I’d assume it’s because Tesla were one of the first to mass market EVs, and Musk’s pandering made them seem like a good, progressive bet. Once people were locked into their purchase they don’t like to admit that they might have made a poor choice. Or they were aware of the build quality, but figured that the brand was a safe bet, that they’d improve over time.
It’s amazing what humans will get tribal over.
See, I don’t really mind the sponsored segments. Some creators actually have fun with their ad reads, like the Map Men or Colin Furze. But if it’s boring I just tap the forward button on my Apple TV remote and skip past.
This is exactly me.
I’ve been paying £5 a month by using a VPN to sign up for Premium from Ukraine. Been doing so for the past couple of years without complaint. Literally all I need from them is to fuck off the adverts. I have Apple Music for music and I’m happy with it.
Now they’ve rumbled us and will be cutting off our Premium next month.
I am fucked if I’m paying those ratfuckers £20 a month just so I can watch other people’s hard work without the adverts they force in. Fuck that noise.
So I’m now researching ways to get my subs onto Plex so I can carry on watching on my Apple TV.
But why? Why should we wear gendered skirts? Why can’t we wear pretty, floaty skirts with bright colours and patterns? Why must all of our clothing be so rugged?
I embraced dresses this summer, and will never look back.
Just around the house, mind, I’m not that brave. But fucking hell it was SO NICE getting a breeze up around my bits on the hottest days. Walking down stairs, the skirt billowing out and filling with cool air. Shit’s like a drug.
As a bonus, my wife thinks it’s hot.
So yeah, I’ve spent a bit on Vinted these past few months buying pretty skirts and dresses and sure, I’ve still got a beard and am kinda hairy, but I feel nice when I’m wearing them.
Here in the UK they weren’t often referred to as a VCR, or even a VHS, to be honest. It was always “the video player”. Even if it was a recorder. At least that was my experience.
I got my first MiniDisc in 99, when I was 19. It was Panasonic off eBay, and it was fucked. So I got my second MiniDisc in 99 when I was 19. THAT one was a Sony, and was rock solid.
I wish I could have afforded one in ‘96, because then I might have got more use out of the tech before MP3 strutted up and pantsed it.
You’re about to get blocked in the Bible Belt my friend.
A while back, during the election campaign here in the UK, I saw someone talking about how disproportionate reporting by centre/left news outlets on how well the right leaning parties were doing was really good for reminding their audience that a Labour win was not a given and that their vote mattered.
In the case of the US, I think there’s a good amount of that, as well as large a scoop of cope from the right leaning news orgs. Cherry picking their sources means that outlets can present the polling as close, which flies better in the headlines.
Or all that is bollocks, and the US really is a gibberish shitshow.
20/21 was also peak Covid, so could be connected.
Right, but this is something that has never existed despite it being a fairly obvious interaction gesture.
Who’s making remarks on a company newsletter? Those guys don’t even use the feedback form we provide them.
Seriously though, does it piss you off when you buy a newspaper and can’t send them remarks and comments by writing on it?
A) Why would a newsletter need to be editable?
B) The vast majority of our staff access the newsletter via their phones, and will not care to install an app just so they can read it.
He does not, in fact, look like some kinda fuckin’ nerd.
My HR manager is also 60 and routinely publishes the company newsletter as a .docx.
Nothing is a given in this life.
YT emailed us yesterday to say that they believed our family Premium account is not, in fact, based in Ukraine where Premium is a fraction of the cost of other countries in Europe.
Anyway, by the time they’ve pulled the plug on us I’ll have FreeTube set up and rolling. Fuck ‘em.
I’m more than happy to sling them a fiver a month to get shot of adverts, but they can lick my arsehole if they think I’m ponying up £20 a month just so my wife and I can watch stuff without being advertised at as much as they think is reasonable.
Cunts.
No, I assumed it for a stupid joke.
This is fake, but not gay.
I was talking to my wife about this yesterday, and ultimately this is a kink that’s dicey as fuck. There’s no way to play it 100% without running the risk of rape.
I mean, if you’re a guy who gets off on women being asleep/passed out when you have sex with them, knowing that they’ve given express consent kinda kills the vibe. But you can’t expect to have sex with someone who hasn’t given you express consent.
So in the end I fall down on having zero sympathy for the guys who claim they thought she was in on it. She’s either told you it’s cool or she hasn’t.
