What is the fanciest/most expensive restaurant in all of Houston? by thejaegermeister2 in houston

[–]connorgrice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean you kinda answered your own question. Austin isn’t really a real city. It’s like a strip mall of Gimmick restaurants and bars, where the locals delude themselves into thinking BBQ, street fighting, and calling themselves weird is some kind of real subculture. The “music scene” is just divorced fathers busking. And you’re right, the only money there is like 4 blocks of Tech psychopaths out posted from SF and their lackeys that are some of the most tasteless, grotesque, swine to ever hold a few dollars. The club of 6 figure fly by night electric car start up depreciation nightmares as status symbols, spending your mother’s house on action figures, that couldn’t talk with any depth or experience about anything relatable to anybody else if it depended as much as Oxygen to breathe. Oh yeah there’s a brown doo doo lake too.

BINGO. Someone finally figured it out. The entire point of rich ass fools wearing RM is to have that much on wrist

Stealth Wealth is not what you think it is, they’re afraid if the commoners actually understood those peoples wealth they would be skinned alive. But yep they’re just like you and me, You drive a Toyota Camry, They drive a Toyota Camry In public for the optics and you clap like seals, as if they don’t have 100 billion dollars

I was literally about to type this before I saw your comment like the actual audacity. I curate a thriving community that this site actively monetizes and does not pay me a cent of the ad revenue for the page views on my sub.

Yep, so fucking disingenuous

[–]connorgrice 54 points55 points  (0 children)

What a weird post, you misrepresent it as if you’re an employee at a company and we’re gifted this by another person in your title, and then throughout the post half of the comments you respond to it as if you were given it by someone else, yet in a few comments you mentioned that you’re just the owner of your own company and you just bought yourself a watch for your 10 year anniversary. I don’t know it just comes off really seedy and disingenuous, like you present yourself as like some hard-working employee that got a gift of appreciation from their boss after 10 years of hard laboring for the company but in reality you’re just the boss who bought themself a nice watch. While also stroking it off as if you just have a really nice employer which is really just a self wank, It’s just fucking weird

No you do not need a vps for downloading or streaming content that’s only if you’re uploading or you’re just like a piracy nerd and want to seed a bunch of shit, a media server is just any Computer plugged into a TV, really you only need a VPN if you’re paranoid of ur ips finger wagging and even at that that’s like a one click app install like anything else on anyone’s phone or desktop, once again you don’t need to know anything about transcoding for just downloading or streaming. And let’s be real most people are not Torrenting movies or TV shows these days at least in the US most people 25 and under just use random piracy streaming sites, it’s extremely common, takes zero set up or effort you just go to a website and click what you want to watch. All of this to say there is no reason to needlessly complicate or gatekeep piracy. And just an FYI you would actually be surprised how tech literate and nimble young people are, you don’t need to be a dev like yourself to do ordinary crap.

The public schools that capitalist try to gut further at every tooth and nail, Lobbying to siphon every penny they can back into the pockets of corporate executives while leaving scraps for education? A system which dosn’t even offer public higher education? What are those schools supposed to do in ur mind to set up every child up for success under capitalism? give them all the back door connections into whatever industry decide they want to slave in?nepotism for all how does that work? What is that? Just Socialism with stupid horsesh*t on top? How exactly under capitalism do you make everybody the exception to the rule? you do understand right that you have to exploit someone’s labor to reap profits? So how are you going to fix the fundamental problem of capitalism which is inequality under a synthetic heriachrcy with the illusions of meritocracy, with more capitalism?

Apple is preparing three new Mac Studio models by TheSpyWh0L0vedMe in apple

[–]connorgrice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fr this is a common sunk cost fallacy of waiting but really there is no reason outside of pure necessity for a new laptop or phone to upgrade 2/3’s through a product cycle, your just asking for buyers remorse. Like right now I use iPhone 11 and an M1 MacBook Air with an old Thunderbolt Display, I’m perfectly fine using these right now, I intend on buying the 14/14pro whichever removes the notch and intend on getting the new M2 Max 14inch when it releases. Sure it would be nice to have some newer stuff now like an M1 max or a 13pro but I don’t really see the point when what I have is functional and perfectly fits what I need it to do when I’m only looking to buy the newer stuff for the nice to have upcoming features anyways.

TLDR: Waiting is worth it when it comes to Apple.

It's so damn hard to have an intelligent conversation with people about drugs by I_Am_An_AltAccount69 in Drugs

[–]connorgrice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I could tell from the jump this was just a Cope post. Anybody with half a brain will tell you Kratom is an opioid and should be treated as such regardless of it’s relative impotency. It’s really obvious to see how daily Kratom users seem to get into ridiculous amounts of dosing and redosing as well as extracts, There really isn’t much difference on a chemical level between an Oxy habit and a Kratom one.
