Joy to the frame interpolation chips: 6x60Hz or 3x120Hz--"Imagine this, kiddies, your very own miniature 60Hz or even 120Hz monitors that seem like 360Hz! Now you, too, can game with the big dogs!" *choke* *sputter*--available wherever fine toys are sold...;)

Do they think it involves a hippopotamus or something?

Everyone at the hospital has been super friendly and even though I’m not technically a family member HIPPA has never come into play.

Can we have social media screening for POTUS candidates too?

You make yourself a victim here all the time.

Remember when you said that the only thing keeping you from committing suicide or homicide is the ability to call 14 year olds the F word?

Class act, sir. As always.

CBD or THC: Common Drug Test Can’t Tell the Difference.

I've often wondered about this, using CBD for pain relief is very common, and operating heavy machinery or a car should be fine. I equate the effects to an Advil. But I guess Officer Joe could throw the book at anyone caught in the act....?

It's fucking hilarious. Post after post highlighting people who are talking about how difficult it is to be a straight white man.

The user comments on the Tesla death story are hilarious. "That dad and his son must be liberals" is the consistent sentiment. I'm not sure political affiliation has anything to do with trying to game our Torts system.

That article about pick up artists featuring an Arab as an example of the pick up artist community's dark side is hilarious propaganda.

I dabbed in that community about a bit more than a decade ago, it was mostly white males

Funny's not sad. It's just always entertaining to see people aging and complaining that the generation behind them is lesser, when the reality is the person complaining doesn't understand them and the younger generation is adapting better to the current world. It speeds how quickly those aging individuals become irrelevant.

While I don't disagree with you, I think you're missing the point. BTW your response reeks of 'better than them' -- like most of your posts on Blue's News (and anywhere else I assume).

Jonjonz's call out definitely is worthy of pause and contemplation and anyone with half a brain will not write it off as 'better than <insert name of demographic>'. The 'glued to their phone generation' is not a healthy generation. Obesity is up, mental health is more of a problem than ever, dependence on chemical solutions is ridiculous, and the motivation to better one's self is a joke. Google it. People often claim that the human race is doomed due to climate change, but no one stops to think about how they can improve society in better, more attainable ways by improving themselves. The concept that the meek will inherit the earth is BS. The 1% are the only ones that will survive. The next generation is f*cked.

Yes, and we were the glued to the computer generation. People building computers were basement dwellers.

Your other points have nothing to do with whether this generation is less motivated or curious than ours. Simply put, they're not playing around with computers because they don't need to. We did. They don't. They're still doing things we never did, but their motivation is different, and their curiosity is elsewhere, because what's inside a computer isn't new anymore. There are literally no new developments.
