[23:31] IsambardPrince MinceR: Well, going "Oops, did I pull into the gas pump wrong? My bad!" is a lot different than public masturbation, thankfully. [23:31] MinceR :> [23:32] IsambardPrince MinceR: Apparently "SEGA!" means male masturbation in Italian slang. [23:32] MinceR lol [23:32] IsambardPrince I guess having the Sonic the Hedgehog cartridge screaming "SEGA!" in Italy didn't go over well. [23:33] MinceR pajero means wanker in latin american spanish [23:33] MinceR so i guess it's not surprising that the Mitsubishi Pajero was sold as Montero there... [23:34] IsambardPrince Apparently, it literally translates to "saw". [23:34] IsambardPrince But that's also a slang for male masturbation. [23:35] MinceR :> [23:35] IsambardPrince MinceR: They should have saved the cartridge space for more levels. [23:36] IsambardPrince Sega marketing forced that onto the cartridge even though it wasted almost 10% of the cartridge to yell "SEGA!" at you. [23:37] MinceR they could make an add-on cartridge that has more levels and requires the original cartridge to be plugged in on its other end [23:37] MinceR then it can just read "SEGA!" and other assets from the original cartridge [23:39] IsambardPrince MinceR: I might just say fuck it with this phone. [23:39] IsambardPrince Google doesn't want to fix it at their expense. [23:39] IsambardPrince I might just buy a Pixel 10 for the $599 and then trade it in for $235 towards the new phone. [23:39] IsambardPrince When it turns on it's unlikely that it will malfunction while they're just doing a test. [23:40] *HexDroidUser has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [23:47] IsambardPrince MinceR: Some woman was complaining that Subway took seafood off the menu and raised prices. [23:48] IsambardPrince I said, "Well when people insist on overpopulation and pollution, which causes inflation and ecosystem collapse, enjoy that I guess." [23:50] IsambardPrince Niles, Illinois has a severe shortage of apartments. [23:50] IsambardPrince Rent is on fire. [23:50] IsambardPrince Instead of 600 apartments, they have a dead mall that has about 10% occupancy. [23:51] IsambardPrince There's still a JC Penney's that has almost no shoppers anytime you go inside. [23:52] IsambardPrince The movie theater is still there. [23:52] IsambardPrince Probably Penney's is only open because they got their rent way down. [23:54] IsambardPrince MinceR: I talked to a property manager for an apartment that's been listed since January. [23:54] IsambardPrince He won't rent it to me because I filed bankruptcy six years ago. [23:54] IsambardPrince I said, "But you're perfectly happy getting no rent for it for who knows how long?" [23:55] IsambardPrince He said, "Yeah, ever since COVID property owners are really picky about who they'll rent to in case they have to take you to eviction court." [23:55] IsambardPrince I said, "Yeah that makes sense, at least this way they're guaranteed to pay property taxes on something that nobody is paying rent on instead of risking a 2% chance of having to evict tenants."
