone that Linux is easy and intuitive are the same ones that can't keep a small talk conversation for more than 5 mins, a social activity that humans have been doing for thousands of years.
My words might be a little broad, harsh, and even hurtful, but just a reminder that not all of us are good at learning the same things.
We didn't all come out of the womb knowing how to socialize or use Linux, but if we look back far enough, we can all relate to the struggles it takes to learn something new, and how much it sucks when someone treats you like you're stupid just because things sometimes don't click

I don't think it's just zoomers. One of the most annoying things that older generations do is quote movies and old commercials for no reason. Don't forget "whassuuuuuuuuuup"
I've had countless millennials quote star wars, mean girls, napoleon dynamite, the godfather, and you don't even want to know how many shitty joker impressions i've heard.
I think it's just a human thing to do and if you weren't there, it's kinda cringe and not funny.
That being said, I always found the reddit comments annoying asf lmao

Sarah Silverman Sues Maker Of ChatGPT For Copyright Infringement
Reply in thread
Can the sources where ChatGPT got it's information from be traced? What if it got the information from other summaries?
I think the hardest thing for these companies will be validating the information their AI is using. I can see an encyclopedia-like industry popping up over the next couple years.
Btw I know very little about this topic but I find it fascinating

What's a giveaway or tell that someone may be *too* online?
I noticed that a lot of my friends who are really online think that everyone will always agree with them.
My theory is that this happens because they are used to their algorithm only showing them content/comments of things they agree with and since that makes the bulk of interactions with other people, they think everyone is like that.
Also dehumanizing people who they aren't politically aligned with. I think that people who "touch grass" more often, deal with people all over the political spectrum so they can separate the human side from the politics side.
These are just my theories btw I don't have evidence aside from my anecdotes. A sample pool of like 10 people lol so clearly not enough

Those who tried Linux and went back to Windows, what caused you to go back to Windows?
I tried installing Zorin amd Pop_OS on my laptop, but the mousepad gestures, bluetooth, speakers, and a bunch of other small things didn't work.
I just don't have the time to tinker with it. I have an hour or two of free time a day and it's hard to convince myself to spend it trying to get linux to work whenever I have windows that just works.
Plus, i found that people just weren't helpful. Unlike some people, i didn't come out of the womb knowing how linux works. I did research and fixed what i could, but some things i could't fix. People were rude, condesending, and just not helpful whenever i would ask a question
Just not worth it for me at this moment

What stance are you entrenched in today that might be a social issue in the future?
Reply in thread
I agree, and I wonder when stuff like this will begin to happen.
Also, I think that once the average person finds out just how smart aquatic life is, we will look back at stuff like sea world with more disgust than we already do.

How many of you are using ChatGpt to help you with your work, and not telling your boss/co-workers?
My supervisor uses ChatGPT to write emails to higher ups and it's kinda embarrassing lol. One email he's not even capitalizing or spell checking, and the next he has these emails are are over explaining simple things and are half irrelevant.
I've used it a couple times when I can't fully put into words that I'm trying to say, but I use it more for inspiration than anything. I've also used it once or twice in my personal life for translating.

PC Engine (TG16) games are so colourful! I wish more modern games use bright colours like they used to do.
Question that might sound dumb.
Were they actually this vibrant back then or were they made more vibrant to make up for limitations of a CRT?

PlayStation's CEO drastically underestimates the Steam crowd's patience, thinks PC gamers will buy a PS5 for exclusive sequels
Reply in thread
This is just my theory, but with the price of game development increasing so rapidly, I think it's getting harder for the impatient to cover the development costs and make a profit off shitty games, unless the game has a huge following. Games like COD, Diablo, Star Wars, etc.
For games without that following, I think they are definitely being punished for their bad practices. Like Gotham Knights, Red Fall, Saints Row, etc. Games that cost so much that they have potential to shut down studios
