This is the real curse.

Me and all the homies LOVE color harvesting sci-fi tropes.

That episode of the Powerpuff Girls with the mime draining the color from the city? YES please.

Bunnicula sucking the red out of a tomato? Sick.

You are technically correct, the best kind of correct.

This. Don't forget about the evil that is HR. I was making good money with a nice career path in that field, but I had to quit because I couldn't handle how they made me treat people. All my coworkers? Absolute robots. They hid behind the "I'm just doing my job" excuse and couldn't identify right or wrong, just passed the orders down without sympathy. We had one guy that they couldn't control with strong connections so they couldn't fire him, and he really fought for his employees. They verbally tore him apart every day until he couldn't handle it anymore.

That's a good one. In school they had me memorize a novel of Latin root words, which is where things can get frustrating. You take a word and piece together the meaning, only to find out the definition has changed so drastically over the years that the root words are now nonsense. Both of our examples fit this description.

This is real and actually quite interesting to look at the history of. For example, the word "Decimate" IIRC was originally defined as killing one for every ten people of a group of people. Now, its used as a term for high impact destruction.

Very true, this is why we need people advocating for privacy law. I think those responding don't understand I'm on their side, I'm just approaching it from a constructive point of view.

You're missing the point entirely.

Yeah I understand hating the Meta glasses, but what, are we going to destroy every camera we find in the wild? This is a small piece of a larger problem and I'm just not sure assaulting a stranger on the subway is the way to go about it.

Yeah I love current RAM prices, running a memtest right now – 75k errors and counting. I'm really excited to go buy some more, can't wait.

I think I've tried this one before.
