Siljmonster posted:I want to be Ballmer's son instead of my dad, my dad would get mad at me for reading at night loving ballmer would go ballistic if I had a fuckin Mac in my room at night. I imagine everyone in ballmer's life hates his loving guts - he's got that combination where he's clearly competing to be the biggest rear end in a top hat who's ever lived, but he's also about as interesting as used wallpaper and roughly as intelligent I'd rather spend a winter in a remote secluded cabin with Larry Ellison than spend one day at Disneyland with Steve Ballmer

Lysidas posted:most product placement doesn't bother me even though i have some friends who can't stand it American TV has had no real brands on it for so many years that every time you see a real one you know it's a paid placement. but like you said, it's fine as long as the context makes sense. so a computer with an apple or dell logo showing doesn't bother me, but one where the logo is covered up does because no one does that. the windows logo is even worse. and situations where everyone uses the same brand or explicitly says the long brand name are really awkward.
