Ok, I’ll rephrase: Anybody who bought one of his cars after that only has themselves to blame for being ignorant and shouldn’t expect any absolution from me.

Elon went crazy in 2018 at the latest (the Thai cave rescue thing). Anybody who bought one of his cars after that knew what they were getting into.

About our only actual hope is a MASSIVE switch to nuclear power across the world

Even if it wasn’t the most expensive and second most stupid form of power generation there is, it’d be a 50+ year “solution” (at the very least) for a 10 year problem. Look at the actual current project times for single new reactors, and then factor in every industrial nation trying to build a massive amount of them at the same time competing for a very limited amount of people who know how to do that.

school kids …

Thankfully wiktionary only has a single IPA pronunciation for both the shoe and the brand and they’re the same. ˈnaɪkiː.

In English. It’s not even an english word though.

My point, which you seem to not understand, is that the company doesn’t define how the name is pronounced (especially if they would go “like the godess”). It was a word before they used it. And “gif” is an acronym first, regardless of what the creator of the image format might think.

and the company “Nike” is yelling “no it’s Nike! Like the god!”

So in this example, are they yelling it like their namesake is actually pronounced ( [niː́kɛː] , the i like in “flee”, the e like in “bad”), or in the english pronounciation (i like in “die”, e like in “flee”)?

The alpha male is tired, see him to his chambers.

#NotAllDemonLords

That’s not how this works. Making the laws doesn’t make you lawful. Following them even when it’s inconvenient does.

So, Demon Lords are lawful then?

I want to throw my controller against the wall just looking at this.

That’s like piling all your paperwork on your office desk in a giant tower in the order they came in and arguing that’s just as good as sorting them into files and putting them in the cabinet.

CoD 2 was the last one I played, therefor it was peak.

20$ is ridiculous. 1-2 would be reasonable.

Can’t be late if it doesn’t arrive at all.

Mass Effect … It all depends on before or after Reaper invasion.

Mine used to say “can you make the picture on my screen go away?”. The “picture” was always a pop up with very clearly written instructions or questions like “would you like to save before closing?”.

So they actually, provably, lost the ability to recognize writing.

That reminds me, a customer at a place I was working front desk for once managed to shove their money into a small gap between the cash slot and the outer case of a vending machine. I’m talking paper money and it was completely gone, so they really had to work to achieve this. Of course they got mad at me for being unable to open the case or get a technician to do it on a Sunday morning.

show me what you were doing

Nothing! I did nothing! Things just happened!

My mother once threatened to evict me (was still living with them) because I asked her to back up her important files for me to carry them over to the new office computer I had set up for her.

She flat out refused to even attempt it or answer any of my investigative questions. This woman had been using windows computers for work for over 20 years at this point, but the thought of opening an explorer window apparently terrified her so much we got into an actual shouting match over it.
