XMas just makes me feel exhausted and wishing it’d be over. I’ve steadily grown less and less festive over the years. I just can’t get that worked up, every year, over any holiday. And XMas is the worst of it because it’s everywhere all around you. You can’t go anywhere or listen to anything or talk to anyone without it ever being brought up.

I’m tired of the pressure to buy this or buy that. I’m tired of this month long pause with people because of how hyperfocused they are to celebrate a holiday that’s been so tainted by capitalism that any spirit left over has been drained.

A hundred years?

More like it’s taken at least 50 of our current years, we’re just at the peak. We’re saying, as a society, that hey! You can be a convicted felon AND be president AND suffer almost NO consequences! Hey! You can be the richest person in the world and do whatever the fuck you want without repercussions!

It’s being normalized, unfortunately, in the now.

Grow up and stop being a sensationalist.

Any dumb and vaguely open-ended advice. Like “just be yourself”.

What if you’re improving yourself because the real you sucked? Do you just give that all up and return to what you were? Whoever first said that piece of advice, obviously didn’t think it through enough.

where every computer is just a chromebook

It’s horrible. We already have suffered a decade of Chromebooks and it’s only contributing to e-waste because of how restrictive Google has made them and every manufacturer just falling over it.

We’re already here with cloud storage and it’s already a bad idea. Any seemingly good idea that comes across the minds of tech corporations, they will overwork themselves to make it the shittiest idea ever by their execution.

As someone said - upgrade your storage. No excuse these days why someone can’t.

Republicans.

Nah, you’ll fucking update me anyways whether I want to or not, MIcrosoft.

I really do not see what the point of them are and I don’t really taste what ‘benefits’ they claim to provide. They’re almost required for a lot of baking and cooking needs. However, I’ve found that sometimes, they can be avoided and the food will turn out fine on it’s own.

Vegetable, Canola, Peanut, Sunflower .etc don’t look or sound healthy to me. I instead use Coconut.

Everyone is an asshole. It’s about how big of an asshole you are or can be.

You’re irredeemably an asshole once you’ve assaulted someone, have had a very lengthy criminal history, raped someone, sexually abused someone, abused children, abused any positions of power, murdered someone and any other heinous criminal activity I’ve not listed.

There’s just simply a point of no going back.

That’s pretty entitled.

Yes I do, what you don’t understand, is the society we’re in.

UBI is a great system, but I would want it heavily regulated. Because you just know and it’s the truth, that a lot of people will sit on their ass all day and take advantage of it. This is a system that should be for those who’re actually struggling.

And I say this because I’ve heard stories and seen it first hand, of people lying on documents and forms to get benefits that they don’t deserve. You cannot introduce and incorporate UBI with the mindset that nothing can go wrong - because it could, if it’s unchecked.

I take downvotes as an admission of guilt to my observations, thanks.

Who hurt you?

Trash.

No, because children do not belong online. They fuck everything up.

Life is just a big RPG. We acquaint with whomever, we deal with people who suck, everyone is an NPC until we find that one character. We level, we experience and we know our skills can improve or be hampered.

We then just die. But we don’t get a screen that tells us anything because it’s just blackness.

Which is why I said he was advised to resign. If nobody got into his ear to tell him, he’d probably be figuring other ways to avoid or make it so he can’t be convicted.

You need to turn this attitude around from being full of dread to being adventurous. If the job is as bad as you’re making it sound, you too, would want next to nothing to do with the job. The manager is giving you an out here.

I didn’t see where it stated what kind of older, unsupported hardware Windows 11 would feasibly be installed on. Like what, 5 years before it’s release? Even then, why would anyone have Windows 11 on computers 10+ years old?
