The machine I have to use at work was updated to windows 10 two months ago. One of the software we use for our job is hosted on a VM running Windows 98.

The wilderness was millenias ago. I don't buy it.

We have perfectly evolved the ability to use technology. We evolved past the hunter gatherer lifestyle.

Nobody walks past a berry bush and is like oh wow I need to harvest all of that in case I can't find any food tomorrow.

I mean, I do, because I love berries, but I don't carry a basket around just in case. I explicitly head out to collect the berries and people look at me like I'm a crazy mfer. There's this massive blackberry bush right outside work. When they get ripe you can easily harvest a whole bucket of them every 3 or so days. Then there's the strawberry patch next to the dirt road that lead in the forest. Etc.

It was beef but I guess I talk more about beer than beef for the autocorrect

Damn, someone's on a hare trigger. It was just a joke mate I got no beef with you.

T9 was eons better than trying to cram all 26 letters of the alphabet on a touchscreen

But eating meat does not involve fucking animals in the process? What kind of weirdo butcher you were going to.

It's not really a joke. He basically said the poor are poor on purpose. Not their purpose, someone else's.

People who buy things just because they pass by them is crazy to me

Like, I'm not a poor boy by any metric (I make above median wage here) but jfc do people have literally no will power? Like they see an ad on TV/The internet and immediately feel the need to consume?

Granted, my shopping lists are vague (usually just like 'meat&vegs for x days') and then once i'm there I pick what's on sale and strikes my fancy, but I don't buy a fucking spare toaster oven just because the store moved the aisle and you need to go past the kitchen appliances to get to the meat.

I have yet to use an alternate search engine for any length of time (and i've tried a few) and think "ah yes, this was the kind of results I expected from my search", they're systematically worse than google, which is an incredible achievement, considering how absolute garbage google is nowadays.

Brave, which i'm using now, is atrocious with that. The amount of irrelevant bullshit it throws at you before getting to the stuff you are actually looking for is actually incredible.

I never had to pay extra fees or a deposit, from airbnb or any other like app. But then I put some research when I book where i'm going to spend my vacation.

Which is something you should be doing when booking hotels anyway.

Discord us great for a starting project with a few folks where rapid replies and collaborative work are key, and you only have a few users.

Once you have grown past that phase, get a fucking forum.
