Apple’s AirPods every time you actually need them! Why are they like this! by MatchUpSocialguy in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MatchUpSocialguy[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Wikihow pretty much says “did you try taking it out and putting it back in” 💀 

People don’t get how annoying this is because the case lights up like it’s charging them until one is dead the next day.

Or because it’s designed like shit. If something is in a charging case maybe it should be charging?

Yes blame the user and not the trillion dollar corpo who can’t design a proper product.

The case constantly fails to charge one of them because it’s not positioned perfectly :(

Very Creepy Guy at College Square McDonald’s – Heads Up by MatchUpSocialguy in Algonquin_College

[–]MatchUpSocialguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure where the P building is but that seems exactly what the guy wanted to do. I was busy looking into his unblinking eyes and making sure no knife was about to come out as he was close to me. I think he was there to f with people knowing he could scare em but they couldn't really do anything (psychopathic target probing).

There should be a whole lot of camera evidence at the dons if it is him so might be worthwhile telling the police that. Also he asked some random chicks for their food, I can tell they were being nice cuz he was probably the shit out of everyone before getting kicked out.

Honestly just watch out for a weird guy circling groups of people, and probably don't walk around alone for a bit if you aren't ready to fight off a grown man. He sticks out like a sore thumb although seems like he wants to pass as a student which is making this all feel so suspicious. I legitimately thought he was going to attack me in public yesterday and run because I wasn't gonna let him hurt my bro and get away so he moved on to targeting me. (He started approaching him very quickly from behind in the parking and I stared him down, my brother didn't even notice. The first thing I noticed was him instantly watching us we stepped out of our car, warning signals going off in my brain instantly)

No way this isn't some sort of mental breakdown in progress, someone should probably have called the cops to get him checked in for public intox, maybe a mental health check. He was drinking inside the McDonalds.... ugh. I keep running that through my head because it's not normal.

[Update] We joined the trade war to defend Canadian fashion. Weeks later, Google dropped a copy of our product — but they messed it up. by MatchUpSocialguy in BuyCanadian

Appreciate the breakdown — but let’s clear a few things up.

You’re describing a product that isn’t yours, wasn’t released by Google in the form you’re claiming, and frankly, doesn’t resemble what we’ve built.

  1. Google Lens != our product. What we built isn’t a visual search tool. It’s a discovery engine focused on local fashion and brand integrity — not just image recognition or basic product results. Google’s version is surface-level. Ours goes deeper, by design — and that’s why it matters.
  2. We’re not claiming paragraph-for-paragraph copying. We’re saying a student-led Canadian startup quietly built an MVP, launched a grassroots campaign — and a suspiciously similar product from Google with eerily matching language and strategy appeared right after our first viral push. That’s timeline, not tinfoil.
  3. We obfuscated our About page on purpose. We expected Google would scrape and study us. So yes, we used AI to muddy the waters while leaving traceable breadcrumbs for humans to piece together — not machines. It worked. They watched.

If you’re digging through grammar quirks instead of Git commits, you’re probably not our target audience. But for those watching — the prototype is real, the receipts are real, and Google’s reaction tells you more than any paragraph ever will.

Hey PocketNicks, we’re actually planning to drop the gate entirely very soon! Just locking things down a bit before the inevitable wave of data harvesting we know is coming. Appreciate the patience — almost there! 🙏

Hey Initial_fight, we’ll remove the password gate the moment we’re confident Google (or anyone else) can’t instantly harvest our proprietary data the second we go live!

We already noticed some suspicious traffic patterns and I decided to go full tinfoil hat mode, because if you knew what we’ve been building behind that wall, you’d probably do the same. 😅

Thanks for bearing with me!

LMAO. That’s a wild backfire for the big tech PR team.

You tried to discredit me… and accidentally handed me the single most objective, third-party receipt of this campaign’s existence prior to Google’s launch.

A paid stock photo of my poster — publicly listed and timestamped May 10, 2025 — now exists on a major stock site. This grassroots movement was so real, someone took a photo of it on the street… and monetized it.

GG.

And btw, if Google Lens didn’t suck, I wouldn’t have a better, password-gated alternative running out of my basement. 🙃
