On a quick search I’m seeing displayport to HDMI adapters as cheap as $6 on Amazon and $2 on eBay.

I love the game I just hate having to build the houses and manage the people. It’s not creative it’s just make these boxes in this certain way.

Well I suppose I heard it in the old 1990s. Ya see yanglinn, there was a time afore the 'net.

Never heard someone say “I’d like to jump his/her bones”? It’s more rare now but it was a thing.

Most likely used to get discounts but you pay with your information.

You can get so fast at it surprisingly quickly. I keep trying to get friends to do it but they’re like “Nah that sucks.”

I swear almost anyone can get good at it inside a week.

What distance would you call a reasonable walk?

I wish we had European style water heaters at the tap. But that’s not safe. You should see what I find in hospital infrastructure.

And so we come to the eventual argument. An electric water heater is going to keep a jug of water in your house hot by running off and on all day forever. Where did that electricity come from?

Electric ain’t better if you have to replace it constantly. Think of the emissions to produce these parts.

Really well done in Nope.

2 possibly 1. It’s late and I’m drunk.

Maybe I’m wrong but I’ve got the horrible feeling that once Gabe dies the enshittification begins.

I fuck planes yo

They’re tryin to build a prison…

My go-to was the ovens have already entered shutdown mode and cannot be restarted. There was no such thing of course.

They did it for me last time is the bane of all service jobs. I managed a pizza place for years that would sometimes get up to over 200 food products per hour. You could see about the first 20 of them at a time on the screens. There was no way to indicate modifications that weren’t available in the POS. I personally trained every new employee on phones and till.

I would tell them you’re going to talk to a lot of assholes. There will be the person that wants extra cheese on their cheesesticks. You have to tell that person no. You cannot sell anything that can’t be entered into the computer.

Every day during the insane dinner rush I’d either get employees coming over to say hey extra cheese on the cheesesticks on order 215. We’re on order 175. There is no way those cheesesticks are going to get extra cheese.

No time to correct the employee, no time to call the customer back. Or the other which was worse. The customer would escalate the call to me. “They did it for me last time!”

I’m stuck on the phone with this piece of shit and I can’t be firefighting. The fires grow. Sometimes they get so bad we have to stop production to get back on track. This means we get so far behind that I’ll have to stay an extra hour or two to right the ship. For no extra pay. The customers get pissed as the wait and delivery times increase. Escalations to management increase. The whole place is engulfed in flame. Next thing I know I’ve been there for 12 hours for no extra pay.

Wasted my fucking mid 20s to early 30s there. It permanently ruined my mental health. It turned me into an alcoholic.

I could rant endlessly and I have so many stories.
