“We’ll recycle the same theme’s and franchises over and over until they’re completely worn out AND we’ll paywall the shit out of our media so everyone has to have 27 subscriptions to watch anything remotely interesting. Oh, and you’re going to like it because we said so.”
Also Film Studios:
“Wait, where are you going!? Why aren’t you giving us money??? Come back! You can’t not subscribe!”
I had to sign up for a business account because of Cox’s data cap. Sadly they’re my only option and they suck ass.
Oh, so that’s why Mike McCarthy looks so stressed here lately.
I once worked for a big corporation that makes hydraulic rescue tools, where management somehow failed to grasp that the chief selling point of these tools is that they do the job reliably every time. No firefighter wants to be trying to get someone out of a car like, “Damnit! The cutter is acting up again. We should probably look into that.”
But the executives kept demanding that we add “features” to the tools that effectively compromised the reliability and then got all surprised Pikachu face when it was explained to them that the customers thought the tools were overpriced half-assed garbage.
I guess my point is I’ve seen plenty of incredibly stupid examples of management ignoring the engineers and yet somehow Musk demanding that radar be scrapped in favor of cameras is right at the top of the list. Especially if you want your customers to live long enough to buy your products more than once.
Reddit was never “mainstream social media”. Annecdotally, I have heard more people referring to Reddit in casual conversation so maybe it is becoming more widely accepted.
If that’s true, then I still have no regrets about leaving. If I wanted to look at a news feed full of hot garbage I would have stayed on Facebook.
I live in a red state with an $11/hr minimum wage. We got that by amending the constitution, thereby overriding the legislature which was opposed to the increase. Unfortunately $11/hr is not even close to enough to live on here so apparently it’s time to raise it via another constitutional amendment. Sigh
Why use many frame when few frame do trick?
You feel my pain. Literally! Last time I had to cram my feet into size 13 ice skates it sucked some of the fun out of it.
I wear a men’s 14. Basically the DD’s of feet. My wife says I’m not allowed to show them off for free so get our your wallets folks.
To be fair, Culver’s is a fast food date that I would actually be OK with.
Monster: “I’m just going to go chill in this dark basement for a bit. Nobody is going to come bother me in here.”
I hear a lot of devs that don’t seem to get this.

No, Why would I spend a week coding something that I can create a pivot table and some charts for in an hour? Especially when if I code it myself, that means I now own and have to support my lovely new utility. Time is money and I’ve got way more important things to do than build custom reporting suites that no one except me is ever going to use.
Lol Google sheets has nowhere near the capabilities of Excel. They’re not even in the same class.
And still the spreadsheet gold standard. Microsoft gets plenty of shit wrong but Excel is one thing they got right.
It’s a hammer and It’s always on top of the ladder I’m about to move.
Sure. Trying to run a highly dangerous, technologically advanced theme park with two underpaid IT guys and no disaster avoidance and recovery plans.
Before getting diagnosed I would routinely drink at least a pot (maybe two) of coffee throughout the day to stay motivated and probably three mixed drinks at the minimum after dinner to slow down the “inner restlessness.”
Not a healthy lifestyle at all.
