I don’t think that. Your pet knows how to tell you when they want to be left alone, or when they want to play. My fiance’s cat uses his paw to push my hand away when he doesn’t want to be pet, and I will respect that boundary. When I had ferrets, I would let them initiate snuggles, just because most of them aren’t keen on being held. I had one that would sleep in the bed with me, and another that would climb up on my shoulder while I was sitting on the couch and lick my face. I had a cat that would beg to play fetch and meow until I threw her hackey sack.

Agree. Pets are hostages in your house and have no other companionship. Pets should be spoiled with attention and spending time with them, and treats.

She told the MP to meet her after school in the playground!

As someone that had pet ferrets over the course of 2 decades, I 100% agree!

let’s not forget 2 girls 1 cup.

😆 Taco Taco man.

I was thinking the same thing in terms of order of events.

TPM your memes bring me so much joy. Let’s all raise a glass to TPM and wish them good health and a long career in memes and shitposting.

It’s the enshitification of triple AAA titles fucking slapping surcharges on EVERYTHING; day one dlc, microtransactions, always online DRM, the ability to revoke access to the shit we pay for, it’s death by 1000 cuts. EVERY anti-consumer action, every attempt to squeeze more of us while delivering the same rehashed shit over and over. Yup I will keep playing my old consoles and the games I own. The intent of us withholding our money and refusing to purchase your shit is to provide publishers with a sense of pride and accomplishment for retaining their customer base.

Fuck me if I want to have sessions with my psychiatrist that aren’t recorded and transcribed by AI. Tech companies lie all the time about what they promise, like encrypting their data, and then just pay the fines after the fact, because scraping our data to train models made more profit than the fine. Yes, my doctor rolled out a system for telehealth that prompted me to sign documents agreeing to the use of AI. A procedure code and diagnosis code is the only thing that’s required for medical billing in instances where prior approval for services isn’t required, there’s no need for a transcription of our entire fucking session word for word for my DR to bill and get paid; especially when there is plenty of transcription software he could purchase to operate in house, WITHOUT AI.

AI is being forced down our throats in so many industries that have NOTHING to do with writing code, for the purposes of reducing headcount because the line must go up.

Tell me you didn’t read the article whithout telling me you didn’t read the article. The point this article is making is that AI is driving up the cost of purchasing NEW components, and that this issue is affecting console makers as well as the PC market. Additionally, consoles that have been out for several years, (PS5 released in 2020,) haven’t dropped in price, since in theory, demand should be low by now, but instead the prices have risen since their original release date.

I updated my PC a year ago, because before that I was rocking DDR3 ram and a 12 year old processor and GTX1060. My old PC was struggling to render newer titles with high settings and was not win11 compatible.

Fuck the gamers that want to upgrade their rigs to play newer titles on high, or people that don’t already have a PC or console and are making their first purchase, DireTech already has a PC that can play titles and a backlog of games.

infect it with bedbugs, then leave it on the street with a free sign.

Daijobu?

Right. I’ve always wanted to hug MTF trans people extra hard. You lose your male privilege and get to be harassed/be fearful of men, or you try and live as your sex assigned at birth with crushing gender dysphoria that can lead to depression + other mental health issues.

THE PROPHECY HAS COME TO PASS.

She gives off Tonya Harding vibes.

Dun, dun, dun, another one under the bus.

It’s like that vegan joke. How will you know if someone is a linux user? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you.

silly me making registry entries and edits to remove their bullshit from the OS.

The internet is for porn.
