[10:00] Isambard_Prince How they were just lip synching to what less attractive people were singing. [10:00] Isambard_Prince Then they got caught. [10:01] Isambard_Prince The people you saw on stage looked good but they couldn't sing. [10:01] Isambard_Prince The people you heard singing could sing, but they didn't look good. [10:03] Isambard_Prince So I think there's something disingenous about having to whack off to an erotic cartoon in the first place. [10:03] Isambard_Prince Because you're imagining this person that doesn't exist, on any level. [10:03] Isambard_Prince And so thse people are demented.

[10:06] Isambard_Prince It would be no worse off, in any way, other than that there would be some unemployed people. [10:07] Isambard_Prince I mean, paying that much for coffee is basically a way of saying making coffee is something you need to outsource, and then you sit in your car for longer than it takes to run a coffee maker, with the car running.. [10:08] Isambard_Prince Burning gasoline, which costs money, and is a non-renewable resource that pollutes. [10:08] schestowitz[TR2] yeah [10:08] Isambard_Prince I dislike Starbucks.

[10:11] schestowitz[TR2] and smaller shops [10:11] Isambard_Prince It's like saying Windows is not Free but it can run some Free Software, so that makes it better than some totally locked down theoretically PC form factor OS that wouldn't even do that.

[10:12] Isambard_Prince And by that point it was getting so intolerable that it was a practical issue. [10:12] Isambard_Prince Vista was where I did not use Windows anymore. [10:12] Isambard_Prince I was just about willing to tolerate Windows XP and its quirks. [10:13] Isambard_Prince But Vista started an era of extreme bloat and extreme technical incompetence at Microsoft that has only gotten much worse. [10:13] Isambard_Prince XP was their last release that even usually worked right. [10:14] Isambard_Prince The occasional "wtf" but oh well. [10:14] Isambard_Prince When something is becoming more of a problem than an asset, you look at getting rid of it. [10:14] Isambard_Prince And sometimes that applies to people too.
