I didn’t say they don’t, I said it’s difficult for people who don’t know how. You have to spend time on education when you go vegan.

It’s about as dangerous as using IE in the old days, or Edge in administrator mode.

That doesn’t account for the frustration and confusion, the time wasted troubleshooting, the loss of property and time spent replacing it, the consumer trust violations, and the destruction of private property. They should face criminal charges for destruction of private property. By “they” I mean the executives who created and mandated this idea. Then they should be required to pay pain and suffering to each affected user at a rate of $100 per hour, with 5-10 hours assumed, and then have to replace the controllers they broke. Not give money to replace them, they should be required to immediately ship a new controller of the same type that they broke. Anything else is just lip-service, and a nice check for some random law firm.

It’s not even that. That’s like a rounding error for them. They won’t even notice.

Cancel and demand a refund. Also tell them that they’re poop faces and have poop for faces.

That’s a cell phone!

I have tried to out-crazy them, but crazy has gone beyond my ability in the last few years.

I haven’t opened any Christmas presents yet. We’re having a late Christmas due to crazy schedules for everyone involved.

Nah, he threw it on the ground. DUH!

The best place to start is talking to people you know and checking if they have the in with any good jobs. Then if that doesn’t work, apply directly for jobs you find by checking with individual companies, ideally speaking with the hiring manager first. Jobs listed on job boards are really difficult to get. You’re up against everyone, and they have filters that accidentally discard a lot of qualified candidates.

I always thought it was BS in movies when they pick a door lock in a few seconds, but nope! That’s completely realistic. The rake was even faster than my key on some attempts.

I don’t want to change anyone’s mind anymore. I’m so tired of trying. I just want them to STFU and believe their wacko shit in private like the good old days.

I have a dozen different hobbies, but I was really into flashlights for a while too. I was into them enough that my wife asked me to stop buying more flashlights and lanterns. I didn’t stop though! I only stopped when I finally decided I had scratched that itch, have obtained what I want, and was bored. But now I have great flashlights in both of our cars, in my mom’s car, one at each exterior door of the house, one at the garage door, and a few lanterns in the closet. She very much appreciates the fruits of my labors now that I’m finished.

Most apartments use Kwikset locks, which are cheap and ineffective. Picking one of those was easier than picking the practice lock from my kit. I could get my front door open in 30 seconds flat with a single pin pick, or like 2 seconds with a city rake.

I don’t think you need the “what if” parts

Why do they have forks for noses?

Get hammered, play Baldur’s Gate 3, pass out at 3am.

Papers please

It was somewhat safe when there were like 2 billion people on the planet. Not so much when there’s 8 billion.

I figure that’s about what a CD used to cost back in the day, adjusted for inflation. We were paying $16 for a CD back in the early 90’s. Records are probably more expensive to make, and often have really cool artwork as inserts. There’s the thrift store too though. About half of my record collection are original presses that I got from the thrift store for twenty five cents each. They don’t sound as good, but they’re pretty neat. Sometimes I buy a record at the thrift store just because it has cool artwork, like the Chicago album that has pressed engraving artwork, like dollar bills.

Edit: wow, CDs actually cost more back then adjusted for inflation. $36.12 in 1992.
