    I’ve gotta start thinking green… I don’t have a GREEN one of those!

    This is why the right to repair is so important… So we can add thing to stuff, so we don’t have to buy new stuff.

      We might still buy new stuff, because adding things to existing can be expensive (in terms time and effort). I just spent hours (and I’m not done) looking for PC parts to utilize my old CPU in a home server. If I didn’t have very specific hardware requirements I’d just chuck it in the bin and buy a pre-built mini PC. And for most people I’d imagine that’s the case. People don’t want to tinker, they just want things to work. Right to repair is very much right to tinker. It suits people like me, but it’s not going to matter to people like my wife, who would much rather buy a new laptop than make the current one not work at a snails pace.

      Don’t get me wrong, right to repair is important and I 100% support it, but my point is that it’s only important to us. The average Joe will never care and will much rather buy a new thing than make the existing one like the new one.

      amiga fault never made sense to me… it was low-effort body horror and I’m not sure why 4chan venerated it. like why are people drawn to the holes? who cares who it was made for lol. and who made them? it’s stretched too thin to expect readers to feel involved in the horror AND continue with unanswered questions about the premise

        Ito often works like Lovecraft, being drawn to something irrational you cannot understand is the whole point. It’s also heavily utilized in Uzumaki. The body horror is just the cherry on top.

        The sensation is quite common for a lot of people, think of “l’appel du vide” (call of the void) or intrusive thoughts in general.

    Every time I see something like this it reminds me of the short film More by Mark Osborne.

    OTOH I couldn’t get myself to buy anything that’s not at the lowest price ever after I have found out about price history tracking sites
