The only reason most of these things feel forced is because people are more perceptive and media literate now. It was always pretty corny. If anything I think it’s better now.

For those wondering about what specifically happened with each:
Minecraft - microtransactions on Bedrock edition
Reddit - API changes killing 3rd party apps and streamlining ad delivery
Netflix - Pricing and library changes making it less and less of a good deal
Chrome - Manifest V3 killing uBlock Origin and similar content blockers
Windows - Increasing numbers of ads baked into the system, poorly-made features like Recall, and lack of hardware compatibility with the TPM 2.0 requirement
I found the OP and their post got deleted, but the only comments she responded to were the supportive ones (maybe 1 or 2 out of dozens of “wtf is wrong with you” reactions).
The poster has a history dating back 2 years so I don’t think it’s a troll, or if it is it’s convincing. I just can’t believe anyone would actually want to name their kid fucking Blessica. Absolutely revolting name.
For those saying they didn’t know about this, it’s because they never actually released anything. They got shut down unexpectedly before they finished any projects. Allegedly there are still some in-development games based on Netflix properties that will still be released on their gaming service, and the service itself will stay up. It’s just the studio itself that was shut down.
Not really AAA at all, no.
Man I hate these fucking headlines. The race is insanely close and news headlines like this aren’t helping that. It just helps reinforce Trump’s narrative that media outlets are irrationally out to smear him.
I imagine it’s to pad runtime.
The centipedes have learned to draw. Not gonna fool me.
KDE bricked my install on my main desktop after updating to the latest LTS too. No idea how that happens. I’m on opensuse leap now.
I think the other person was just pointing out that the current conflict between Israel and Palestine is a modern creation and is primarily caused by western imperialism and a failure to hold Israel accountable.
My brother in law does this. Gets so close that you can’t see the rear tires of the car ahead, going 80+ mph. He’s been in multiple wrecks, including one where he totaled his custom BMW and almost died. He blamed the other driver (somewhat reasonably, they were drunk, but he was driving like a psycho), and refuses to change any of his driving habits.
He also used to street race in Florida, with his family in the car. No, they did not consent to it, they’re just too scared of him to say anything.
I leave 2-3 seconds following distance minimum on interstate highways.
No, it’s pretty uncontroversial that imperialism was one of the goals of Israel as a project, even from its founding.
Edit: This is getting downvoted a bit so let me evidence this.
After WW1 the League of Nations formalized British control over Palestine. This mandate facilitated Jewish immigration and settlement, which furthered Britain’s interests in the area and improved their relations with Jewish communities. The establishment of Israel led to significant displacement and conflict for the Palestinian Arab population, which was largely ignored by Western powers at the time.
In other words, Britain exerted their power over a foreign nation through expansionism, which is the literal dictionary definition of imperialism.
So yes, imperialism unquestionably played a role in the establishment of Israel. Whether that was a convenient by-product or a driving motivator is a matter of perspective, but it’s foolish to say it didn’t play a part.
Maybe it’s that prices are increasing? But that’s across the board.
I think the penguins would learn to just swim away, and the bears would starve since they would need to expend a lot of effort for a small bird versus the calorie-dense seals they’re used to.
Oh, well that changes everything then /s
Thrifting is ruined
Music and movies are getting worse
Romance is dead
Authenticity is dying
Dude no, you’re just depressed. Go outside.
It’s an AI image. There’s a lot of impossible patterns and geometry here. Look at the floor under the rock and the pattern on the bedsheets lol. Also the ceiling is curving and the rock would be clipping into the wall from this perspective.
Something similar happened to me. When I was walking home from high school I found a quarter on the ground. I was craving potato salad so I went to a deli and asked them for a quarter’s worth of it (they sold by weight). The guy at the counter looked really pensive and then was like “you know what, take it for free”. He definitely thought I was a homeless teenager. I lived a block away and had for over a decade, and I went there all the time. Super awkward.
Don’t worry, they’re only 5-9 mm big and are generally chill
