It's obviously just two mates messaging

With today's toughened glass/ lab grown sapphire industry we could have a full see-through tech renaissance and wouldn't even have to go back to polycarbonate

Is that a North American thing?

I want translucent tech back in the mainstream :(

I'm old enough to remember when "a Nintendo" meant "a game console."

i wish. aside from the fact that it’s over 100 miles away and i have no transportation, someone already called dibs in the comments maybe 30 minutes before i screenshotted lol

I mean, if you're going to sell it to me, especially with game, for $35 you can call it anything you want as far as I'm concerned.

At the time it was popular

im one of the people who liked that controller.

Yes, and also go get it.

It's for church honey NEXT

I thought that I needed a couch, but then I remembered about the stool in the kitchen.

To be fair the UK has this vibe too. I still use PTSD from all the crappy jobs I’ve had that now as a software developer when my manager is nice or does the right thing it doesn’t feel right as I’ve internalised decades of abuse for minimum wage.

What is worse? This

Or me messaging a seller the same day they post an ad, and then every 3 weeks after without any reply only to then get a reply 4 months later that the thing has been sold (the ad still up and listing it as available).

America is owned by control freaks who think accommodating people makes them "soft" and lazy, and therefore making less money for said owners than they theoretically could were they operating like the perfect robots the owners would prefer to have.

From the outside looking in it’s like you (America) doesn’t want its staff to be comfortable. We have seats at our checkouts but didn’t see that in America either.

Saw that when I was a kid in Europe, but virtually never here in the US.

Someone else satisfied her free couch needs more immediately

My work has a couch, it’s not leather but we have one. I’m a software engineer at a 6 person company. In fact I’ve had many jobs with couches, mainly in call centres.

Need for it to work, not need it for work.

One minute window of “nope don’t need a couch anymore, that need has been fulfilled.”

What was okay, & what kind of work uses a leather couch (outside of a psychologist, maybe - who I'd think would have no problem affording a ride)?
