Yup, but if you dare to actually WEAR and USE the shoes? My god man you may as well just piss all over them because the value is shot.

freeedr posted:How are people still using desktop computers for anything I like my computer to be in one place so being on the computer is an actual fixed physical space. Also I like being easily able to pop open the tower to replace or upgrade any part I want. I'm a massive nerd (and sign my posts)

Polyurethane foam breaks down in contact with moisture in the air, wearing the sneakers won't help (that might help with other plastics and rubber formulations that suffer from "drying out" due to loss of plasticizers, I guess?), best you can do is make sure the storage is dry.

Takes No Damage posted:Isn't part of the reason they do that because they're never worn, and if they were and the rubber/plastic was flexed around a little they would actually last longer? Lots of these materials are basically new so we just didn't understand how they would age until it started to happen.

freeedr posted:How are people still using desktop computers for anything Laptop keyboards are poo poo, laptop screens are small. Smartphones and tablets would have no purpose since I'd leave them at home like I do my Nokia brick phone: I don't want the internet or computing to follow me around, I want to leave it behind when I'm not at home.

desktops are generally better for gaming. only reason i use a laptop is because i move too much and don't have space for a desktop setup

Ror posted:you people without desktop computers are gonna get your goon cards revoked I have one at home but I don’t really use it for anything except the rare occasion when I need to sign up for something or pay something online and then off it goes again. I was being facetious about desktops but actually at home I don’t use computers at all except answering my smartphone I guess

Typing more than a few sentences with a phone is garbage and so my shitposting is quite limited if I only used a phone. Edit: Also this way the only console I have is a switch.

Ashcans posted:While that particular teenager was/is a fine aspiring conman, this is objectively a better outcome than deciding that minors - who are legally restricted in any number of other ways - are still somehow competent to make contracts for thousands of dollars. That would definitely end up worse for a bunch of kids getting conned. 17 year olds being able to enter into predatory contracts is the basis of our (America's) glorious student loan program and you can already see the fantastic results that has produced.

I have a gaming laptop which allows me to chill on my couch while shitposting and gaming. Also I can hang out with the kids in the same room while they do their own thing and I do my own thing without being completely closed off to them or with my back to them like I would be if were sitting behind a desk. It's super unhealthy for my lifestyle and posture but whatever.

SubponticatePoster posted:Why are TVs still a thing when you can just watch videos on your phone? Sometimes you use the app because you want to shitpost on the toilet or the bus, and sometimes you want to sit at a chair (or in my case on the couch) and shitpost on a large screen. Isn't Elon supposed to start replacing some volunteers' eyeballs with USB sockets this year, or something like that? Obsolete tech thread, welcome the human sensory organs

I wouldn't be surprised if he promised that neuralink would produce some kind of tangible result this year, but that he made that promise has little if any bearing on whether or not it actually happens

Old social media was designed around the idea of conversation between people on a relatively equal footing. No likes or upvotes or downvotes or anything that could interfere with the flow of dialogue, which meant you'd be exposed to ideas that make you uncomfortable Modern social media isn't designed to create conversation, it's designed to create followers and fandoms and echo chambers that can be monitized. Modern social media seeks to make a space where there are no uncomfortable conversations or any potential of them happening At least that's how I've always experienced it
