This is the way.

Anyone else remember when Google bragged about never being worried about storage as you watched your storage free count, grow and grow and grow.

Ahhh. Memories.

• Me at 11yr answering phone: “hello? I AM NOT <moms name>!!!
• Me at 16yr answering phone: “hello? I AM NOT <dad’s name>!!!

And:

• Also me: “MOM PHONE FOR YOOOOUUU!!”
• Mom: <normal tone cause she’s in the room near by> “did you ask who it was!?!”
• Me: <normal tone> “who’s calling please? <yelling>Mom, it’s Debbie!!!”

And lastly:

Kids will never get to experience the thrill of talking to your girlfriend about tonight while your little sister gets on the phone in the basement and makes “make out noises” loudly before giggling and hanging up.

Shhh, the smart people are talking. Listen and learn

This will be be one of those that they use to tag onto your allegedly illegal activities. Probably a larger penalty but a secondary infraction that can be painful. They just need reason.

I think you can equate it to if you were pulled over for speeding, and they noticed a busted taillight which makes the fine larger. They can’t pull you over for a busted taillight alone but they can add those fees on and wow do they add up.

I’m shaking in my boots, Utah. I’m skared!!! Prove that I’m surfing PORN. Maybe I just want to protect my privacy and stop my ISP from selling my online activities. But also, porn. I know Europe has a few countries imposing this, but damn am I glad to not be in the USA anymore. I’d likely be shot and killed leading a revolution. At least people would have a martyr…

Mullvad has quantum resistance and DIATA. Only when VPNs are outlawed will this be an issue.

Smooth Jazz yes, but when there’s improvisation I tend to nope right out. Smooth jazz, big band, ragtime - all play the same way each time but for different focus (like big band/swing is for dance).

The only time I’ll tolerate improvisation jazz is while eating dinner when it’s socially acceptable to ignore the music and leave when done eating.

I’m just outside those years. Guess my opinion doesn’t matter :P

Probably a Red Bull can then, because uk and USA cans are like 8” and 10” in circumference. Red Bulls are something like 6.5”.

Don’t ask why I know this useless info unless you like to know more about geek night trivia, and beer.

I was just in Bordeaux. Not a single issue with my weak French and I’d almost always get a reply in French. I promise I am nowhere near fluent, maybe A2 level.

But in Paris, nearly every reply was in English and even if I replied back in French I’d get that look “please stop butchering my language” before they’d reply in English. It’s a running joke now, but I really question if it’s just parisons being assholes or maybe they just want to practice.

Ps. Never had this issue with Italian. My accent is almost Roman too and I’m again, not fluent.

American soda can or UK? Asking for a friend.

I had this long term girlfriend that loved gardening. I took her to the local garden store and said shop and enjoy. Cost me near $1000 that day, but the random ‘happy’ sex for those next few weeks was pristine. Bonus, more than half of what she bought she used at my house which looked amazing for all 5 months of warm weather as all these flowers and formerly rough areas just looked amazing with mulch, and trim and full grass… worth every penny.

I miss her some times… but she loved to lie, like A LOT, and I just couldn’t handle it anymore.

Maybe in traditional american culture. The rest of the world cares about the family at every stage.

None of these happen on a regular occasion, I can’t even remember the last time ANY of them happened in my office where macOS is the default. 90% of what you experienced is probably user created errors**. But then again I realize I’m in a Linux sub and it’s what we Linux users do, tweak shit.

** except for the play button. Apple does like to force Apple Music over my already open player.

macOS is perfect for every day use for most people and for those that know how to use it outside the normal, powerful.

Mandatory Triple play packages by xfinity is coming BACK! Yay… I forgot what it was like to over pay for my internet with 2 additional services I don’t want. Can’t wait.

Sorry Pope, there’s no money in that. Signed - insurance companies and Donald j Trump (because he likes his name in everything)

People think I’m weird for not enjoying this show, and many others like it. I’ll laugh a good joke but it’s just a constant quip of bad jokes and insults with a laugh track. Friends, the office, parks and rec… I just can’t enjoy them.

Try having an account since 2007 and logging in once a month to check in with friends, but this last year I get banned for using vpn. Same deal, verify, ban, unlock, verify, ban. I personally like that they tell me my account was compromised…

I have it running now on and old Mac that isn’t logged in with any other accounts. It’s on its own, doesnt use Adblock and uses the public WiFi from the coffee shop below my apartment. If I have to use Facebook, they can figure my usage patterns out without help.

I had this box that carried/moved from 1996 - 2016 (when boxes weren’t cheaply made) that had every cable from scsi, power, ps, usb and more. I can count on one hand the 3 times I needed something from it. I moved with it 5x between 2 states and apartments and a house, and when I moved it the last time from my basement office to my upstairs office, I decided to turn those cables into money (copper). I never looked back because I found myself being lazy and searching Amazon for a 3$ cable.

I shall live with this tech nerd shame, but honestly I sold everything to move to Spain, so whatever. Heh.

Oh it’s worse, I’m on the tail end of Gen X, very early millennial depending on your interpretation of the defined years. And our definition of major purchase is very different.
