Nah, this is just pure economics like all the abusive shit in the video game industry, or the so-called “pink tax.”

If gamers really cared about microtransactions, season passes, gambling mechanics, things like that, they’d stop playing games from studios that do that shit and only play games that don’t or none at all. But gamers love that shit more than rock & roll sex drugs. Gamers will pay extra to experience the abuse before it’s even ready. A lot of the indie gaming sphere especially on PC is largely free of that shit, but the so-called AAA industry is only thinking of new ways to twist the teeth out of their customers. I think they’re going to start charging console customers for controller support next year. Make sure to stock up on verification cans.

Women want shampoo that smells like mango and pants that fit tighter than her own skin more than they want money in the bank or a roof that doesn’t leak. A few might bitch about it on Twitter and then proceed to do absolutely nothing about it. The store brand unscented bar soap that cost $6 for 9 bars is right there. The “Compare active ingredient to Head & Shoulders” shampoo for $2.49 a quart is 4 feet away. She’d rather eat her hand than wash with those.

There is no business model for women’s pants with pockets, because pockets just don’t work well in skin-tight clothing especially on a curvy figure. Even if you made the pockets have plenty of room the outer cloth wouldn’t permit any room, and if you do cram anything in there it’ll print hideously. As much as you hear about “We want pants with pockets!” there hasn’t been and won’t be a cottage industry for this because pants that are loose and straight enough for functional pockets are already mass manufactured and sold in the men’s section. Women can and occasionally do buy men’s pants to have working pockets. By far most of them buy women’s skin tight jeans, I presume to prevent blacking out during high G maneuvers. There’s also enough women in the world who will willingly pay $1500 for a purse to keep Gucci Vuitton in business.

Then somehow flat earthers arrived at designing actual good experiments which demonstrated the earth is indeed round and then rejecting the data they themselves collected.

This is definitely true of supermarket tomatoes, which are bred for durability and not taste. I can neglect my tomato garden and still turn out tastier fruit than the grocery store.

Elaborate.

The number of updates I’ve seen on my phone has decreased because it’s old enough to be done with feature updates. I got out of Windows before it got that bad.

Something I don’t miss from Windows was each app was responsible for its own updates, so you’d sit down to draw something in CAD or whatever and it would say “need to update to continue” so you’d have to sit there listening to the fans whine for a few minutes before you could start. This still happens occasionally on Linux because some software is just the Windows version running in some compatibility layer or something, but it happens a lot less because the package manager handles all that at once.

I think talking about fashion when you should be talking about engineering is unprofessional. And probably done by someone who doesn’t deserve to feed their family. “Why don’t we have anything to eat daddy? I’m hungry!” “Because daddy likes clothes more than food, so he’s not allowed to have a job ever again.”

The moon landings have been faked hundreds if not thousands of times and only done for real 6 times. X-Files Theme

Why does this remind me of The Phantom Tollbooth?

Explain how Cocktail and The Firm are pro-cult.

I know a lot of people who went to see Avatar, I don’t know a soul who went to see the second one.

And how many people in the world will use that? eight?

If all I’m doing is looking at your catalog, it should work in a mobile browser. That way if I - a Tarheel - find myself in the midwest, I can go “does Menards have 1/4-20 hanger bolts?”

I’ll install an app if it runs mainly on my phone, like a media player or a calculator or maybe even a file viewer. Mobile games…that ship has sunk, frankly.

Require Microsoft to distribute competing browsers in the Microsoft store.

I can install Firefox, Chromium etc. from my distro’s package manager. I don’t open a web browser to install software. You still do that on Windows because Microsoft has a financial incentive to keep competitors out of their store, so their store sucks.

Yeah my phone is in this stage, so I mostly charge it wirelessly now.

Toilets are effective at pushing shit, piss and vomit into the sewer while preventing sewer gases from entering your home, and they also double as chairs when not in excremental use. You can also use a toilet to repair the mental defects of a billionaire if you drop it from high enough, I don’t think toilet paper functions in that way.

I like my coffee FrEsH.

Well I can definitely say the word “former” is the only worthwhile word in this entire post.

“I hate and avoided the word ‘constipation.’ We have occasional irregularity.” No, you’re just full of shit.

Dox the superintendent.

Zero tolerance is how you market abdication of responsibility to dipshit parents. “We have a zero tolerance policy” means “We do not value your children, especially the boys. We’re itching for a reason to throw them in the trash.”

That’s a tough one because I’m currently surrounded by computers and tools. I’m within reach of my smart phone, one of my laptops, I’m typing this on my desktop PC, I’m within reach of three multitools, a power drill, and my away mission tool bag. So I think I’ll give a cop out answer and go with “The several thousand liters of air filling the room.”
