Everyone thinks it’s funny until they are tasked with writing the software to make the hands tick then suddenly it’s all like “we should stick to the standard” you know what, no! You like it so much you make the hands tick in numerical order and you better not have any of the minutes wrong.

Those pizzas are far worse than any atrocity Caesar might have commeted

Finally mankind has evolved beyond feet, 20 more years like this and we might move past furry’s too

They have a functional monopoly on game launchers, but it isn’t illegal to have a monopoly — it’s only illegal to use that monopoly for anti-competitive actions.

A monopoly in law doesn’t mean total (100%) market control; it means having the power to control prices or exclude competition. Courts often refer to this as monopoly power.

A monopoly could exist with as little as 50% of the market, or even lower. Steam has around 70–80%, which is easily enough to be considered a monopoly. However, you could argue that despite their large market share, they can’t truly control the market, since it’s their goodwill and consumer-friendly behavior that earned them that share in the first place — and if they ever tried to abuse it, people might go elsewhere.

Personally, I don’t really believe that. Considering your entire library is tied to their platform, they could pull all kinds of shady tactics if they wanted to. But it’s an argument.

As far as I’m concerned, Steam is the least evil of the major corporations. I can overlook the secret gambling ring and possible dark-money smuggling complicity because they seem to be a net benefit to consumers, and the harm mostly falls on those complicit in the scheme — as well as on China and Russia.

Edit, fixed spelling.

I told chatGPT to break the news easily

You like pools?

Hell yeah, I put the P in pools

No, no. I think it’s time. It’s going to be tough, but I do think you’re old enough for me to answer some difficult questions. You see, son, vanilla beans aren’t actually beans. I’m sorry you had to learn this way, but sadly, that’s not all. Coffee beans are not actually beans at all. No… I’m sorry, kiddo — what you’ve been drinking all these years is soy sauce.

I only laugh at the most serious of things for example, have you heard the trade of rare earth minerals has been used as a leverage in the political game of chess between the two global powers? Ha ha, he he.

$4,000,000,000,000÷4,000,000 = $1,000,000 literally we could turn all starving people into millionaires if we could live without an iPhone. I guess technically we would have to move the people in those fields to production or logistics or whatever but since the US creates 130 billion extra meals a year I don’t actually think we would have to.

I almost exclusively role my eyes when I see a new fork, the whole problem with Linux (distros) is fragmentation among the developer base they literally cannibalized themselves and honestly a new distro is not worth eating human flesh.

This seems fake, why would they use a separate computer for each drink type? Shouldn’t they all be dead?

So like did the children come standard with this joke or did you have to tell this joke to become a dad?

I too am going to be at around the bush.

Furry.

Just gonna follow you for national security instead that ok?

Hmm, red makes it go faster so you kill more people faster but they don’t suffer as long but blue gives you better team mates in matches… wait is this competitive trolley slaughter? I wasn’t expecting to need a team I guess I’ll choose blue because they will be carrying.

K, having a trans woman in your government gathering information is illegal and could get you executed.

Technically, 1 and 0 only represent the states of powered and unpowered (yes, it’s more complicated than that - shut up). While “true” is usually represented as a powered state, that’s only because of tradition - or more accurately, because we decided to label it that way. In the strictest sense, true only equals true, 1 only equals 1, and a transistor with a positive charge is simply that - a charge. Binary is just one way of representing these states, but so are hexadecimal, decimal, and even strings. It’s all a matter of convenience and convention - and those conventions don’t always follow strict logical rules.

My eyes are bad without my glasses, I’ll just pick the red and black one.

Are you? I think I would rather a car that doesn’t start than a car that doesn’t have breaks
