I think the punchline goes multiple ways at once: “the protesters were stupid thinking this would help”, “the protesters were stupid in how they tried to protest”, and “everyone back then was stupid because it’s Waterworld now.”

That depends.

39 and under crowd - “Wanna go again?”

40 and over crowd - “I’m going to need at least that many breaks.”

Yes

I’m dead. How is anyone this bad at delivering crucial information?

Oh, everything’s fine now, …

I wish. Nope, nothing like my family.

… but two weeks ago she was murdered.

Nevermind, this checks out.

It also doesn’t hurt that Anjelica is always illuminated like she’s from another movie altogether (credit to CinemaTherapy). The director turned the glamor factor up to 11 in every scene without breaking anything. It’s impossible to follow that.

Raul, somehow, manages to be a complete ham yet relatable, lovable, and most importantly, believable.

Better than bacon. And I know those are fighting words in some places. Just embrace the schmaltz and let it drip into the rice.

The key is to get to that skin while it’s still hot, but before it winds up in the fridge. You can reconstitute it in a skillet, like bacon, but it’s just not the same.

Thanks for the encouragement!

Just for you, what is easily the best cover of this theme.

I was gonna say. Jenkins needs zero help. Just let him do his (final) thing.

I have a question. Would age be at all a factor in the vibe? How about acute arthritis and being a newbie? I wouldn’t expect to just “fit in” immediately, but I’m left wondering if a slower middle-aged dude would have a hard time hanging with that crowd.

Hah! What gets used for real there would have Jeep owners drooling with envy.

Wow, it’s sure smells bad out here. Is anyone >yawn< else getting sleepy?

I visited Iceland, not too long ago. The tour guides, politely, made a point of illustrating how much of a rude menace tourists can be with their rental cars. We got a pass, of course, as we were on a tour bus every time this happened. The message was clear: use the world-class public transit and charter busses/tours where possible.

My perspective as a tourist: the cops really are needed in situations like this.

I’d go looking for another mindflayer offering “spotless mind” services and pay to have those memories removed. Assuming they can be trusted, of course. The hard part being that they’re still mindflayers.

The two licenses have distinct use cases, and only overlap for some definitions of “free” software. I also think both the comic artist and OP set up a fallacious argument. I’ll add that in no way do I support Intel’s shenanigans here.

The comic author takes one specific case of an MIT licensed product being used in a commercial product, and pits it against another GPL product. This ignores situations where MIT is the right answer, where GPL is the wrong one, situations where legal action on GPL violations has failed, and all cases where the author’s intent is considered (Tanenbaum doesn’t mind). From that I conclude that this falls under The Cherry Picking Fallacy. While humorous, it’s a really bad argument.

But don’t take it from me, learn from the master of logic himself.

commonly referred to as “cuck licenses”

This sentiment makes the enclosing sentence an Ad-hominem fallacy, by attacking the would-be MIT license party as having poor morals and/or low social standing. Permissive licenses absolutely do allow others to modify code without limit, but that is suggested to be a bad thing on moral grounds alone. That said, I’d love to see a citation here because that’s the first I’ve heard of this pejorative used to describe software licensing.

spam del or f2 keys

Also, sometimes it’s ins, F1, or F10.

If you find yourself doing this a lot, and are okay with attending every reboot, some BIOS’ can be configured to just always boot to the BIOS menu. Also, there’s sometimes a configurable time-frame for when it listens for keystrokes.

Disclaimer: I have 30 years of doing battle with PC’s that I’m sifting through here, so some of that’s bound to be old advice.

While not the same, I bet lobster tacos are pretty tasty.

I think what burns people the most is that after Photoshop 5 or so, GIMP stopped keeping up with all the improvements in the later Photoshop versions. People making the jump from 2024 Photoshop to 1996 Photoshop UI/UX are gonna have a bad time.

Edit: as a software developer I can say that I’ve never seen a user more frustrated, sometimes even irrationally so, when they are forced to re-learn muscle memory to perform a familiar task. I’ve also seen people practically riot at the mere suggestion that this will happen. If you wish to curry favor with your userbase, never ever, remove keyboard accelerators, move toolbars around, break workflow, etc.

The worst ones are safety rules: those are (sometimes) written in blood, with stories to match.

Some of these kinds of things […] are actually intended for people who are partially or wholly physically disabled.

After I learned this, I immediately felt bad for poking fun at these kinds of products. Normalizing their use by the non-disabled, and depicting the products likewise on TV, makes it that much more acceptable to the intended audience. If this wasn’t the case, it might sting a bit as a gift for someone that really needs it. And then there’s the economy of scale effect you mention; nobody would get a Snuggy if they cost $100 each.
