The only reason I was going was for free games but now I have an app called steam letter

So really, not a single reason for me left to go there. FGoS and FGF were the only reasons I visited over the last 3 years

What? If you want actual information you have to literally scold an agent “just give me the information I am seeking and stop recommending products”.

Never wanted to uppercut somebody so bad as in 2005 when they purchased an iphone, then declared to me and everyone in earshot what a techie they are. This is a person for whom I had to uninstall incredimail almost daily, and thought that the way to send an email was to open Word, import the thing into a document then click File then click Send as Email.

What the hell is with people like you who refuse to acknowledge a valid point, and you deflect with this idiotic “you could just not look at the problem” mentality

I am drawing from personal experience.

This is a real thing that happened to me, after a CEO ignored a product that we had worked on for years - yeah why would he have any knowledge it was just the entire reason for the company to exist.

There were 700 interconnected parts, many partnerships, many other businesses, many layers of approval, dozens and dozens and dozens of specs approval rounds that were signed off by dozens and dozens of people.

1500 hours of meetings which you can extrapolate into 10,000 person-hours of meetings and post-meeting analysis.

“My wife doesn’t like green”. Like 2 days before a critical milestone on a project with 50,000 visual assets.

CEO after a project has been worked on for 18 months: “had a chance to check it out over the weekend, my wife doesn’t really like green, can we change that?”

I would just like to say that whole situation has been a lot of jumping up and down on the let’s hate AI trampoline.

There is so much more nuance to what happened there, and people want to take it as the first domino. That is a bad analysis.

Your generation loves to dunk on boomers for having the world in their hand and fucking it up. This is your generations “boomer”.

(Being blamed for a situation completely out of your control, which you were entirely opposed to, imposed upon you by forces above you)

In 1997 a company I worked for “lost” a month of fully rendered 3D video. Big deal you’re saying, but 30 days of a rendering farm in 1997 was worth a couple hundred thousand dollars.

Somebody formatted the drive by accident.

This shit happens all the time, it’s appallingly common. I guarantee some idiot somewhere in the chain of command said no we are not budgeting $1,000 for a couple RAID arrays or backup drives

Nah. This is the “Russian bot traffic” misunderstanding all over again.

According to this space-age video from the Handy (Jam) Corporation, a spring is a robut

Omfg, and let us not forget that it was the world’s biggest knowledge base containing precisely zero quantifiable knowledge.

No, there is no reason to be eating that trash, that hot candy masquerading as food. And yet people will continue to do so, because they are addicted to it. That word carries a lot of stigma, but it’s the fact.

Really? Wow. I have no way of really knowing for sure but I am pretty convinced that they reached maximum saturation of their user base 10 years ago… That’s why there was this sudden whiplash pivot to forcing Indian, Pakistani, and the European content to the front page.

I saw that as the indicator that the North American market had been penetrated as far as they were going to penetrate, and they were looking abroad.

Now with what you’re telling me it’s making me question reality, I don’t think there’s a person on the planet that isn’t aware of reddit, I think people just don’t want to use it anymore!

Question, where have you noticed these advertisements?

A mild realization just hit me. Reddit used to come up in daily conversation, even with randos. Now when I mention it nobody even knows what it is, and those that do remember it… speak of it only as this vague place they used to go years ago. “Oh yeah I remember reddit”

E: fyi I’m talking roughly circa 2008-2013 when every last bricklayer, sewer technician, and 7-Eleven worker “found” the platform
