T9 was eons better than trying to cram all 26 letters of the alphabet on a touchscreen
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.
1·2 days agoI 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.
Y’all speaking like ‘chores’ have you put in a maid outfit and deep clean their house.
Chores are ‘leave the place in the state it was when you got in’ and ‘take your trash on the way out.’
Sorry my man but that’s just common decency. If you’re not a family of slobs that’s like 10 minutes of light work before leaving. JFC.
I rolled my eyes so hard I sprained my optical nerve.
Other search engines are even worse than Google lmao. Brave consistently provide literally the worst results. Duck duck go same.
Are you actually serious.
Why the fuck are you defending google so hard lmao.
Google will absolutely put bad information front and center too.
And by using Google you make Google richer. In fact you get served far more ads using Google products than chatGPT.
What’s your fucking point lmao.
To get a decent result on Google, you have to wade through 2 pages of ads, 4 pages of sponsored content, and maybe the first good result is on page 10.
ChatGPT does a good job at filtering most of the bullshit.
I know enough to not just accept any shit from the internet at face value.
I use Wikipedia when I want to know stuff. I use chatGPT when I need quick information about something that’s not necessarily super critical.
It’s also much better at looking up stuff than Google. Which is amazing, because it’s pretty bad. Google has become absolute garbage.
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.
