Or . . . you load that old save game and think, "oh yeah. NOW I remember why I stopped playing this."

And you could afford a rack of ribs big enough to tip over your car.

Isn't it amazing how often the Miracle Whip people end up in the hospital emergency room whenever they have a serious medical problem.

Not being able to breath has a way of reorganizing your beliefs in a big damn hurry.

Someone will find a way to take a looped video of them watching their computer intently and feed it through their webcam. The ad battle will never end.

If "your call is important to them" they would hire enough people to answer the phone.

Yup. What YouTube doesn't understand is that we've got ** other stuff to do.** I've got books to read, games to play, music to listen to. None of which requires YouTube.

Being able to touch type an on-screen keyboard with your eyes would be amazing, but we all know the real reason for this invention would be to make sure you're watching the ads.

Let's see: Socialism: A system of government where the country's wealth is concentrated into a small, ruling class of billionaires, who use the media they own to keep the lower classes fighting with each other while they . . . the rich . . . run off with all the farking money.

Oh wait. that's capitalism. I don't know how I got those two systems confused.

I think the widespread adoption of Linux is only going to happen from the bottom up. Corporations aren't going to widely adopt Linux until Microsoft becomes a costly liability to them.

It will probably be the result of CoPilot. Will it be a huge data breach of bank or healthcare records? Will other governments flat-out refuse to run an OS with built-in spyware? Who knows? But it will be something awful that might even get our "mainstream media" to sit up and take notice.

Basically, don't make definitive statements about things you don't understand. Just try to be as helpful as you can with the knowledge you have.

It also helps if you're not struggling with a narcissistic personality disorder that causes you to make definitive statements in the first place.

This. You promise lots of stuff with "the people's" in it, and then you create something that is indistinguishable from 19th century, robber baron capitalism.

No nation on earth has ever actually practiced communism that isn't just a small, ruling class of billionaires, who use the media they own to keep the lower classes fighting with each other while they . . . the rich . . . run off with all the farking money.

The only exceptions to this were small communes, run by people who actually read Karl Marx and who weren't vain, greedy, brutal a$$holes.

I think Proton is the smartest thing Valve has ever done. Thanks to that, Steam is going to get about 90% of all the Windows gamers switching over to Linux.
