I loved Sierra games back in the day, but I would never expect kids today to care about them. Meanwhile, a guy I know is like "Why don't my kids want to figure out this frustrating game that doesn't let them be creative like literally every game they've played up to this point?"

Fast food: "Y'know how nuggets always come with free dipping sauce, right?" Customer: "Yeah?" Fast food: "Well, what if we pre-dip them for you and charge you more, and say they're new?" Customer: "Eh..." Fast food: "Wait, we haven't told you about our Ketchupy Fries yet!"

Really frustrated because Mint Mobile always renewed a day or two AFTER my paycheck dropped (first the 18th, then the 16th), so the money was always there, but this month it says it's going to renew a day or two BEFORE, and I can't figure out how to get it to delay a day or two.

Me: *eating a chocolate donut* "This is awful." Her: "So why are you still eating it?" Me: "Because a bad chocolate donut is still better than no chocolate donut."

Hey, various brands/companies/organizations: Just in case nobody told you, whenever you add AI features to your product, you lose the respect of a significant chunk of your consumer base. (I was gonna try to fit a punchline here somewhere, but it's not really a funny situation.)

Not sure if it's true, but I just read that starting Nov 15th everyone's tweets will be used to train AI, which I'm not on board with, but rather than delete my account, tiny musk pen is mall sad clown paintings dancing with emerald nepotism beta shenanigans in cyber lemons.

PSA for businesses: if your mobile app login doesn't have the option to view the password that we're trying to enter on our stupid touch screen with our thumbs, then your app is bad and you should feel bad.

I wish I could disable the F1 key, as I'm never looking for Help when I accidentally hit it.

I wonder how disturbed the first person was to hear carolers singing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" at them: "Honey, there are some carolers outside demanding figgy pudding... and they say they won't go until they get some."
