It's not an MLM or pyramid scheme; it is regular sales employment. You're not getting other people to sell them for you nor are you encouraged to find others looking to join the sales team. It just sucks dick because the pay is shit (and they go through hoops to pay you less or nothing; which is where the scam part comes in), they treat you like shit, and you have to basically sell them door-to-door.
It's stupid because the knives are great products; I still have my sample set because they actually rock. They just only sell them like Tupperware clubs and only market them via word of mouth. They'd be making bank if they just sold them to retailers instead of fucking with young people looking for their first job.
I sold cutco knives for a month.
If you're looking for a job, stay the fuck away from anything dealing with "CutCo" or "Vector Marketing."
Edit: Its not really a pyramid scheme... They just do everything they can to weasel out of giving you your paycheck on payday and because it's sales commission, I don't think they have to follow minimum wage laws since you're not paid hourly.
Unless they've seriously changed how it fundamentally works (this was when I was 18). They never encouraged or paid extra for getting others to sell for you, like a typical MLM thing.
When I was a kid, I would get in trouble getting those Columbia House offers where they advertise like 12 CDs for one cent; but then charge a subscription fee every month. So I'm not 100% sure what my first one was, because I got 12 of 'em at once.
I know that's how I discovered Silverchair though. I just picked out their album Frogstomp because I liked the picture of the frog. 🤣
I still like every track on that album. Especially given the shit today where Suicidal Dream is basically my anthem...
Even outside of their space, when they "argue" it had generally been posting giant, random images that had little to no context followed by walls of emojis. Which is why my blocklist is mostly Hexbear users.
Did the question of androids dreaming of electric sheep actually get answered in the novel? 🤔
I would go back in time to 1995 and give John Carmack modern tools and maybe UE5 and see what happens.
Looks like cornbread infused with onions and cheese(?). I might have to try that recipe out cuz that sounds good to me lol
I planned on getting my dad a sound bar for his TV on his birthday because the TV he uses, the plastic grill over the speaker vibrates something fierce and it sounds like absolute garbage any time something with any amount of bass plays. But maybe I can just glue some rocks to it 🤔
A forum for the explicit purpose of telling jokes. You know... Like a comedy club? 🤔
If you truly want to see God, you need only look into a mirror. Humans are gods. We have the power of life and death. We can make the impossible possible. It just doesn't happen in the blink of an eye.
Which ones? The ones I get only have instructions for the whole bag or half the bag. I gotta figure out how not to burn them when I just want 10.
He also has a coke nail to open those pesky glass bottles.
No, but I give pause to allow them to answer before I deliver said punchline. Comedy is 10% what you say, and 90% delivery and timing.
Dwarf Fortress.
Not just best indie game, but best game period.
That's not untrue though... Putting rocks on your sound system could make the rocks vibrate against it and sound like utter shit.
Can't necessarily make it dumb, but you can change how the smart works without buying a whole new TV by getting something like a Roku stick or any other device similar that runs on android that you can then hack/modify to run side loaded apps and such to get around the bullshit built into the TV.
Of course if you're already planning on getting a new TV you could just get one that runs on Android already and do the same thing. Basically if it runs on Android, there are tons of tools to make it not suck all over GitHub.
It just reminds me of that animatronic alien from a certain I Think You Should Leave skit, so all I can think of for a caption is
"HER SISTER'S ADDICTED TO DRUGS! IS THAT BORING?!"
When VD is running, even if not running a game, it is streaming your desktop still.
Why? Without a connection to stream to it shouldn't be doing shit. Note, I am talking about the VD Streamer app that runs on the PC, not the actual VR application itself. If the PC is running and the headset isn't even turned on, the streamer is using a ton of system resources when it shouldn't be doing anything.

I am so hyped for this. Look at all the new shit! Havel's back! You can do kung fu! What's up with the dual wielded throwing knives? Weird monsters! New locations! And possibly a new boss to rival Malania! 🤯
I got a Quest 3 recently after having to give up my Quest 2 a year ago and I'm noticing that VD is using a lot of CPU power even when it's not actually doing anything. Is it encoding stuff even when there's nothing to send it to or what?
I always have to close it when doing flat space stuff because it causes some slow down in games that already don't run great (like arma 3).
