I got an email like this a few weeks ago, and then about 2 minutes later I got a new email with the corrected replacements.

I replied with a screenshot zoomed in on the “candidate name” bit and left it at that. Didn’t even get a half-assed “lol sorry Bruh”

That’s fair.

The obvious choice is “don’t buy tvs that might do this” but if you’ve already got one, open up the case, find the wifi antenna, and pull the little connection out.

And the average person has (usually) no idea if what they’re being fed is even correct. But as long as it sounds correct to someone who has no idea…

Yes, but line go up fast enough?

In the old days the brick-and-mortar stores would refuse to stock any game that was even remotely controversial in content or age rating.

Either you’re too young to have experienced “the old days” or you live in a very conservative area.

There was absolutely a mature section for nearly every store I went to, they either had sleeves to cover the games with printed/handwritten titles, or were collected and kept in their own area that was in view of an employee to tell kids to stay away.

Places like Walmart

Oh, you meant department stores, not actual local game stores.

Aliens have to figure out our vaginas from scratch.

“The fuck is you talkin about, I looked a buncha stuff up on my phone that’s research!”

Depends on how many you eat…

SNAKE?!

You ask a bunch of questions about a task in order to convince the client that the task doesn’t need to be done at all.

I ask a bunch of questions because I’ve forgotten half the answers already and am trying to make enough stick that I can make something close enough they don’t notice my attention is wandering while they blather.

We are not the same.

Vanilla pudding in mayo jars.

Blue sport drink in index bottles.

Inside those shells is a tiny disco ball

If I wanted to go through the process of trying to recover my facebook, I guarantee I would get a few dozen people tossing out hand emojis and saying “amen” before anyone notices I’m not talking about the christian god

I used to play black ops 1 a shitload. I was fresh out of highschool and it was my first online game after getting internet. I already liked FPS games and this was interactive FPS with actual skilled people instead of shitty bullet sponge bots.

As for why people love them so much now? I have no idea. I’m sure I also wouldn’t have cared for them if I had played online games earlier in life.

I’d much rather have a compelling story nowadays.

Damn, that’s the same bass-ackwards logic that record companies use to say piracy makes them lose money.

Spoiler alert: the majority of people pirating your stuff would not have otherwise purchased it. You have lost nothing.

Similarly, the majority of people using gamepass to play the game would absolutely not have bought the game, especially since it’s the same game as last time, with new names and skins.

For instance: the last call of duty game I bought was MW3. I only played black ops 2 when someone got two copies for their birthday and gave one to me I only remember playing for the zombies. I have played a total of less than 30 minutes, from startup screen to shutdown, of all the call of duties since then. Absolutely no chance in hell I’d buy another one. But I’m sure Microsoft would have included me trying it out as a potential lost sale of every one of them.

I used to work in a warehouse that made a HUGE deal about the employees using the proper recycling bin so the company can get a nice check from somewhere or other for “going green”

This warehouse recieved thousands of pallets every day.

Each pallet is wrapped with hundreds of square feet of plastic wrap.

Each box is individually wrapped with maybe 10ftsq-50 depending on size.

Each box contains goods in plastic bags. Many of them with plastic clamshell packaging.

The products get unwrapped, and placed in larger boxes on shelves.

When the items get distributed to stores, the items were put in plastic bags, boxed up and wrapped in plastic wrap, boxes placed on pallets that were automatically wrapped by machines in hundreds of square feet of plastic.

None of the plastic from the warehouse floor is separated from the general waste.

Remember, it’s your responsibility to reduce waste.

I think of the shareholders, board, c-suites, and all of their friends every time I gaze upon my Guillotine.

should be impeached

Impeached and then executed for treason.

To many people nowadays, the actual job itself doesn’t matter, it’s the fact that it’s a job and it pays.
