In a (rare for me) defense of Boomers, goddamn, the one dude I knew who learned COBOL on his GI Bill out of Vietnam…

that man was a fucking wizard.

He actually cackled to me when he told me how C Suite knew he was retiring in 6 months, they were not planning on hiring a replacement for him… he was planning on being hired back as a contractor within 2 years, seeing as he personally built the company’s entire transaction accounting payroll and billing systems in the mid 70s, and no one else had any idea how any of it worked.

… For an international logistics company, with over 100 offices all over the world.

But yes, the rest of the Boomers csn go back to Minions memes and being catfished by AI Brad Pitt or whatever it is they do these days on the 'puter.

I mean, the joke is so painfully obvious:

Epic Fail.

… its too late, we already put the gnome in the rocket.

My guess would be that this scene takes place before he achieved Super Saiyan and thus became essentially a demigod.

Because… iirc… he is shown to… essentially not actually really need to breathe, or at least be able to survive in the vacuum of space for a superhuman amount of time, at the end of the Freiza saga / start of the Android saga.

EDIT:

Sorry, but if you haven’t seen DBZ, uh, spoilers technically I guess on this like 25 yo anime, but that’s when he first becomes Super Saiyan.

I… can’t actually remember the pictured scene happening… in DBZ?

Maybe it was in an episode that somehow didn’t make it over to Toonami, or I think more likely, its from Dragon Ball, basically the prequel… which I have yet to actually see all of, lol.

A corpo cares about their own clout more than they care about the company.

Utlitamely, corpos don’t care about profit margins, they care about feeling important, special, and powerful.

Being wrong is less offensive to them than thebidea that they could be wrong, that they aren’t already perfect.

Well I mean, that would require actual effort, and even worse… thinking, introspection.

But… both of those engines are terrible.

Pff, whatever.

I mean, beyond Mr. Rogers, yeah I absolutely can see that.

Same force over a smaller surface area = more ouch

Holy shit that is amazing.

Her ‘safety cage’ is both for the protection of herself, and others, hahaha!

… sigh … not again.

The dogs will.

… because they are better than us.

This is objectively a more virtuous way to live a life, than to try to get all people to like you.

… This made me think of basically either a cock, balls, or cock and balls, wearing a skirt.

I will keep saying this:

Socioeconomically disadvantaged young dudes are angry.

Instead of broadly shaming them for that, relate to that anger, temper it, show them how to use it in a controlled manner, and point it toward something useful, constructive.

Give them a rules-based, defined, productive outlet for it.

If you just tell them to bottle it up… they will eventually explode, and cause collateral damage.

How sad is it that a goofily angry man on the TV is a better parent than anon’s parents?

Well, it doesn’t matter how sad it is, because most parents these days are working too many jobs for not enough money, to even possibly be decent parents.

Thats just reality.

… You wanna beat the fascists at their game of weaponizing male insecurity and angst?

Provide a better version of channeling that insecurity and angst: Give them a framework for thinking and acting that they can channel the anger and energy into genuienly useful and productive forms.

Actually show them a positive, socially beneficial form of masculinity, that gives them their own identity, instead of a cultic group identity.

I genuienly do not understand what you mean.

… that would substantially change the meaning, away from what the OP themself indicated they meant to convey.

That also would not be a usage of the Oxford comma, as that comma would be doing a different grammatical job than deliniating items in a list.

It would be deliniating a vocative phrase.

Yes, it does… make it into a workable sentence … but it would not be an Oxford comma.

… but when MSFT employees hold their own protest, in their place of work, against MSFT software being used to murder Palestinians, some months before this, they get arrested.

They got arrested of course because precious, precious property was mildly inconvenienced, and the cops made up lies about them.

Well you shouldn’t have the PS1 mounted on top of the Xbox, not good for proper airflow and heat dissipation.

Also, the cd tray for the Xbox is gonna hit the P1 controller cord from thr PS1, also not ideal.

And the overall placement of the set up will probably impede the walking routes of any one other than you that uses the living room.

2/5

EDIT:

Ostensibly, a living room is meant to be a group space, as well as transited through, and well this set up…

… it really cuts down on any potential spontaneous horseplay.
