Do you run a business? I do. Industry-wide races to the bottom that have existed for decades before I was even born have put margins so razor-thin that paying more than slightly hi…

Good to see posting purely for karma isn't just a Reddit thing.

Do YOU? Because I did farm chores growing up and the stuff you're tasked with doing is never particularly dangerous. Dirt and grime washed off just fine and it was good exercise an…

>The phrase 'if you're not the customer, you're the product' comes to mind That doesn't really apply to the warez scene. People aren't releasing cracked software for profit, they'r…

>Bonus annoyance this year: the eternal covid lamentations of bar and restaurant owners, as if governments purposely wanted to destroy their businesses, as if one's bar is more imp…

It is official; Netcraft now confirms: BSD is dying One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered BSD community when IDC confirmed that BSD market share has dropped yet …

Fads was a strictly YTMND term. On 4chan they were generally called memes, on SA they were image macros.

Because it's wrong, new accounts absolutely do not get shadowbanned. People make burner accounts for 2-3 anonymous posts all the time.

I already had it. No need to get vaccinated for something I've already had where the current research is indicating that immunity is either permanent or very long-lasting.

I don't really consider myself an audiophile, but I do love music and vinyl. My general suggestion if someone wants to buy new is an Audio-Technica LP 120X turntable and a pair of …

I got a tetanus shot about two months ago. I used pain medication (just normal-ass ibuprofen) because the injection site gets very sore after a few days. There's a lot of valid rea…

The fact that a one sentence, unsubstantiated claim to /r/bitcoin from a week-old Reddit account is number 14 on the front page of HN shows how fucking sad the state of affairs is …

This is a bit myopic - $200k for two people for what's basically a no-skill gig is a pretty decent income in most of the country. At that scale it's not a side gig anymore, it's yo…

Absolute same - a vague whiff, tastes coming back to food with varying strengths depending on what it was, then a return to normalcy. I'm still not sure if it's back to 100%, simpl…

I mostly ate spicy food during my time with it due to the fact the physical sensation of spiciness being one of the only things that made food interesting. Same with saltiness. I a…

This has been known for a while. In the interest of anecdotal evidence, when I had covid the symptoms were all mild and indicative of a fairly normal cold (one day of a very mild f…

Newer TVs don't truly turn off by default, they just go into standby.

If I'm squatting 250 lbs normally, body weight isn't going to do jack for me. People choose the first option because they weigh risks differently. The risk of permanent health dama…
