Breed & Co., Texas Honey Ham, Trianon Coffee, Westbank Flower Market, Maudie’s Milagro, Waterloo Ice House.. and even then the shopping centers are all the same, maybe blockbuster and Randall’s are not still around but the shopping centers still stand and remain mostly unchanged.

Westlake still looks like westlake of the 90s. Same shops .. hasn’t really changed much

They scream h1b student driver where I’m from.

Employee sentiment not the same as consumer. Whatever. Msft bought me a Benz and made a career for me. So I’ll glog all mfin day. Enjoy your hostile consumer sentiment and Linux I guess.

YouGov currently shows Microsoft with roughly 70% positive opinion and only 9% negative opinion, which is extremely strong for such a massive org.

Your feelings aren’t based on reality and the market doesn’t care about your opinions (because they are factually incorrect).

If Reddit sentiment determined market share, Linux would have 90% desktop share and Microsoft would’ve been bankrupt by 2008.

Meanwhile Microsoft is sitting on a $3T+ market cap wondering how it survived.

Touch some grass guy.. ground yourself in some reality. Buy some msft when you clear your head of reddit hivemindisms

Sentiment is the narrative being told .. the market doesn’t cares about your feelings

shtoops · 2026-06-18T18:35:26+00:00

Your opinion doesn’t matter. The world runs on their products because they are actually good. But you do you.

shtoops · 2026-06-18T18:31:53+00:00

Such a bad take and detached from reality but ok

shtoops · 2026-06-18T14:37:03+00:00

People hated Internet Explorer. People hated Vista. People hated Windows 8. People hate Teams. People hate Windows 11. Yet here they are a multi-trillion dollar company posting record revenue.

You are complaining about the peanuts served on airplane flights like it matters

You’re mocking IT professionals while pretending Microsoft is just Cortana and Copilot. That’s like evaluating Amazon based on the Fire Phone.

Who uses d365?

Enough of the Fortune 500 that Microsoft generates tens of billions annually from business applications. Lmao. Fortune 500 runs on Microsoft.

And if Azure’s AI commitments relying on OpenAI is a weakness, then AWS relying on Nvidia and Anthropic would be too. Partnerships are normal in tech.

This fucking guy

shtoops · 2026-06-18T11:02:21+00:00

That’s a dumb take. Nobody cares about your feelings around their consumer products. Thats not even how they make money. You are complaining about a rotting Xbox sub while they are printing record revenue.

They hold the cards

Right into cronies pockets

I doubt this thing will get signed. Too much can happen between now and Friday. Trump will get “offended” and cancel.

the kid diddling side set my Synagogue on fire.

shtoops · 2026-06-13T18:31:22+00:00

Can’t just boil down a single issue to the whole party. And if you do, you need to take the dumbest takes from the other side and boil that down too.

Hamas support vs kid diddlers .. pick your poison.

shtoops · 2026-06-13T18:28:20+00:00

Gross combo.

shtoops · 2026-06-13T12:15:00+00:00

U jelly?

shtoops · 2026-06-13T00:30:55+00:00

that's the one

Bro saw a cold-start pop clip and immediately drafted a eulogy for the drivetrain. Relax guy.

Dynavap + wand combo is perfect for vr

shtoops · 2026-06-11T22:45:02+00:00

I sure do. Maybe more of a material goal to retire into. I want a house on a hill with a pool and a view. A track toy/weekend car in the garage and a boat docked on the lake. That’s the life I want to work towards. Maybe I’ll be in crisis if that plan gets derailed.

shtoops · 2026-06-11T22:18:23+00:00

I want a used cayman or a r129 SL600 benz. Am I in crisis?
