    Please define "eurotrash" so everyone can point at you and go "see folks, this is how not to be a human being".

    Windows didn't make this company do this.

    MRA, MGTOW and other incels are not quite the best example of "legitimate" channels getting booted or demonetized. Some would call that draining the swamp.

    While I despise the whole lot of these vloggers and youtubers, now you're just being an asshat. Please define "real job". Nothing wrong with what they do for a living, if they had anything creative or interesting to create and share. Sadly, this Youtube "economy" is built on neither.

    Gmail and Android are still very much around.

  6. "Creators" uh? on YouTube's Top Creators Are Burning Out and Breaking Down En Masse (polygon.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    For fuck's sake, stop calling these people "creators". If I film myself yabbering about some product I was secretly paid to rave about (after the obligatory "What's up you guys!", before filming some friends and I acting like idiots in a store, followed by the obligatory "make sure to subscribe!", I didn't -create- shit. This is me filming myself being yet another completely insignificant brick in a boring wall. None of those so-called Youtube celebrities have anything to offer beyond racking in millions of views from some even less interesting people. If more of these attention-needing jackasses could have a burnout and sooner, maybe Youtube would be a bit less of a shit vortex, but I'm not counting on that.

    Or, you could go and fucking do the groceries yourself or, gasp, along with her!

  8. Key point being a legit opportunity. An ICO is not a legit opportunity, not in 2018 and onwards.

  9. When someone promises you investing into something will make you a millionaire, what they're really trying to say is "Invest in me so I can be a millionaire." That's all there is to it. The fine print reads: "Go fuck yourself".

    Seriously. If I had the money to invest in such a thing, the last thing I'd put my money in is -such a thing as an ICO-.

    Americans like to call "leftist" pretty much anyone they disagree with.

  12. I don't think you realize the irony of your signature in contrast to your statement. Regardless, I have to inform you not everyone is part of your church.

  13. Re:With Tablets is this even relevant anymore? on One Laptop Per Child's $100 Laptop Was Going To Change the World -- Then it All Went Wrong (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Uh? Back when netbooks were still a thing, you could get a decent one between 100 and 200$ tops with Win 7 on it, and not necessarily the Starter version mind you. This in canadian dollars, so you could definately get a netbook for around 100$ US. Your 600$ was for laptops.

  14. Wrong thread, Vladimir/Ivan/Igor.

    Who would've thought that request #252 would follow #251 ?

  16. With appropriate respect... so allow sex workers to practice their trade with dignity instead of criminalizing them.

  17. Next time you "see a SJW", remember that "SJW" is some label you've put on pretty much anyone you disagreed with that registered anywhere on the left side of the political spectrum which you're somehow stupid enough to see as some homogeneous block of people.

  18. What you refer to as "SJW" staunchly defend the right of sex workers to do as they wish with their body. Unless you're talking about some random people you've decided to label as "SJW" simply because you've disagreed with them.

    What do your misconceived ideas about the left have to do with bitcoin mining?

  20. It's 2018. If you rely on your car's computer to keep you alive, you're a fucking idiot. You don't deserve to die, of course, at all, but don't be so stupid that you expect 2018 tech to work like it's 2040 already.

    At this point I'm just waiting on Nestlé, Pfizer and Coca-Cola to also announce they're pausing their autonomous vehicle development. Is Burger King also working on AV tech?

  24. Yep, it's 2018 and 2 years and a half after release I still haven't heard or read one bit of info or news story about W10 that makes it seem like a good idea to upgrade.
