It’s porn-adjacent.

Definitely don’t lock yourself in with them and repeatedly stab their lungs in a flurry of blows on both sides. That could cause their lungs to collapse and / or fill with blood, which might result in a death by either filling your chest with air but still gasp for air, or drowning in their own blood. And nobody wants that.

Yep. It was a sad excuse not to intervene in 2014, but now? Pathetic.

Oh shoot. It was a great joke and I totally missed. Woooosh.

“Hey, this is exactly like a strawberry pie, if you replace the strawberry by veggies and meat, and the pie by water. It’s actually a stew.”

By all means, do whatever comparison you want, but I’ll reserve the right to disagree.

Could you point me to the ones that did?

I did, but the direction is reversed. XKCD talks about how standards multiply and get more complex. This is talking about a different motivator for computing technologies, which is having a leaner, simpler alternative, that eventually gets bloated.

It’s talked about in this thread. The short version that IBM built a logistics machine for the Nazis that was used to coordinate the transport of supplies for the war effort and transporting people to concentration camps.

The lesser of what?

Slightly different though.

This isn’t talked about enough.

I’m not saying this isn’t a good storytelling technique, but saying “I was <professional reference > in the <time >” is super common between people that getting to know each other.

What you purpose is good when two characters that already know each other are interacting and you want to do some exposure in a natural way.

Pop culture references that popped in my mind:

“Cantaloupe? Yes I can! 🎶”

“A cantaloupe!! The lowliest of fruits!”

Those experiments didn’t advance a thing. That’s a myth. They had no scientific rigor. Nothing was gained from that.

Matrix is a better discord alternative

Choked up? Like a rando strangled you?

And they make a valid point. Imagine if all startups started as non profit, raised their assets with tax reduction, and then decided to go for profit when it suited them? That’s tax evasion.

The article really doesn’t point to any damning thing he said. We’re left to speculate whether he was actually saying they knowingly flaunted copyright laws.

Might be a hot take, but reporting on that just generates the wrong kind of buzz.

They may go down 3% for some products and they’ll make a big deal out of it.
