That’s literally all of the Internet, not just Reddit. Everyone putting themselves in echo chambers and tuning everything else out. Modern Internet is just people wanting to be told they’re right and be showered with worthless affirmations.

Your feelings are not facts.

Being offended, doesn’t mean you’re in the right and the other person is in the wrong.

Just because your religion says something (or claims it does), doesn’t put you in the right.

As a US citizen. YES. FFS, the point of sanctions is to compel a change or deter an action. Americans might pay way more attention when the rest of the world puts us in timeout because of the terrible leadership.

Well, yeah. That’s literally the point of sanctions.

Rock and stone!

The Chadwich doesn’t even come with a side of guns. What is this weak beta shit.

Times change. You used to not be able to run Linux in Windows, but you can do that too.

Even if it is, at current rate, one day we’ll look back and go “remember when tipping was optional, and less than 100%, we were truly spoiled back then”

For me I hate phone calls because it’s someone demanding I drop what I’m doing to address whatever they want. Keep in mind, 99% of phone calls I get are at work form co-workers.

The number of “quick calls” that are actually quick I can count on 1 hand, and still have room for more. I have tasks to accomplish, things to do. And I’m spread so thin between all the things I do, there’s a fair chance I’m going to forget something about what you asked/told me. If it’s in text form I can review it when I loop back to it. You need me to check/validate/run something, cool. I have record of what, when, and if I completed it. Just because you have a question does not make it an emergency on my part.

As for my phone phone, the only folks who ever call me are either telemarketers or scams. If a friend called I’d probably answer (if I have the time). But I think most of my friends are in the same boat, we have so much to do these days (non-recreation) that it’s just not easy to find time. A lot of my friends have side-hustles or a second job or are in class (like me) in order to stay competitive. When I was a kid, I remember my parents could unwind at the end of the day, friends would just come over to hang out. It just ain’t like that no more.

I don’t know what you hope to accomplish with these memes other than pushing people to the right… Like is that the goal? Because it seems like that’s the goal. It’s a constant strawman fallacy with the same bullshit format the far right uses in their memes.

If those are regular old school incandescent bulbs connected to six lava lamps, and that light fixture is connected to a dimmer switch you may want to rethink that. You may want to check what the wattage for your dimmer is and if you don’t know I would recommend staying at or below 300 Watts total (more as a personal rule of thumb).

Man people will do anything not to drink Pepsi!

I’m afraid to ask how little it had before, because the amount i see are rookie numbers.

In my teens, I stole some CDs. This was pre-napster. I didn’t have money to spend bit it’s hard to deny the importance of music to people, especially in those formative years. I only took 2 maybe 3 total, because the guilt of taking it a CD each time wasn’t worth it.

To give you an idea of how much guilt, I don’t like people offering me food… Because it was theirs and now it’s not. The fact they offered it means nothing. (Of course, the reverse isn’t true)

Terrible idea. People clearly already struggling at naming kids. Coming up with a family name will be endless letters making the wrong sound, random sections being ‘silent’, so many puns or references to things, corporate advertising “oh it’s the X.com family!”… Terrible, just terrible.

GN doesn’t seem to have a problem holding their sponsors accountable, putting a story together, doing their due diligence, and then letting everybody know.

If only they had some medium to post the information, perhaps a medium that that VAST MAJORITY of their viewers use.

“But the plans were on display…”

“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”

“That’s the display department.”

“With a flashlight.”

“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”

“So had the stairs.”

“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”

“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”

Sometime in the future, assuming the human race even lasts long enough.

Basically when a world like Star Trek TNG exists.

All my stupid health problems could be fixed.

To be able to travel space would be great, to lay on the moon and watch the Earth. Go admire Jupiter (from a distance).

Work, not because I have to, but because I enjoy the challenge and want to better myself and humanity.

I know for the show they couldn’t really go all out, but I think being a holodeck author would be fun as a side hobby. Could be in a fun working out with whomever inspired you. Hands on learning, anything. Visit places you can’t (like surface of Venus). But also think of like what a video game would be like because you wouldn’t need a controller or VR headset you’re just there. So you could be a Space Marine. Or be Spider-Man! We’ve done reading books, we’ve done watching books, we’ve even done audiobooks… But there you could participate. Or maybe just be there and watch it unfold.

Yeah, most of those sites end up recommending the same brands over and over, which causes people to buy them and talk about them. I don’t want to say, a scam, but it feels… scummy.

They never talk about other brands like Ubiquiti. Which isn’t a perfect brand either, but I’ve never seen it compared. Or even a low end Netgate. It’s always TP-Link, Asus, Netgear, Linksys, or D-Link… the same brands that have existed for the last 20 years offering crap. But Ubiquiti, Hawking, Belkin, etc. you basically never see.

I just googled it. Top 3 sites were wired.com, pcmag.com, and reddit.com/r/HomeNetworking (with a top comment pointing to cnet.com and nytime.com). And if you guessed TP-Link was recommended no.1 on all of them, you’d be right. To me, with the absolute garbage reviews on all of them, and the stupidity small sample size, it feels like TP-Link just buys the reviews because customers will read the reviews and buy their garbage. There was a mattress company that did something very similar years ago. The deck is stacked against customers.

And especially scummy, is TP-Link offers some cheaply made, highly marked up garbage that underperforms. They also are notorious for not delivering consistent updates to their routers. Maybe one or two updates, and they certainly don’t care if all the features don’t work. Just looked up one I bought from them before I wised up, the Archer C5400. 2 updates on a $200 router, that came highly recommended. Checked the v2, and also just 2 updates. I doubt it’ll ever see another.

On top of their terrible support and pathetic hardware… they also moved to a cloud SaaS config model. They want you to sign up for an account and use TP-Link Tether. Here’s something written up 3 years ago on [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/tbthjj/psa_newer_tplink_routers_send_all_your_web/}

My general suggestion for most people who want something that just works and is easy to use… the Ubiquiti Dream router isn’t a bad option. It’s not the best, but if you don’t want to really get into how networking works, it’s a good option.

I mean if you surround it with chicken and some Alfredo instead of marinara you got yourself a pretty nice pizza.

But that’s not what they did. They must be one of those that throws broccoli into their spaghetti. Not on the side,… in.
