I agree with him only because I've seen what lives in and beneath carpet. Even fastidious folks can't truly clean it well enough, and they definitely can't keep the moisture from collecting beneath it.

Look up the advertisement for it. It's hilarious enough to make you shit your pants.

As a one night experience, or is this a marriage negotiation? I've got $8,000 and an unmarried cousin lying around somewhere...

Human: "Uh... you've seen us with dogs, right?"

Salmon: "Yah."

Human: "And we rub their bellies, you know?"

Salmon: "Okay."

Human "Well you all turn pink on your bellies when you're swimming upstream to have one last gasp of orgasmic explosion over all your future kids before dying and we try to stop you and slit open that belly to rip out your organs and pop your major blood vessel before cutting you into chunks and throwing you in a fire."

Salmon: ".... Just what the Fuuuu-

Different preservation methods, doncha know? Now sit right there as I tell you aaaaaall about why anything but formaldehyde is heresy....

I think ours were about wanting hugs from pink butterflies.

Mmm, I like avatar, but zuko would actually be an example of it done poorly. He was a great starting villain, and him freeing aang was a great reveal that the show had depth, but everything with his 'backstory' was exactly the sort of cheesy that ruins immersion. It lost that feeling of depth when you started getting 'good character / bad character' contrasts. It relied on the firelord (bad character) being one dimensional evil, while zuko had a good (character) mother so he could be good, too. Until he and Iroh were alone together, and then the whole 'humanized villain' idea became quite good. You were able to see zuko experience things and adapt, as a character/person should, not just some post-hoc explanation for the present. I'm not going to rag on avatar for the cheesy bits; it was a kid's show, and even adults sometimes need to be hit over the head to grasp things. It still wasn't an excellent example of villain writing.

Take your bets on how long until one of the idiots tries to monetize it. You just know that several of them began filming before taking any action to save themselves.

Should be relatively simple to fuck with that interface though. After all, if you have access to the hardware, no system is truly safe. We'll have enough tinkerers and thinkers that will probably come from the same rich core that gives us FLOSS developers, and they'll have some real fun coming up with ways to fuck with anyone trying to read the machine.

I remember actually searching that one out to see. Strange what you'll do when you're a teenager.

Lol at the bonus panel. There are already enough jokes about making the art college take hitler so he wouldn't become political, that it wouldn't surprise me if there are people out there who actually believe it.

I think it's also just that we remember and whine about bad writing. With good writing, you don't even think about the villain's backstory because it's so well incorporated. You don't get this sudden spotlight on the villain as they moan about their past as the excuse for why they did everything. You don't get incredibly cheesy and immersion breaking scenes of the protagonist finding diaries and amazingly succinct notes that explain everything. Those are what drive us up the wall.

I think we would have a wicked cool FLOSS option out there, somewhere. It would probably run off of a modified linux kernel. Don't lose hope!
