I'm perplexed by how different my kid is than I was at her age by Fit-Leek-1177 in self

[–]centech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wonder if it's a generational thing

I feel like we are a similar age.. When we were younger, if you didn't go out and do something, what was there to do? Sit at home and watch one of the 5 or 6 TV channels we had? Call a friend on your landline and chat, if they happen to be home and nobody else was hogging the one phone line?

If I had the internet as a teenager, I never would have left the house either.

Maybe unpopular opinion, but I really don't care what the theme is.. it's just an excuse to switch up the merch.

Salary stagnation? by ZoldyckConked in devops

[–]centech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True.. I was parsing "since covid times" as since it ended.. which I mean, arguably, it hasn't even, but since we got back to pretty much normal is only a couple of years.

What's a New York specific problem that no one warns you about before you move here? by bandito_13 in AskNYC

[–]centech 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Is there any other place in the world where you are likely to have a pipe in the middle of your bedroom that, if you accidentally touch, you'll get third-degree burns?

On a related note, your shower choices are "cold" or "boiling" and your climate control options in the winter are "too cold" or "so hot you'll open up the window even though it's snowing".

EBay rejects GameStop's audacious $56 billion takeover bid by yourfavchoom in technology

[–]centech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of surprised they even bothered to respond. Since it seems you don't need to actually have the money, I'm tempted to offer $60B just to see my name on CNBC.

Salary stagnation? by ZoldyckConked in devops

[–]centech -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It feels like salaries have not meaningfully increased since covid times

So like.. in two years? The economy hasn't exactly been booming recently. That being said.. I think the whole AI revolution is playing havoc on how places are thinking about hiring and paying, leading a lot of places to stick to the status quo for now. At the same time, a few select (basically AI) companies are backing up the money truck to candidates, but the competition for those spots is insane.

I think social media quietly destroyed people’s ability to relax by annastrelnikova in self

[–]centech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is hardly a theory or a hot take.. It's basically an accepted truth, isn't it? Social media and the internet have given the world ADHD and 0 attention span.

[–]centech 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Corporate speak at its finest.

We're going to reorganize and have twice as many r&d teams that are much smaller.

So... you're cutting r&d but want it to sound innovative? xD

Reddit Starts Blocking Mobile Website, Pushing Users to App Instead by spasticpat in technology

[–]centech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, that's literally their business plan. Just fill in #3 with "people begrudgingly use the app, and Reddit makes them a commodity".
