This meme made my day and gave me a good chuckle. Thank you.

Anecdotal but I have managed a fleet of over 1000 Lenovo Chromebooks for almost a decade and have found them to be solid and easily repaired when needed. We also have had no issues with a tiny fleet of Thinkpads.

The only major issue I've run into was the supply chain issues during the pandemic. Not unique to Lenovo but was interesting that it was exacerbated by Lenovo being found to use components from subsidiaries that regularly used forced labor in manufacturing.

Spent two years on and off on Simon's Quest before figuring out some of the hidden stuff that allowed me to get to the end and then beat the game. Hundreds of wasted hours killing those stupid zombies at night and talking to useless villagers during the day. What a shit designed game.

Compensating.

I have high school aged children so all of the sabre rattling is unsettling to me. I would love my kids to maybe explore degree programs outside of the US because I don't see things getting better anytime soon. I don't want them sucked into some bullshit conflict started by that guy.

I will never fly on something like this. If that eventually means I never fly again, so be it.

I don't live in Iowa but have a small farm and live surrounded by farmers and ranchers. You have to understand that these people have the tiniest of perspective to the world. They spend almost their entire lives on one property, rarely go anywhere due to the nature of farming, and constantly have right-wing radio on in the truck and the barn and fox news on at home. You combine that with limited education across multiple generations and you have a group of people perfectly suited to consistently buy into propaganda and almost never able to identify things that will eat their face in the end.

Isn't Iowa one of those shithole countries? /s

Aww. I was hoping it was payday and a wonderful day... Until he realizes he's paying the bear patrol tax.

"Let the bears pay the bear tax! I pay the Homer tax!"

"That's the homeowners tax "

Hmm. I would propose that this line of thinking should then apply to Luigi as well. Anyone agree?
