I remember when I was growing up my parents were always saying "son you better kill yourself if you want to get married." And on wrestling night, Randy Savage used to stand up on the turnbuckles and shout "AFTER THIS, MACHO MAN IS GONNA BLOW HIS BRAINS OUT." He was a big role model for me.

This feels like it's from 2015. Nobody uses the word patriarchy like that anymore.

This comic never made sense to me. She hates sea lions because they don't let people talk shit about them. Seems like she's the problem here in neo london where sapient sea lions live among us. They're here, get over it.

If they're both ugly and crazy they'll be pushed as far into the outskirts as possible. When I worked evenings at Walmart I would always see the night shift people come in and they all had some kind of facial deformity and were hard to communicate with. I never see people like that at bars or anything, just working, and only in jobs and shifts nobody else wants.

You'll rarely see a crazy person who isn't hot because if they aren't hot you won't see them participating in society.

For comparison the original StarCraft game asks for 80 uppercase megabytes of HDD (76.294 of whatever we're calling the lowercase thing today) and for RAM it asks for 16MB/15.259mib.

Modern web development in a nutshell.

They sell eggnog year round now.

Everyone thinks they're talking about the human skull and nervous system but if someone is sitting in ther bedroom on a PC it's really not all that different from being a brain in a jar, it's just a different interface and the brain can leave.

Has the update process crashed completely?Or will I have to wait all this time again if I restart the process? With windows you eventually get used to not knowing these things.

That's the one I'm talking about but it's not preinstalled anymore and they're taking it off the store at the end of next year so I decided to just leave asap.

I don't see any of these places actually struggling though. Sure it takes longer to get mcdonalds but like I said I've never seen a closed mcdonalds even during snowstorms. The employees ALWAYS make it work. I used to work at a Tim Hortons which was "short staffed" but you should have seen the stacks of applications we had pouring in. They were like small town phone books. Almost daily interviews too. But nobody else got hired the entire 8 months I was there. Management had "help wanted" signs up, but they clearly didn't want help very badly. The "worker shortage" is nothing but pure bullshit on bullshit on bullshit. Literally nothing is true about it, not even what you're saying that the jobs aren't worth it. Even the worst jobs have tons and tons of people competing for them.

Windows used to have an email client that was just called Windows Mail. It wasn't Outlook and it was actually quite a nice little email client as far as MS software goes. They announced that it would be discontinued though for the sake of getting everyone into outlook. I started using thunderbird instead.

I don't vote very much because that's just too much responsibility for me to handle.

Jacket = corporations

Uniform = the government

small powerless creature = poor people

The climate change debate

Pikmin is a pretty cool character too. He's an astronaut scientist who has a lot of respect for animals and nature.

She would marry Metroid

I feel like the word content itself is completely wrongheaded. How much "content" does Tetris have? What would more content in a game like that even be?

Has anyone else noticed how wild it is that in the service industry, despite the supposed crisis of shortstaffedness, things like McDonald's never have to close locations even temporarily? It was never easy to work at McDonald's yet all the workers pull through every single day with so fewer people to do it all. And they get less for it too. It's beyond me how people could see the current generations as anything but the hardest workers since god knows when.
