Give me a break.

I’m glad I’m not the only one that’s had to suffer through this kind of crap.

My last company did a yearly circle-jerk session like this where the leadership literally recorded “intro bits” of themselves like you’d see on a jumbo-tron at a sporting event. You know, like a snappy montage shot of them nodding their head or waving or some shit with fire around it.

And then they literally played these clips on a giant screen with intro music while they came out on stage. It was the cringiest, most ego-fueled, shit I’ve ever seen from a company that could barely manage their basic operations.

People who say these things clearly have no experience. I spent an hour today trying to get one of the better programming models to parse a response. I gave it the inputs and expected outputs and it COULD not derive functional code until I told it what the implementation needed to be. If it isn’t cookie-cutter problems then it just can’t predict it’s way through it.

We’re fortunate enough to be close to a couple major cities that have some small business options. Otherwise Costco has been a great bet like the other comment mentioned. We’re also trying to avoid Amazon more but it can be hard for some specialty items. We figure that spending less on there is still a positive step.

We used to spend a good amount of money at Target and now we won’t go anywhere near it. It was great for gift shopping and seasonal stuff but we’ve figured out better options with retailers that don’t have gross values.

Wow. 40 Years of progress and it still fucks up my indenting and pullet pointing in the worst ways possible. Looking forward to another 40 years of rage-quitting to go use applications that actually work.

Love the dialogue here but you always have to follow the money trail. The best way to keep what we love is to bankroll our instances to keep them running and scalable to additional users without ads. Remember, if you aren’t paying for the product then you become the product. Meta has nothing without selling ads or monetizing user data. That’s their business model. As long as we chip in we can always maintain our independence. I’m fine with never seeing or interacting with content from Threads.

The ad exclaims that your husband will think “it’s better than downtown.”

What are they serving downtown that is being outclassed by this?

The developer for RIF told me to come here. I figured that I should trust the person that created the app that I’ve used for hundreds of hours.
