Lol, someone loves the taste of boots

Makes sense. I always figured I had a big brain.

People forget that basically everything about Trump’s campaign was copied directly from Reagan. Right down to the MAGA slogan

For added authenticity, they should exclusively employ members of Cosa Nostra as voice actors

Maybe it has a setting to gradually start the noise as well? It wouldn’t make a lot of sense for it to introduce the light gradually while also blasting you with the sound.

How do you know it wasn’t going off if you weren’t awake? I’ve had situations before where mine went off but my brain incorporated it into the dream I was having for a little while before waking me up.

It’s because of corporate greed. Anticheat is basically totally achievable on the server side, but that requires much more computing power. The idea of client side anticheat is to reduce infrastructure cost.

TEMU is pretty widely talked about as being a scam. Sorry you weren’t in the know.

I don’t mind fast food kiosks, but I really hate self checkout at the grocery store. It’s literally making me do the work someone else used to do for me of scanning and bagging items. It makes everything take longer. And if you fuck up even a tiny bit, it starts screaming that you are an idiot loud enough for the whole store to hear until an attendant comes to help.

Oh wow, I had no idea you could opt out. I flew to Paris recently and they were herding people like cattle through CDG and at no point was it clear that there was an opt out. Hell, it wasn’t even obvious I was about to have my face scanned until I stepped into a very claustrophobic chamber, the doors shut behind me, and it told me I needed to scan my face before I could walk out the other side of that chamber. In a moment like that, after being awake for 30 hours because some crotch goblins were screaming the entire flight, trapped in a pod the size of my closet, telling me to stand still and let the techbros steal your faceprint, my personal morals about facial rec were the last thing on my mind.

The ones in MS Teams are so cursed. I use it for work and I swear everything about that app is peak catering to boomers.

Because the dog ain’t no snitch

Does this allow you to bulldoze poor/minority neighborhoods in order to build a new highway? If I’m gonna parking lot sim, I want to be able to fully RP as Robert Moses

They are probably carbarians whose only conception of a grocery store is a supermarket surrounded by a moat of parking. I wouldn’t want one of those next to me either
