I genuinely prefer the graphics of older games...

This is because a lot of older games were going for an artistic style, the graphical fidelity of today's games was too far out of reach. BioShock is a perfect example because of its beautiful art direction.

AAA games used to have character to them, now every person has to have 1200 individually rendered pores and a remaster every few years to make it look more realistic (cough cough The Last of Us)

He was also shutting down mail sorting machines during the largest mail in vote in American history.

He was kept in the position for a few reasons, one of which was since he was a Republican appointed PMG, it was easier for reform bills involving the PO to pass. He helped gain bipartisan support on removing the retirement pre-funding bill that was costing us a shitload of money.

Probably the only good thing he's done besides announcing his resignation, but even that means there's gonna be another Turnip appointmented PMG.

10mm socket, commonly known by mechanics to be the single most lost tool on the planet. Most cars use them a lot, but they're always nowhere to be found

Same with curved TVs. I knew a guy who dropped $2500 on a 65" Samsung Curved TV thinking it was the coolest thing ever. He mounted it on his wall and quickly realized he made a mistake because of the horrible viewing angles. Unfortunately for him, he threw away the box at the store because it would t fit in his car, so he was stuck with it.

Does Dementia Don even know how to drive? Are his tiny hands even capable of handling the wheel? Won't his leaking diaper ruin the interior? Will he poorly put bronzer on those white seats just like his face?

To be fair you don't necessarily need an Apple iPod, there are plenty of other mp3 players that are on/were on the market before. iPods are just the go-to for most since it's the most widely recognized. I'm sure you can find a couple basic players at your local dollar store if you prefer to not use an Apple product.

They've partially been revitalized in the mainstream again by YouTubers such as Dankpods or Zac Builds making upgraded versions or reviving them for modern use.

There's still choice out there for other players, but most are sold as smart phones without a cellular antenna, such as the Fiio flagships or the Astell & Kern players. I could even argue an old Android phone with a headphone jack and all other apps removed with ADB could work as a simple player as well.

I'm using them lol I know I could sell all 3 for a good price, 2 are EVGA K|ngP|n cards and one is a FE that has a very good overclock potential. I'm not looking to upgrade now, they still work fine.

The GPU market is a goddamn disaster. Nvidia can't even put the right amount of ROPs on a card or back up their "5070 is a 4090 hurr durr" claims, AMD ditching higher end GPUs, melting connectors, AI, AI, AI!!, etc. Even with Intel's Arc GPUs it's not enough to compete when Nvidia has all the market share in consumer cards.

I've got a 7800xt, a few 3090s in various gaming/video editing systems and a RX 6400 for a backup card. I'm not buying any more until this AI bubble bursts and cards start having actual amounts of uplift from generation to generation and when I can buy one without them getting botted to hell and back.

Exactly, I've got a backlog of games a mile long and an even longer backlog of movies and tv shows. I'll finally have time to enjoy them all and won't have to leave my house more than once a week for groceries and weed gummies. Only 24 years to go 🤞

I'm a carrier for USPS, I have a guy on my route who often orders Volkswagen parts from all over Europe. One day he got a replacement subframe for one of his VW's from Estonia and it arrived at our office pretty beat up. When he needed to sign for it he saw the condition and I told him that's how we received it. The shipper sent it by just sticking the subframe in a box, no padding, no supports, just a cardboard box for a trip around the world. He obviously was upset and had another one sent as a replacement after filing a claim.

The replacement was packaged exactly the same, and luckily only slightly bent on arrival. The old one is still sitting in our office in limbo.

If you're gonna ship something overseas or across town package that shit properly

Just saw the notification for this in my Youtube Studio. For now it seems as if this setting is turned off by default, but for anyone like myself who uploads videos to Youtube, I recommend checking that they don't decide to toggle this on for you in the future.
