I'm sorry, wtf is "shirts vs skins"?

This applies tenfold if you lived in a country where the are only pirated copies of games and all consoles come pre-modchipped (especially if your game was a multi-language copy with a built-in selector/launcher). I assume the modchips had shit timing, so when the chip was having a bad day I would sometimes have to restart my PS2 for 10-15 minutes straight until it loaded. Sometimes I gave up and came back later to repeat the cycle.

Bonus memory: PS2 is supposed to play PS1 games. So when we got a PS2, on the first day I tried one of my bootleg PS1 games and it loaded fine. After that, it never loaded another PS1 game ever, showing the "please insert PS1 or PS2 disc" error.

There's a good chance this person is doing this ironically, which makes it ok.

But please don't buy Cybertrucks ironically.

Stop blaming vaccines! It's clearly caused by insufficient prayer!

It's factory installed bloat. But a lot of legacy software relies on it, so uninstalling it is a hassle.

But that doesn't make sense even in capitalist mindset. Finding another specialist is going to take time and resources. Plus, this is apparently a very good employee, already tested. The new one will likely be not as good if this one is perfect.

I understand that this comic is a hyperbole, but seems like firing people over using their sick leave is financially detrimental.

Yeah, Nexus phones were great, but Pixel phones are also good. And Android is definitely not "getting worse".

Agree with the rest though.

Women in UAE have always been allowed to drive. It was made legal in 2018 in Saudi Arabia, which is a different country.

Trump: I'll need you to get aaa-all the way off of my back about this.

Gotta point out, that hasn't been the Microsoft logo since Win7.
