I love it when typos create new words that fit so well.

A lot of unpopular "features" and behaviors used to have DISM, policy, or registry workarounds. And MS seems to love to kill those workarounds during later updates.

If MS isn't letting people uninstall it, there's a reason for it, and I'd be willing to bet that users will one day find that it has been magically re-enabled by an update.

I guess it was inevitable that my fellow millennials would carry on the age-old tradition of shitting on the younger generation's new slang, styles, and behaviors. I don't know why I thought we might break the cycle.

They don't care as long as they can get in, make a few bucks, and get out. Long-term stability isn't the priority anymore, just quick profits.

Guns kept in a car usually aren’t required to be locked up if the car itself is locked.

This varies widely from state to state, with different requirements for loaded vs unloaded, concealed carry permits, and accessibility requirements.

There’s not much point having a gun in the car if you have to ask the carjacker to wait nicely while you fetch your gun from its locked container.

So use a quick-access safe mounted in the vehicle or get a concealed carry license and keep it secured in a holster with you. No excuse for leaving it accessible to a child.

I was presented with this captcha before completing an online purchase this morning on my phone. The window is too small to see all of the images or the "Verify" button.

I did eventually realize that I can swipe upwards to scroll down a bit and see the rest, but there's no visual indicator to do so. It took me a bit to figure it out.

I don't think he is saying that an inability to differentiate between foreign languages is racist, but rather that given a random shithead who holds truly racist beliefs, it is unlikely they will be able to recognize differences between Asian languages.

To put it more generically, most people in Set A exhibit Trait B, but having Trait B alone does not mean you are a member of Set A.

PS2 is retro now? Damn, getting old really does sneak up on you.

Some portions of the ASVAB have questions very similar to those you might find on an IQ test, but it is much more broad than just IQ.

The ASVAB tests for aptitude, hence the name, not the ability to step into a job without training. Looks up practice questions for the Mechanical Comprehension portion to see the kinds of questions that might suggest someone could be a good mechanic.

The U.S. army absolutely does provide training to its mechanics, and does not assume people know jack shit coming in. I scored high enough on the MM portion of the ASVAB to be one and don't don't know a damn thing about fixing vehicles.

It's only a matter of time before it's not an option anymore. Every shitty new behavior they put in is an easy-to-use option at first, then a registry setting or policy, then even that goes away and it gets baked in.

Thanks for the insight - jump humping and soaking sound like the kind of bullshit my parents would believe because it was featured in some local news story.

Most "teen trends", especially those related to sex, are just wildly blown out of proportion "stories" based on a couple of people trying something weird, someone else hearing about it, and now suddenly all the teens are doing it.

It reminds me of being in high school when my mom asked me if my girlfriend's jelly bracelets were a sex thing because she heard about girls owing sex acts to guys who can break one.
