I hope GTA6 is an awful mess and starts a wave of AAA collapse

(I’m convinced it will have in-game ads because they can’t stop)

It’s a safe bet.

The bubble will burst, that’s our boom-bust cycle. I think we’re at the point where it is always a few bad decisions away.

I’m actually impressed that it’s still going

Coincidentally, The FED was made to stop boom-bust cycles before WWI. It’s never, ever worked, and it will never start working.

My windows “start” menu takes at least a full minute to open. Then, when I select, say, Control Panel, it takes another full minute, totally blank with no options

I’m not a programmer or even smart, but isn’t that absolute shite? I’ve used Commodores, Apple II, Macs, 386, 486, have used windows since first job (I don’t remember my first Windows version, but it played Tetris in color. Three? haha 3)

Menus have always worked before.

My next laptop will be linux Mint because I like mint ice cream. Does it have menus that open? I am super excited.

I apologize but it made me really mad and now i feel better.

I knew it was time to go after the “He gets us.” Jesus banner ad.

I have a 2008 car, it doesn’t even chime when I don’t put my seatbelt on.

After driving a 2024 Subaru, I realize that I am a very fortunate person, and I live a life of silence and peaceful reflection.

2010 models at the latest, I am only going to own old vehicles until this beeping madness ends.

How long until new models show advertisements on the dash related to your conversations? Three years, tops.

Why are we even bothering with the “middleman”?

As it is now, voters are paying these parasites many millions a year (remember in addition to their salaries they have the best healthcare and perks on Earth, I’d be stunned if they ever pay for a meal or any other expense) to pass legislation.

… and corporations are providing congress with barrels full of cash to pass legislation (that was written by the corporations)

Just make Amazon, Tesla, JP Morgan, Vanguard et al our “representatives”, and everybody saves an enormous fortune.

We’re paying for a puppet show that provides nothing to anybody.

This is cursed.

I think a lot of people will be very angry with the game, I predict further outrageous gouging at every opportunity if this is any indication. Like having-to pay-to-reload-your-gun-kinda gouging.

Well, as usual I will wait for the game of the year diamond edition to see.

Don’t they have to be old to have used “Old Google”? It’s about 30 years old, seems appropriate that the users of old Google would be 40s at minimum, yeah?

I’ve got a Samsung fridge. Don’t be me.

To use the buttons inside the fridge (for temp control, etc), you have to push the “unlock keys” button for 3 seconds. This isn’t a nuclear missile launcher, it’s a fridge. Idiots.

To clean the bottom shelves, you have to uninstall them… this is an absurdly difficult task. I had to look up how to do so online. It’s infuriating. It’s a shelf.

The ice maker has one vulnerability; ice. If the fridge temperature is too cold (under 38f) the ice machine doesn’t work.

Fortunately, I didn’t connect it to network. I hate it.

Many are tired of being milked at every possible angle.

That’s the problem. The milking.

It’s been reported a few times that Ukraine is already using AI for drones.

The human operator chooses the target, the AI takes over and eliminates the target.

Is that “just an LLM”?

Seems more capable than that to me. But, I don’t know if this is actually true, or just a claim to frighten the Russians (and me).

At what point will the USA admit their embargo was and is a huge fuck-up and an embarrassment? It’s become a symbol of how full of crap we are. Has it been fifty years of this?

p.s. I looked it up because I’m dumb, it’s been SIXTY-SIX YEARS. It’s even older than me.

All the USA had to do for a fantastic ally by now is stop being an asshole. We could at least return the illegally seized Guantanamo Bay, which is kept just to insult them, really.
