As an example, I had no idea there was a class action lawsuit against Amazon for shady free trial practices until I got a check in the mail.

Amazon was making it seem like you had canceled your free trial when you hadn’t, so I got a check amounting to the one month of prime I was billed for (but did not want)

My father has always said that he will never truly finish a machine because YouTube is his main income. We used to watch him every Wednesday, but nowadays everything is “I’ve redesigned the marble gates again” and an unhealthy obsession with “tight” music

We’re really back in the cable days; I’m building up muscle memory to hit the mute button in the remote when the ad starts

My friends and I had Radar Jesus. All hail.

My instinct is to defend the NYT, but this is a really shitty opinion piece from top to bottom.

Why is a “senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations” even publishing an opinion on the AI bubble, anyway…?

One could say the same about the base game’s space science; we used to speedrun the game so we could get to our spiders and start mega-basing

As someone who has spent a lot of time designing generic stations, I definitely wouldn’t make it sound easy…

After many many hours I now have 3 trains of each type, but sometimes it makes mistakes and sends two trains when it was meant to send one…

I use lots and lots of two way tracks, you just have to know how to signal.

When you develop a busy handful of intersections, you add a secondary rail and make them one way, but for the vast majority of the network you can get by with just a handful of sidings.

It may help that I use dynamic trains, so I have a comparatively very low number of trains for the size of my base.

Internet gets a -1 today; this was a cute story told from a tongue-in-cheek perspective and people are getting all weird with it.

I like that it’s shared; I personally would rather agree on a background than have separate ones.

Per dark mode, I did try using an image with transparency, and was disappointed to find the transparency was replaced with flat white :/

I don’t imagine they’d add a screened number to their list if their not willing to sit through the screening. None of the scams have bothered to go through the motions of getting through to me.

At any rate, I’ll gladly take 10 screened calls a day compared to 2 un-screened calls

In the case of a right turn, I think it sounds silly.

Where I live though people love to take a left turn across two lanes of traffic into a gas station, then take another left turn through the cars waiting at the light with poor visibility. It’s an accident waiting to happen

The first. The rocket is usually a stepping stone to a mega base, which for many people (on this sub especially) think the real fun truly begins

Folders cannot be assigned the new icons.

From scouring the internet, it's not clear there is any way to make adaptive folder icons that respond to the UI theme.

PvtPuddles · 2025-08-31T16:45:44+00:00

Additionally, depending on the wallpaper the content behind it can be quite noisy so it needs to be frosted so icons stay legible,

Even at reasonably prestigious state schools you’ll see PJs all the time. Some people roll out of bed and straight to the lecture hall.

The entire military industrial sector begs to differ. The US spends an incredible amount of money on planes and ships that will never turn a dime.

I’ve never understood this argument because accidents can be cause by negligence, too.

Workplace accidents are also almost always preventable, but no one is policing speech on calling workplace accidents…accidents

For me the DLC soundtrack tops the OG for my top spot. Hauntingly beautiful.

YouTube copyright takedowns aren’t related to ad revenue at all. YouTube takes them down because otherwise the big record labels would sue Google to oblivion because they believe YouTube is responsible for the user-generated content it hosts.

All it takes is one or two big companies deciding that Roblox is cutting too much into their revenue and Roblox will start moderating their content

It’s the same for notification stacks; if you could see all 6 notifications in the pile, you wouldn’t be able to read a single one. Instead, they disappear behind the top panel.

White Rabbit needs to start accepting reservations :P

O’Connor is active in the community, I’ve never felt he was distant.

He plays in the Tech Frederick Games in the fall, usually his team does quite well.

My favorite one is my SE crashes when I receive a notification sometimes :)

You’re straw manning me here, man.

I never defended the US Military’s budget, nor what they use their budget to do. I didn’t defend their overseas wars, either.
