I love the double standard. Trump can say “arrest all the radical left” and “LOCK HER UP” but if a democrat grows a backbone and says it back it’s “THEY’RE BEING MEAN!!! YOU CAN’T SAY THAT!”

We can’t even figure out how to not have half our society be rasict, how the hell are we gonna save a whole planet from our fuckery?

Easy: they like money. The entire ideology behind Trump is “he’s rich and I can be rich like him too!” All the VC guys know they can manipulate him with very little money (for them) and get to keep/make more for themselves. He’s only a true friend to the wealthy.

Sam Altman always rubbed me the wrong way. He always seemed like he was trying to be the “humble” Steve Jobs - just as tyrannical and stubborn, but he was doing it “to better humanity” with AI. I call bullshit, he’s just another tech billionaire asshole.

With all these billionaires popping up how do we keep forgetting that the guillotine exists?

I bought puts, but at this rate, the company will be bankrupt before the contract expires in January.

I sank ENDLESS hours in GT4. That is one of my favorite games of all time. I would love to see a retooling of GT4 in the GT 5 or 6 engine, but I’ll take this.

I still have a save that I kept because the in game days were right before the black GT1 Cars went up in the used section.

Aim lower.

It sounds shitty but there’s merit. Think of it like an RPG, where you grind on low level fodder until you have enough confidence to land where you really want. Also, you may find that people who you’ve generally considered “unattractive “ in the past are actually really great because they’re genuinely decent people.

Bag a few 2 or 3 girls (by your standards) so you feel confident and good enough about yourself that you’re not in a pit of despair.

I also noticed is that when you really stop trying, that’s when things tend to happen. Like you have to consciously stop trying. People can smell the desperation and effort a mile away. Confidence is sexy because it comes off as effortless.

Give it a week. Their twitter account apparently acknowledged it may be coming soon.

Yes and in Nassau county NY, they’ve now made it ILLEGAL to wear a mask unless you can prove to a cop you’re doing it cause you’re sick.

Deadass.

Apparently the law exists because “bad actors” were protesting certain policies while “undercover” in a mask. This law was designed to “protect citizens and law enforcement from people hiding their identities to commit crimes.”

I viewed the recent activity in my account. I did not receive any notifications of failed logins in the last 8 weeks its been going on. I assume because I use 2FA and the password is just wrong it doesn’t bother cause of the frequency it happens.

I never liked Adams. He always seemed like he was up to something.

Wait till they hear about GWAR.

I’m convinced we live in a timeline where the Illuminati is run by clowns and they are giving us the most absurd storylines for season 2024 of Earth AD.

I’ve been using Mlem since week 2 and I have no idea if I’m missing anything or not. I’ve never visited any instance on anything but Mlem.

“We’re not gonna reach it in time. Guess we’ll just die.”

I have Sonos and it is meh. They just issued an apology in the app for how bad their app got, so I can’t really recommend it.

I keep seeing good reviews about Audio Pro. I don’t know too much about them, but they seem to have the same idea of multi-room audio.

Self hosting is the big caveat. There’s a lot of great software options, but the hardware can get to be a bit limiting if you don’t wanna play with common protocols like AirPlay or Chromecast.

Additionally, you could do a Denon or Marantz receiver or Soundbar with multi zone and cover at least 2 spaces wired and add wireless zones via their Heos protocol.

There’s also HomePod, Alexa, or even Bluetooth speakers like the UE Boom or JBL series that you can daisy chain Bluetooth speakers together. No real soundbar solution with this option. Ironically JBL Soundbars don’t communicate with their Bluetoo speakers.

Audio Engine makes some fine speakers that support WiFi or Bluetooth and all they need is power.

Kef has the incredible but pricey LS series of bookshelf and tower speakers. They are independently powered and support all kinds of wireless protocols including AirPlay.

There are a ton of audio solutions nowadays but a lot of them will still require either a wire somewhere or playing with standardized protocols.

I too wish there were a more “self hosted” options. It seems like sooner or later some more viable options will come to light though.

I legit thought it was Steve-O

Ahhh, it’s good to be da king.

No but hopefully it is something better than Reddit has ever been. It’s awesome watching the community grow and cater to more niche interests.

I was also recently laid off. Regional management for retail support. Piggybacking onto this thread for any useful tips.
