I can see the similarity but IMO this isn't that close to Douglas Adams.

Edit: did DA make a lot of puns and wordplay? Specifically taking well-known phrases but using their literal interpretation?

too late at that point :)

Only heard about him for the first time recently, in the context of the Stop Killing Games initiative. He spoke in support of it (which is a good thing, yay), and is apparently involved in some way in the drama that gave SKG the boost it needed.

Trying to figure out who the hell he is and how he ties into it, I watched one of his videos on YouTube (reacting to someone else's video about SKG). Instantly got the impression that he's an asshole.. But at least he's on the right side when it comes to SKG.

Yup, that about matches my thought process when I made that comment. Economies of scale make the complexity irrelevant.

Honestly I barely saw anything of her, I just knew she existed. Now she's notorious for that 180 in the public's perception of her, which is why she came to mind.

She's far from the first, though. Very different circumstances, but Bill Cosby also springs to mind.

As for Taylor Swift, I know about as much about her as I did about Ellen, which is very little. I never got any icky vibes from her though, besides the inevitably hypocrisy that comes with being filthy rich and mega famous (private jet + preaching about the environment). Not enough to make her out as the bad guy.

Is that true? I'm too scared to look up prices. Electronically, touchscreens are infinitely more complex, but I can believe economies of scale brought it down lower than buttons... I just don't want to believe that.

in case you're not aware: modern browsers don't actually keep all tabs loaded all the time.

We can all* agree that we want a person we find attractive to place some of their skin in contact with some of our skin. Beyond that, don't sweat the details!

* I phrased this as inclusively as I possibly could but sorry aromantic asexuals, you might not be included.

I feel dumb that I needed this explained to me. Thanks.

[–] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 3 months ago (12 children)

I don't get it... is there anything to get?

[–] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I think I might
