Nah, I wanna become the monster I'm trying to fight. They got their whack at it, why shouldn't I?

The radio said "No, Alex You are the neocons."

And then, Alex was a has-been.

People need to quit treating us with kid gloves. Whatever's coming, we deserve it.

I’m increasingly losing my patience with my own ostensible peers, but I have to remind myself that most people aren’t gonna alter the course of history - hell, most groups won’t, either. That just makes the little stuff we can do all the more important.

FWIW CompuPro targeted the enterprise and scientific markets. Something like this wouldn’t be something a individual home/hobbyist/small business user would be buying.

Really more of a hardware RAM disk, but CompuPro offered a board called the M-drive for their S-100 ecosystem in the early '80s. 512k of DRAM-based storage; one board cost $1,895 in 02/1983. The potential existed to use up to eight boards in one system, which would give the user a 4MB RAM disk.

I was gonna say, this is the same exact shit internet conservatives were saying about Tumblr ten years ago.

Porky, you son of a bitch

...Oh, wait, that's with a 'C'.

Two notes here:

1. McDonalds’s and others have moved towards more generic architecture as it’s easier to sell off at the end of a location’s lifespan; this is just business being business
2. In terms of McDonald’s specifically, the US branch has been running from the brand’s “kiddy” image for decades, despite that by large being the main allure, and despite their attempts repeatedly failing. (See: the McDLT et al.)

Remember Shuffle ep. 72 (The Fries and Fall of a Midwest Princess) does a pretty good analysis of this phenomenon iirc

The cutesy names they give these things are pure soy right shit. At least give me something with suitably "be afraid of this" aesthetics like a normal fascist regime, you lead-poisoned swift-breeze-away-from-a-heart-attack-ass chronic halfassers.

See, I expect politicians to be flakes and ultimately unreliable in time, but a question arises - say we adopt a maximally pessimistic view of these people to the point of never bothering with them, what do we do instead?
