    There’s some epic Arnold video/ quote about not needing permission to smoke “STOGIES” because he’s a boss and theyll have to tell him to put out his stogie but they won’t because its ARNOLD smoking his STOGIE and no server is gonna tryand shut that down. Thats the exact attitude we in the US need right now

    “I haven’t used Windows in over a decade, so I’m afraid I can’t help you” is one of my favorite sentences.

      Snap. The problem is you never forget. It’s PSD.

      “OK, OK, enough. I can’t watch you ham fist this anymore. The reason it says file not found is a DLL it needs isn’t found. There used to be this tool, DependencyWalker. Ah there still is. There you go, you are missing that DLL. A search will show us… Yep… That is what we need to install. Oh look it runs.”

    I helped a family member with their Windows PC a few days ago and, omg, I hate using Windows. It’s so bloated and unintuitive. It’s a mess, and it seems to get worse every time I use it.

      One of the reasons I switched was just being sick of dealing with Windows issues, the time spent troubleshooting, having to constantly tinker. And despite all the users out there, the frequency of hitting a dead end and just having to deal with it was common enough.

      So after yet another Windows-fuelled rage and four glasses of wine, “Fuck it! I’ll see what everyone’s raving about…”

      An hour later…

    Seriously though what was up with the bad guy in commando? Did he look way different during casting and then decided to have a cheeseburger and heroin diet? Is he the friend of someone who made the movie? He looks like a $5 Freddie Mercury knockoff, and the only aspect of that movie that’s ever bothered me is the fact that he was a bad guy and was supposed to be feared.

      He was cast because he was in the mad max movie a couple years before, and the director thought he could hold his own ground opposite Schwarzenegger

        Thanks for the info! So he did kind of let himself go after being in mad Max, because yeah, that character would have been a decent bad guy.

        I’m just surprised they were like,'fuck it, we already bought a chainmail shirt his size, and I’m not watching anymore casting VHS’s

          What’s wonderful is that isn’t even a chainmail shirt. It’s loose-knit sweater vest. I’m not sure if they were hoping no one would notice, or if most of us watched it on 480p VHS.

          I like to think that his grandma knitted it for him.
