0·26 days agoI completely forgot about the term SJW until this little dig into history.
0·1 month agoYou weren’t kidding! This is a rollercoaster ride of incredible twists and turns!
The problem, according to three former Cooler Screens executives and a former Yahoo executive, was that their clients thought of the screens as “shopper marketing,” an old-timey ad category that covered in-store promos like the balloons or cardboard displays that clerks hang over cases of beer. Spending in this area was far lower than the more lucrative digital ad rates Avakian hoped to charge. One of the former Cooler Screens execs says that Avakian wanted marketing dollars well above what the industry was willing to pay and that his lieutenants could be preposterously condescending on calls with the Yahoo sales team, which at times devolved into shouting matches. “The Yahoo people hated them!” this former exec says. “Their MO was to ride them [Yahoo] like Secretariat.” (A Cooler Screens spokesperson says that this description is inaccurate and that Avakian’s relationship with Yahoo executives remained positive.)
Condescending calls with Yahoo sales team. Fucking hilarious.
If it helps, they also lock a lot of product, requiring employees to come and help customers directly.

It’s like they made their stores as hostile as possible to shop in.
They just keep finding interesting ways to fail!
Reminds me of the tweet that made fun of twinks being ugly and his DMs was filled with twink photos and he was like, “Haha losers I wanted lots of photos of hot twinks.”
You sir are playing 4D chess and I commend you.

We can only make assumptions here.
My guess being in a marriage leads to an urge to first-person shoot.
With this extremely limited sample size, we can only conclude that single women do not play FPSes. If that girl is playing Balatro, assume you have a chance.
Shit. I just realized my gamer wife didn’t fit this. She’s been playing Valheim. I’m giving bad data.

0·2 months agoYou’re not the only one. I bought a Steam deck because why not. I didn’t have a use case.
But every month for a year, I continued to play more and more on Steam deck over PC.
It’s reaching a point where if i had to choose between upgrading my graphic card or buying the next iteration of a Steam Deck, I’m going for that next Steam Deck.
Me hooking up my PC to the TV. 🤮
Me using Steam Deck to play on my TV. 🤩
My stupid ass read this as a non-alcoholic Irish Whiskey and got confused when I saw milk.
This is still great! Thank you!
Haha! I do enjoy when I convince my anti-social friends to come to a party and give them a chill out room to recharge and tricks to getting the pets to play with them.
I like drinking alcohol or taking legal substances during certain events. Feeling a bit of floatyness while watching the sunset is a great feeling (in moderation).
If that feeling doesn’t mean anything to you, thats cool and no judgement.
I think about how some cultures eat dessert as a closure to their favorite meal, and thats the only metaphor I can think of.
RESPECT.
I have the same rule. No alcohol 24 hours prior to driving.
It’s easy for me though, since I can take a bus, Uber, or even walk. And I have no urgency in my life where a car is required like that.
Headaches. Vomiting. Like the flu.
I learned a few tricks to avoid hangovers. Drinking water in-between drinks, ramen noodles before sleeping(or whatever your favorite soup is) and avoiding getting to a point where the world spins when your eyes are closed.
I never heard of bazzite before! Thank you for the recommendation!
I absolutely love the comments on RPS. It’s hits like these which makes me keep coming back.
