There’s a certain amount of discourse in KotH fandom around exactly how all four childhood friends came to buy houses on The Alley behind Rainey Street. Apparently the canon is hazy and inconsistent, though I can’t remember the details.

I think OP’s meme illustrates Feynman’s point very well; there comes a stage where if the number of incorrect statements in your explanation outnumber the the correct ones, it’s no longer a meaningful explanation.

Look at that young whippersnapper. I had one for my discman.

Sure, I’m just bemoaning the fact that you’ve taken cloud hosting to be the default. It’s as much a complaint about the world in general as anything specific to you. Good luck with it all.

I’m old enough to consider the framing of the question to be weirdly loaded.

It does not feel that long ago where people would be asked to justify entrusting their product’s functions and data to a bunch of strangers who can make unilateral decisions about your service with zero comeback. Now we’re being asked to justify not doing that.

Commerce isn’t the same thing as capitalism.

All bases should be quoted in Base-1, the basedest of bases

Your life can be so much better if you get over the notion of having to own things. Almost every luxury out there can be enjoyed without having to own it, as long as you’re able to discard the consumerist propaganda that you’ve not enjoyed it properly unless you can take it home.

The giant jpeg square artefact on the side of Homer’s head in the first frame undermines the message somewhat.

I usually screenshot it in place with alt-print screen, paste it into paint, crop it to size, and save

I got into a long debate with someone who wouldn’t accept my claim that pi is 3.

My reasoning was that 3 is accurate to the number of decimal places it’s quoted to, which is all you ever can say of any given value of pi. Like, pi might not be exactly 3, but it’s not 3.14159265358979323846 either, because both values still have infinity digits missing.

Everyone has that one moment when they realize just how expensive a good box is if you need to go out and actually buy one with money.

Came here to post the exact same thing

You posted almost verbatim what I was about to write. It’s a proper “don’t shit on my pie and tell me it’s a blueberry” moment. That’s not what friends are.

I don’t get the hate. If a game is fun to play, then I’d much rather have the option of playing it with better graphics. People ITT are acting like the existence of remasters prevents new games from being made, which I don’t believe is actually the case. The bulk of the work on Oblivion Remastered wasn’t even done by Bethesda developers, but by an external company that specialises in art production.

I wish they’d do a proper remaster of Might & Magic VI in a modern game engine.

Glinner is the biggest argument I’ve seen against Death of the Author, because once you know you’re supposed to be laughing at the marginalised character and with the characters mistreating them, it’s impossible to find it funny.

There’s lots of examples of it too. The first time watching the theatre trip episode where a judge in drag opens the play, I’d read Roy’s discomfort with the show being “too gay” as a joke on Roy being out of his element; we were supposed to laugh at his discomfort. But on rewatching it’s hard to shake the idea that actually Roy’s defence of “I don’t want his sexuality rubbed in my face” is meant as something the audience is supposed to identify and agree with, and that far from being a knowing playful nudge at gay theatre the whole thing was a mean-spirited caricature of it. The meaning does get changed whether Roland Barthes likes it or not.
