Price sticker had me amused - I never thought of that!

Another suggestion is to buy a card in a different language. Or if it says Mother’s Day where you don’t even bother replacing “Mother” with “Father”, but that might be a bit too intentionally mean so I would only send this depending on what kind of relationship and trauma that OP has.

My hands are cold.

What? Wow! I never would’ve. I mean, Kanye of all people?!

I feel like I should be shocked, but for some reason I’m not surprised. What is this feeling?

Am I still human? (or am I dancer?)

The process of generating AI-Tom Cruise was trivial. They turned on Cruise Control, and it just did the rest of the work for them.

Edit: It is also dead inside.

Microsoft has been radicalizing me more and more these days.

I have an i7-12700k and an RTX 3080. I heard Nvidia is tricky because of drivers, but any issues with using intel CPUs with Linux?

Where should I, a complete noob, begin? I’m intermediately technical, moderate/semi-intermediate with command line, etc. Is Mint the best way to go?

I tried pop_OS! a few years ago but my computer couldn’t run it well for some reason - lots of lag despite having an i7 7700k at the time and installing it on a separate spare SSD. Reinstalled it twice but still had issues with noticeable lag in the OS. My specs were great, but that OS turned me off unless it has substantially improved since then.

“Oh?”

The world was at peace for those few months.

Bluetooth does have latency issues, but setting your TV to Game mode (if available) will provide extremely noticeable improvement.

“I would like [Dr. Birx] to speak to the medical doctors. to see if there is any way that you can apply light and heat to cure [covid-19]? You know? If you could? And maybe you can, maybe you can’t? Again, I say maybe you can, maybe you can’t?”

“I’m not a doctor, but I’m like a person who has a good…”

Gestures vaguely at his head

“… you know what.” ~ Former President Donald Trump

Oof, ultraviolet light. This makes me flashback to April 2020, shortly after the U.S. shutdown for the Coronavirus pandemic.

If you have 1:57 minutes of free time, watch this video of former President Donald Trump addressing the nation on the response to the novel coronavirus.

Warning: If you experience second-hand embarassment, try not to watch Dr. Birx in the background squirm in her seat as she sits through the idiot rambling of the orange man. Immediately after this press conference, corporations and media companies pushed out critical warnings to Americans to not drink or inject disinfectants like bleach.

Owner Class: “Hey - it should trickle down any minute. I know you’ve been waiting 50 years for it, but it’s gonna come this time. Meanwhile, please subscribe to our Cardboard-Box-as-a-Service.”

EDIT: Oops, I just got back from my beating. My owners wanted me to add an additional addendum:

“Cardboard-Box-as-a-Service (CBaaS) has some additional benefits. Our free tier allows you access to the box, along with special promotions from our sponsors that will play inside the box. Parking comes as an extra service in order to comply with the law. We will provide details on what surcharges you can expect, but our partner providers can communicate what rental fees for land for the CBaaS entail.”

“Our Premium Tier will remove ads. And finally our Super Premium Tier includes a bidet. Water service for the bidet is included with up to 10 bidet cycles per user, with additional licensing available for additional fees. Water pressure may be throttled when many concurrent users are using their bidet. We will release new details on additional plans to increase your booty stream priority, once we figure out how much we can get away with.”

And if you wanted delicious fries, your best buy was not at Best Buy but rather Five Guys Burgers and Fries.

What’s Taters, precious?

Yeah! And you know what else? The Jerk Store called, and they were running out of her.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Especially the second movie, Sea of Monsters.

Thank goodness the TV show is coming in December. Rick Riordan, the author, has personally been overseeing the production. I have high confidence the tv series will be much closer to the books. Hopefully this will do well enough that future seasons will be funded and we’ll get seasons that adapt the rest of the books.

My Series 2 would enter the chat, but it needs to get its Social Security Check first before it can afford a bus ticket to get here.

The best way to get back at someone is to have a great life. Ignore him and block him, and carry on with your great life.

He’s obviously insecure, fragile, and arrogant. Move on - you’ll never win anything by stopping to his level, and you’ll never convince him to change his ways by putting him in his place. The older you get, the more you realize quickly people just aren’t worth your time.

When you see him next, just ignore him. When he gossips about you to his brother or your friends in an attempt to get a rise out of you, laugh and ignore him.

Have a great life, and fuck that guy.

Hey! That telemetry that we didn’t agree to and a good chunk of which was buried in lengthy legal jargon that you have to accept to use the car was necessary. Like Goku’s crowdsourced Spirit Bomb, Nissan collected our sex data to… make sexy cars. Yeah that’s it. Nothing insidious! /s

So unfortunate that these scams happen all the time, and it’s shocking that we’re still seeing it today.

I remember the huge scandal back in the 90’s about this. Kent Brockman covered the exclusive story:

“Police say the fake Pope can be easily recognized by his high-top sneakers and incredibly foul mouth.”
