Places that limit free refills only say that because people try to abuse the system and load up a gallon container.

Those places, channel your inner boomer and feigning ignorance if you're caught.

I don't understand why people use doordash or food delivery.

Especially people with limited funds.

Santa angry that you're not consuming and spending money on capitalism! Please keep shopping!

Only in Japan.

Doubt we can see it happening anywhere else because I can see in America, they can call that theft and a fireable offense. Can't retaliate without a union either. And can't be sued because the framing is still "stealing", which the court system LOVE defending corps when the small guy steals.

The police are a joke.

The Police Union is one of the strongest unions in the country - so powerful, they protect their workers who literally commit murder.

Then these same folks protect millionaires and harass workers trying to unionize.

There was a strike at my supermarket a few months ago, and some Nextdoor Karens' went:

"During the start of the school season?!"

Like it's not supposed to be CONVENIENT.

WordPress itself isn't a problem. Leach away my FOSS fans. Heck, customization up the wazoo. For a developer, it's really really easy to make it your own. A competent developer can be taught WordPress CMS and understand what's under the hood within a few weeks.

Contributing back to WordPress? Getting harder and harder with Matt being the biggest barrier.

It's becoming one of those scenarios like Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon. Fuck those companies. But I'll build apps on your platform and play by your stupid ass rules to earn a living while also giving you the finger.

WordPress does provide a rest API, so you can do headless WordPress. It's essentially your content/data in JSON. From that point, you can do whatever.

The issue is you still need a CMS, or use WordPress.

You don't know how gay my sleeping is.

Reminds me of the Michelin folks rating restaurants.

Or the Yamaha music folks making boats.

Mega corps!

I used to think that, as a tinkerer. Sorry for being jaded.

Then I got real into maker studios and all formed the same opinion: WE, the tinkerers, are a blip to companies that mass produce garbage. Apple used a fraction of a fraction of their budget to stop iRepair. And they're one of the biggest players.

Samsung/Amazon is huge and they don't care. Hell, they'll even sell the parts, as long as you buy it from them.

As long as we consume, they don't care if we set it on fire or make it work forever. They'll keep poisoning the world for profits.

Sam Winkler @ThatSamWinkler Follow Dark Souls revolutionized games, in the sense that instead of a story now you can just have some guy with a big SWord named Myrmidon of Loss who gasps "Zanzibart... forgive me" when he dies and then twenty YouTubers will make an hour long video about how deep your lore is

 

The games and their results

Hades 2 - Result: No data loss.

Still Wakes The Deep - Result: Absolutely fuckaw.

Cyberpunk 2077 - Result: Regret starting this pointless experiment.

Alien: Isolation - Result: Just glad this is over, to be honest.
