And there it is. Sorry, you are just selfish. I've no desire to persecute anyone, yet once again you assume I do. All I ask is that my neighbours use a fan, it doesn't bother me enough to interfere with them, I just WISH they coul

In a way, that's somewhat my point. The tip isn't the problem, the expectation that the tip will occur and thus salaries can be lowered as a result of it - is.

You assume I have not tried it, you assume I have not tried other substances. You assume a lot while pushing a narrative of your own. If your mind is so open, why are you so closed and selfish towards other's view points?

It tells me you write prose in a manner becoming of an unhinged madman.

You make a lot of very strange assumptions about who I am and what I've done with my life. And you'll note, I don't stop them, nor complain - I merely WISH they were a little more considerate in their partaking of the herb, I

Should we tip the robots too?

"Just leave then" Fine, I'll take the bait. I moved here by choice, my "ancestors" have nothing to do with Hong Kong. I also don't wage a war against my neighbours who are simply trying to "enjoy a smoke&q

Americans are tipping literal ATMs. It's out of hand. The employer should be paying the salary of the servers - unless you are living in some kind of failed socialist state?

I didn't "choose" to live in a multi-unit apartment, I live in Hong Kong - there is no other option. "Just leave them!" Yeah. Ok. Try empathy, it's free.

We shouldn't be tipping anyone, I don't understand the fascination with perpetuating a system that encourages employers not to pay a living wage.

I've been off and on them for years, usually my doctors seem to prefer if I'm off them and indeed treat them more as short term "stabilizers" so that my brain has a bit more space to deal with things. This has been true

I'm not so sure... Where I grew up there was no arcade. It's easy to say that we are more connected but far apart, but only if you ignore the democratization that has come with that connectivity.

Your point reads strangely, it's almost like saying "Why even bother when CO2 emissions are so high" - surely ANYTHING that they are doing to turn that around should be celebrated and encouraged rather than saying "Yeah

The back of them really are stunning, sadly the listing doesn't seem to shown that it also has snoopy in a rocket which sweeps round as well as the earth rotating - they aren't limited edition either so not impossible to obtain! (

To be fair though, complaining about 'things' is practically a British national sport.

Same, I created a todo list with a simple MCP and it's been game changing, just being able to talk/discuss with my todo list somehow seems to keep me coming back to it rather than after 3 weeks it just becoming a sterile and aband

Having just paid a small fortune to renew my passport. I'm not super excited about this, especially as I live outside the UK. I also don't trust them not to make a complete hash of all this, removing all potential utility while si

It gives me somewhat more Amiga A500 and A500+ vibes... ;) I see it as a spiritual successor to my much loved childhood Amiga A500 which partially spurred my life long love of computing. The GPU pins on the back are nice, as is the fact tha

Interesting! I've never thought alcohol tastes like bleach, though in some I can now certainly get a taste of "ethanol", same with the charcoal coffee thing -- many flavours I've found in coffee, but never charcoal. I wo

I've eaten all sorts of strange and exotic things... but most seafood, I simply... cannot. Most of it smells like it is rotting to me and the taste is overpowering[0]. Trust me, I've tried countless times. Something that my wife w

I've taken to using an LLM to organize my Todo list (self hosted interface with a little MCP server I wrote and a postgrss db on my network), it's still very simplistic however for someone with ADHD just having fast and unorganize

I want to care, but I also want money to eat, and the guy that isn't caring and doing a fifth as much work as me, is making more than me and getting promoted ahead of me. Welcome to enterprise, it's not shit because people don&#x2

I don't ever remember Kotaku being a gaming site, even back in 2008 (give or take my memory may off) - always just seemed full of circlejerking garbage back then.

That's why I said 'arguably', perhaps I should have been more clear in stating that QQ is more like a spiritual successor, although I thought the linked Wikipedia article made that clear enough.

I honestly just thought it was entirely fake when I saw it fly all over LinkedIn. Maybe I'm too cynical, or maybe I'm the right degree of cynical, I don't know any more.

I don't see the difference to how it's ever been, just a new product name. Zuck isn't paying $200m per employee he's spending $200m on marketing and the droves of talent that will come and work for far less on the promis
