Their hands are human.

I think I might have this too, because I’m often attracted to people that others tell me are ugly. I also struggle to recognize someone if they alter something about their regular appearance (like not wearing a hat when they normally do, for example), unless I know them on a personal basis.

FWIW I can still tell the difference between a 8/10 and a 3/10 when it comes to attractiveness. But my scale seems different from others. I actually find people that are usually considered a 10/10 to be less beautiful than a solid 7. There is a threshold where a person becomes “too pretty”, and I’m repulsed by it.

I’ve literally never seen ads in my copy of Windows 11 ever.

O&O Shut Up 10 is extremely effective at putting a stop to this bullshit.

I didn’t know they offer same day shipping on mail-order brides now.

But they’re not animated bears so what’s even the point?

It’s not; literally no carrier forces you into a shitty contract anymore.

Short answer: America.
Long Answer: Because American companies are so greedy that they won’t even pay a livable wage; they expect working class citizens to pick up the slack with tips in every industry they can get away with doing such a thing. All thanks to the policies of a long dead president from the 80s (Reagan), that were never rolled back. In other words: America.

Then don’t use Uber. Like I said, self-driving cabs are best. No route fuckery to run up the meter, because they always take the most efficient path. I am aware that not every city has these yet, but that’ll change within a few years.

Yeah but it’s cheaper than a taxi, and the best part is that you don’t have to interact with a human, which means you don’t have to tip (if you book a self-driving car). Furthermore, if you practice good charging habits, you never have to worry about a dead phone.

In the middle of nowhere, maybe. But I’ve been on several road trips across the state and had service the entire way, mostly LTE with a few spots of 3G here and there. As long as you’re near the highway or a town, you’ll get service.

Google is what the Fox network was in the 90s and 2000s.

No.

What country is this from? That’s a rather confusing nutrition label; serving size is 15g but they show the nutrition facts for a 100g serving? It would make more sense to do the two column setup like the US does: show the info for one serving, and then the info for how much people actually eat (usually the entire package).

Never play Starfield; it’ll make you hate Bethesda, especially Emil Pagliarulo (the lead designer and writer of the story).

I used to feel the same way as you, until I played it. Now I have zero interest in anything Bethesda has coming out in the future. They’ve proven to me that they’re incapable of making a modern game with a good story. Only thing that would convince me to play another title of theirs is if they finally ditch Gamebryo and never let Emil in the writer’s room ever again, two things that’ll never happen.

4-6 year cycle? What year is it? I build new PCs on a 10 year cycle. It’s not the 80s and 90s anymore, where your PC was horribly out of date after two years. Advancements in processing speed have slowed down enough that a 8-year-old CPU and 5-year-old GPU can still be decent.

What, you don’t miss the days of motherboards with northbridge fans?

Yeah seriously that’s an ungodly amount of RAM for a PC of this vintage. My old WinMe machine had 128MB.

(And an 800Mhz PIII. I later added a GeForce 4 MX 4000 so I could actually play games at more than 15-20 FPS. It was my first graphics card purchase ever. Also upgraded to XP cause Me would BSoD so often that I never got a chance to do a proper shutdown at the end of the day. When the machine crashed, I was done for the day.)

OK Google/Siri is built into every smartphone, genius. They have the same spying features as Alexa.

To be fair, if you own a smartphone, you already carry one of these devices with you everywhere you go.
