In a (rare for me) defense of Boomers, goddamn, the one dude I knew who learned COBOL on his GI Bill out of Vietnam…

that man was a fucking wizard.

He actually cackled to me when he told me how C Suite knew he was retiring in 6 months, they were not planning on hiring a replacement for him… he was planning on being hired back as a contractor within 2 years, seeing as he personally built the company’s entire transaction accounting payroll and billing systems in the mid 70s, and no one else had any idea how any of it worked.

… For an international logistics company, with over 100 offices all over the world.

But yes, the rest of the Boomers csn go back to Minions memes and being catfished by AI Brad Pitt or whatever it is they do these days on the 'puter.

… its too late, we already put the gnome in the rocket.

My guess would be that this scene takes place before he achieved Super Saiyan and thus became essentially a demigod.

Because… iirc… he is shown to… essentially not actually really need to breathe, or at least be able to survive in the vacuum of space for a superhuman amount of time, at the end of the Freiza saga / start of the Android saga.

EDIT:

Sorry, but if you haven’t seen DBZ, uh, spoilers technically I guess on this like 25 yo anime, but that’s when he first becomes Super Saiyan.

I… can’t actually remember the pictured scene happening… in DBZ?

Maybe it was in an episode that somehow didn’t make it over to Toonami, or I think more likely, its from Dragon Ball, basically the prequel… which I have yet to actually see all of, lol.

At this point I agree, but solely because I’m from Boeing country, and holy mother of fuck do I hate Boeing and the absolute horseshit they’ve been doing for the last 20 years.

Fuck McDonnnell Douglas, goddamn finance bros wore Boeing like a skin suit and destroyed the company.

We are #1 at razor thin margins that implode instantly when literally anything somewhat serious goes wrong.

Usually also via leveraged debt keeping all the financial gears turning.

… sigh … not again.

The dogs will.

… because they are better than us.

This is objectively a more virtuous way to live a life, than to try to get all people to like you.

… This made me think of basically either a cock, balls, or cock and balls, wearing a skirt.

I genuienly do not understand what you mean.

… that would substantially change the meaning, away from what the OP themself indicated they meant to convey.

That also would not be a usage of the Oxford comma, as that comma would be doing a different grammatical job than deliniating items in a list.

It would be deliniating a vocative phrase.

Yes, it does… make it into a workable sentence … but it would not be an Oxford comma.

… but when MSFT employees hold their own protest, in their place of work, against MSFT software being used to murder Palestinians, some months before this, they get arrested.

They got arrested of course because precious, precious property was mildly inconvenienced, and the cops made up lies about them.

Well you shouldn’t have the PS1 mounted on top of the Xbox, not good for proper airflow and heat dissipation.

Also, the cd tray for the Xbox is gonna hit the P1 controller cord from thr PS1, also not ideal.

And the overall placement of the set up will probably impede the walking routes of any one other than you that uses the living room.

2/5

EDIT:

Ostensibly, a living room is meant to be a group space, as well as transited through, and well this set up…

… it really cuts down on any potential spontaneous horseplay.

Yeah, but summarizing my reasoning as to why I think it is a smear campaign down to ‘by default’… is to completely ignore all of my reasoning, which is frankly rude, and you strawmanning me.

… and then you point out that a comparable recent story/event… actually did have a substantial, already existing controvery… and was generally covered with more ‘positive sentiment’ words in the headlines, but yes did acknowledge the controversy.

… As opposed to essentially inventing it, as they’ve done with the Deck.

Yes, drama sells, if it bleeds it leads, but for some reason, the degree to which headline sentiment matches vs doesn’t match the actual story and pre-existing actual buzz around it, well that varies.

Hahah, perfect, hahahah!

This guy, this guy here… yeah he gets it lol

Do tell tell your fiance not to ‘get so uptight about it’, if you’re into masochism, hahahah!

… wait.

So now… Jack is… a dog?

Not the very mentally stable narrator?

… Is your dog literally named Jack, and I’m just jumping to the Fight Club joke?

confused whimpering noises

… or a baker.

… Maybe you just got attracted by the bait.

The Oxford comma is when you have a list of things that have basically one more comma than usual, following the penultimate member of the list.

Oxford: Red, green, and blue.

Standard: Red, green and blue.

… The thing that is missing from the OP sentence that dramatically alters its meaning is the word ‘with’, not a comma.

Maybe she should try having her friends over for ‘dinner’.

Could imply fava beans, cianti, bdsm gear, kinbaku ropes, who knows.
