Paramount+ is even worse in Canada. It was a hot mess on trying to find where show were early on. It’s not a full app like the US version. It runs as a add on tier inside the Prime app.
Then at my Firecube home page it offers to install the full Paramount, and the Paramount+ app then after the install it says the content is not available in my country. Clicking on any of the Paramount show links takes me to a app that won’t load the content due to country issues. I need to manually go into the Prime app to find the Paramount shows.
There a few other apps like this too and some I can’t even remove but it sure will notify the crap out of me about the updates for them.
Potatoes fall into this category too of both delicious and nightshade fun. So tastes great like anti freeze but it takes a lot longer to finally get you.
That’s a great point. Often straight guys have lower standards and I was looking at it from that viewpoint. Women often complain most men see all of them as a potential sexual partner and I’m not sure if they are wrong in a lot of cases.
Still I wonder really there is no one in the whole city, province, or country that is a match? The smaller pool is something I should factor in though if I’m being fair.
In addition most of my relationships have been with people not originally from the area but neither am I.
It’s funny no matter which side we are coming from we rarely get checked on our views in our social media curated echo chambers.
In the old days we would have been pulled more to the center due to most people in real life being a little left or right of it.
I still think many really are but that doesn’t sell ads or moves people to vote like what about them outrage or think of the children boogie men do. It’s a shame how polarized we’ve become.
The gf’s father is like this. Every visit is a story of some famous or rich person/people he spent the day with as a buddy not an employee of, or the more common one of his outage and how he one upped someone or put a group of people in their place, at least in his story.
Then he wonders why his son doesn’t want to deal with him, while I see his adult son being a outrage clone of him in a way with stories of injustices against him. His rage is simmering as he tells the stories about every employer, coworker, supervisor, or government agency that is wrong or out to get him. Lately it’s been how the school teachers are plain wrong when it comes to how much of a pain his son is becoming and how his lectures of these elementary teachers is going.
In relation miss my late father’s stories of how much the little town I grew up had changed since my last visit which was often the same stories or my other family members do nothing stories that never change either. The energy level of that is pretty low looking back now…
I seem to get the version on how wasted they got and sick they were afterwards. It’s like they unlock new achievement badges each weekend by how much they throw up the next day.
I’m left thinking you’re getting into your late 30s or 40s now. This isn’t your teens and early 20s anymore.
I’ve enjoyed when seeing some of these hard partiers mature and nope out now after a few years. But honestly being a alcoholic seems to the baseline starting place for many when it comes to socializing.
I know I’m a drag for them when I’m at a nice hotel and I’m not joining in with a cooler bag full of beers or hard stuff to get the party started before going to dinner. The gf is younger and a little frustrated I’m just not interested in that anymore or was I ever really.
She’s coming to terms with her inability to not be sick after a night of drinking as she gets older now too. Being health conscious she’s coming to the realization that alcohol consumption is perhaps not the best thing for her long term either based on the health of her long term friends still trying to keep up with being wasted every weekend.
I was always envious of my gay buddies and their ability to just get it on and not deal with the traditional female vetting process even for hook ups.
There were some good parody videos on the differences between early Tinder and Grinder dates highlighting them.
Then I noticed most have the common story that there is no one decent to date locally despite all their good friends being gay.
The only good ones are out of town or far away across the country. Not sure where it is now but I’m still envious if no matter how hard they try to get pregnant, there isn’t the risk of 20 to life from being truly successful…
I watched a instagram video recently where the guy was up at 2am and decided it was a good time make brownies. I’m like dude these days at that time it’s usually a my first restroom break as I’ve been asleep since 10pm. It’s not time to whip up gramma’s brownie recipe from scratch…
Yet another new one I’ve not heard about. I’m in the Linux gang barely as I mostly run Mint these days. So I’m Windozes adjacent but in Linux it seems…
Perhaps it could be like copyrights and patents? If you don’t defend them, you lose them, and in some cases they expire after a set amount of time and then they can be used by others
It’s amazing even for the cheaper CnC machines in other industries running on Dos or Win95, 98, XP. I use to have to maintain the hardware of these older PCs as the initial outlay to replace the machines was fairly high compared to stress and much lower cost of finding old hardware.
In the end with the modem equivalent CnC machines on the lower end we would only see minimal upgrades to the functions of the machines, versus the updates to the software. Let’s me honest that would become obsolete yet again within a few years.
