Sometimes it’s important To know if someone is a known satire account I say. Keep the OP imo. Maybe blur the pfp if you want?

No you didn’t.

This was exactly it! I had enabled it many moons ago but had to go and re-enable it. Thanks!

Thanks! This is very helpful. I think it’s an issue with our CEC settings on the Fire TV but I need to buy some batteries to confirm.

I’ll check this and make sure. Hopefully it works!

I’m not home to give specifics, but it’s an Amazon Fire TV. We use an Apple TV Gen 1 with it.

Can confirm. I used to sit on my dad’s lap watching him play Serious Sam and Diablo 2.

I love Only Murders in the Building.

I went to my dad’s office a few times as a kid. Never as a take your kid to work day, but he was a network admin.

I basically just played on my Gameboy trying to beat the latest Pokémon or he let me play Brick Breaker on his phone.

He showed me the server room and I thought it was noisy and cold, but cool.

This looks really cost affordable and efficient, but I’m not sure my wife will go for the DIY aesthetic.

What if you like your family more than your job? Hustle and bustle of the work/school week (even an enjoyable one) makes it incredibly hard for me to spend time with my family outside of weekends.

As a parent, I will always want my kids to do better than I did.

Emulator + GBA games

I think I licked a toilet bowl? I pretty much stopped playing truth or dare when I was like 12 though.

Ah I remember this phone. I remember when it finally died and I replaced it with an Android 2 that was R2-D2 themed. It still had a physical keyboard because I very distinctly remembered not wanting to use a touchscreen keyboard for everything.

I don’t know the specifics behind it, but even if VPN does work, or accessing TT through a web app instead of an app, that’s still 1-2 hurdles for the average user to jump through for their fix.

Some people will just not bother and then peace out to instagram reels or YT shorts or just drop off that kind of social media.

It fully depends on how many users are “savvy” enough to navigate those hurdles and how badly they want to navigate those hurdles.

In my experience when you’re working with a dedicated user base and you make a significant change, you can expect to lose around half your audience. Barriers to entry are probably going to increase that number, but obviously this is anecdotal evidence for future events.

I was under the impression that the TT creator fund was very minimal anyway. Or at least it was gutted recently and used to be somewhat okay.

Totally agree. I think she craves them because breastfeeding puts her at such a calorie deficit.

I prefer water, but my wife really likes Body Armor. Specifically a Tropical/Pineapple flavor.
