We have strayed so far from God

Nice to know I can finally cancel Prime though. The entire value proposition has now gone. Free shipping is hugely conditional (and prices are artificially jacked to cover it in the first place), and now they want to put the worst thing on the internet (ads) into the only component of Prime I still sorta kinda use sometimes. I'd rather keep the $140 a year or whatever.

I'm gonna have kids just so I can make sure to raise them on the correct media diet. They're getting all the classic video game consoles, in order of generation, so when they get to something like Elden Ring they have the context all the way back to Space Invaders to appreciate it. And we're going to be a home of physical media, god damn it. We're not streaming things. We're putting CD's and vinyls and blu rays in their respective players. No iPads. Only books, comics, coloring books and notebooks.

How the fuck did parents start giving their kids iPads, anyway? Nintendo Switches? My first Gameboy cost $90 and I bought it with my own birthday money. A children's book from a young reader series cost $6 new in the 90s and is probably not much worse now. Less, if you buy it used, which is much easier now. And people are just like, "here, my 12 year old child, have an Xbox Series whatever, and an iPad, and a Galaxy phone. They're all pre-connected to your YouTube account. Don't let your other parent know that I told you that for Christmas we're getting you a gaming PC, Logitech C920, condenser microphone, wireless headset, gaming chair, scissor arm, and LED lighting array so you can chase the completely impossible dream of being a professional streamer. Can I kiss your feet while I'm at it? Will that make this a good half-birthday for you?" Unfuckingthinkable. Knock it off.

Zillow, who had aBsOLuTeLy NoTHiNg tO Do WiTh ThEsE pRiCeS now has some thoughts on it huh

lol that's fair. But also, the there's a cyclical relationship between suburbs and grocers. If you build suburbs, the grocers arrive. Where there are grocers, people might live and form suburbs. You really only have to "drive 40 minutes to get groceries" if you're waaaaaaaaaaaaay out in the sticks. Or, and I'm sorry to say it, what's more likely, is you live in a dense, urban area and are very near groceries, but can't afford a vehicle to get there directly, and so you've got to walk to the bus stop and wait for the bus to come around. This could definitely total 40 minutes to go get some eggs and milk. It's a fucking tragedy.

I'm not a pro, or especially familiar myself, but I know that because Vim is command-based, people like that they can accomplish significant edits with it using only a couple keep strokes. It's like learning another language but if you take the time, I'm told, to do so, then you reap substantial efficiency rewards which make other text editors feel limited by comparison.

Only an aspiring Trekkie over here. Can you explain this line? I don't follow.

I'm more interested in which accounts have already moved, so I can follow them.

Forgive me, sire; I hadn't $80,000 to spend on a luxury truck.

You fuck.

But if white widow earlier. But of strawberry cough also earlier but less earlier.

Until someone found a way to exploit it. And / or it became popular to pre roll advertisements before revealing the link preview.

Then I mean a later year because my girlfriend and I each own X1s from around that time which we bought on eBay. Mine, I believe, was listed as a 2018. Hers is a year newer. So those figures might need budged but I do not mean a T480.

Unless you're just recommending a T480 over an X1, in which case, I apologize for stepping all over your punchline.
