I’m Tired Of These Useless Jackasses Making The Computer Expensive RAM, flash memory, and HDDs are unaffordable because of a bunch of greedy idiots that do not love the computer.

The tech oligarchs pushing AI do not care if you can afford a computer, because they do not truly love the computer. aftermath.site/ram-prices-hdd...

@billamend.bsky.social Not really relevant to anything but FoxTrot was by far my favorite comic growing up. I'd always get the books and have to ration reading them out because I knew there wasn't an unlimited supply.

Anyway it's cool that you're here

I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018.
How did I do it?

Blacked out lines

CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP.
There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.

I Can Say Goodbye To Star Trek Because Star Trek Raised Me Star Trek instilled in me many of the same values that are taught in houses of worship across the world, but in my faith, there is no God to judge or punish meβ€”I learned how to rely on my own moral compass and inner strength. Last year, Skydance Media bought my church.

Domino's Gum (1988-circa 1992): Round slabs of bubblegum, shaped like pizza pies, complete with "slices" that could be torn off and chewed individually. Came in a mini version of a Domino's pizza box, complete with a coupon on the back that could be redeemed for one free topping on a large pizza!

Bilbo looking at his phone top

on bottom is ChatGPT

After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it?

You're absolutely right β€” you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.
