For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

Because they get mad that the world is changing and refuse to learn anything new.

The stupid old gently caress I hired to work night shift lasted exactly 2 shifts before ringing the number given to him in a pop up window and following the instructions of "a computer guy" to get rid of a virus.

If two grown men can't make a pervert happy for a few minutes in order to watch a film about zombies, then maybe we should all just move to Iran!
Will scams stop working when we are all older, or will we just fall for new ones? Because I'm violently suspicious of essentially everyone and everything at all times due to like every 3rd phone call or email I get being a scam, so it's hard to imagine a time when I'd fall for one, but maybe that's what grandpa thought too?

EA GAMES' MASTERPIECE 'MADDEN 2018 G.O.A.T. EDITION' IS A GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OF ART AND TECHNOLOGY. IT BRINGS GAMEDAY RIGHT TO THE PLAYER AND WHOEVER SAYS OTHERWISE CAN, YOU GUESSED IT...
SUCK THE SHIT STRAIGHT OUT OF MY OWN ASSHOLE.

BUY IT.
Well, first, I think the reason they're terrible with technology is because, as they age, they become unwilling to adapt to new things, not even to spend one loving minute looking for a button that's right in front of their hideous shriveled idiot faces.

I forget my second point.

You guys are going to feel embarrassed in 50 years when some scammer steals all your one-world-government credits directly from the neural storage device in your brain under the guess of fixing the display device in your retinas.

Then your kids will put you in a cryo-home because you can't be trusted anymore.

I work in public transport and am reminded on a daily basis how loving stupid older people are.

I'm convinced that once you hit 60 you instantly become borderline retarded and lose the ability to read the numerous notices posted around the place that tell you the exact information you need that you are now annoying me to find out.

"Durrrrrrr, what's a timetable? I don't understand information laid out in the most simple format possible that is located in literally 6 different spots in the place that i am standing in. Suppose i better ask a grown-up since i've regressed to being an 8 year old somehow."

Older and wiser my bollix.
