Yes, this is ridiculous. My last iphone lasted 6 years, I bought one of those kits to DIY replace the battery at about year 4 to get more time out of it before I traded it in. 2-3 years means you’ve likely just paid it off for only a year before buying again.

I’d argue that the Millennials did have it bad. They got told they’d have the traditional path, then got shat on by boomers constantly telling them it was their fault for not succeeding because “avocado toast” and “Starbuck’s coffee”. Meanwhile the boomers kept yanking the rug out from under eveyone with boom-bust recessions while saying “oh, that just happens every “x” years” while pillaging the economy by deregulating and consolidating. The milennials got lied to, hard. Generations after them had the “benefit” of knowing they were already fucked.

100%

I’m Gen X and starting to see a lot of the boomer “uphill both ways to school in the snow with no shoes” bullshit from Gen X. STFU you asshats. My generation simultaneously says it had the greatest time and then turns around and whines about whatever manufactured hardship they come up with when talking about outher gens.

Yeah, we DID and DO have the best of both pre- and post-tech worlds, we arguably had the last shot at the traditional school, college, walk-in-your-resumee career, then buy a home, and the generational motto is “fuck you” if anyone even remembers us, but siddown. Don’t turn into our parents, you assholes.

Like an executive will be driving himself anywhere.

Lol.

Arctus = “Bear”, Anti = “against” in ancient Greek, or “opposite” in modern meaning.

Arctic = bears are here

Anti-arctic = opposite bears, or “no bears”.

Back when you could write your own savefile names i‘d cadge together some shorthand for the filename to help: sdqstswordgetthing.sav or some such. “Side quest to get sword get the [item] next on the list.”

They’ve been saying the “bubble is going to burst” for a while now. If they keep saying it eventually they might be right. Then everyone will jump up and down trying to claim they were the ones who rightly predicted it. A quick search by date shows plenty of articles discussing the AI bubble from 2025, 2024, and even a rare few from 2023. Three years of doomsayers waters it down to meaninglessnes even if they‘re eventually right.

My friend, we’re all wired a little differently. Sometimes that wiring shifts by the day, or if our social battery is used up, or if we’ve been burned a lot. Also, of you’ve got AuDHD it can potentially make you suspicious because you have a hard time picking up any cues regarding the praise to tell if someone is bullshitting you or not. And yeah, praise can be awesome, as long as it’s from a trusted source.

Fair point.

They’re conveneint to charge you with.

Damon looked like he had a blast.

Awesome build. Well done, love how clean it is. I’m glad it’s not full of RGB everywhere and colored coolant.

On that note, that’s a LOT of radiator you’ve got going on. I’m running an i9 and 4080 on waterblocks and have a single radiator, they don’t go over 59C and it stays plenty quiet.

Now you only have 5 years of payments before the hardware is paid off.

Having had a Full English, this one’s a bit short…but I’d eat it all. Looks great.

Gross “We did it knowing nobody was going to prosecute us because Trump and that’s what bribes are for” reasons.

Eurotrip - the whole dvd.

I clicked through rewatching some of it and it’s generically raunchy, like it was trying to outcompete the American Pie movie for sex references and topless women.

Edit: It can be very depressing in winter.

Nobody else will talk to him.
