    Fun story. When the titanic came out, the girl I was crushing on asked me if I wanted to go see it with her and her other friends.

    Yeah. So we’re in line to get in and I made a sarcastic comment, something about, “but we know how it ends… the ship sinks.”

    Apparently. She didn’t know that. Oops.
    In any case the gaggle of old women in the row behind us were more entertaining. It may have been like their fifth time watching it. Specifically so they could see DiCaprio’s naked ass. The rest of the time they spent heckling it MST3K- style.

      Even if it’s a re-run, it’s a dick move to give away the ending to any movie while in line to see it.

          Thank you. Excellent observation It is, in fact, the very fact that makes the comment you are responding to funny.

        Truth be told, I started watching Once Upon a Time In Hollywood having zero context of what the hell the story is meant to actually be about until half way when someone told me, and it vastly improved the movie.

        Like, the woman just looked like a useless character you know. And would keep looking so.

    I know it’s just a meme, but god damn I hate this format. Some men cry while watching the titanic, some (many) women use *nix.

    Honestly by the time I decide to retire an old machine, it’s because I’ve developed so much animosity towards it that I’m much more likely to have an attitude of “good riddance” than “farewell old friend”.

    The Irony of the Unix wars is that Unix lost.

    Linux didn’t have any of the untouchable legal issues that Unix had. Linux was built from the ground up without access to Unix source code, that was entirely why it was written.

    And now we have Linux, the most used kernel on the face of this earth. Used in almost every server. All android devices. Chrome books. The Steam deck. It’s included on every copy of Windows.

    Linux won the Unix wars. And it’s all the fault of the very creator of Unix. AT&T, in their greed, killed the creation they sought to profit from.

    Double Ironic.

      I don’t know why, but the thought of some 38 year old American farmer who doesn’t know computers going “you linux people” is very sweet sounding to me.