I've been waiting for this. Finally noticed the update today. Was going fine until I got a draw on the last fight in the first tournament thing and soft locked the game as it will not progress past the end result screen.
Lemme see your transcripts, Doc. I ain't trusting my life to anything less than an A+, honor roll student.
I was talking about bg3 and how a certain part could be changed to be much darker, and it occurred to me that it possibly could affect the rating of the game if they did (being vague purposely to avoid spoilers). But then I wondered "do things like that even have to be reviewed by the rating boards?" Because Larian has made a lot of changes like that to the game and I imagine it would be pretty ludicrous to have each and every one be reviewed to see if it fits within the current ESRB and PEGI ratings of the game.
Just randomly started thinking about the first time in the original Sims game how I made a gay couple by making 2 polar opposites male sims, sticking them in a house they couldn't leave together and just making them flirt until they woohoo'd.
One was a big tough jock and the other a wimpy Poindexter nerdy boy. After they woohoo'd, the jock cheered and the nerd cried.
From my secondary account so those who may have already blocked me can see because fuck you.
So I saw this new option that would put suggestions into my already made playlists. I tried it; didn't like it because it kept mixing my normal music with my sleep music. I turned off the setting, but it still keeps blending suggestions into my playlists.
How the hell do I stop it? 😩
So I was talking to the Githyanki queen, but something didn't sit right with me. She asked me to do something I'm pretty sure is bad, and she is seemingly communicating through a hologram or something. So I said "you're a god. You do it." And then pressed further, thinking it was a deception.
Nope. I got literally wished out of existence by an angry god. Lmao
Only I and Lae'zel dont have darkvision, but I can cast Light. However, when I cast on myself nothing happens. When I cast on Lae'zel, she lights up the area. What gives?
With how old school this game does some shit, and how I've been dicking about I am slightly worried I will hit a hidden time limit, like in Fallout 1 before I even attempt to dive into the main quest. I'm not just gonna turn squidy all of sudden and end my game if I take too long, am I?
So before I end my turn, I always start jamming on my lute, standing over the body of the bugbear I just slaughtered.
I have just a single physical copy of a game, and I've just been leaving the disc in the console; but after seeing a few videos about older consoles and noticing the console slows down while the disc is being read I'm curious if there is danger to the disc, or the console or even if I could get a bit of a performance gain by removing it when not playing that specific game.
IDK why but the app isn't logging me in today. I also seem to be having issues logging into some instances through the website, but I'm not getting any errors or anything. It just goes like it's working but then when the page reloads, I'm not logged in. Took me like 15 tries just to get to the create post button.
The weird thing is I can still access my profile, I just can't view my subscriptions or make posts because I'm not logged in. Usually if I'm not logged in, I can't see my profile either. 🤨
Don't know if the issue is the app or the service itself.
I'm thinking about all the times I got into a group and felt off about the group for a while but couldn't put my finger on why until one or more people in the group come out as massively racist pieces of shit.
There are probably so many subtle signs a racist, or victim of racism, would notice that I simply don't because I am neither of those things. A few times, I've even questioned things I thought were odd but the racists lie and tell me it's nothing while non-racists call me racist for asking the question "in bad faith" so I am left ignorant and confused as fuck sometimes.
This is relevant because I really want to escape that bullshit and not end up associated with dickheads unwittingly by getting into communities of them that are really good at being subtle with their hate and with moving to a new platform along with so many others, there's bound to be some turds in the punchbowl.
How am I supposed to earn them if I don't even know what they expect me to do for them? Why do these exist? I haven't even encountered a game (not even a Fromsoft game, and those guys are notorious for being vague and not forthcoming with info even for guide books) where the hidden achievements were not already listed by a 3rd party somewhere outside of the game day 1, so why not just show them in the damn game?
I like to scroll through everything that is currently kicking off on sites like this. I get a huge range of topics to check out and talk about. But every now and then, something from a community entirely separated from my interests pops up and piques my interest a bit and I wanna ask a simple question, like "what's a <<specialized equipment I've never heard of before seeing the post>>?" but I also feel like asking is rude somehow.
Like, "What's with this guy? Everybody knows what a throngler is. He must be here in bad faith."
I just wanna know shit, dude. 😩
Tried to upload an animated gif through Liftoff to post and ended up with just a broken link. Womp womp. :(
