For the point I’m making, that’s close enough.

I will sometimes play with the weirdest little electronics, like a smart outlet or something, and the damn thing will have a little Linux distro running out of Flash and there’s no room to install anything but it’s got Vi on it, often as part of Busybox or Toybox. Nano might not be installed, emacs almost certainly isn’t, Vi or Vim almost certainly WILL be in there. For if you ever need to edit wpa_supplicant.conf on your coffee maker. Because we live in a world that contains that hell sentence.

The Republican party is a religion with two and only two commandments: Racism and fossil fuels.

Someone deliberately chose to break with POSIX compliance?

The reason why I’m on team Vim is because it’s standard. A copy of it is installed on pretty much every Unix-like system out there. Vi is built into Busybox.

Yeah I fucked up. I flunked flank.

My go-to example is an inverter I got for my drill batteries. It’s a box that plugs into my 20V drill batteries with a couple USB ports and a 110V wall outlet on top. It can produce 150 watts maximum from that socket. The reviews for this device are split between 4 and 5 star reviews from people who know what that means, and 1 star reviews from people who don’t. “Won’t run my air fryer. Would rate 0 stars if I could.”

Funnily enough, it was filmed in front of a live audience, and it is canned laughter. In the edit, they often replaced the audience’s genuine reactions with stock laughter for various reasons. For example, when Monica popped out from under the sheets with Chandler, the audience shouted for minutes on end, they trimmed that for broadcast.

OMFG cop procedurals. My parents watched so many of those fucking things that I sarcastically wrote an episode of one. Turns out that Federal Agent With Speaking Role IS Mr. Diddit.

Like…all shareholders?

Why shouldn’t anyone with an investment in a corporation be culpable for any criminal behavior of the company they’ve invested in? That’s a step or two away from “I didn’t rape and murder that little girl, my LLC did.”

Kitty is vexed.

You mean Eastern Spain? Where they speak Brazilian?

So we’ve re-derived living in a community from first principles?

Four years, tens of thousands of dollars, and charades about studying math, literature and history, to get a certified as “able to show up to work sober.”

If that’s your idea of education, you’re part of the problem.

Back in the good old days when homosexuality was a felony, the cure for autism was an ice pick lobotomy, and certain people would be killed for being caught in nice neighborhoods? Proper society.

Eating disorders are so last decade. She’s abusing Ozempic.

I bet if I was as active as I was as a teen, I could get relatively close.

Easily. From 14-17 I lived on a 5,000 calorie diet and struggled to gain weight, between marching band, PE, shop class, an avid skating hobby, a girlfriend, and growing in height. I could have easily eaten an entire chicken at the time.

Being a teenage boy is hungry work.

I can’t think of any.

The closest I can think of are games distributed on cassette for 80’s microcomputers like the C64 but I can’t think of anything you’d call a “console” that accepted those.
