done, now what?

What side of this debate am I on if I have a dedicated gaming PC that stays plugged into the TV, that I interact with exclusively through a gamepad? Or my buddy who plays Xbox on a monitor at his desk? This isn’t about PC or console, this is about couch vs desk.

Came here to mention this one. I’ll be 36 soon and that story still haunts me 20 some odd years after reading it in class. Link for the curious.

this. milk is fucking disgusting.

it’s still a market, and “free” is still a price point

the joke is the guy bitching about illiteracy thinks 40 words is too much to read

native english speaker here, the joke comes across fine and I literally laughed out loud. people who try to police words/grammar/humor like the guy you’re replying to are pathetic losers and nobody likes them. keep making funnies in my language and i’ll keep laughing and upvoting them!

whine about literacy

proceed to call two sentences “a lot of words” and pretend it’s a lot to read

this guy desperately making an asshole of himself trying to troll people is funnier than the meme

i think you’re just salty that your inbox blew up with people telling you what an idiotic blowhard you sound like

linguistic prescriptivism is for weird losers bent on controlling others’ thoughts. the joke is fine, i think you’re upset about something else here.

more like

“have you seen Mindless Action 7: Ultimate CG 3: The Reckoning yet?”

no, I don’t keep up with Marvel movies, they just don’t appeal to me.

“well it’s insert 30 minute lore dump and it ties into the ending of Space Hero Movie 3 because insert 20 minute side rant about Space Mask Guy’s entire history while also being an indirect sequel to Weird Magic Dude 6 because of when Weird Magic Dude altered the timeline by extended synopsis of Weird Magic Dude 2, 5, and 6 which ties into the Unremarkables Netflix series, that’s why indicipherable gibberish, and then The Bulk eats a car with Alien Skin Chin inside and Shrinky Dinky has to get him back out again! It’s amazing, you gotta see it!”

idk man i watched Metal Noggin and Space Hero Movie and didn’t really care for either of them, the genre just doesn’t appeal to me. i’m glad you have a thing you like but it’s not really my bag.

goes to internet “why are people so vocal about not liking marvel movies, as if we care?”.

it’s kind of dramatic to frame “hey it’s not cool to use our platform to jokingly encourage would-be assassins” as “capitulation” to such-and-such political movement. by all means make assassination jokes in private but it’s different when it’s through a megaphone like that - we live in an age of stochastic terror man, that shit’s been weaponized for a decade now and it’s silly to pretend it isn’t as long as the “joke” reflects your own feelings. this is some maga-level mental gymnastics, maybe think more about it.

Dude Socrates was convinced that reading and writing would ruin everyone’s memory who grew up with it. Whining about <innovation> somehow handicapping the next generation by making them “too dependent on technology” or whatever and couching it in reasonable-sounding terms is as old as language, and time always makes fools of those who indulge in that sort of masturbatory delusion. You’re just jealous we had cooler toys, own it.

edit: replied to wrong user

I spent most of my 20s alone, and met the woman I married at age 33. It’s never too late.

and here i’d been blissfully unaware of it for days now. damn you all.

(wear earplugs to concerts kids, especially if you’re playing)

yes.

For the curious, the image is from the movie Automata starring Antonio Banderas, which is more or less an extrapolation of I, Robot’s premises in a PK Dick style post-apocalyptic setting. Worth watching IMO. wait nvm i looked again and it’s K2SO lol im high

i didn’t make it, but my read on it was as a critique of male-gendered products go over the top injecting “masculinity” into their branding. they do mention the pink tax (“20% cheaper for no reason!”), i don’t know that reactionaries would include something like that. Either way, I agree wholeheartedly that tampons for men who need them should be normalized.
