The Mosquito was a device for keeping teenagers away from the entrance of stores. It emits a tone so high, only yoots can hear it, us old fucks can’t hear it, lol.

Suicide rate about to chime in.

Hack n slash games: disable weapon “trails”.

I don’t need a motion blur the size of a city bus everytime i swing my weapon…

Oh honey, the last name isn’t the (main) problem…

AI Models Falter Answering Election Questions in Spanish.

I took care of one of my mother’s dogs, an overeater bordering on obese (the dog, my mother weighs 120 freedom units).

I went through about four different dog food brands before settling on RRs, apparently it’s good enough to eat when hungry, but not good enough to gorge.

So in short, I like her dog food because it’s adequate.

Short answer: I bite back now.

Long answer: My parents are hard-R Republicans. Every time they start getting all “demoncrats r bad” i just ask them, “Why do you want me dead so fucking bad? I know from being raised by you that you fucking hated me growing up, but to vote for “gays should be executed”? This is exactly why you didn’t have grandkids, the thought of putting more of your hate in the world is abhorrent to me…”

I’ve only had to pull that one out twice, so far, but it hits them hard when they still (I’m a few months away from 40) insist I “give them grandkids”.

And they still don’t know why I won’t “give them grandchildren”. I’m like “bitch, I’ve been there, now I get to have fun”.

For me it was when i switched from FPS to building games. I can’t keep up with these youts…

My childhood never really began. I was a toddler, then i was a mini adult, having to “watch your brother!¡!¡!” everytime my parents wanted to have fun.

I was one of those kids that adults said was “mature for your age”. Except, it wasn’t maturity, it was fear of my parents.

So for me, childhood ended the first time my parents told me to become a third parent for their child.

Yes I’m still bitter about it, so i won’t call out the down votes on this one

Google is an advertising company. Vertical integration ftw?

There’s got to be a better way to do cross posts. When people/bots crosspost, my “All” feed gets cluttered with multiple copies of the same post. Maybe something like a drop-down showing all the instances and communities it’s posted to.

Edited to fix autocorrect…

Did you bang my hwhore wife!?

“You’re just so fun and quirky!”

Until the novelty wears off and they realize that the fun quirks are just a filter I have to put on all the time so my dad’s personality doesn’t shine through.

As a textbook people-pleaser, yeah it’s exhausting being the fun new toy until i realize they are using me as a bang-maid…

How is Pillboi a hacker in Brooklyn all of a sudden?! (Nine nine!)

The ones I’m thinking of are usually live action dubs of non-English shows. It’s like the subtitles are a faithful translation of the source, where as the dialog seems more localized to better for how English speakers speak. Nothing wrong with changing the dialog to have it for better for other languages, but at least use that localized version of the script for your subtitles.

Some of the less mainstream anime does this too, but I’m not a big anime fan, so most of what I consume is the big stuff, Attack on Titan, Ghost in the Shell, Fullmetal

I do wish they would hire a human to give everything, at least, a quick once over. When the words don’t match the subs, it throws me off a bit…

Mazda recently surprised customers by requiring them to sign up for a subscription in order to keep certain services. Now, notable right-to-repair advocate Louis Rossmann is calling out the brand.

Services. Services!? What the actual fuck are you talking about!? Remote start isn’t a fucking service, it’s a feature, that they are trying to control through greed.

Edit: I will give a small concession to the remote remote start, as that does need an OTA service. The service of course shouldn’t be any more complicated than a SMS setup, so $15 per year is the absolute most you’ll be able to get out of me…

2nd edit: And you damn well better include free modem upgrades. None of this $50+ for a fucking map update shit the other companies are pulling. That shit should have been an OTA update, Christ knows the damn thing tries to find an open Wi-Fi…

Damn! I never even thought about sending it YouTube links. I might try doing that with some of those “retrospective” videos that are hours long.
