For some reason Apple is still considered the liberal/counter-cultural choice but if you think about every dystopian novel/movie and then I said “there’s going to be a company, the world’s largest company (or thereabouts), they’re going to sell one product (basically - the difference between an…

“Restaurant food was decent but I had to provide my own bread and wine. The next day I was nailed to a plank of wood and died. Would not recommend.”

Every IBM model M purist is now sitting in a cloud of Cheetos dust from sitting up so fast to noisily clack-clack-clack a rebuttal about how superior they are.

"Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires."

Truth. As with all things, Mass is wrong on this. Unfortunately, it is also annoyingly good at promoting its groupthink.

This reminds me that the importance of having a good team of QA people is extremely underrated.

It's worth clarifying/reinforcing that this only applies to Lenovo's consumer lines. This does not appear to affect the IdeaPad or the Think product lines.

Luxo L1. Gorgeous, and functional. Iconic even (as evidenced by the knockoffs that will inevitably be posted below). You can still buy them new, if you're a Pleb:

wow. That thing about reruns is so spot on! I must have watched the entire run of 30 Rock on Netflix like 10 times. When I am tired after a long day, I find watching stuff I have already seen really soothes me. I don't really have to pay attention and when I come back to it, I know what is happening. Yippee! I am not…

Honestly, I really don't think Jezebel would have a problem with this. It is a girl who sees something she likes, something she identifies with strongly aesthetically, and decides she would be very OK wearing it. To her it is a pretty outfit, not some demeaning symbol of objectification and servitude.

Indeed. Much like people now cling to the idea that we live in an egalitarian, democratic, post-racial democracy.

It's a conflict of interest thing. If I'm part of a group whose entire objective is to subjugate an ethnic or racial group, then that conflicts with my job of protecting the local population as well as upholding the law.

It's just not compatible.

You better have skinny legs and a skinny waist to go with that big ass though, or else GTFO, right?

Honest question — why does anyone read or subscribe to Vogue, other than while waiting for a medical professional? It's this five-pound brick of once-happy trees that stinks up your house and is full of insipid corporate cheerleading and images that make you feel bad about yourself.

Heyyyyyyyyy. That news goon is trying to fat shame Patrick, dammit. "Fat Pat," indeed. Booooooooooo.

If he was a real slave to the rhythm, he'd be a "Slave to the Rhythm."

I was introduced to the Church of the Subgenius around 1988 by a Wiccan friend. She said, "Yeah, I know you're an atheist, a skeptic and all that but, this stuff is funny as hell!"

Apparently Denmark, Switzerland, and Norway are my top 3.
