I’m sure there are some people who take advantage of returns and the restocking fee is there to dissuade them. But also I’m sure the retailers are trying to make some extra money on returns.

I’m really fond of using “I’mma” and “gonna”.

I obviously wouldn’t use these words in a professional document, but everywhere else I’mma use “gonna” and “I’mma” whenever I feel like it.

TNG “Devil’s Due”

Top notch in my opinion. The moment when Picard steps up to The Devil (Ardra) is one of my top moments of all time.

I think lots of people could identify with this episode due to it’s scifi content and it’s theological content.

Obviously TNG “The Inner Light” is literally one of the best television episodes ever to have been recorded, but it’s too much of a side quest to really introduce someone to Star Trek.

I’ve done this a bunch of times when camping.

Good, crisp apples are the best. A carbonated honeycrisp apple is amazing!!!

I was really hoping this would go into effect so I could sign up for a gym membership. I’ll never sign up with a gym again…Their cancellation processes are offensive and predatory.

The “click-to-cancel” rule would force gyms to allow you to cancel your gym membership as easily as you signed up for it.

For some reason these businesses are against losing the free money they get for making it hard to cancel subscriptions.

It’s been a law in Germany for three years now:

People who don’t drink water make me unnaturally irritated. It’s just so crazy. “I don’t breathe air because don’t really like the taste”.

I know I sound like an asshole. It shouldn’t matter to me what you do. It’s your body and your life.

Still…c’mon, like what? It’s water. It brings life. It’s the original thirst quencher. It’s what your body needs. Just drink it.

If this gif wasn’t in here I was gonna be upset!

I’ve considered growing a goatee and using stick on mutton chops to cosplay Thomas Riker at conventions.

PCs and all devices will become more locked down, with a small rebellious minority. Pretty much what we have today, but the divide will become greater.

All consumer devices are designed for the consumer to consume content. Music, Movies, Books, TV Shows, Web Sites, Social Media, Video Games…all of it. Very, very few people at the consumer level use computing power to perform complex calculations or process large datasets.

All of that content is someone else’s creation, and they want to get paid for their creation. Either by you directly purchasing/subscribing to what they’ve created, or via advertisers. Everyone has rent or a mortgage and bills to pay and they want to buy food and buy stuff for their kids.

Any time you sit in front of a screen, whether it’s a TV or a PC or a smartphone and begin to consume content, think about that. Whoever created what you’re looking at wants money, just like you want money.

So when a PC isn’t locked down to make sure you’re somehow paying for the content you consume, that upsets the entire supply chain that is delivering this content to your eyes and ears. They have to make sure they’re somehow getting paid…

Totally agree but for the opposite reason.

Wrasslin’ is very story driven. Not everyone has time to watch, and the sports news outlets is all spoilers.

It’s like a Harry Potter fan opening their news feed to “Snape kills Dumbledore after epic battle!” plastered all over the news on the day after the book came out. (my apologies to any Harry Potter fans who haven’t read all the books or seen all the movies by now, in 2025).

I know professional wrestling is as real as the MCU or the latest episode of Severance. I am still entertained by all three.

Wrestling winds up in the “sports” section because news outlets have to classify it somehow. That’s not the fault of wrestling fans.

There’s really no need in life to yuck other people’s yum. If it’s not for you, that’s cool.

Florida is purposefully trying to destroy it’s own public school system. They make being a public school teacher so undesirable, and then complain about a “teacher shortage”. Of course nobody wants to be a public school teacher in Florida. You can get fired for how you address someone?

I bet they’ll do it in Waterfall too.

Nah B. This will be Extreme Agile XP with testing exclusively in Prod. Xitter will be the code repository.

Google Assistant on Android and Home devices gets markedly worse as time goes on. My Google Home can barely even figure out how to turn on lights anymore. Things that used to be amazing have devolved into “I don’t understand”.

It’s really quite shocking and hurts a little bit because it feels like everything in the world is degrading and decomposing like in some dystopian novel or something.

How can such amazing technology get worse? Is it really just “we can’t make money off this”?

That song would work! Now to convince all the Taco Trucks to play the same song so we know when they’re around the corner.

“It’s Raining Tacos” would work.

The song is not public domain though.

Just to be clear I don’t want to own and run a Taco Truck, I just heard the Ice Cream Truck and wished it was a Taco Truck.

Seems like missed opportunity to me, though.

I stopped being excited for the Ice Cream Truck decades ago, but if I heard the Taco Truck coming around I’d be super excited and run outside with a big grin.

The answer to your question is right in your question.

“Logic”

Cold, hard logic no longer applies. Reality is manufactured now. Pointing out a logical fallacy doesn’t change anyone’s mind if that logic doesn’t coincide with their ideology.

Blaster Master on NES. I was so addicted. And then I got the NES Advantage controller and it was just pure Blaster Master bliss.

Seeing a lot of talk on here about keeping Standard or DST.

Oh my God for the love of all that’s holy just let them pick one!

I don’t care if the sun comes up at 2:00am or 2:00pm or even if the sun fuckin’ sets at 12:00 noon. Just pick a time and stick with it. Holy shitsnax.
