“Plus we are getting a Buc-ees,” Oh hell yeah now we’re talking!!! “…so at least we will have cold drinks while we fry and drown.” Ah fuck!

I’ve grown a bit tired of the Xbox experience as well with some of what you’ve mentioned. I also don’t play every single game that comes out, just a select few with whatever free time I do have. I want to get away from online gameing if I can, though I’m not against it my preferences are just shifting so I want to gravitate more to single player games and currently I’m considering the next Switch console (Switch 2?) and just play all the first party games Nintendo is known for, Zelda, Mario, Starfox, etc and all their retro games that’ll be on the online store. I could get lost for years with that content. Really excited to possibly have that option for myself in the future. Just thought I’d share a different perspective.

I think I’ll just stick to playing retro games in emulators for free without a subscription. Sure I miss out on the latest and greatest games, but graphics aren’t everything to me, the gameplay is more important to me. Plus, I really despise having to have subscriptions for everything. If Game Pass works for people, more power to those gamers, but I’m tired of giving what little income I have to billion dollar companies. /rant

Not an IT guy, just a dude that got tired of the Windows blue screen of death back in the day and discovered Linux many years ago as an alternative. I can’t code to save my life, but I know enough to use GitHub to report bugs I encounter. It can be time consuming and tedious but when I help alert others that know how to fix the problem I’ve helped in a way that gives me a little bit of pride that I always cherish knowing I’m giving back to the community.

Appreciate the nitter link, thank you! A few (many?) of us no longer user Twitter actively or even have an account there, it’s essentially de-listed site to avoid for me, but at least with Nitter you can still see some of the content when needed to.

Only managed to pick up about 8 water bottle types, and about 2 small trash bags worth of random debris, rubber, ropes/lines, and for the love of all that is holy why do people smash glass bottles, like come on! But overall getting dirty helped make my area just a tiny bit cleaner for a little while and I can’t complain about that!

Sadly, it’s going to need to get a lot worse (it’s already worse) for most Americans to feel enough of the squeeze to care. Until then, the beatings will continue until moral improves…

I don’t know if I’ll commit as hard and long as you, but nonetheless you have inspired me to walk out this evening with a trash bag to go pick up some litter. Captain Planet would be so proud of us.

I laughed at this and then immediately died inside at the prospect.

You can always end up somewhere, even if you fall ass backwards into it. While I understand what RSS is, what I fail to understand is how people find it useful. I never understood using RSS to see 2 lines of a headline article that I’m going to go to the website for anyways. So it just never fit my workflow. Hopefully that makes it make a bit more sense.

“Run, run, run, as fast as you can. You can’t catch me. I’m the gingerbread man!”

I’m not a smart man by any stretch, but I always assumed growing up that it was just fantasy, so never expected those same things to happen in a real situation with a significant other. I’m surprised people took it so literally, but I can’t say I’m 100% shocked either.

I just couldn’t get into RSS feeds back when it was growing in its popularity. No chance I’ll understand using it any better now lol. I am a fool of a took.

Yarg, I came for the booty and never left!

I’ve been boycotting that podcast ever since. Such a stupid decision. And if I’m going to use a streaming service, Apple Music suits my needs just fine.

I just took a casual look at that sub and noped the fuck out. Sad to see how active a toxic community like that is, though not really surprising.

Brodie Robertson also uses Brave. Quite sad x2.

“make them rent the things they paid for” makes my blood boil. Like paying for a Wi-Fi router each month even though after a year it’s all paid off, they’ll still just charge you for it, literally free money by the millions for them. Fuck you Comcast.

Just don’t go telling the whole internet where to watch movies for free! 😅

Does this mean we’ve hit critical mass now? ;)
