I recently learned that my dad used to be a landlord. Problem was, he has a sense of morals, ethics, and empathy. Tennants would be unable to pay rent for one reason or another, but he wouldn't evict them because he understood that sometimes shits hard. Eventually, he had to sell all his properties to a less scrupulous landlord.

I feel conflicted with the knowledge that I could have had a better childhood if my dad was a worse person.

This is the kind of shit that makes me want to pirate nintendo's games purely for the principle of the matter.

I have several reasons for not buying nintendo's games, from their piss-poor customer service, to threatening content creators with litigation, to actually litigating indie competitors, to cease-and-desisting fanmade mods and games, and generally treating their most dedicated fans like shit.

If it were possible to legally buy nintendo games and directly download them to my pc to play on whatever emulator I wanted, even if nintendo offered zero support for it, that might be enough to convince me to be a paying customer again. But no, nintendo has to do shit like this instead. fuck nintendo.

EDIT: I'd like to add on to the part about the cease and desisting of fanmade things, Nintendo likes to do that when they're planning on announcing their own game that these fan projects would be competition for. Project M was killed shortly before Ultimate's announcement. AM2R was killed shortly before nintendo's own Metroid 2 remake was announced. Pokemon Uranium was killed shortly before, well, one of the pokemon games was announced, I couldn't tell you which one since I stopped caring after gen 3. I'm sure there's more that I don't remember off the top of my head.

I'm on vacation and I won't have to wear pants for an entire week. This is going to be so nice. SWOOSHY SKIRTS FOR SEVEN DAYS!!!!

From the title I thought this was going to be about personal computers and upon opening the image I was very confused for a second.

No, I don't look at what community the post is from when I'm scrolling all.

Another reason why my previous phone was better than my current one: backside fingerprint scanner. Infinitely superior to a screenside fingerprint scanner, as I was able to unlock my phone in the same motion as picking it up or removing it from my pocket. With a screenside fingerprint scanner, it is no longer more convenient than just inputting the lock code.

Furthermore, other people turning OFF a light that's in another room because that's the precise amount of light I want where I'm at. Absolutely infuriating.

vanilla factorio is for autists, yes. But this is modded factorio, which is infinitely worse.

Did you know that in Factorio's 'seablock' modpack, it is absolutely viable to power your base with BEANS?

I keep seeing this kind of argument, and I understand, but I disagree.

The comparison isn't between using an ai service and doing it yourself, but rather between using an ai service and commissioning an actual artist. I can afford $20/mo for infinite mediocrity. I cannot afford $20/image (or more depending on the artist).

Of course, there is a flaw in my argument, in that I was assuming that the techbro was being honest. People aggressively pushing dalle or midjourney or whatever aren't interested in "making art accessible". They hate art and artists, and want to force creative types to be miserable doing jobs they hate. I have to remind myself that this is the kind of person that the comic is complaining about.

reality is insane

I'd like them to be ctrl-c and ctrl-v
