Boomers at least had a reason to go through this development because they were still able to accumulate some wealth. With a good job in the 80s-90s it was possible to invest into assets that have by now exploded in value. That does make some people more inclined to hold on to the status quo.

Anyone after Gen x on the other hand has little reason to hold on to a system that keeps screwing them over.

Don't talk to the crypto advertisement bot. You'll scare it.

My favorite last week was 2 dead support numbers and a third that let to AI which happily told me it has a solution that will fix the problem. The link it sent brought me to the bing search page.

I was so happy to finally talk to indian support a day later.

This is for the best. As someone who is forced to work with a lot of Microsoft infrastructure let me tell you things have never been this broken before. They keep doubling down on AI and it simply doesn't work.

As a selfmade billionaire I can tell you it's all about your grind mind. I started my company in the kitchen and continued in the garage. When my mom initially said I can't have 10 million in starting capital I asked her again and she said ok. Grind mind. Then she told me not to take the lambo but guess what? I took it anyway. Grind mind.

the nasal spray vaccine supercharges the lungs’ own immune defenses, keeping them on high alert for months

I can see this working against bacteria and viruses but how does it block allergens? Isn't an overly strong immune reaction how they start to begin with?

She's a loose cannon but a horrible officer of the law.

Nonono it's "eat the rich" not "send the rich to the moon". We have to keep the logistics in mind here. I mean, think of the rocket fuel. In this economy no less.

Best we could do would be some form of slingshot. I reckon the g forces would kill them long before they arrive and there would be little more than a small stain left on the moon. Somebody needs to do the math on this. I'll make the logo.

You guys gotta stop talking like that or I'm going to bing.

Also because it can't actually do the tasks.

In the yearbook of your bloodline after the entries for greatest warrior, wisest thinker, kindest soul and many others there will be you, top gooner.

A long unbroken line that dies in a million fruitless nuts.

 

Most grocery stores in my country have established an App (or card) you're supposed to use and it's slowly but surely going down the route of enshitification.

They start by letting you collect points. Then it's extra savings. Eg regular price is 3€, sale price is 1.80€ but app users get it for 1.50€. Cool, a way to save some money, you might think. Nope. Once they reach a critical mass of app users it continues to sales being App-only so everyone is now forced to use the App but there's no bonus left. Two of the biggest chains are at this stage. You now have the regular price (3€) and the app price (1.80€) which is the exact situation as before the app existed but they force you to jump through some extra hoops to get it.

Additionally to that they collect all this data with the sole purpose of manipulating you into spending more money at their store than you did before. They extract their profits from their customers and if we help them get more efficient at that it'll be us that lose out.

Tl;dr: Fuck store apps.

 

As I sit here and wait in Q after running into an invisible wall and disconnecting I couldn't help but wonder why this is needed to play what is essentially a single player game. Right, it's because nobody buys horse armor if they can't show it off in some mmo-ish open world nobody asked for. At least that's my best guess. This is not just a whine thread though. I genuinely asked myself why I'm putting up with this and it's because the game has a ton of beauty and fun to it that's wrapped in annoying monetization and general greed driven fuckery. So as the artists and programmers are carrying a horde of greedy goblins on their backs, I'd like to remind you all to lift with your legs.

 

I know it's early but I'm very disappointed in the build variety of barbarians so far. It's shout builds only because anything else is too weak to compete. Even found the unique chain pull axe but giving up a shout on the bar is simply not worth it. Anyway with the start of the first season I'd like a class with some variety to play around with different builds. Any recommendations?
