  • All I see these mini-PCs as, as just personal PCs. The kind you boot up, record things on like private documents, power off and proceed to do other tasks and things on your more expensive machine that can handle the workload. Like they’re meant to be PCs you do not want people discovering or see you using, so to say.

    I just have a hard time seeing mini PCs as primary devices for everyday use, especially when their upkeep is poor and temperature management is poorer.



  • Not really. I’ve been beaten over the head about Christmas as far back as September this year. So, by the time I reach the actual day of Christmas, it’s like “…so what?”. It’s like Capitalism’s favorite holiday now, along with Black Friday and Cyber Monday. I can’t get that cheery or festive for a day that has been hijacked to maximize profits, especially if people are nagged about it for months on end until it’s the day.



  • You speak some truth here. I’ve been meaning hard to try and go out to movie theaters. I just keep ending up not going. Like, I know I’m missing out on the experience of seeing things on a gigantic screen at the comfort of a chair. I know I’m missing out on the latest and greatest. But it’s the expensive concessions and the experience of hearing many sounds coming from people as the movie itself tries drowning out that waters it down for me. Not to mention having to travel to the theater and pay the rising ticket prices just for the negatives.


  • I’m 35, I still buy toys in toy aisles, I still have cartoons from my past on lists when streaming stuff.

    Here’s how I look at it - I’m responsible of an adult to do adult things when I need to. There’s just some things though that I’m allowed to do in my own space, away from everyone. It’s nobody’s fucking business. And I do admire those that are open about this thing. I do understand now why some people say that age is a number, in this context.

    Besides, I find adult life pretty damn boring anyways. At my age, I’m expected to be knee-deep into sports, I’m expected to have had retirement savings like 401k, I’m expected to have a career I’m slaving myself to and all that shit. All the while wearing plain-ass clothing and getting into boring-ass conversations with NPCs.

    Fuck all of that. You do you, I do me.







  • How is the Discord way anti-consumer? Here, let me walk through to you the steps:

    I go to Subscriptions on the app, I see my subscriptions now, I see a button that says Cancel. I click it, a window pops up that says I can Continue or Nevermind. Right now I’d Continue but I don’t want to because I’m on a month trial, but I do imagine that by clicking Continue, it’ll end things with a notification that tells me I’ve unsubscribed.

    How is that process anti-consumer? It’s stupid easy to understand. I think you’re just arguing for the sake of arguing.
