Don't even get me started on Grave of the Fireflies. Bad movie, and I don't mean sad. I was too annoyed by the end to be sad about it.

I'm reaching my limit with all computer ran everything. - NO I DON'T want to sign up for automatic payments with zero paper trail or notification about fees charged. - NO I DON'T want to live 24/7 glued to the computer chair constantly wondering if the business I am forced to go through because they have ZERO COMPETITION is secretly stealing extra money from my accounts. *cough Wells Fargo* - All I wanted to do today was pay my electric bill and they wouldn't let me pay in person like I have been doing because they wanted me to use an automated teller literally right beside the actual cashier! - LIKE WHAT THE FUCK! I have the money, why do I need to pay additional fees to pay my already overpriced bill? I mean shit I got charged an extra 5 dollars to my $117 bill for "special" taxes on top of the normal taxes I'm already paying! - I digress. The age of computers and fear of human contact is allowing corporations to freely abuse the lesser man without the fear of direct resistance. - Then tell me shit like if I have a problem with it I can just call some automated phone line for an extra $10 more! - FUCK COMPUTERS, FUCK ALL THIS HANDS OFF BULLSHIT, FUCK THE BLATANTLY OBVIOUS LYING to make it easy for monopolies to railroad its captive consumers into compliant submission.

There there my feisty lil boomer https://media.tenor.com/images/689917c3b8697e66ca81cf11d10e9943/tenor.gif

Imagine that boomers made computers and cant even figure out how they work The future is now old man

You know i used to want to go to japan but seeing as how blatantly racist they are to gaijin is kinda offputting. Like there are certain places that wont even do business with you unless ur Japanese

@hell_hound7 It's actually funny, I know somebody who pioneered parallel processing between multiple processors. He has an honorary doctorate in Atari as strange as it sounds. The story goes that a research lab was using a PDP-8 in order to monitor experiments on rats. Do not worry, this was a light association experiment where green light means they can get food and red means no food. No abuse. They were only able to monitor 8 experiments at once, which was a problem since they needed a larger sample size. So in comes this guy, and with a simple Atari 800 computer. Ends up getting 192 experiments monitored at the same time. He managed to do it by getting the processor to communicate with the video chip and at every horizontal scan he could switch to a different experiment. And 192 was the horizontal resolution so 30 times a second he could scan all 192 experiments. It was a really creative way that he exploited the multiple chips and custom hardware of the Atari 800. Even more funny was that an Atari 800 could be purchased at the time for $1,000. A PDP-8 was around $18,000.
