I actually used to stand brooms up when I was a kid working at Hardee’s. I’d get like 3 or 4 of them standing and then this pothead Joe and I would try to land dishrags on the handle like we were throwing a disc golf putter or something. Manager was not impressed

2017: Buy 2x 1080 Ti for 1500 bucks, your build is GOATed, have fun spending half your time tinkering with your overclocks and fishing for the perfect SLI compatibility bits in Inspector

2026: This. It’s a shame

I’d say ‘keeping up with the Joneses’. Getting tangled up in that whole stress trap is so innocuous that many people don’t appreciate how bad it is to push it all to the point that an affluent household is 2 paychecks away from destitution.

Supposedly putting a cheapo luggage lock on a door latch requires a coordinated effort involving a locksmith or a tow truck

It was a joke. Everything is self-checkout nowadays, so the cashier just narrating the play-by-play

Good GUIs are awesome. It’s just that you often cede control to a bunch of fucking idiots who somehow think if it’s not broken absolutely destroy everything that made anyone love it in the first place. ‘They’ll adapt’

If you’re really paranoid you should buy all your stuff in a brick and mortar store. You’d have to be high up on a list for it to even be worth someone’s time, but intercepting a package and swapping the contents is pretty easy to do, typical Tuesday multi-agency gun ring bust for some postal inspectors
