>You attack me personally while adding nothing to the actual topic at hand. My goal was never to contribute to the discussion but merely to explain that your attitude will not win …

>"Partially agreeing" while baselessly denying the central point is what exactly in your book? It means partially agreeing, and quite respectfully, I might add. You, however, were …

You know, people would be more receptive to you if you wouldn't talk down on them. I mean, for gods' sakes, parent specifically partially agreed with you(!) and yet you *still* tal…

It's not about the company; it's about the technology. Whether a Flock-branded camera or not, ALPRs as a technology is *dangerous*. From deflock.org itself: > Flock is not the only…

Exactly. I work in retail and we have ONE guaranteed day off each year: Christmas Day. (And a lot of retail employees don't have even this!) And until recently, I never got holiday…

I work in the US service industry (retail), and until recently I didn't have sick time at all. The only reason I do now is because I'm a part of a union (very rare for retail worke…

> at least they have no screens IIRC their dash is just a screen. No actual dials or gauges unfortunately. :(

Fun Fact: Most, if not all, YouTube channels automatically have an RSS feed. That's what I use to follow channels I like. No Google account necessary.

Just as an aside, I suspect the last line had an implied "/s". If so, I think they really should have included it.

I genuinely can't tell if you're joking, though I'd like to believe you are...

That is extremely unfortunate. :( The day I can no longer use Old Reddit is the day I stop using Reddit.

I don't get even a single ad on that TV Tropes page. Do you not use an adblocker?

You can do it without logging in too if you use an extension that autoredirects. That's what I do. I use a FF extension called Old Reddit Redirect.

Jesus Christ, $600 for a monitor ?

Oh. Hey, thanks y'all for explaining it to me. :)

RIP Mitch Hedburg

So what you're saying is I have it backward. In the summer, without DST, the sun would rise like an hour earlier than with DST. Is that correct?

Something I genuinely don't understand: everyone is saying that with DST, the sun rises later in the day. But as someone who doesn't work first shift and regularly goes to bed anyt…

It's not an excuse. Many of us saw this coming as far back as 2016, and tried every step of the way to fight against Trump's rise to power. We are not all monsters. It's as simple …

You know, not all of us wished for him. Many of us not only saw all this coming from a mile away, but also fought against it every step of the way. I would not say have pity for ev…

Exactly. THE COCKROACHES CAN ALREADY SURVIVE NUCLEAR WAR. WHY DO THEY INSIST ON MAKING THEM _STRONGER_?!

You joke, but...

Haha, no way is the store I'm talking about ever hiring a security guard. Corporate doesn't give them enough money to hire enough people, let alone a security guard.

One thing that happens a LOT in retail is, say if a store closes at 10pm, a customer will walk in at 9:58pm, be there for 30 min to an hour, and employees HAVE to stay until they l…

Of course! It's fantastic. I went from Plex --> Emby --> Jellyfin and honestly if I could have afforded it I would have purchased the 100 USD lifetime license. They work really har…
