I mean, if they are playing most on target hits with a footgun they are winning big time.

He’s going to ruin it anyway.

It is absolutely rooted in religious doctrine. And people already get weekends off, unless they opt for a schedule where they work over a weekend.

A few things here:

The business decides its hours, as OP stated. People shop because it’s open. The store isn’t open because they shop. Many businesses are only open 9-5 as an example.

Some people prefer working weekends and take them specifically. Just like some people prefer nights, swing shift, or days. It takes all kinds.

Government banning business on a particular day is an overreach and is usually just religious people making demands that others live their religious laws instead of any good will intentions.

That sucks man, glad you worked it out. Nice that you landed in the right spot quickly

No fucking shit. I both do and do not get why it takes “experts” to say this shit. Everything is fucked, what do you expect? Yeah, yeah, having an expert say something notifies people not connected to the affected people, but come fucking on.

This shit makes me so angry because it feels like there are a bunch of people with their heads up their ass that just came out for their once a decade deep breath only to realize something fucking changed while they were napping in their colon. Can’t fucking deal with this shit.

Sounds accurate to me.

That was hardly conspiracy worthy. It’s a bit hyperbolic, but it’s a fairly legit concern. Big tech is not the friend of any consumer. And big tech buying literally anything ends up a net negative for the consumer and freedom of choice. There is evidence that tech oligarchs (openAI/Sam Altman) want to gatekeep even knowledge and charge a subscription to access it.

Huggingface is now absolutely going to become pay to play. Maybe not day one, but it will happen. Just like all the other services out there that are now subscription based that were once free and offer little to justify the move. It’s also likely to drop AMD development or at least deprioritize it so hard they may as well.

There are also movements in the industry that suggest these big tech companies want to push a move to thinclients connected to cloud services instead of local machines. This idea isn’t helped by companies like Sony stripping away physical media. Nor by the RAM manufacturing cartel colluding for overpricing and abandonment of consumer markets.

Conspiracies are only conspiracies until they come to pass, and not all conspiracies are unfounded tripe like flat earthers etc.

Any idea what made him snap into reality?

There is real benefit in talking to people at their level.

Lol I went with sage on my newest phone because it was cheaper. I love that the insecurities of others gives me a discount.

Much of that red tape is there for good reason. It protects our natural resources and our citizens. I don’t disagree the US could do better, but things like environmental studies are important to ensure healthy growth, not just rapid. AI data center bullshit happening right now is a perfect example of the impact and destruction of steamrolling these things.

Used to use it pretty regularly. Especially for automating service tag retrieval. My main qualm with it was inconsistent use between manufacturers. Otherwise it was a nicely handy tool.

As much as he’s a cunt, he’s not all bad.

Antropoid

Also wanted to suggest this one. It’s not inglorious basterds but it’s good.

Kung Fury! I suggested that one too

Have fun! They are great.

The other person mentioned the two main new games but I loved Old Blood as well. If you prefer more classical games or styles, Return to Castle Wolfenstein is a great one too.

Lol that show was ridic, but fantastic
