Meh, I was sixteen at the time and way more concerned with my friends laughing their asses off nearby

So I have a story for this, one I’m not proud of mind you, but it happened. One time in a lush store they had these bath bombs that were literally modeled to look like cupcakes, I remarked that they almost looked edible. A STORE EMPLOYEE replied with this.

SE: They are edible.

Me: what? No they’re not

SE: oh yeah they’re totally edible go ahead and take a bite

Me: wait really?

SE: yeah!

So I take a bite of the cupcake looking thing and immediately the bitter ass taste of soap fills my senses, my eyes are watering and I spit it out into the trash. I kid you not this was like a punch in the face, I was sweating, I felt a huge headache coming on and my nose was on fire. Again I’m not really proud of this but in my defence, I was a dumbass teenager and someone who I reasonably thought I could trust told me something to mess with me and I took the bait.

The employee was nowhere to be seen after that, obviously he saw my gullible ass actually did it and got out of there with a pep in his step and a smile on his face. As for me, I had a pounding headache and slightly lavender scented breath for the rest of that day.

More or less, “keep ya big tech out of our pond” and all that

I know people are saying like bricks and wood and stuff, but if you don’t care how it looks, reams of paper are cheap and customizable, and even stable if you keep them in the plastic wrap and just slide out what you don’t need

I do this too, and yeah you’d be surprised how many times there’s money in the coin slot

Also all those sites are still online and you don’t even need flash to play anything

Heel boy

I mean, that’s kind of what I was looking for as bad as that may sound, sometimes I just wanna spout out my shower thoughts without posting it to the showerthought community and getting bitched at that it’s not “shower thought” enough

See this one’s just called being butthurt

By calling it ridiculous he was colloquially challenging your whole “argument”. Though while a poorly presented claim itself You presumed that because your claim has been poorly argued, or a fallacy has been made, that the argument itself must be wrong.

This is called a fallacy fallacy

I’m just thinking of prior examples, such as how the internet was technically a military intranet before it got into public hands, or how radio and lidar technology was leagues ahead in the military before it became public

You think white folk don’t do cookouts?

I wouldn’t know, all I know is it was scheduled to arrive the 16th, came to the distribution center 10 minutes from my house, then went halfway across the country

Remember, games are now being put out for $70, I refuse to buy those games on principle

What’s wrong with the French language pack?

I mean, you kind of just have to deal then, since that’s not something that can be programmed in. Your definition of “decent bots” for example, might wildly vary from someone else’s definition

Learn the renters rights in your area, like commit it to memory, there are plenty of people who will take advantage of your inexperience or just think you won’t make a fuss if they do something illegal that harms you or refuse to give you your deposit/ect. When you get your lease, actually sit down and read it, save it to a google drive, be able to pull it up whenever. I can’t tell you the multitude of times its saved me, plus, if someone tells you you can’t have your deposit back for x,y,z, ask them for an itemized list of damages, in the us they must provide it, and every one that seems flimsy or is wrong, send them back that you “dispute this charge” and proof if you have it, take pics or HD video when you move in of everything

If its worth anything, idk how this translates for consoles, but in the PC world, turning the system on is technically the hardest thing on the PSU, because it has to boost every component at once, but then again, you’ll still be many years in before you experience any sort of failure

Let’s be honest, old consoles were BEASTS.

I remember my old PS2 used to be perpetually on, I would come home and just flip on the tvand there was my game, sometimes it was a neccesity if I was playing a ps1 game because I didn’t have a ps1 memory card, I swear that thing had to be on for months at a time and it was just fine.

It gets a little harder the newer the console is though, take the 360, if I had done that with that console it would be red ringed before a week Take this with a grain of salt of course, if you wanna be safe, then yeah go ahead and keep it unplugged, or better yet, get a power switch so all you have to do is hit a button, but that was my experience

Either way, were gonna have to deal with the problem of these new bacteria possibly getting into non garbage, such as currently in use consumer electronics, and the eventual push by some companies trying to create “bacteria resistant” plastics, which I’m against, or the eventual knowledge that you shouldn’t leave your phone sitting in certain areas or let it hit lake waters or other areas with high bacteria populations, kind of like wood and keeping an eye out for termites.

Just a thought of what may come, but for the current issues we face, this is still fantastic news
