It’s a bit more insidious, it’s like “what if I am just lazy…”

I think they just try their best

Also former insider and can’t believe what I used to put up with before switching. It’s so nice using software that isn’t constantly trying to manipulate you track you or monetize you.

People talk about Windows v Linux being like “you get what you pay for” but any distro or package that fucked around this much would be dropped so fucking fast.

I can’t believe millions of people just put up with their software getting consistently worse.

It’s afraid!

Chrono Trigger is doing this for me right now

This is not in keeping with my maximal aesthetic

I believe that there’s a reason we went to war and I believe at the end of the war, the Middle East will be more stable than before.

I’m at a loss for words

God that’s disgusting. As if there wasn’t any reason to despise this company already

Aaah that kind of makes intuitive sense

Damn that is quite a split in experience. I don’t know who to believe!

Cheaper for who?

I can’t remember if I heard it here but I have heard (and feel, anecdotally) that cycling between wearing two different pairs of shoes leads them to lasting longer than if you wore one pair until they fell apart then a second pair until they fell apart.

I don’t know how that could possibly work unless giving shoes a “break” rather than wearing every day extends their life somehow.

My evidence: I have had a separate pair of running shoes and walking shoes for a few years now.

Nah

🫡 I’m going to try pressure my employer to do the same. Like is this thing saving anybody money??

Conceding to fascism is the only way to defeat fascists!

And other quotes from people who don’t realise they’re fascist tools.

The client will always wait. These hustle addicts forget all the times they had to reschedule to accommodate ((wow 2 c and 2 m? Seems excessive)) others. Life happens and we work around it.

For, speeed

I can hear it

This is literally how I quit, except I did it intentionally.

But this is fake because the jump from 0.001 to 0.000 was like the ground disappearing beneath my feet.

For the previous week I was only using 0 nic juice in a pod that previously held a tiny amount of nic (we’re talking trace amounts near the end - I wasn’t feeling a thing).

Anyway I thought I was going through withdrawal so hard with the 0 nic in the used pod, but NOPE switch to 0 nic in a fresh pod and it was like “welcome to withdrawal 2.”

Still really happy I quit though. It’s so great not going into a panick whenever I misplace my vape for like 42 seconds. That was always so fucking humbling.
