So many comments here by western people clinging to the only thing that they have left. The idea that somewhere in the world there is 'injustice' and a 'lack of freedom' and 'dictatorship' makes their absolute dystopian hellscape seem somewhat barely tolerable in their addled minds because they can at least imagine that elsewhere there is some big bad dictator and therefore they are comparatively free. No matter that they are poor and getting poorer or that their governments and companies are all sold out to billionaires and wrecked by private equity. No matter that their freedom begins and ends at consumerism and the vague idea that the police won't arrest them for posting something online. Apparently freedom to have a strong government that actually funds things for the public and doesn't suck billionaire cocks is not as important as having the opportunity to get into debt and spaff shite on the internet. If these people actually went to China and saw it with their own eyes then they would realise that they have been lied to. It's extremely sad to see.

I managed to break it...

Input was an explicit verse from WTF Collective, a Jon LaJoie parody song: I'm MC Public Urination waddup, I took a fucking piss on the fucking sidewalk. Anytime anyplace I just whip out my cock and empty my bladder while you motherfuckers watch. Yall other MCs can't handle this shit, you're just a lil bitch fraid to pee in public. You run into a toilet everytime you have to piss, fuck that shit, I just whip out my dick.

Output was decidedly not linkedin: I’m the Disruptor of Public Spaces, and I’m here to challenge the status quo by taking a fucking piss right on the sidewalk. Anytime, anyplace, I’m ready to whip out my cock and empty my bladder while you motherfuckers watch. Most professionals in this space can’t handle this level of transparency; you’re all just little bitches afraid to embrace public urination. While you’re running to a restroom every time you have to piss, I’m out here scaling my impact by just whipping out my dick. Fuck that traditional mindset.

In: I had a spirited wank. Out: I just completed a high-intensity personal wellness session to optimize my focus and recharge my creative energy. It's all about prioritizing self-care to maintain peak professional performance. #SelfCare #ProductivityHack #WorkLifeBalance

The US is really turning to shit.

I am a qualified mechanic. I no longer work in the field but I did for many years. Typically, when people 'trust their instincts as a user' they are fantastically wrong. Off by a mile. They have little to no idea how a car works besides youtube videos and forum posts which are full of inaccuracies or outright nonsense and they don't want to pay for diagnosis.

So when they would come in asking for a specific part to be replaced with no context I used to tell them that we wouldn't do that until we did a diagnosis. This is because if we did do as they asked and, like in most cases, it turned out that they were wrong they would then become indignant and ask why we didn't do diagnosis for free to tell them that they were wrong.

Diagnosis takes time and, therefore, costs money. If the user was capable of it then they would also be capable enough to carry out the repair. If they're capable of carrying out the diagnosis and the repair then they wouldn't be coming to me. This has proved to be true over many years for everyone from kids with their first car to accountants and even electrical engineers working on complex systems for large corporations as their occupation. That last one is particularly surprising considering that an engineer should know the bounds of their knowledge and understand how maintenance, diagnosis and repair work on a conceptual level.

Don't trust your instincts in areas where you have no understanding. Either learn and gain the understanding or accept that paying an expert is part of owning something that requires maintenance and repair.

This is the best thing that I've seen all day.

I mean, it's Apple's whole strategy to create an ecosystem of devices that all work really well with each other. Having had some insight about how chinese manufacturing operates on the low end it's much simpler than that, they just don't really care about things like not draining battery life. Their products are built to a price point and they are aware of that. If it could be built to the same price point without heavily draining battery life then it would be.

These types of games are only a small part of gaming, I use a macbook for my main machine and I play games on my console. The majority of gaming has nothing to do with buying skins and we should all be rejecting this nonsense anyway.

I guess he didn't have enough knowledge

I'm not sure that you have any sources for that percentage. Appstore links are definitely how iOS works.

I get what you're saying but anyone who falls for that one is beyond help. There are many red flags. I know that some people out there are not 'savvy' but this one is really obvious. The developer name is a strong red flag. If I was going to get LastPass I'd go on their website direct and click their appstore link from there.

The positives far outweigh the negatives.

This is a consequence of the fact that nobody actualy searches through a desktop appstore for an option to solve their software needs. If you do find new software it's not by searching the appstore. You go there to find a specific app which you discovered elsewhere at best. Sadly, Apple's barriers to entry have failed in the case of ChatBPP.
