What does Bill Gates have to do with Windows nowadays?

Ideologically, no. In reality, yes.

Had you not been participating in the activities, they would likely not have any attention placed on them.

In the same way you are trying to initiate changes by putting pressure on those who you feel are doing wrong, those who feel that YOU are in the wrong will put pressure on you. Harassing your relatives not only puts pressure on you from your relatives, but is also designed to break you emotionally by watching the people you care about be hurt.

I’m not saying it’s right, but it’s the way things work.

Your traffic is measured by them and used to increase their numbers when making ad sales. Regardless of whether you have given them any money and blocked all their ads, you still count as traffic to the site, and that is what they are selling to advertisers.

Hulu hasn’t been recording NBC shows for 3 weeks now.

Modern churches have nothing to do with Jesus.

I used to mow lawns growing up. Would listen to headphones to drown out the mower. 30 years later I essentially hear this 24/7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D96_1AsUajA My wife (and everyone else who knows me) knows my general hearing is bad, but not horribly so, and much worse in noisy situations. There are times when I don’t hear that tone as much, but it’s there every morning when I wake up and it’s quiet.

Also, at max volume, I had to hold the phone speaker on my ear to make sure it was even playing.

Frequencies above 6k-7k have disappeared/are always there.

Do yourself a favor and take advantage of noise-canceling headphones so you can keep the volume down.

I love how easy Lemmy makes it to block dumb-fuck children.

“That could mean biological needs like food or sleep, social needs like work or seeing friends and family, or self-improvement like exercise or pursuing hobbies…”

Work has done all of this to me on repeated occasions, but I wouldn’t say I’m addicted to work.

Though… I suppose I am addicted to the resulting paycheck.

Yeah, the young Crypt Keeper might be up for it… As long as no one writes any dissenting opinions in chalk anywhere near him.

You must be QA.

Still waiting for the rollable screen so I can pull out my phablet and unroll it like a medieval scroll.

“Hear ye! Hear ye!..”

This explains my work cycle. Luckily I work from home.

Clothing is a courtesy I wear for others.

Cruelty is the point.
