I regret I have but one upvote to give.

Alright, I've decided we're besties now. Good exchange, buddy. Good exchange. :3

Seriously though, I'm smiling.

Actually, it's the best kind of correct. But hey, don't let all that butt hurt bother you. I hear there's a cream for that.

I love that I agreed with you and you STILL felt aggrieved, lol.

From what little I know about horses, almost all your time is spent trying to make sure they don't kill themselves. I can leave my vechile outside in the cold for weeks at a time and not have to think about it.

I mean you're not wrong but no matter how small an impact it's still not ZERO emissions, so the guy you're replying to is technically correct.

I get what you're saying but the forgetful customer is explicitly what they said they want, which is dumb any way you look at it. Many times you're forced into signing up for subscription, or coerced under the guise of a free trial. Now this wouldn't be as bad if they came back and were like, "hey we see you haven't used our service in a while, do you still need it?" rather than just leeching money from the user. The system is designed to purposely allow the user to make these errors and that's wrong any way you want to shape it.

"If buying isn't owning, pirating isn't stealing."

I heard this before and it is becoming more true each day.

I worked at Amazon and the head of Ring said their best customers were people who bought a subscription and then put the camera in a drawer and forgot about it. They don't even want to provide you a service. They want you to absentmindedly give them money every month because you forgot to cancel.

You should. The next time you want to use it, it'll probably do some bullshit. Better to be rid of it now than be coerced into giving HP money in the future. If you need a printer, replace it with whatever Brother laser printer is on sale at the moment.

I never buy games before reviews but bought KSP2 early access. It was so bad I returned it less than four hours later. I joke they put more effort into the ads than the game itself.

I think what really confused me is that I saw a demo of KSP2 at PAX East several years ago. The game we got looked no different than that demo. I was like, wtf have they been doing all this time?

[–] Mercuri@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I don't know about that. KSP has a mod that adds N-Body physics so it's not some momumental obstacle.

This reminds me of the pumpkin carved with the tip screen... in other words absolutely horrifying.
