When I was a little kid I was in this exact situation but for different reasons. The lady who babysat me and my siblings had a PS1 that had no memory card in it. She couldn’t be bothered to buy a memory card because old. The PlayStation had one game and that game was crash bandicoot. If memory serves there might have been some kind of level codes that you could put in, but we never did for whatever reason. (The stipulation might have been that you get level codes after you complete an island, but it took us months to complete the first island). We just started the game over from scratch every time we turned it on which was every day after school and played the first level, second level, and so forth maybe getting up to the second island which is after the first boss. It really sucked the fun out of the game, and commiserating over it made that old lady super mad because she didn’t understand why we weren’t having fun or what saving was. The old game super Mario Bros 3 actually doesn’t have any kind of saving feature and it’s a game with about eight worlds. I remember as a little kid getting super good at the first three worlds, finding all the secrets, finding a bunch of warp whistles and stuff, and getting good enough to get to about the sixth world. What’s nuts is I didn’t realize but, the designers of the game made it to where that would be how it was played. These “Easter eggs” we’re intentionally put in the game to get you through it because you weren’t expected to finish it at one go.
Cream soda. I had a plastic dinosaur shaped cup to drink from one summer and was required to keep it the entire time. I drank a 2 liter of cream soda over a couple days then every single other thing I drank from it tasted like cream soda. Water, milk, other soda. For a whole summer. I don’t drink cream soda now. Weirdly enough, my brother, another dinosaur cup haver from that summer, loves cream soda.
The comedy is created by subversion of your expectation that college degreed people would not be working at a fast food place. The interaction is meant to be read initially as a neutral status interaction and then slides into a upper to lower status interaction as the post reveals that the answer to the implied question from the customer is that the cashier has an art degree. The initial humor is at the expense of the cashier. The next part of the joke reveals that the customer is, in fact, of true lower status of the two because they don’t understand the horror of a world that will result from devaluing those with art knowledge, exemplified in the joke as those with art degrees. The art degree here is a stand in for our capacity for human empathy and connection. What fools we would be without it. What greater fools could we become if we actively refused to cultivate it. We could become evil, and that fact, that true evil that can exist and we could have blindness to it or even become it, is the comedy here. The banality of the customer here, the interaction, the shittiness of it all, that is the comedy. How this helps, it was not generated in any way by AI and it’s fuckin sad that I have to say that.
I am genuinely confused and do not understand what a paid plex share is and how it ruins things for everyone. Would you be able to elaborate? I’m a jellyfin user and haven’t really messed too much with Plex. I’m curious if allowing screening of your personal collection to strangers on the internet is considered piracy?
I think it’s supposed to like the en- in entrenched. To be trenched would be to be put in a trench but to be entrenched, well, that’s when you already got trenched. Now have been inside the trench. The tench is all around you and you’re stuck in a mire. So things get shittified, then they stay that way until they just get mired, I mean just completely covered, in shit. At that point they are enshittified. Trenched is a made up word, but so is enshittified. I guess Doctorow could have called it shitslapped or shatblasted or whatever.
Yt-dlp can use user authentication to pull videos as well. The flags are -u (username) and -p (password) . Example: yt-dlp -u username -p password url-goes-here . Hope this helps. The more we can rely on programs that we run on our own machines, the better. Even better if it’s free software.
I installed in on my machine from the software package manager. It doesn’t have the feature to bind to a specific device (this is a must have for me so I can use my VPN without IP address leakage). I read a horror story on hacker news about a person getting fragmented CSAM on their hard drive by running an exit node (running an exit node is trivially easy with the program). Noped out after not being able to bind to tun0. I went to their website, mostly academics polishing research papers from my point of view. Sketchy looking ui, uninstalled.
