Help me find which subs I never need to read again: ban me so I know which ones to block. Thanks!

They forced an update that won't run on my phone.
- can't run the required version
- old version just tries to update
So I'm almost out anyway.
I like their chai lattes. I can't get the same taste anywhere else, and if I try to make it it's a "we have mcdonalds at home" result.
So about twice a year, now, I get a fucking c$6 latte as a treat. I miss 2019 with the many locations - one 80m away in my walkable block - and a really nice barista who made the effort to smile and chat directly. Now I have none of those things and this is like dia de los muertos.

Bill Gates spent a lot of his pro years running a bad company quite well, and exploiting a dominant position in the market that any soulless biz guy would love to have.
He seemed to get a conscience around the time he stopped running the show, and seems to be different while not regretting his behavior in that phase.
I think we can decide he was a bit of a cock back then, while still noting he's done some good work since. We are nuanced enough, right?

Some people have test environments that aren't their prod environment.
Others stick with a distro that has better validation and/or long-term support.
Please don't blame the kernel devs.

Didn't McDonald's outbid Timmy's and get *their actual* supplier, and that's why McDonald's coffee taste like Timmy's used to?

How I Met Your Mother
I get it - the timing of the last season and its pacing really shows the writers had to deal with a near-cancellation, and then getting a year to fill with 2 eps and sub-plots and clip-shows and really slow development.
But I still love it. NPH was a complete riot when all we saw of him since Before was this, and H&KgtWC , and I think he enjoyed the role of the incorrigible cad a bit too much; but the over-the-top stuff is still funny. The other actors were tremendous, and I think they enjoyed their roles most of the time too.
And my favourite character is the City itself. I miss it, and they dressed and staged it mostly lovingly and it was wonderful.
I'll watch it a few more times over, but I need a scorecard showing me the forward-references to look out for.

After a decade or two of increasingly bad reality TV , holding the phone *like a phone* seems weird.

The dimestore anarchy stuff is tiring.

> Gun control laws work for people of low intelligence or low moral character.
Ah, the No True Scotsman fallacy. It's so cute when a debate gets a dose of toxic masculinity.
I'm happy that I don't need a gun after leaving the infantry and handing in my work tools. That kind of fuckwit paranoia has no place after the 1900s.

ACTUALLY DITCHING my apple account was the hardest thing ever -- because they made it ridiculous. I don't have an iphone, imac, ipad or ibook. The process of leaving appleTV was so unbelievably onerous that I'm never coming back.
I hope Severance can come to a regular network some day.
