Lot of people in my town with “party plates”. Yellow plate with red letters to signal to cops that you are a frequent DUI fiend. No clue how youend up with those instead of just having your license revoked

Still meet plenty of people who drink beer in the car

Yeah i hate being high at work. Happened a couple times bartending/serving where my edible lasted a lot longer than i expected. I don’t do functionaly high

Thats what they said 8 years ago when they released a 90 minute demo.

Star Citizen is a grift. It always has been, it always will be.

It’s a company that has taken in hundreds if millions of dollars for something that they know will never materialize into an actual game.

We had a really confident businessman come into my rural college town 6 years ago with a big development plan that was going to revolutionize the downtown. He graduated from the local college 20 years ago and was supposedly some hot shot businessman in Miami now. He brought in all these local investors, signed agreements to purchase the land once the city gave him approval and grants, “purchased” a house and some other properties that were going to go along. He took up several city council meetings wherre he brought in his big design plans, feasibility studies, and everything else. But everytime he had to show he had the funds to get approval for development,he hemmed and hawwed and asked for an extension.

It turns out, he had made a similar pitch to quite a few other small towns. The house he “purchased” he actually was just renting, and then sub-renting it out while he was “out of town on business”. He didn’t put any of his own money in, relying instead in local businesses and landowners who signed him onto their deeds or gave him right to first refusal on their deliapadated properties. His 'feasibility studies" all came from a firm no one could find any actual information about. Fortunately no one really lost anything beyond a lot of time and legal fees backing out if his bad faith contracts, but it’s established that the “developer” was really just a conman trying to grift the town. A scam.

Star Citizen is no different than any of the metaverse crypto scams from 4 years ago, it’s just a bit more polished and at a grander scale. If you think that $800 million to develop a half-backed game that doesn’t deliver on any of it’s fundamental promoses isn’t a scam, then i would love to pitch my riverfront development project to you when you have the time.

It’s ok to admit you bought into a scam…

I’m not paying for it, my boss is

I recently started as a graphic designer despite knowing absolutely nothing about it, so i am constantly searching how to do stuff in Adobe suite at work. Half the time Google’s AI can’t even keep “Cmnd” and “ctrl” straight, telling me to use’ “cmnd+shift+H” on Windows or “ctrl+shift+H” on Mac’. I don’t even know how it botches that, but it does it about 25% of the time.

Biden deported over twice as many people as Trump in his first term

What models are youseeing where things are 99% correct? Google’s search chat bot can’t even keep Windows vs Mac hotkey commands straight.

So then what’s the use of the program if it uses a bunch of energy to just make shit up?

Why would New York cops go after their own like that?

God what i would do for a beautiful French woman to call me a good bye while she puts a cigarette out on my chest

If i let my friend keep stolen property at my house, i am aiding a criminal. Why is Amazon exempt from consequences when someone they take a cut from a sale they allowed someone to make on their website?

Supposedly Musk and Grimes started dating because they are both way into Roko’s Basilisk. So of course Musk is trying to actively create such a threat.

My uncle’s outback looks like a video slot machine, and everything had to be done through the touchscreen. But to add insult to injury, the Subaru touchscreens are super slow and unresponsive, so they feel like they aren’t working.

But what else are they going to out on their 24 hour news channel?

'Why do we need a backup when we have a RAID?"

The accounting head when you try to explain that your backup systems are woefully insufficient.

Finally! A community to share my true feelings about Yinzers!

Oh joy. I already have to deal with printing crap people didn’t know how to make properly in Publisher or Canva. I’m super pumped to get emailed an excel file and asked if i can print off as a business card
