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.

I wear tankies when it is hot out.

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.

They did. It’s true.

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.

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

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

Today I learned: the “conspiracy theory” about the oil industry killing electric cars in the 90’s was absolutely true.

It seems he wasn’t whistleblowing to expose the war crimes but because he felt troops were beyond overinvestigated!

He was concerned that a couple grunts were going to get scapegoated for what a ton of absolute monsters were doing. Like Ben Roberts-Smith—decorated war hero who walks free today—uh, I need to spoiler/content warning this gorefest, said:

Yeah, that guy gets to walk free and get rich off public speaking engagements. McBride, though! Exposing that evil is malfeasance and needs to be PUNISHED!

You dome some kids for fun, so you can jerk off to it later? Victoria’s Cross material, national hero. Tell the public about it? CRIMINAL.

Will the barbarians choose socialism or barbarism? Shame nobody’s ever written on this before.

The places that are primarily ethnic Russian? And voted overwhelmingly to secede from Ukraine in 2014? And then have been subject to an illegal bombing campaign by Ukraine from then until October 2022?

No investigation, no right to speak.

Well, kudos to your infinite patience for stupid dicks JusT asKINg QUesTioNs. Mine ran out ages ago. So now I’m just mean about it.

The answer to the question is, “None,” because it’s a stupid question.

It’s like if somebody said they hate cars, and we can do without them. Then some stupid asshole said, “I see. Should we return to the horse and buggy? Perhaps the rickshaw? Chariots, perhaps? Maybe a world where kings are carried on a throne upon the shoulders of slaves? Or maybe just piggyback rides? Kindly ignore the existence of trains and bicycles. Thanks!”

I reject the premise of the question, because the question isn’t asked in good faith, and is fucking stupid.
