You’re listing specific examples that literally no one has a problem with. Yes, if you’re moving large equipment you need a large tool to do so. The general public doesn’t do this, like… Ever. The dude in the photo has almost certainly never towed anything with it. These kinds of vehicles serve a purpose, but the vast majority of them are sold to people who will NEVER use it for that purpose, who just take up excess room in lots and on the streets, rolling around with visibility that makes a fucking TANK look like it’s got a clear line of sight.

There’s a whole host of political and cultural reasons that these vehicles are as popular as they are. Almost none of it is actual, practical requirement. No one cares about the worker using the tool to do a job, we’re pissed at the pavement princesses who drive around like they own the place without doing an honest day’s work in their lives. Hope that cleared some of the confusion up.

I have not bought a Sony console since the PlayStation 2. I’ve “missed” a fair few games already. The ones that end up worth playing always seem to make their way to PC eventually.

Gotta get worse before it gets better

It’s quite simply what’s on people’s minds right now. It was a major event, it outlines some of the systemic inequalities, and people are interested in the subject.

Y’all bots?

Mate, they made a joke. Kinda like the ones the celebrated George Carlin made.

We still have our bread and digital circuses. But the GOP is rapidly eroding our digital circuses, so it’s becoming easier and easier to pull away and live in the real world. They’re authors of their own misery, eventually.

Did you understand what they said? Great! They did perfectly fine then. Waste less energies.

It’s as likely your top 30 or so pages are AI generated, paid results, SEO optimized shit, etc that’s just as unsavory. No one says you can’t verify information, and probably should anyway, be it one search result verifying another, a bunch of commenters verifying each other, or verifying the two against each other.

Fuckin right lol? Why else do we exist, socially, if not to share cool shit with each other? Be it knowledge, a cool cat pic, a song you wrote, or eventually genetic material, arguably the “point” of sexual reproduction, maybe even life. I think now more than ever we should be hesitant to telling anyone to outsource any of that part of humanity to our AI overlords.

“just Google it” has always been a shitty reply. People are asking for your opinion because they want opinions from people, not some nameless site/author/whatever. Even if you’re just regurgitating information, it’s coming from a PERSON not a random article. Never mind the reliability of the source. Heavens forbid that we social creatures social about a thing for a bit.

I will personally develop a toy that juuuuuust skirts the edges of their definitions called a dildon’t. I see a glorious market in my future.

Implying management is human work?

Oh for sure. I don’t disagree in the slightest.

Fair. I think proper sports play is more akin to an art, but no doubt your physical prime is past you at a certain point.

I feel like this is just a sign of good growth. I’d be AMAZED if any single person looks at work they did 20 years prior, and said “yep. That’s my best work.” Maybe arts, where there’s no objectivity, but anything you can actually quantify?

Denuvo is also subscription based. It’ll be pulled off the game eventually. I can wait.

It’s spelled “fission” and has nothing to do with salmon hats…

I don’t want that disease vector anywhere near my dangly bits, thanks.

Can confirm. I’m playing through my 4th total playthrough (once on launch, once about 6mo later, one on the DLC launch and one now) and the last two have been noticeable in terms of quality improvements. I’m playing modded to shit, but only have had a few crashes. Police feel fine now, I’m not using anything that alters their spawn logic. Just about the only thing I’ve not enjoyed still is driving, even modded to hell lmao
