By this logic, no businesses should rely on the internet, roads, electricity, running water, GPS, or phones. It is short sighted building stuff on top of brand new untested tech, but everything was untested at one point.

Where’s any logic here? You’re directly comparing untested technology to reliable public utilities.

How do they do it on your planet?

Can you please shilling for your chrome skin, it’s weird

I spent a long-ass time trying to work out why a bunch of randos, dressed in generic national costumes like when '80s Saturday morning cartoons tried to be diverse, would be eco-fascists who want to oppress the indigenous Irish. I actually almost thought it was a racist joke about how England isn’t as white as it used to be.

Why does it have to be just like your sister?

Yeah, only total cunts do that

Please go back to reddit if you want to pontificate

Don’t display your own ignorance

No dude this definitely happened, there’s no way it isn’t 100% true

I dunno, this comes across as the kind of comment a racist pedophile would post, just saying.

1. Yeah, “Where’s the beef” is from 1984 (the year).
2. In case you care, here’s a translation of that guy’s point: he was trying to make the case that the Mets made a good decision in letting go of the pitcher Nolan Ryan. His reasoning is that Ryan was personally very effective at striking out batters on the other team, but that Ryan’s team still lost about half the games he pitched. He goes on to say that getting a lot of strikeouts doesn’t matter. We now know, and many knew back in the 1980s, that a pitcher’s win/loss record is basically irrelevant, because you’re judging one guy’s performance based on how well the other 8+ dudes on his team do. Also, strikeouts are very important. He got it totally and completely wrong, Nolan Ryan is in the top 10 of best pitchers of all time, and the Mets haven’t won the world series since 1986 anyway so it’s not like they substantially upgraded when they got rid of him. Basically, imagine somebody saying Natalie Portman is a mediocre actress just because the Star Wars prequels were bad.

Bro he literally almost scrolled past this 🫢

Pasted from an earlier comment:

through the magic of Google Groups we can even laugh at sports fans’ forgotten shit takes they posted to Usenet 40(!) years ago:

Sorry I want a well-managed UNIX system with a nice GUI

Does OSX still have that bug where if you merge two folders of the same name it deletes everything in one of them?

Lando Calrissian and the Mindsharp of Sharu is basically Shakespeare

That point went about a mile above your head

Hard disagree, this was the only thing that ever induced more cringe than rage comics to me
