ACAB, of course, but there’s more nosy, racist neighbors out there than police. Back when I worked in residential, we had the cops called on us (black coworker) because we delivered a TV

2 cop cars rolled up on us as we loaded the broken TV into our company-branded van in our company-branded shirts. Thankfully the truth of the situation was obvious. The woman who called said she saw two black guys climb the 3 story building and break in through the window on the roof deck…but I had the security logs showing I unlocked their door using their home automation controller. Not to mention that my coworker was a short, round guy. The man can barely climb a ladder, let alone scale a building.

Like I said, they were cool about it but it still wasted half an hour of our day. My coworker said he knew exactly who called…a little old white woman across the street he spotted mean mugging us.

Uhhh all right

That’s fair but Gaga is a pretty decent actor

I thought discord streaming was so dumb until I was trying to reach my friend something in a game. Now we use it a couple times per month, it’s great. I hate that I like Discord lol

I think it’s more of an evolution in the way we use computers than a problem. The original Office UI was made during a time of single monitor dominance and now dual monitors is the standard for companies.

My most-used applications for work at AutoCAD and Excel and it’s very rare I DON’T have them maximized. They both have ribbons but even if they didn’t, I can’t imagine using them in a small window. Really the only program I don’t run full screen is Notepad

I have all the stuff I use regularly on the first ribbon. I also run excel with the formula bar 3-lines tall. Common keyboard shortcuts were removed so there’s very little unused clutter

At work I use a 1920x1200 display and have never once thought “ugh I wish I could see 4 more rows” - but if I did, I’d just collapse the ribbon…

The ribbon is better than menus. They’re even customizable. And lots of non-Microsoft software uses ribbons, too.

Plus there’s a search function right at the top if you can’t find the option you’re looking for

They’re very different in frequency, too. The left only recently started with the fiery jabs whereas previously they were “above” making comments like that…it’s been the core of the republican playbook for awhile now

Oh shit didn’t realize he was from a different county

Where is he suggesting we deport the two white Americans who tried to kill him?

I’ll add to the absurdity for you: The agent asked me, “does this sound familiar?” and recited my forum signature which was a short poem about a sailing goat

Because a dude with gun convictions didn’t have much an issue getting a new gun

My friend went to a different high school than me and for some reason they had a forum with open sign ups.

The FBI showed up at my school because I said I was gonna punch the mascot in the face…

Hey buddy, leave some commas for the rest of us!

Huh…I kinda figured they’d be past that by now but I used your exact text for this:

I voted Clinton in 2016…but I didn’t exactly vote FOR her, moreso I voted against Trump. I feel like that’s why she lost - she repeatedly demonstrated that she’s an out-of-touch career politician. She had several How Do You Do, Fellow Kids? moments that turned off a lot of people. It also felt like they were putting way too much emphasis on her being a woman and that’s…just not a selling point. I don’t care what reproductive gear a candidate is equipped with.

I cringed a bit at those gaffs but there were two main reasons my vote was a reluctant one:

1. I can’t stand politician dynasties. I don’t want political families running the country and I definitely don’t want it to be a Clinton (who I admittedly would have voted for in the 90s if I was eligible). Staying with Bill after the scandal was a political move in my opinion.

2. The nomination didn’t feel deserved at all. Sanders got screwed in a time we needed him most and it felt like it did earlier this year when I intended on voting for Biden. Nobody likes thinking “this is not who I want to support but I have no choice.” She was/is a “generic politician” who doesn’t represent the people. 2016 was an awful time for the Democrats to hoist her up.

I don’t have the same reservations about Harris even though she wasn’t my first pick, for what it’s worth, so please don’t bring up misogyny. I was vocally against the ridiculousness of pizzagate and the “omg her emails,” too.

“The convoy transporting Sinwar was accidentally targeted with a missile strike. We’ve investigated the situation and concluded that no one is at fault.”

From your first comment:

It’s a gimmick, nothing of value is lost

You’re right, you didn’t say it was useless! You said it was valueless. My bad, huge difference…

What a weird think to insult someone over. It does what it says it does and I don’t get why you’re drawing the line on what “true” wireless charging is when I’m not plugging a wire into my phone. You think I “fell for a marketing gimmick” despite using the feature almost exclusively for the past 12 years? How is it a gimmick if I get value out of it?

I like having a clean desk and not accidentally yoinking my phone off. I like not adding wear and tear to the USB port because it sucks when they break. I like that I’ve had a dozen or USB cords die but never once had to toss a wireless charger.

You aren’t the arbiter of what’s useful. You not finding value in wireless charging doesn’t mean it’s a useless gimmick. Get off damn your high horse

Wireless charging rocks, dude
