Any company that becomes publicly traded gets turned to the dark side. That's the factor that does it because they have a legal requirement to do everything they can to maximize profits.

Trying to sustain perpetual growth will always lead to companies fucking over their customers and employees.

Lol, thinking opera composers were rich people.

Right? Any relationship takes work to maintain, so expecting things to just magically work without putting in any effort is a recipe for disappointment.

Also, the whole opposites attract thing is kinda bullshit when you look at 40+ year marriages.

You're just trying to get the device into a known good state.

The truth is that it's rarely worth trying to find the root cause of an issue unless it's a frequent problem.

Something somewhere went wrong. We don't know if it's a hardware or software issue, so we'll try a solution that covers both.

Powering the device off stops the flow of electricity, and waiting a few seconds makes sure that any capacitors (think of very tiny, very fast batteries) bleed off the power they've stored. Then turning it back on makes it go through the full startup process which is likely to result in a working state.

Chevron paid them a lot of money.

Their entire goal is to repeat history. They want non-white people back in the fields and women back in the kitchen. They want to go back to a time where only rich white men have rights.

This is actually really, really good advice for adhd people. Telling people your goals gives you a dopamine hit like actually completing the goal does, so it makes your brain less likely to continue since it already got it's fix.

And like the other 10 companies that own pretty much every brand in the country.

That's the point that's being made.

If operating a microwave interferes with any of your 2.4GHz networks, you need a new microwave.

It's not surprising. I mean, there's a reason jokes about hating your spouse are called boomer jokes.

I mean, I've been diagnosed for like 25 years now and I still have to do this.

It's your app and the sites the gifs are hosted on, not Lemmy. Most instances aren't going to host gifs because they take up a decent chunk of space.

Personal preference is now fact, apparently.

But will this work on my house that somehow has all lights on one breaker and all outlets on another, but still has a breaker for almost every room?

Many classical composers were basically like pets rich people owned (sponsored).

My best friend as a child lived like 4 houses down the cul de sac from us, and I was literally at his house every day.

But still, every day I'd knock and ask if he could play, despite his parents telling me over and over that I could just come inside whenever I wanted.

I blame my parents.

I mean, it could absolutely charge everyone subscriptions if they wanted to put the final nail in their coffin.

Yup, they want it to shut down so they can somehow blame it on the democrats.
