At what age do you tell boomer parents the truth about Christmas? That their daughter who moved away to the “bIg CiTy” so she could get an “eDuCaTiOn” and pursue a “CaReEr” and “dRiNk LaTtEs” is actually happy there, is not going to come home from Christmas, fall in love with the blue collar boy who never left town, and magically discover the rural housewife life is what she actually wanted all along?
Definite wins for me:
Capitalism: “No.”
I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for any sort of epic crash.
I expect that home ownership is going to become solely for the upper-middle class and up, and that home prices won’t make any serious downward movement.
I expect the housing crisis will eventually start to ease as areas become more accepting of high-density housing development, and that will become the sole province of people with finances beneath the home ownership class.
Essentially, the establishment of a much more distinct and explicit two-tier system. Prices in one will have minimal impact on the other, much like how any swing in prices for small passenger boats has no impact on the price of yachts.
Everything I own, except the burial plot. I bought that for death.
Bidet standing up. Making it brown rain.
How has it been like 20 years since Slashdot was relevant, and we’re still getting the same, “LOL install Linux instead” comments?
Like, I’ve been using and loving Linux since the late '90. But damn, I’m expecting to see “Micro$oft” in these comments any moment.
God heals, but always within the exact parameters of what is possible by the modern medicine of that exact era.
Amputees unfortunately can still go fuck themselves.
Put a large collection of albums into your “Library”.
Now try to pull up a list of a single artist’s albums within your Library.
The “Library” management is so remedial that it’s basically a joke. It can’t measure up to iTunes from 20 years ago. It’s completely unusable for a serious music collection.
It may be fine for people that just listen to singles and playlists, but every other music service can do that too, while also offering complete functionality elsewhere.
YouTube Music is a half-baked, half-complete product. It’s inexplicable that it exists when they literally just needed to do nothing but rebrand Google Play Music.
YouTube Music is the enshitttified version of Google Play Music.
There’s a reason it’s called “bodybuilding” and not “brainbuilding”.
At some point it will be too obvious. Instead of making it too big, have it scale back down, then back up, etc.
I like to bind. I like to be bound.
If the cop is a cute girl, then it becomes context-dependent.
Apple Maps + CarPlay is so much better than Google Maps + Android Auto that the latter is embarrassing.
I say this as someone that has owned Android phones since the very beginning (HTC Dream/T-Mobile G1).
Game devs: “No thanks, we’re waiving the fees by using a different engine.”
I guess to contradict my own point, the point of watching the show became less about the quality of the show itself, and more about college-aged Danielle Fishel and college-aged Maitland Ward screen time.
Boy Meets World
GoT should have just never happened in the first place, and we should have gotten 5 more seasons of Rome instead.
A true quality office chair, like the Herman Miller Aeron, and not one of those awful “racing chair” game streamer pieces of junk.
Doesn’t even have to be brand new. I bought both of my Aerons used, and I think their manufacture dates are like 2008 and 2013. I’ve had them for many years, sat in the 2008 one every workday for the past 10 years, and it might as well still be new. I see no reason that I won’t sit in it for the next 10 years. I could have gone through a bunch of crappy Office Depot chairs in that span.
