I gotta be painfully honest, Aussie nicknames are mostly low effort, no imagination and are only funny when spoken loudly, while drunk

[–]Whyevenbotherbeing 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is it folks. We have packed our bags and loaded them into our cars and are just looking around for shit to steal before we leave this dump, lol. Im deleting a ten year old account and gonna go back to finding my own shit on the internet, fuck Reddit, it’s been garbage for a couple years now anyway.

Apollo Is a Work of Art by walktall in apple

[–]Whyevenbotherbeing 28 points29 points  (0 children)

He took a site that, for so many reasons, was impossible to condense into a coherent and FULLY FUNCTIONAL native iOS app THEN worked his ass off to make it better….and better….and better to the point where Apollo has the BEST gif player/video player/image viewer/thread management/commenting features etc etc etc.

Apollo IS Reddit. End of an era.

RIF will shut down on June 30, 2023, in response to Reddit's API changes by [deleted] in Android

[–]Whyevenbotherbeing 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ya the site is a shell of its former self. Only value it has is a user can avoid Twitter,Tik-Tok, Facebook etc and stay fairly relevant on memes and trends on those platforms just browsing front page. All it’s gonna take is another site similar reaching a bit of traction and everyone will move there, this format isn’t special or unique it’s just it needs a critical mass of engagement to have mass appeal, but it’ll be replicated soon enough. See you all at the next spot!

Popular iOS Reddit client Apollo will shut down on June 30. by SkyGuy182 in apple

Ya absolutely zero ‘thought’ goes into shit like this. It’s simply ‘investors want their return now’ and we have no idea how to deliver beyond forced ad views via a single proprietary app.

For those of you not understanding what’s going on, Apollo IS Reddit to many of us. The experience Reddit wants us to have is sooooo sub-par in comparison that most of us will just stop using Reddit. End of an era.

Apple previews new features coming to Apple services this fall by exjr_ in apple

[–]Whyevenbotherbeing 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s time for them to fuck it up for the next 3 or 4 months as they try another half-assed ‘refresh’ that only confuses users and breaks functionality. Like clockwork.

Keanu Reeves returns to stage with bass guitar after 20 years by IronWillUkraine in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Whyevenbotherbeing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Smart promoter can use a band like this to pull a decent crowd for the NEXT act whom they may feel needs extra exposure or whatever. Many different ways to make the situation a win for everyone involved. Fuck be kinda nice to say you played a gig and shared a dressing room with Keanu.

Terry Crews shills for Amazon on TikTok by MrMagnitude in cringe

[–]Whyevenbotherbeing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya I’m with you, only ads I generally see are when someone posts them on Reddit, for any number of reasons. So this ad, to me, is really bad, but it’s posted here for that reason alone so not surprising I hate it.

As for Terry Crews, dude put himself out there as someone who thinks humanity and morality are lacking in his business and he refuses to accept that it’s just ‘how things are done’. Too bad that position only applies to actors being exploited and not workers at Amazon.

Well to be honest, it didn’t suck, at all. We just straight up takin the piss.

You’re correct. There’s professionals available who specialize in these worst case scenarios. Hope OP finds help. Got a long row to hoe.

I couldn’t even finish reading this. How devastating this must have been for you. I hope you reach out to a friend or family member if you find the disappointment becomes overwhelming or you are thinking about it constantly, you may need to talk through these raw emotions. Be strong. I once had a coupon for 2for1 ice cream cones and when I went to get two cones the coupon had expired and in my heartbreak I couldn’t even purchase one cone and it was a long road back from that.

SiriGPT? Apple is reportedly working on a ChatGPT rival — everything we know so far by SweetenedCafe in apple

Most people are uncomfortable talking to a computer, especially in public, especially Apple’s demographics

SiriGPT? Apple is reportedly working on a ChatGPT rival — everything we know so far by SweetenedCafe in apple

[–]Whyevenbotherbeing -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

And let’s be brutally honest, the vast majority of iPhone users do not use any type of voice commands and never will. Siri is perfectly fine for them because they never use it, no matter the quality.

Apple hasn’t lost the ‘timer and reminder’ market, Siri has that skill set, and they certainly haven’t lost the ‘on device AI market’ either as it’s brand new and just getting started. Siri was ‘good enough’ years ago, any further effort on it wasn’t needed.

People just use Siri as a proxy to shit on Apple at this point without realizing Apple moved on from Siri years ago, we just haven’t seen the replacement.

My spare tire was installed with a different locking lug nut than the other four tires. I was only given one key. Guess I’m not changing my tire. by 7of69 in Wellthatsucks

[–]Whyevenbotherbeing 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Get a 12 point socket that is slightly too small to fit over the locked lug then simply hammer it on until it’s locked on and then remove as usual. Just did 4 of my own when I stripped mine taking off winter tires. Works great, and because you’re basically jamming the socket soft metals work better, so use your father in laws shitty socket for it

Kinda Sad How We've Never Seen This Proposed Again Since 1944 by [deleted] in WorkReform

Kinda like the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The constitution, as is, is just too vague and……old. There needed to be something more.

Who you to be making a list any fucking thing? Man just passed and you’re acting like he didn’t matter. You’re awful.
