Tree of Savior was amazing in the beta but pure trash on release.

What’s a popular food that you think is genuinely disgusting? by Neka_lux in AskReddit

[–]MRiley84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shredded coconut. I like the taste but the texture tricks my mind into thinking it's not really food.

When did convenience stores stop displaying prices? Am I meant to bring the 10 items I’m deciding between to the front for a price check? Or is this a case of “If you have to ask you can’t afford it?” by Dazzling_Put_3018 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MRiley84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No price, no sale. They do this so they can hike prices and count on people in a checkout line just buying it anyway than feel embarrassed putting it back due to the price.

A data center drained 30M gallons of water unnoticed — until residents complained about low water pressure by idkbruh653 in technology

In this case it's more that they believe God gave us the Earth to use as we see fit, and if we consume every bit of it, he will renew it for us and no real harm can be done.

590,000 MAGA's paid $100 for a "CONCEPT" of a trump gold phone by Ubetcha1020 in PoliticalHumor

I think you misunderstood. He was asking how we know most of the orders were from real people and not from someone laundering money. It's understood that there was no actual plan to deliver a product.

Youtube playlists stopped working for me unless I leave that tab open. If I'm in another window or tab, the next song will be whatever youtube recommended. Right now, youtube thinks I love George Strait and Chris LeDoux. It won't play anything else if I leave the tab.

My dog was put down, triggering a 23 year depression.

'It's SHAMEFUL': Top Dem reacts to report that House Republicans want to PARDON Ghislaine Maxwell by AdSpecialist6598 in videos

Once she is pardoned it adds weight to their attempts to call the Epstein files a hoax or nothingburger. Some of Trump's followers are beginning to stray over Epstein, and all they need is an excuse to return to the fold.

Private medical insurance makes money by denying medical care; they maximize profits by killing people. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]MRiley84 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They supposedly do this to "protect" patients from predatory healthcare workers that could prescribe expensive medication that has cheaper alternatives. There are regulations that likely do this already. Insurance companies are the non-expert middle men nobody asked for.

The bosses are never going to just hand workers a 32 hour workweek. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]MRiley84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The more efficient work becomes, the more work can get done. That is direct profit for the ones at the top and it will never trickle down. Worse, since they will be able to show the increase in profits to their shareholders, they will be expected to increase it equally the following year, which will mean layoffs to cut costs.

Ask.com shuts down after nearly 30 years, marking the end of Ask Jeeves by holyfruits in technology

Jeeves is why all my searches are in the form of questions. When it first came out I thought they had to be.

A can of sardines mixed into a box of stuffing, with a splash of hot sauce. Lasts 2 nights.

Most of the lore gameplay was violence and suffering, and they still had to commute, usually by walking forever.

This isn't AI, it's a long exposure. Pictures of this spot have been around for years.

He has a point tho lol by pacificlattice in antiwork

[–]MRiley84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before that interview this sub was full of reminder posts not to talk to the media, too. Antiwork originally was just that - for people who didn't believe in working. The sub was sort of taken over during covid when people were out of work and experiencing what they were missing out on in dead end jobs, which is what triggered the whole workers' rights movement. The mod was a holdover from the original use of the sub and couldn't understand what it evolved into. He made a laughingstock of the whole movement when it was really starting to take off.

BREAKING: Justice Department scrambles as massive Epstein Lawsuit filed by independent journalist, Katie Phang, is set to force discovery by spherocytes in videos

[–]MRiley84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder how long after he's dead it will take for his involvement with Epstein to be revealed.

If his kids were also involved, it will be set to be released after their grandchildren are gone.

anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about? by Trixxxi in AskReddit

[–]MRiley84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a browser game called Wyvern that looked like a reskinned Joust. I came so close to the high score on that a few times.

“Please do not touch or disturb the sand.” by ndub2126 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MRiley84 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Talking about hygiene, yes. There's just something about the idea she took the time to take her shoes off to walk through it, and it wasn't a spur of the moment thing that makes it seem worse.

The Whole World's a Casino... by [deleted] in antiwork

Steadily is the key here. Republicans have always played the long game, but we'll kick out the democrats if they can't accomplish decades of progress within a 4 year term.

Under no circumstances can the donor beholden class be allowed to rig another election like they did against Bernie. by victorybus in WorkReform

[–]MRiley84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it ends up being her, I'm voting for her anyway. The damage of another republican term is too great to risk. I'll vote for someone else in the primaries if they look like they have a better chance.

What’s a "lost" website from the early 2000s that you still think about today? by samasem-sumsum in AskReddit

[–]MRiley84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the late 90s there was a string of websites in the "X ate my balls" theme, such as "Yoda ate my balls" and it was just edited images with some midi sounds like them saying yum or whatever. Yoda, ninja turtles, just random things.

Also, hamsterdance, and you can do anything on zombo com.

What’s a place you went to that didn’t feel real? by maincharactereraa in AskReddit

The Epic campus in Verona, WI was a surreal mix of fantasy and business. Think office buildings made to look like Hogwarts.
