    Stanley, it’s time to stop pressing buttons, go back to your wife.

    That was a big joke in the Jetsons though. His day was literally sitting at a desk poking a button and he was apparently bad enough at it that his boss was constantly up his ass about it.

          It’s a tracking code Google assigned to you and stuffed into your links even though it’s useless to you. What it does is tell Google who clicks on your links so they know who you’re talking to on other websites. It’s the part after ?si=

    That was a fun time, now I’m at the stage of conveying the concept of hobbies that can also be careers and learning for fun

    “Why are you in the black window! You’re not working!”

    “Sometimes the black window is work and sometimes it’s my own project I’m doing for fun or learning”

    “Why are you learning, you don’t go-to school anymore!”

    “Because it’s fun to learn new things, even when I’m not made to”

    “That sounds like work still”

    Governments don’t want a population capable of critical thinking, they want obedient workers, people just smart enough to run the machines and just dumb enough to passively accept their situation.
