They sure do want to abridge that freedom of speech and right to peaceably assemble.

Setting up a stupid question just to deliver a pun as a punchline is 100% a dad joke in my book.
I’m interested to hear what you think is required for a joke to be a dad joke.
It seems like it was a situation where everyone felt like they got a good deal and nobody felt taken advantage of. He gave them a better deal than they were going to find anywhere else.
To me, it doesn’t sound like he was exploiting his friends.
Dad jokes are classically built around puns, as is the case here.
Setting up context doesn’t make this a knock knock joke.
11·7 days agoI agree with your sentement but sometimes places become gentrified and the original inhabitants can no longer afford to live there.
I’m not saying that it’s good or the way things should be but it is a reality.
If his math is right, and assuming that his property tax is about 1-2% of his home’s value per year, then the value of his home has increased about 15-30x the original value.
Its hard to be sympathetic.
Enshitified product exists - > good alternative arises to meet demand - > good alternative becomes popular - > good alternative either becomes enshitified to maximize profits or is purchased by owner of original enshitified product.
The capitalist way.
Complains that bubble needs to pop. Is trying to sell a condo but has it priced too high to attract any buyers. Doesn’t lower price.
My dude, your desire for more money is the bubble that’s holding back the sale.
Your scenario is a microcosm of the whole market.
I remember watching a TV news report in the mid 90s, before Amazon, Netflix, Google even. AOL was a big thing and people with personal computers at home were mostly just messing around. There wasn’t a lot of e-commerce. The news anchor was lamenting that all these people playing on their computers were just a wasting their time “browsing,” as if no activity has value unless it can be monetized.
Fair enough.
Just be sure to keep lubricated while you permit all that sliding.
These are the kinds of highly plausible suppositions that I come here for.
Well, I don’t know much about the resolving power and maximum refresh rate of human vision but I’m guessing that the monitor they described is close to the limit.
The analogy refers to someone who has their thinking constrained to the current situation. They didn’t imagine that computers would become resource-intensive multimedia machines, just as this person suggests the cable wouldn’t be asked to carry more data than would be necessary for the 8k monitor.
I can imagine a scenario with dual high resolution screens, cameras and location tracking data passing through a single cable for something like a future VR headset. This may end up needing quite a bit more data throughput than the single monitor–and that isn’t even thinking outside the box. That’s still the current use case.
Do you have a crystal ball over there? I still think it’s a clever analogy.
640k of RAM should be enough for anybody
I think you could taste a little lower, while you’re down there.
Frame it however you want but this was how 12-20 year old American males spoke to each other in the 90s and early 2000s.
It’s only satire here because their doctors are talking like that.
6·1 month agoI mean, you can still leave your cell phone at home but you know you never do.
As if an excuse would have even been necessary.
You know you love Meddusa.
There’s no real danger so they can just stand there, feel tough, and get paid. Well done, boys!
