I mean the classic is that you must be “really good at computers” like I’m okay at debugging, just by being methodical, but if you plop me in front of a Windows desktop and ask me to fix your printer; brother, I haven’t fucked with any of those 3 things in over a decade.

I would be as a baby, learning everything anew, to solve your problem.

Yeah you can tell the installer just had a time limit hard-coded, like it took them about two minutes on their test machine,

Literally shuddering. RIP The epic Doom megawad I was working on for two years 😥

Well shucks, that sucks

Well yeah, one of them involves standing up to corpos and the other one would require actually talking to your kids, and conservatives are nothing if not cowardly, so

That sounds very much like the valourisation of what would eventually morph into “disruptive innovation.”

Older money loves feeling like it’s hip and cool for investing in the promising young upstart. They get to rage against the machine while driving it

Wow I can see all that in the movie, but didn’t know it was an explicit choice! This Cameron guy sounds pretty cool

My dad has been that guy! We sure ate a lottt of Silver Wok during that time 😋

Yeah if investors can’t make cartoonish returns for doing literally nothing what’s even the point of gouging customers??

I thought this instance was nice! That is weird
