Because it’s April right now

And their more successful competitors sell to the whole world.

Can’t they fire you if they do somehow find out you don’t have a degree?

If that’s the case, there may be an actual benefit to the degree mill piece of paper.

Lol I’m a former diehard Apple hater that’s been using an iPhone for 4 years and loves Apple Silicon Macs.

But I still do think they’ve done a lot of idiotic things lately. iOS 26 works fine on my phone (some people are reporting performance issues), but the UI is hit and miss.

Apple Vision Pro seemed doomed from the get go, but they really made it worse by not launching a cheaper headset with Air branding half a year or a year in to actually drive market share enough to make it worthwhile for developers. Could’ve given it an A series CPU since we now know it works in a laptop so why not in XR or whatever they’re calling this.

Once again, the USA is being a problem for the entire world.

And, as usual, we don’t get any say in the matter unless/until we completely isolate ourselves from them.

Trouble is, that’s 300 million people and change with a lot of money to spend. Any company would be foolish to turn its back on that market completely.

In that case you still come after daddy’s money, but you’re daddy.

Cartoons only happened in the morning here. In the mid 00s I’d get home from school and watch 2.5 men lol. A-team sometime before that. At some point it was Knight Rider too. Only had like 2 or 3 channels growing up.

That’s some AI focused scam company that’s only 4 years old.

This is what Boston Dynamics had 4 years ago already: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tF4DML7FIWk

Third. Daddy’s money comes before you as well, I’ve heard.

in your mount

:P

Anna’s Archive 2: The quest for more knowledge

I think he’s quoting Von Der Leyen because it’s the same person that posted the exploit and the whole thing was in quotes

I see 🤣 being used by older AND younger people mostly whereas people my age might use 😂 or just plain ol’ :D which we’re more used to

And also don’t forget the dongcopter

I don’t know any Hungarian, but here in Estonia, cinema or movie theater is pretty much an euphemism for drama or just something funny happening and has been for a long time. Common sayings are “siin hakkab kino saama” (there’s going to be cinema here) or “paras kino oli” (that was some cinema), etc. Cinema is generally not used as a countable noun in these cases. If by some miracle I was in a room where JD Vance and Trump got into a fistfight, I would say “it’s about to be cinema here” when the first one raises his fists.

The saying famously of course is “one bad apple doesn’t spoil the bunch” /s

IPhones get software updates for 5-7 years and high end Androids from some manufacturers are also finally catching up to this. Plus the app may not always require the absolute newest version of the OS. Might get 7-8 years out of a brand new high end phone.

Still doesn’t change the fact that now you HAVE to have an Android or iOS device and I’m betting they’ll use play integrity too.

Yarrr, it be a pirate’s life for you!

Also if the game is on GoG, you can probably get a torrent with the GoG variant, that’ll be DRM free and won’t require a crack or keygen or anything.

Also virtually every old game that requires a CD probably has a NoCD crack out there in the world. That was some of the easiest and most commonly bypassed DRM back in the day.

Ha, depends on the type of DRM. Early SecuROM was pretty easy IIRC, later SecuROM was a pain. Whatever the first Godfather game used was an absolute pain, I believe no standard crack actually worked properly (game would get bugged after a while), but someone managed to create a .cue file you could mount that it would see as a legit disk.

Of course those of us simply copying the crack files to the game directory didn’t have to worry about all that, it was the lovely scene folks that took care of all that.

I mean sure, but they mostly suffer from not enough admiration and servitude (in their eyes) whereas the others around them suffer from constant manipulation, lying, etc.

Also narcissism doesn’t equal an actual NPD diagnosis because to get that you’d first have to realize you’re not perfect, which a lot of narcissists are incapable of. Honestly, anyone who actually has the diagnosis is probably a significantly better person than a narcissist that doesn’t realize it and seek help.

I know at least 2 such individuals, one being my ex. They’re so good at lying that they’ll look at you in the eye and blame shit they’ve done on you and you’ll almost believe them. I don’t just mean the standard “I did X but it’s only because you made me feel bad so it’s actually your fault”. I also mean my ex complaining to CPS about things she’s done as if it’d been me. She’s the kind of person that enjoys hitting a 2 or 3 year old with a belt for not eating enough. Luckily that wasn’t my kid or even her other kid (was her friend’s, said friend lived with us to escape a violent relationship, but eh… Not a major improvement. Luckily she got away from it all and I believe is now actually living a fairly happy life).

I slept 16 hours a week at most and I was told I wasn’t doing enough and it was MY fault our relationship and finances suffered. Always kept telling me I didn’t let her sleep or go out enough even though there were periods where she spent no more than 4-5 hours awake at home per day while I was working an average of 60-70 hours a week and took care of the kids most of the time. Why did I have to work this much? She had a 2-3 strollers per month kinda stroller addiction. Roughly half of them I had to buy brand new. On my payday she’d buy whichever stroller she wanted, would order McDonald’s 2-3 times a day for the next week and then the next 3 weeks I had to get money off my side gigs and beg my friends for loans. She kept telling me how it was my fault that we never had money despite her frivolous spending per month adding up to more than some families earn in a quarter.

She doesn’t have an NPD diagnosis. She says she’s completely fine “other than the trauma from all the things you did to me” (aka letting her go out to fuck around only 5-6 nights a week instead of 7 and only letting her sleep till 1-2 PM, as well as sometimes refusing to buy her shit which caused her to pretend she’d kill herself).

So sure, she suffers too, but her suffering is delusions of grandeur that cause her to make bad decisions, whereas the tens or potentially hundreds of victims suffer in many other ways. Put it this way: if you loan her money and ask for it back and 3 months later she still hasn’t paid and you make a Facebook post warning people not to lend her money, she’ll report you to the police. That’s happened to at least 2-3 people (not me, I don’t like public squabbling). Literally accusing her of any wrongdoing will result in a police report and/or lawsuit. 3 months after our divorce she asked me to buy her a car and I refused, 2 days later she said I’m not seeing my child anymore because (list of things she usually does, but claims I do them). Said child had been living with me full time for 4 months and not a single complaint from her before that.

Her 5 year old from a previous relationship is also known for crying out “I don’t want mommy” because of all the abuse.

So yes, I’m of the opinion that narcissists don’t suffer nearly as much as the people around them, especially their kids if they have them (in the case of my ex she’s hoping to have more because every kid is one more man she can manipulate)

PS: the other narcissist I know? The boyfriend she had after me. Carbon copy of her. Confirmed with other mutual acquaintances that it wasn’t just her stories, he really is just as horrible as her. That almost made me believe in the existence of karma. Sadly I don’t think either of them realized that they’re both horrible people. But both are struggling to find new suckers to finance their lifestyles so I think they’re both homeless and couchsurfing now. Turns out if your income is selling fictional goods and borrowing money from friends, it doesn’t last forever. Of course everyone else is at fault for that.
