If I didn’t need to have a profile there for work I wouldn’t. I had two jobs that were kind enough to tell me when I asked that they immediately passed on me because my resume had no LinkedIn or Facebook, and I deleted my Facebook a year ago.

The only thing I use AI for is generating character art for tabletop portraits and when the well is sufficiently poisoned I will probably go back to Pinterest.

My next board and all for the foreseeable future will be AMD. I’m only rocking a 13600K right now and I haven’t had any issues, but the last bios update I did specifically to get the first microcode update wiped my GPU drivers, and the gigabyte update platform installed Norton and some other network monitoring software without my consent.

It makes a lot more sense if you reframe it as freedom for rich white landowners in the 1800s to not have to pay taxes to King George, not so much for the peons, paupers and slaves.

There’s a sandwich shop around Vancouver that’s only open like 10-2 on weekdays so I hardly ever get to go, but they get their bread from a local bakery every morning and it makes all the difference. It’s a simple turkey and cheddar sandwich, lettuce, tomato, pickle, a hint of mayo and Dijon mustard, but the ingredients are all quality and, again, the bread is fresh and super soft.

Falling Down

I get this with a young (30’s) CEO at a small business. Dude has literally zero follow through, he will ask for things, you will do them, he will forget he asked for them, and then complain you didn’t do an entirely unrelated thing that he never asked for. I am genuinely astounded at how he makes it to the office the few days he’s actually here.

Yeah, definitely misread that myself.

To OP, I see a lot of people with anthro PFPs posting from Pawb, maybe look into that instance?

Nobody.

To add to this, if you’ve already connected to internet, you can disconnect with the same shift + F10 trick to get the command prompt open and type “ipconfig /release” to get rid of your connection.

I do nice things for other people when I’m up to it, but I hesitate to call myself a ‘nice person’ because niceness isn’t necessarily an intrinsic quality, in the same way that I can be a transient dumbass at times without thinking of myself as an idiot.

Respecting the LGBTQ+ community.

As a lifelong customer of Dwarven Forge, I understand your pain.

I look like the archetypical IT guy. 30s, balding, overweight, like I’m constantly about to have a nervous breakdown (I am.)

I know exactly what it was for me. I used to read all the time in elementary and middle school, right up until 7th grade. To encourage kids to read, they implemented a reading requirement from 1st grade and up.

Upon completion of a quiz, every book with a length of ten pages or longer awarded a point per ten pages. Depending on the grade level, Five to twenty points a month were required for a satisfactory mark. Points did not carry over from month to month.

All the avid readers in my class quickly came up against the same issue - we were reading fucking novels like Eragon and Harry Potter, and they were individually good for one month each. After that, we had to start fishing for things to read, and what was once a treat became a chore, simply because we had to do it for a reason other than the enjoyment of the story. I remember getting chewed out for doing a quiz for an Amelia Bedilia book because it was on the list and I couldn’t be assed to read something more challenging to top up my points.

No discredit to R.E.M. but my world’s been ending for over a decade and I feel like dogshit constantly. Nobody told me the apocalypse would be heralded by the dumbest fucking cryptobros and AI prompters the world’s ever seen.

Meta acquiring Oculus

As someone with industry experience working with VR, I can tell you it’s a mixed bag. I think there’s certainly no way Oculus (and consumer VR in general) takes off the way it did without Facebook’s dollars behind it, and it’s certainly paved the way to the outstanding quality of standalone HMDs that are on offer today. However, it killed the initiative for PCVR hardware with the non-consolation that Meta, Pico, and HTC offer “Link mode” on all their headsets and it’s iffy on good days, which makes B2B PCVR very difficult to facilitate without some serious legwork on lowering latency over the air connections. Would that we could revive the Rift S, that headset was perfect for our needs.

Gross. Hopefully I can regedit that shit away.

The one in the manager’s mind, that also isn’t actually an MVP because sales over-promised and now you have to find a way to deliver.
