I feel like I’d install a bunch of shit before getting anywhere close to a tenth of that. I’d hate my phone. However, I’m far from being a teenager and their ways and methods have become somewhat mysterious.

Seems like he was always silver haired too. I don’t remember him any other way.

Long term.

To be honest a lot of the memes on here don’t make sense. But then perhaps I’ve finally become old.

There is no meaningful difference between a threat and a warning. I’ve never understood why we see that retort so often when someone asks “is that a threat?!”. It’s the same damn thing.

Don’t forget the shirts. “I’ve acquired an array of venereal diseases and parasites by way of the restaurants I choose to patronize!”

For some reason I love this.

Right, but they’re not being rude to people who break encryption today. They themselves want to break it. So the “history” that OP refers to isn’t relevant to the article. If they had a history of being rude to whoever invented encryption then it’d make more sense.

Wouldn’t it make more sense if Britain had a history of being rude to those who invented encryption rather than those who broke encryption? Like, within the logic of the joke, Turing and Britain would be on the same side.

Seems like someone just wanted to flex their common knowledge by jamming a joke into things.

Why’d he have to go and make the use of cocaine a political issue though? I mean, if we were allowed to grow our own coca then we wouldn’t have to fund terrorists.

The entire premise of conservatism is that the way things are now (or how they recently were), and the projection of this into the future, is the best possible way for things to be. How absolutely stupid do you have to be to believe that?

“Let’s just stop here, things are as good as they’re going to get. No improvements can be made.”
