I’ve been playing some hidden gem indie games from that era, too. Ever heard of “Super Mario World”? I’ve never seen anything like it.

The US Navy getting owned by a force that doesn’t have a fucking Navy is extremely funny.

If you want to give a gift that’s simultaneously very thoughtful AND a very shitty gift: buy him a pair of knee pads. Refuse to elaborate on why you bought them.

Motherfucker, you were neutral against Hitler up until you figured out that he wasn’t just expanding east.

I wear tankies when it is hot out.

TIL I am a centrist.

Consider the OneLobster009: you don’t have sex, because you’re a weirdo. RIP in pepperonis.

A Linux Wizard does not require a calendar. They simply arrive exactly when they are supposed to.

This is like if you did a Google search for Sergey Brin dumb, and the result was just the navy seals copypasta with your actual home address.

Web 3.0 is, more or less, what timeshares were to our predecessors. Here’s a thing you can theoretically use, but in practice, it’s useless and just cons you out of a ton of cash. And the theoretical thing will never actually exist.

Meanwhile, I am permanently banned from YouTube for uploading a 45 second clip of an episode of Star Wars Rebels as a private video to share with my kids, after we just (legally) watched it and they thought it was cool.

Such a good system.

I got an imprecise large language model right here for them

JUST WRITE GOOD CODE HOLY SHIT

Short answer: No.

Long answer: Your laptop desires are common, but unprofitable. Even if manufacturers charged twice as much for them, they’d lose out in the long run. Because you wouldn’t need to buy a new one every three years.

It’s the same problem that mobile phones have. Year after year, the number one complaint in consumer surveys is: “I want longer battery life!” It’s been like that for 20 years now. You’re never gonna see it. The battery having a short daily life—as well as a short lifecycle (before you have to bin the device because the battery isn’t replaceable)—is an intentional design choice. It ensures you keep buying The Coolest New Thing every few years. That’s money in the bank, baby!

of course it’s a fed, posting from feddit!

Nope this is a real cybertruck.

Labour aren’t spineless—they’re complicit. Outside of that very small window where Jezza was “in charge” (read: the donors fucked up, and fixed it shortly thereafter), Labour in our living memory has never been anything but Dollar Store Democrats with smart boy accents.

If you didn’t play EverQuest with Roger Wilco, don’t even talk to me about voice chat.

And always remember! Be bold! Be brave! Sorry, but as a large language model I am unable to assess ethical questions of that nature! And always follow your dreams!

I made bootleg tapes for my friends. I remember Little Feat and The Band were pretty popular choices.
