Holy shit. It does not get anymore brazen than this. He flat out called for the end of democracy. This is facsim plain and simple. This mimicks Hitler’s rise to power almost perfectly. Hell, even Texas is ready to roundup as many immigrants as possible and ship them out to god knows where. It’s sickening that this is what republicans and calling for when Trump wins the primary inevitably. Wake the fuck up people, this is happening.

I thought it might have been some kind of tea

I did all my time in single player because if I got to some dumb unoptimized/bug I could cheat my way back because fuck them. I too will not buy this BS 1.5 either. They had their chance. I’m still bitter that instead of fixing the base game they got dollar signs in their eyes and just started releasing dlc.

This is just a joke reference from It’s always Sunny in Philadelphia. Put down the pitchforks.

I’ll say this. I use chrome and I KNOW I need to switch to Mozilla. It’s just such a pain to switch that I inevitably go back. Maybe this is the wake up call I need.

Unfortunately this was done by design. Israel is committing atrocities and the last thing they want is the actual truth of what they’re doing getting out to the world. This is just another one of their “power targets” designed to quake fear into the hearts of their enemy. I’m glad that they are launching an official case for the assignation of a journalist. I really hope it actually goes somewhere.

Dude, I’m in that same boat. So much of my team is remote that when I do come into the office all my meetings are still on zoom. I like how you put it, “I’m arbitrarily in the office”

I’ll say this. What works for you doesn’t always work for everyone else, and I feel like that’s kind of the point. The CEO/CFO cares more about bringing people back to the office than they do about their employees. I hear you, it’s healthy to interact with people, and If that’s what you need awesome. But a lot of other people don’t feel that same way. I think it’s going to take tolerance on both sides for this paradigm shift to be a success.

Yeah, I’m with you. At least make the video private…

I’m so tired of businesses claiming that the only way for a company to be successful is if everyone is in person for the dear dear meetings. We all know exactly what this is about. 1. It’s more dofficult to micromanage employees when a manger can’t constantly observe them, and 2. All the giant real estate investments companies have made is now coming due and they cant fill up their buildings fast enough to get those tax breaks. Why the hell else are they “tracking” people in the office. Meanwhile senior leadership can come and go whenever they see fit. It’s control. Plain and simple.

Absolutely the case. I’m a motion designer and thank god I work on the partnship side of my business because that’s actually bringing in money, while the owned and operated businesses are failing. All of tech has just been under the knife the last 18 months and it’s exhausting. We’ve lost two people and no new hires because it’s not in the budget.

Beat me to it. DO NOT BUY HP PRODUCTS ANYMORE! Brother is a fantastic alternative and if I’m not mistaken sometimes cheaper, and if not cheaper, it’s at least far better quality.

I’d still hit that. I don’t care if she hands where her feet should be or that her arm is part of a spaceship.

Yeah sorry, just meant MacOS! It’s a work computer so I think the IT guys kind of force it sometimes.

I’m a Mac user and let me tell you, it could easily be an osx device. Those friggin updates take forever, and can be forced on you with no warning.

Exactly. I tried using Linux and I just don’t understand how to use it, and I consider myself fairly tech savvy. It would bring my productivity to a grinding halt if I had to switch to Linux.

Back in the day there used to be a patch that could block the app from communicating with adobe’s servers to verify the subscription.

That might still exist in some form, but with all of phthoshops new AI features I’d imagine that you’d need constant communication with those servers for the app to actually function.

I’m sorry I didn’t provide any actual help.

Yeah but then how would I be able to get that napkin holder that I ordered in my underwear delivered tomorrow! You don’t understand how much I need this thing right now even though I can’t be bothered to get dressed and drive my ass to the store.

Hey! I’m also sitting on a toilet! Crazy!

I wonder if that’s a portion of why it’s devalued so much. I mean I know there’s a dozen or more other reasons but brand recognition could very well be one of them.
