This statement is something that I dont understand. While yeah, if that would happen to a big store, it might be alright but if I ran a corner store, I wouldnt be okay with this.

Also people who steal food here are gypsies and narcs. Normal people with financial difficulties get their goods from government, food shelters, churches and other help associations.

Now, I've been fucking dirt poor, I've gone sleep hungry, I've had to walk to every place instead of taking public transit. Still I've never thought about stealing food.

I have entered the US around 10x/year and haven't being searched (I'm not saying it doesn't happen, tho), I've visited china multiple times last years and not been asked to install anything, either. Haven't heard about that app install requirement before, any articles about it?

Literally what's wrong with you? How dense can one carrot be?

Thing is, I make more than ever, but yet due to increased (mostly) energy costs, I can afford nothing.

Few years ago I was able to eat a few times a week out, but nowadays I eat at most a few times a month. Base price for döner was 6-7 euros, now they are starting off 12 euros. However my salary has not doubled. Lately, I usually just pick up take away food for the kids, not for us parents.

I was able to upgrade my phone once a year or two, now I've been using the same phone (even with screen cracked) for 3,5 years.

Best thing last, I'm a co-founder for a fabrication company. We aren't turning profit because everything is expensive. Our costs have doubled, and salary costs gone up 75%. It would be easier to just run the business down nowadays than struggle.

I think one of the reasons is that US is now demanding shippers pay the tariffs, which is unheard of and no shipping company has mechanisms to achieve this.

I think I'm gonna buy this second hand this time.

I've always bought valve HW new and even preordered most of them, but in the current financial climate, I think I'm gonna wait a bit.

I do have a wifi7 access point already wired with this in mind, though.

Gnome2 was the pinnacle of desktop environments. Simple, clean, fast, lean, light. Works with mouse and keyboard.

Gnome fucked it all up and I cant hate them enough for it. After that they've just continuously pissed on users' feet and removed features after features.

Oh why I dont use gnome2 forks and derivatives? Well I have for 15 years. But they simply do not have the momentum of being the single best DE, which gnome2 likely would've been. We would not have thousands of DEs if gnome wouldnt fucked up with gnome shell.

Yeah I use kde nowadays more than mate.

Nice.

I was paying for a family subscription for a major audiobook provider for a while. That changed after I used a 3rd party app to listen to their audiobooks and apparently broke their eula, and they were threatening to sue me and my 7 year old kid for it. Kinda killed the spirit to pay for their service.

I really like JF.

My biggest issue with it is that subtitles appear to be messed up timing wise upon continuing playback and its impossible to reset.

But other than that, I like it a lot. Thanks JF team!

Nice, now remove the cancer from the games and I'll consider buying 'em

I can fix her

I have the inner cam covered on my tesla, no probs so far (been like that for 4 years)

I used to work (well still do, occasionally) at an engineering workshop, and many of those who worked in production, returned back to school, studied a few years and applied back for the office job.

And those are great employees, they usually know their shit and appreciate the office work, still understanding whats it like at the production side.

I have a house and continuously wish I havent bought it and just lived in a condo.

Lets say if I paid 500k for it, and have fixed it for $250k so far. I'm not getting that money back, ever. This house might be worth maybe $50k more at most.

Still kitchen and two bathroons to be renovated, and the whole house to be painted, and roof to be fixed, and I dont have the time nor money to do those. 2020s suck, I wish I was born 40 years ago.

Yeah, this happens a lot in the US. Like "it's only a few km's walk to the store, so I'll walk there" and the sidewalks are unmainted and full of thrash, there are no crosswalks, and you cant enter any malls via sidewalks. It's an absolute contrast to anywhere else in the world.

No one walks anywhere in the US apart from city centers.

You mean, after the shit he put out that was complete bs?

uh, I was just about to buy the dead space based on your message here but then I saw it has denuvo, so no buy :(

Google should be in top3. I have not once got help via their customer service channels.

Or fatpeoplehate, gone at the same time. Porn was hidden a bit later

yup, but in exchange would you give up the refund process that we now have?
