If you think biscuit is bad… you should try pan.
I’ve tried explaining the various English denominations of various bread items to Spanish speaking people and it’s just not easy. Roll, bun, loaf, baguette, brioche, pita, ciabatta, soda bread, brown bread, rye… it’s all just pan.
The owner who cared is dead. The ones who have control now are more interested in profits than trying to be good.
Wendy’s used to be the pioneer of the value menu too.
Sir, this is not /c/lemmyshittiestposts
i’m convinced if grocery stores charged a congestion charge for sundays and on french toast alerts people would change their habits. Too many motherfuckers going on sundays.
If it were up to my wife i’d be another one of the sunday zombies too. I try everything in my power to get her to choose any other day
Ubereats lets you set the tip after the delivery. afaik the others don’t.
Should be illegal to prompt a tip before services are rendered, including at those POS machines that ask you up front to tip even a small amount.
Even if your drives are all SSD you’re never going to have so many writes that it dies unless you download a full catalog of 8k content daily then nuke it and start over… for a few years
Already cancelled my prime account when this was announced months and months and months ago.
You’re already getting recurring subscription fees from me, so you’re getting paid even if I don’t use your services for any period of time. Stop fucking around and playing games, adding ads is double dipping. I’ll just stop the recurring transactions and find services elsewhere.
Just buy them from costco. $1149 https://www.costco.com/funeral-caskets.html
Empyrion is a way better game about space exploration and i’d never consider it for a GOTY award.
For over a year it’s been fairly trivial to play unauthorized copies of games online with normal players. Should be no surprise they are pulling the plug after their copy protection is broken.
Should get about 6 more years out of the Nintendo Switch’s online service before they pull the plug too if this is any indication.
Ah yes, the global mental health stigma that is very real and will not go away.
Guy in the comments calls out that almost all the recalls are simply software updates that happen without anyone even knowing about them.
I have no doubts that recalls can and will happen with any new automaker but if it’s mostly software updates and they’re on top of them… better than not fixing them at all.
A counterpoint to the idea that the clunkiness that keeps away the masses should be Threads. A couple of days in and they are full with hate and bullshit because they had millions right away. I know the format is different from here, but I think the concept still applies.
Slow steady growth of people who have to think critically to really use the platform is better than explosive growth from every ignoramus signing up to spew drivel. At least that’s my perception of it all.
I can see that not driving people away but confusing people that aren’t massively tech savvy.
This is a disadvantage early, but it also weeds out a lot of the critical mass ignorance and a lot of the people who are unwilling to make any effort to think critically. I’m really looking forward to how it grows. The more popular it gets the more the pressure will be to have it be user friendly. Right now it feels like reddit from about a decade ago.
People really love their fake internet points. Tracking per-server would be trivial. Gamification works to encourage engagement as has been proven time and time again.
I pay for a single netflix sub, crunchyroll, and a vpn service.
After netflix announced ads i’ve been more and more considering dumping them and just focusing on that vpn service. I have paid for years and years of streaming services but I can’t possibly comprehend how prices need to go up again and again, almost always by double digit percentage points. The cost of storage and bandwidth goes down over time, servers get cheaper over time… there’s hardly any first party new media that is worth watching so i’m struggling to understand why i’m paying more.
The most bizarre thing to me though are people who pay for live TV… why in the world would you ever do that in 2024 with all the better options out there?
