Apart from the admittedly over the top hyperbole about the NES, what portion of my sarcasm would you say qualifies as a strawman?

“Dear fans,

“We’ve seen the feedback online that everyone is unhappy that our new generation of hardware and software is too expensive. Nintendo listens to customer feedback, and we appreciate your enthusiasm for Nintendo products!

“In response to the community, we’ve updated our license agreement so that if you even think about not paying us, we’ll kick you off ALL our stuff and cancel every other Nintendo thing you have! We’ll even send a brute squad to your house and smash your legacy NES we can’t brick remotely in front of your kids! Nobody messes with Nintendo!

“Now, get out there, and buy, buy, buy!

“Sincerely, your friendly, caring buddies at Nintendo.”

To a certain extent, I agree with you. It is even in their own book— turning the other cheek. And despite everything, I think kindness always counts.

That said, there comes a point where I feel I need to see if I can drag the horse to the water rather than hoping it will follow me there. If it doesn’t, perhaps it is a lost cause and I should go find another horse. Know what I mean?

It’s just hard to find where that moment is, especially if it is family.

Don’t worry, you can upgrade to Duolingo Max for even more money and have the AI explain it. (Seriously.)

I’m not crying, you’re crying!

What a cool story.

Hey guys, got this really great idea. We generate a lot of electricity, and then we use that to make compressed hydrogen, and then we use that for our cars. Also we need to figure out how to warehouse it for fueling, and how to transfer it, and how to store it effectively once it’s in the car, but once we get through ALL of that then we’ll finally have a hydrogen powered future and we can…. Wait we could just put the electricity from the first step into the car and eliminate the rest?

Rip the bandaid off. It was very nice getting rid of the toxic family I had when I was young. You don’t owe them anything.

We saw what happened with toilet paper in 2020 and said “wouldn’t it be great if everything could be like this? At least we wouldn’t have a black lady as President!”.

I’d look to see if your tablet could drive a USB-C monitor for the video/textbook screen. You can pick up pretty good 14” ones from HP and Dell for like $130.

What the fuck

So no plane sales and no jobs it is, then.

The company might be able to. How about all the workers they fuck over while they try to survive, though?

Just buy another hard drive, damn.

If history has taught us anything, it is that the Ukrainian people are smart, creative, inventive, tenacious, and determined. I have no doubt they will excel in this and in everything else thereafter.

I’m not afraid of you; I value my privacy. There’s a difference.

Why aren’t you practicing what you preach and post under your real name? Are you a scaredy cat?

Hell yea, Canada. <3

One of the original Windows CE-based PDAs. Fuck that thing was a nightmare to use and even worse to sync to your PC. Early mobile technology was a lesson in frustration and disappointment.

Cars are like onions; they make you cry.
