A perpetual license doesn't mean the company supports it forever; you know that, right? I have a copy of Quickbooks 2015 that I got the license key for from a closing company for about $25. I will never have to pay another dime for it, it's a perpetual license and will run indefinitely. I just don't get any updates at all, and I can't run anything that requires updates or subscriptions like payroll or advanced features. But that's absolutely fine for my purposes and works the same for many, many people. This is how things should be - if I'm fine with using an outdated version, there is zero reason I need a subscription license.

Genderfluid AFAB... I mean, I already know I don't exist, so I guess this user just confirmed it, lol

Because it's only fraud if a normal person makes money from it, duh 🤪

Oh, don't worry, that's only in urban schools.

(hint: urban is a dogwhistle for Black)

Wow, the PO Box analogy is the best, most simple way I've ever seen anyone explain 2FA. Thanks, I'm stealing that for when I need to explain it to my tech-illiterate family members for the umpteen millionth time :')

I mean, how about my boring example from work the other day? I wanted to double check whether priority mail had guaranteed delivery timeframes before telling a customer that they did not and if she needed something by a specific day she should use UPS. When I searched "is priority mail delivery date guaranteed", the first real answer, from USPS's website, was a resounding no, just like I thought. Guess what Google's AI told me? "Priority mail is a guaranteed service, so you can choose it knowing that your package will be delivered on the projected date."

It's fucking stupid. It's wrong. It should not be at the top of search results.

Nope. Plenty of places in the midwest only carry unsweet and "flavored", not regular sweet tea. The flavor is usually extra sweet fruit flavored syrup like raspberry or peach.

"Walking and mobility aid devices only", perhaps?

Not a fire performer, but an aerialist - I love circus arts but some people just should not do it. Not because they suck, or they've got the "wrong body" or whatever other bs, but just because they completely eschew anything safety related.

The number of people who assume they can just pop a hookup in their drywall ceiling, maybe checking for a joist first, and then hang a lyra from it and try to do drops or high speed spins on it is staggering. Or, like, hanging silks from a random tree branch. Or doing anything more than 3-4 feet in the air without a crash mat under them. Or trying to teach themselves from fucking tiktok videos. Please, please just stop. You're going to hurt yourself, and in the process you're also going to make everyone else's insurance rates skyrocket. Hate it so much.

Ah, everyone's favorite game: is this person playing Krieg IG because they like the aesthetic, or because they "like the aesthetic"?

Order online! TenRen Teas has the best tea, imo, while Adagio has mid to high quality at a decent price and a wide variety of types and flavors.
