This is exactly what I was trying to say. Someone single making $200k might think, well, I’m not struggling at all, maybe I’m on the rich side?.. No, they wouldn’t be rich there either.

$200k/yr is nothing compared to the fat cats on top.

Even double that, you’re still much much closer to begging for quarters in the go station than deciding what yacht to buy next…

The amount of money the rich have extorted from the rest of us is unfathomable.

Wow, that’s a dick move before the pregnant wife.

Most of that stuff can be picked up for $20 or less, often much less.

Good luck finding a $20 turkey, nevermind a ham, nor cooking it.

You’re completely justified by being annoyed. I’d be fucking pissed.

Middle class is gone. You’re either extremely rich, or you’re down in the dirt with us poors.

If you’re not sure which camp you’re in, welcome to the fold.

Oddly specific.

I hope you’re living your best life just to spite her.

Oh, I get the reference.

Both.

The paper cartridge (PC) needs to be loaded with letter sized paper.

It’s a command to get the paper cartridge and load letter sized paper in it.

C’mon people.

I’m like you, though, I can’t afford them either so… Win-win?

I have not had a year that is, was, or was going to be “my year” by intent, circumstance, or result, in any way, shape, or form, ever.

It just hasn’t happened to me.

I’ve never expected it to happen, I’ve never tried to make it happen. 2026 will be no different than the hell we’ve been dealing with for the last 10+ years. In fact, it will most likely be worse than previous years.

That abomination should not have been made.

• someone who used XP 64bit edition

We are keeping it around for a bit longer… Like… A month.

I ran it, and it was a (poorly) rebadged version of server 2003.

At least one app I used, refused to install on it because they “didn’t support server operating systems” … Yeah. That actually happened. It picked it up as the server 2003 version that XP 64bit edition was based on.

I just about jumped right off a bridge.

fracking clankers.

I mean, you could take the same logic and apply it to many things AI generated…

The people at pavlok probably would want a word with the people who made the shock bands…

Literally baked into http is a “referrer URL” option.

None of this is new. It’s literally built into the protocols we use daily.

Yeah… As a technology person (working IT for many years now), it’s more likely that there’s some bad interaction between the browser, Adblock and the service that does the reviews. They’ve found a way to get an image to load regardless if the review applet works.

My bet would be that the Adblock is preventing the site from loading the necessary code to show the review submission “page”. This image is up behind the review regardless of if it works, is just that if the review thing works, it covers this up.

Sounds to me that this is a courtesy message basically saying that Adblock thinks the review thing is an ad.

I mean… I was more talking about the four button standard diamond pattern… With different labels on each button; but okay.

The basic layout of the PS1 controller was a SNES controller with wings.
