  • That’s nice and you’re very lucky. My PCP told me to schedule an appt with their drugs and mental health department (3 month minimum wait) and that he’d not renew the prescription I’d come to him with.

    Then my next Dr was telehealth and kept warning me I needed to see her in person, but never had an appointment open.

    Then my next Dr was 45 minutes late to every appointment.

    Then my next Dr tried to get me to do IT troubleshooting on my end when he hadn’t joined the fucking Zoom call.








  • So many people go boomer argument mode over this because they don’t like change, but their anger is clearly misplaced. The 3.5mm is not the king of audio connectors and never was, it’s death could very easily have been a good thing.

    Why the fuck didn’t headphone makers start offering USB-C devices once phones pulled this move? My PC mobo from 2017 has a C port that could be used for this, I’m certain computers could have easily adapted (and they’re the way smaller market anyway). Is it just because apple had to be special with their lightning bullshit? If so, they’d better start it up now!

    Instead of being able to buy new cans with the wire that my phone uses I have to snag an adapter. Not a BIG deal but this change is over 5 fucking years old, we should have these devices as the norm now to avoid all of the fucking issues we’re currently looking at


  • have you ever considered not being a dick about things?

    Says the guy actively laughing at people he thinks are dumb for using words he doesn’t understand.

    the constant hashtags and the way these people write most certainly makes the dense sections difficult to parse

    Just ignore the hash tags, imagine they’re a silently pronounced letter.

    Do you just like, burst into flames when you encounter dyslexic people?

    No, because I am one.

    Motherfucker you commented on how the buzzwords make it an impossible to understand word salad and thats what I commented on.

    Now suddenly your problem is that a symbol before the words is triggering dyslexia for you so hard that you find it odd that non-dyslexic people can understand it? Pick one


  • Sorta, it’s more like having your rich parents pay for everything but the “rich parents” is your employer, which is just the corporation you set up to run everything. They usually use a company credit card as their daily use card and leave it to AP to manage

    The exact details are of course prickly as fuck but that’s a really basic overview of the idea



  • I’m sorry, but what? All of that is perfectly straightforward and understandable even to someone not steeped in AI buzzwords

    Everything said boils down to “we added more AI with a longer memory to some accounts here. It’ll also use a couple of fields from your profile to shape it’s responses better”

    Like, it’s really simple tech speak, not buzzwords at all?




  • the United States has a functioning railroad system outside of passenger service

    “We have a functioning car if you ignore that the gas pedal doesn’t work!”

    Passenger rail is part of our rail system AND the topic of OP for anyone who can read. Its terribleness is in many ways the freight systems fault (at least Amtrak specifically) so it absolutely loses points on the functional scale since usually things that function well don’t actively damage other related things


  • Masks somehow are very offensive to people.

    Somewhere deep down they know that they were wrong and that those death numbers are partly on them. Many of them knew people who died and are likely the potential connection in the chain that killed them.

    Rather than realize they were wrong and try to make up for it they turn incredibly hateful towards it in extreme denial. If they admit masks work then they admit they killed their friends and family for nothing
