They would see nothing wrong with it

70s and 80s had the threat of Cold War.

Matrix was right that 90s was peak.

He’s pro-Russia. When he takes office, it won’t be long until Ukraine loses. It sends a signal to Russia that they can occupy any land they want.

He doesn’t believe in climate change. I’m afraid we can’t afford another 4 years of inaction. Those storms in southern US and the current flooding in Spain? Get used to it. It’s going to be even more frequent.

As a Swede this is not the news I wanted to wake up to. Let’s just pray Trump is going to spend all these four years on the golf course as much as possible.

I don’t think that makes things any better.

He has repeatedly stated during the campaign that he wants to use military action on people with opposing views (or “enemies from within” as he calls it). If that isn’t fascism, then I don’t know what is.

If people don’t laugh at your offending joke it’s not a joke. It’s just offending.

I never thought the leopards would eat my face, says person voting for leopards eating faces party.

Apparently it’s super successful. Has made $3 billion within a year.

The demo they showed is mostly a 1 hour cinematic with barely any gameplay. Fancy graphics, but if I want to watch a movie I watch a movie.

Scope creep commonly happens when there’s no clearly defined scope or vision that keeps the scope in place. Star Citizen clearly suffers from this. It’s a space sim game where seemingly anything goes.

Even when computers did improve and became able to handle Vista people weren’t willing to change their minds about it. Windows 7 had a 1GB memory requirement. Why didn’t more people use Vista right before the Windows 7 launch?

Vista shows how important the initial reputation is. Everybody had made up their mind to hate it, even if the hate wasn’t fully justified. There wasn’t much Microsoft could do about it, other than releasing Windows 7.

Windows 8 on the other hand was genuinely bad.

Windows 7 recovered from the disaster of Vista. Windows XP recovered from Me. It has been a bumpy ride for a long time.

AFAIK it has always been nagging about how much better things will be if you just connect your login to their Microsoft account.

It was the last Windows version that felt it was primarily made for desktop use.

Windows 8 tried to be a hybrid between mobile operating system, and Windows 10 and onward feels more like an advertising platform for Office 365 and Microsoft’s AI services.

Pac Man was younger when Halo was released than Master Chief is today.

‘The day you die is one of the most important days of your life’, Nitschke says

That’s a chilling way to put it.

It’s great she had the opportunity to end it on her own terms. I hope I also have the same option if I’m ever in a similar situation. Living in daily agony with no hope in sight doesn’t sound like a good life.

There’s C++/CLI if you want to combine garbage collection with the pain of C++
