I know. But he’s trying to do damage control. He’s aware of how he’s perceived, and he’s worried.

I had a shitty job for a while. A good chunk of my day was taken up with just running this one report. A coworker and I would alternate weeks.

Well I automated it. It still took me half the day to run it, but that’s because I needed breaks to play with my daughter and pet my cat.

When I quit, I sent the automation to my coworker. No sense in her wasting her time.

I feel like the fact that Bezos himself is out here arguing means that he’s losing.

Are you trying to say that Elon Musk isn’t an avowed Nazi? Prevarication is not the same thing as nuance.

I’ve bought a PC before, so I know that you’re not being honest. Whether or not that’s on purpose, I’m not sure.

He’s a literal Nazi. There are less appropriate people to hate.

Uh huh. And it takes fifteen minutes to caramelize onions.

Isearched that phrase just for fun, and it turns out a budget PC is $800?

I’m not interested in discussing all the reasons PCs aren’t a good fit for me. I just don’t like when PC snobs act like it’s the right fit for everyone. You’re obviously the “invested” one here.

First of all, pointing vaguely at the internet and saying there are websites is supremely unhelpful.

Second, why would I need a solution when I can just buy a console and not have that problem in the first place?

Buy a PC? Ok, let me just go to the PC store and say, “One PC, please.” It’s that simple, right? I don’t have to do hours of research to understand what the components are and then even more research to understand which ones are best?

Be serious.

It’s not laziness; it’s time. I’ve got three kids and a full time job. If I sit down to play a game and I’m spending that time fiddling with drivers or trying to figure out why the video isn’t displaying on my tv, then I don’t get to play a game.

I swear, PC snobs are worse than recipe writers about underestimating prep time.

Because my hobby is gaming. I don’t have time to take on the additional hobby of fiddling with a PC.

Also, PC prices have gone up too, haven’t they?

I used to only buy name brand snacks. I like the consistency, and I can afford it, so I’d spend the extra few cents. And honestly I just didn’t even pay attention to the price.

But $6 for a bag of Cheetos? I can still afford that, but I won’t because fuck them. I’m buying store brand for life now. If they put the price lower than it was before and fire someone for being so disrespectful to their customers, I’ll give them another shot, but that’s not going to happen.
