This is it for me. There are a lot of things that aren’t awesome about owning and maintaining a house, but not dealing with a smug, PITA landlord every month is absolutely worth it to me.

“no” is a complete sentence btw.

por que no los dos

It’s less complicated than even that, it’s about real estate value, which is where McDonald’s corporate arm really makes it’s money. It’s easier to sell a full gray box than one that is so obviously a McDonalds in a past life. Same thing has happened with Pizza Hut, they don’t build them with the classic roofline anymore.

I largely have as well, but I fucking hate that forced ignorance is my only path to mental and emotional regulation.

My S21 is on the verge of losing regular security updates, and I hate it. The battery is fine, the camera is more than adequate, I do not want to upgrade.

Fark is still around too.

Keep licking, they still won’t let you into their club.

A whole bag?

Inertia is a hell of a thing to try and overcome. It’s a big deal for most companies to change out an important piece of software, let alone an entire OS and everything that comes with it. It could happen one day, I just don’t expect to see it.

The idea isn’t to be hyper specialized to a specific task. It’s to be hyper generalized to fit into spots already being filled by human workers. The goal is for the machine to be placed in the role of a paid human worker without the need to specialize anything else in the environment, a drop-in automation solution.

My issue is that I have no reason to think AI will be used to improve my life. All I see is a tool that will rip, rend and tear through the tenuous social fabric we’re trying to collectively hold on to.

In this case it’s a name brand product (dishwasher pods) which are only more expensive by a few cents per unit. All the Aldi store branded products are priced affordably.

At this point I do 90% of my grocery shopping at Aldi, it’s the closest thing I’ve got to a decent local option. I’ll even pay slightly more for some of the specific items both they and Dillons have if only so I can avoid giving more money to fucking Kroger.
