I swear Windows just gets dumber & dumber.
The best version was Windows XP, it's been downhill ever since.
Just installed something that rebooted.
Want to run it, can't find it anywhere. I remember there was 'new' label in apps list once, not now.
Running a new app? Not a thing, it seems.

Always so unimpressed with bio's mentioning being a parent.
Like, that's something teenagers can do on the back seat of their parent's car without even meaning to.
Want to brag about an achievement?
Tell us you've been fucking each other for 10 years and never got pregnant. That's an achievement.

This rant brought to you by Ampol.
The survey for their app that lets you pay for fuel/charging at the pump.
Frequently says there are no pumps at the servo you're at.
ie. unusable.
Telling Ampol staff at the counter gets an indifference so powerful you'll doubt your own perception of reality.

Don't cha love the company surveys that totally avoid asking anything about the aspects of their service that actually need improving.
They're the same ones that never have a general "tell us anything" section.
The survey delivers glowing satisfaction without finding anything that needs fixing.

I’ve weighed myself on digital scales before and after a dump many times.
No matter how impressed I’ve been with my performance on several occasions, scales have never shown a different weight after.
Granularity of the scales is about 400g, guessed from other observations.

Climate crisis is so bad Bill and others like him won’t accept that it’s true.
The truth is so catastrophic they fund those trying to prove otherwise, because they won’t accept reality. They can’t, it threatens everything they hold dear & care about.
Their billions can’t stop it, if it’s true.

Thing about rich people and taxes,
they love to complain about it,
they just don't really care about it.
Tax just doesn't affect them in any significant way.
It affects their accountant more. They'll spend more avoiding tax than the tax they should have paid.
