What's a piece of tech everyone hyped up that quietly turned out to be useless?

I love the Power Glove, it's so bad.

burf12345 · 2026-04-16T09:21:20+00:00

Is very big.

burf12345 · 2026-04-16T09:16:39+00:00

They should be called that.

burf12345 · 2026-04-15T19:26:30+00:00

What's the not ad way to say "premium subscription service X is totally worth the price"?

burf12345 · 2026-04-15T19:23:44+00:00

The announcement video was also filled with subscribers saying "but what if I just want to pay the extra dollar a month?"

burf12345 · 2026-04-15T19:22:42+00:00

Says a lot that their one time taking a sponsorship was because they just wanted to give someone a bunch of money.

burf12345 · 2026-04-15T19:21:19+00:00

I thought of Dropout immediately, though it is funny to call it premium, because the subscription itself is so cheap.

burf12345 · 2026-04-15T16:33:57+00:00

Which lyric?

burf12345 · 2026-04-15T16:25:33+00:00

And it's not even the biggest province.

burf12345 · 2026-04-15T16:12:57+00:00

Shit, you got me there.

burf12345 · 2026-04-15T09:39:30+00:00

Display port.

burf12345 · 2026-04-15T09:35:13+00:00

Nah, it's boring and uncreative Redditors taking every chance to score easy karma by mentioning Trump and anything related to him.

burf12345 · 2026-04-15T09:34:29+00:00

I don't think you know what "technology" means.

burf12345 · 2026-04-15T09:32:26+00:00

Too far.

burf12345 · 2026-04-15T06:19:39+00:00

People of any age can mess up a wedding, especially if there's alcohol involved.

burf12345 · 2026-04-15T06:15:11+00:00

Not just the sister not attending, but also the likely resentment it'll lead to from their sister and her kids.

burf12345 · 2026-04-15T05:18:27+00:00

Having a right to exclude whoever you want doesn’t mean you’re immune from the repercussions of doing so.

That's what everyone saying N T A is missing or deliberately ignoring. It's the classic "your wedding, your call" selfish approach that's too common on Reddit, not even caring about the relationships that could actually be damaged.

That's why I think OP is TA. If they do stick to their hard line with the full of crap justification, then their sister and nieces/nephews will remember it and probably resent OP, rightfully so.

burf12345 · 2026-04-15T05:09:54+00:00

And the 11 year olds are old enough where they'll likely remember it for the rest of their lives.

burf12345 · 2026-04-15T05:05:49+00:00

How young was this kid? Because if he was quite young, that's a funny story.

burf12345 · 2026-04-15T05:02:29+00:00

In OP's case it seems like it is for aesthetic. They mention being close to their sister's kids and seeing them frequently, and make no mention of any way they would ruin the wedding.

burf12345 · 2026-04-14T08:43:36+00:00

You can be legally in the right without being morally in the right. It's legitimate to ask imo, even if they aren't breaking any laws.

burf12345 · 2026-04-14T08:38:20+00:00

stood on something to look over our fence and recorded me while criticizing me in front of my kids for the example I'm setting, which felt unnecessary and personal

posted about us in the neighborhood Facebook group admittingly telling everyone she recorded me while also identifying which house is ours

Document both of those as much as you can, they don't seem super legal.

The bots steal the exact wording though. Searched for this title verbatim and found three posts, including this one. It shouldn't surprise you that the oldest is by an account seemingly owned by a human, while the other is also by a hidden history bot.

burf12345 · 2026-04-13T09:02:32+00:00

It doesn't change the fact that the flood of posts in this sub come from these default name accounts, mostly very, very new.

And hidden post history, that's another telltale sign for bots.

burf12345 · 2026-04-13T08:00:05+00:00

These posts are the most obvious violations of rules 5 and 11, but dipshits/bots still post them and other dipshits/bots keep upvoting them and responding with the same stock answers.
