Bacteria be like “You merely adopted the tetrodotoxin. I was born in it, molded by it…”

Funny moments get shared between friends and spreads its reach -> Long form reaction content creates sharable moments -> Livestreams generate long form reaction content -> Livestreams have a chat that accompanies the streamer -> Streamer refers to chat during funny moments -> This is referenced as a meme -> Talking to chat spreads beyond the original context

Lack of updates isn’t a killer as much as you think. I’m intentionally running a 5 year old version of Android (11) and never once have any security issues. The best defense is being smart about your usage no matter how old your software is.

Honestly just get a new mouse and consider this a lesson to be a bit more careful next time. The amount of effort to fix your current mouse isn’t worth your time

Wow finally someone else with a level-headed take. Careful though, that kind of thinking doesn’t do well here

Put it towards rent, shit’s insane these days

Fingerprinting. If they don’t have a cookie, they’ll link other information that they have to figure out with pretty decent accuracy who you are

and then the GPU will catch fire

Y’all act like this wasn’t the plan all along

… How ya doin?

You’re a fantastic father. I wish your family the best of luck.

Be careful about ebay, a lot of sellers just drop ship from Amazon

I bought a used car that was made in 2004. It doesn’t even have aux in or traction control, let alone 4g…

“We’ve reviewed your report of this very obvious sexually explicit spam bot and found that it does not violate community guidelines. We use a combination of technogies to identify potentially harmful content…”

The ghosting was mutual, I couldn’t show my face there again (metaphorically)

I literally had a panic attack and ran out of the room during a phone interview once

Maybe they should have called it something besides DSC-QX100

New pokemon games are neither so that doesn’t really work

If I ask my manager or my director a question or challenge their thought process I get called into a 1 on 1 meeting where I’m told I’m a great asset to the team but me asking questions of them in a team setting sets a bad example

This isn’t on you. If you manager’s skin is so thin that they can’t take some critical thinking thrown at them, then they shouldn’t be a manager. Though if you’re doing it all the time it’s probably very annoying. If they’re doing some self-destructive braindead company decisions, then just roll your eyes and don’t say anything while waiting for their comeuppance to bite them in the ass. You don’t have to kiss the ring but you don’t have to be a nuisance either.

So I guess my question if any is are there still companies that exist in the USA or outside that still give a fuck about what they’re doing and not just inflate that companies value so it can be sold or keep the stock price going up.

Maybe a small business with decent core values. They are very rare though, and are liable to be eaten alive by a change in management. So basically no.

Using labels for attraction and gender is a way to bring people closer together and share communities and issues. It’s not limited to dating, though obviously it helps to find people who fit each other’s attraction. “Oh you’re pan? That’s awesome, I’m gay and this is my boyfriend!” / “I heard Stacy is single, let’s hook her up with Jane, tee hee” / “Does anyone know where I can find a gender-neutral restroom at the airport?”
