  • As in, he could not possibly have been hired anywhere to perform any job by anyone qualified to be a hiring manager. He's unemployable. All he knows how to do is buy other people's companies and install himself at the top of them.

  • I had a 3DSXL and the 3D gave me intense headaches within minutes of turning it on, and you had to hold your head at a perfect distance and angle from the screen that I was basically never in. So I just kept it 2D at all times. It also helped with battery life and framerates, I remember turning 3D on in one of the Pokémon games (Y maybe?) and it chugged down to like 10 FPS in battles.

  • I had a pen like that when I was very young, had to be maybe in the 5th grade. It exploded on me because I chewed on the end of it while thinking. Parts of my homework desk remained blue until I graduated high school, I'm lucky my teeth didn't also.

  • If you were checked for hereditary diseases (you were, as a part of this) and then actually develop any of those diseases later in life, insurance now has a surefire way to tell you to go kick rocks and die.

  • This entire argument can be made identically for Half-Life 1 and 2 requiring people to upgrade their PCs to be able to play them.

  • I keep this one around until then

  • Lex Luthor is downright benevolent compared to what we have in the real world

  • My favorite variation on this I ever heard came from one of my coworkers a few jobs ago. I forget the exact context, but:

    "Hey [Name], can you get this done?"

    "Can the Pope's dick fit through a donut?"

    "....I don't know?"

    "Exactly 😎👉"

  • Because the only real law of human society is the Golden Rule.

    i.e. He who holds the gold can make the rules.

  • At this point I hope he does. Shake 'em by the ankles until change stops falling out.

    The dildo of consequences rarely arrives lubed.

  • Only because he was matched up against the most hilariously inept and unqualified opponent in the history of American politics, and even that wasn't enough to save them twice.

  • A cooperative, wide scale Erebus manhunt could bring peace to the 41st millennium

  • From the party who brought you "Keep your politics out of my [X]" it's incredible how much time and effort they put into forcing politics into every fucking thing. Can't play a video game, can't watch YouTube, can't watch the actual TV, can't listen to a podcast, can't even walk my dog down the goddamn street in my own neighborhood without being slapped upside the head six times with Reich-wing bullshit.

  • Yep. That HV capacitor will turn you into orbital bacon with a quickness, and it keeps a charge for way longer than you'd ever think was realistic. In the same vein as "assume every gun is loaded", also assume every capacitor is charged.

  • I stay defending the weird genius of Yoko Taro's art to my brother and I stay being vindicated about this

  • Yeah. Their proper remake of SS1 was excellent and I was looking forward to something similar for SS2. Especially a balancing pass on the skills to make some of them not completely useless.

    Even remaking SS2 on the engine they used for 1 would have been welcome news, but it's not clear that they're doing that either.

  • In all seriousness microwaves are the #1 leading cause of death for hobby electronics people, be careful around them and know what you're doing before you open it.

  • This will be the third or fourth "once in a lifetime economic crisis" I've lived through in my lifetime and I'm barely 30.

  • If the company becomes unprofitable, it will need money from outside to keep going, and in an environment of quickly falling share prices [...]

    Oh, oh, I know this one! The answer is "a government bailout!"
