You can just wear a mask in America and confine whoever you want

I should’ve added a /s!

We could’ve had finger tracking by now instead of thumbsticks that break frequently.

They’re saying that you’re saying the input device was what made it immersive and not the language. What a silly thing for you to say, come on.

Don’t worry, it’s steal not pickpocket. Simply move the gun out of his sight and then steal it.

Everybody who bought pizza back then paid the same opportunity cost.

Aren’t there people with dementia in the matrix?

I live in SoCal but my coworkers and I frequently have to go to our Georgia branch. The Waffle House there has become legendary; we insist that all new hires visit on their first trip. You will level up at Waffle House.

When your wife edits the “Personalization” settings as a prank

Every time I try this, half the food goes bad and I save nothing. Yes I am using a fridge.

“Finally he steeled himself to read the final rule again. He had been trained since earliest childhood, since his earliest learning of language, never to lie. It was an integral part of the learning of precise speech. Once, when he had been a Four, he had said, just prior to the midday meal at school, “I’m starving.” Immediately he had been taken aside for a brief private lesson in language precision. He was not starving, it was pointed out. He was hungry. No one in the community was starving, had ever been starving, would ever be starving. To say “starving” was to speak a lie. An unintentioned lie, of course. But the reason for precision of language was to ensure that unintentional lies were never uttered. Did he understand that? they asked him. And he had.”

“Once he had yearned for choice. Then, when he had had a choice, he had made the wrong one: the choice to leave. And now he was starving. But if he had stayed… His thoughts continued. If he had stayed, he would have starved in other ways. He would have lived a life hungry for feelings, for color, for love. And Gabriel? For Gabriel there would have been no life at all. So there had not really been a choice.”

— Lois Lowry, The Giver

You make it sound complicated and scary!

They bought a computer with Windows on it.

Speaking as someone very lucky to have one of those jobs…

What you’re suggesting is rarely possible. The overwhelming majority of people just need to pay rent. It’s not a failure of the individual doing a bad job at job searching - it’s because we’re forced into jobs we hate by people who have never been in this situation themselves. There aren’t enough enjoyable jobs to cover everyone’s cost of living.

“The fact is, that civilisation requires slaves. The Greeks were quite right there. Unless there are slaves to do the ugly, horrible, uninteresting work, culture and contemplation become almost impossible. Human slavery is wrong, insecure, and demoralising. On mechanical slavery, on the slavery of the machine, the future of the world depends.”

— Oscar Wilde, The Soul of Man under Socialism

We get mandatory lunch breaks 😁

Unpaid, so 9 hours are consumed 💀

Technically they’re not a single 360° hinge. They’re actually two 180° hinges that are very close to each other with a short link. I’ve got one right here.

Dark confession: I grew up around a lot of New Yorkers and don’t mind his personality/speech at all. If he was still on The Apprentice I’d find his blathering entertaining.

He could have been a nice interesting person. If he had wanted to be. Even Hitler could have been a painter instead.

The government says we had 2.7% inflation last year. Your expenses only went up by 2.7% last year, right? That sounds honest.
