Shitposter while I tend to two babies. Maybe when I have my life back, I’ll help us get a few more niche communities back?

  • Isn’t “It’s not you, it’s me” the ultimate example of parallel sentence structure? Lol

    But let’s be real, it’s more like…

    💔 Here’s three reasons reasons we’re breaking up:

    • Our personalities don’t match-- according to (made up citation) people with you type are toxic.
    • Your idiology doesn’t match mine-- you don’t believe in White South African genocide.
    • We aren’t compatible-- our personalities aren’t complimentary.

    And so on. Lol














  • Apparently those flex requests aren’t about saving the environment; it mostly has something to do with power grids needing to operate at a certain range at all times and spikes in demand fucks with that. That is to say, if they increase the energy produced, they actually have other problems at times of reduced demand, like at night or winter time. I’m paraphrasing from a pretty brief thing I heard over the radio, though, so I’m sure it’s more complicated.

    They still cut corners and cause wild fires because they don’t update their tech and prefer to have things fail, though. Plenty of reasons to hate your private utility companies, lol



  • Full agree on the screw situation, although my most recent mobi addressed that with a sort of… turnable plastic lock thing? And a built in heatsink and “shield” for the gen 5 and 4 ports, so I haven’t had any issues with heat. I get the sense we’ll have a better standard as time goes in though, Gen5 is really really new.

    But even the gen 3s are lovely. Maybe I just hate SATA cables, haha.



  • Does anyone actually think it’s pro-capitalism? Though the social psych equivalent to this is just the concept of the harvesting dilemma and the main lesson is generally pro government regulation (regardless of economics). Social dilemmas like this apply to any common good everyone benefits from, be it air quality, military defense, public parks, public safety, etc. (when explaining, I use a few right wing examples too, even if I am a bit ACAB myself lol).

    Basically, they simply don’t exist without some form of social agreement not to be a shitty greedy asshole. Government being the most obvious way to control that.
