At the same time, it forced me to learn. Nowadays, every game and app you’d want is a few clicks away, and most likely it’ll just work without having to think about IRQ settings or COM ports or whether there’s enough space on your 50 MB hard disk.
Nostalgia
I would love for an interviewer to ask him to name, like, three of the Commandments.
I’m glad somebody recognized the reference, even though I got it wrong!
It’s a baby turtle!
Don’t forget the Saudis

Democracy (noun) - a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation, usually involving periodically held free elections.
Like it or not, the US is a democracy (at least for now—check back in a few years). It’s just a severely flawed one.
supreme power is vested in the people
That is, not a monarchy or hereditary system.
exercised by them directly or indirectly

periodically held free elections

Very fine people on both sides
the Idiot that green lit this lemon of a product.
That idiot’s name starts with “E” and ends with “lon Musk.”
I would like to go to dinner in Fort Collins with my boys and not have random people come up and video us, you know?
Bull. Shit. You chose to be an attention seeking loudmouth.
It’s good to see the free market actually working
Right wingers are still all loaded up on horse dewormers. I’m sure they’ll be fine.
Everyone here seems pretty negative on this news. Any particular reason?
Be like jeffw, not like return2ozma.
Because they were super popular in the 80s, and that’s where all of his cultural touch points are based.
