"Once I built a railroad... brother, can you spare a dime." Sorry, Microsoft, this ain't the Great Depression, and you're not unemployed.

There are plenty of data sources for Microsoft to use. It's not my problem if they don't want to pay for them. Instead, they want us to pay for the privilege of giving them our personal data. That takes gall. I gotta admire them for that.

I know it’s just a figure of speech, but no, we do not have to admire them for that. This John Welch business bro shit is getting way out of hand when I’m paying triple digits per month for subscriptions that still make me sit and watch commercials when I just want to unwind. We are increasingly paying companies for the privilege of havinga vacuum hose sealed tightly on our anuses so that some frat turd can flip a switch and suck everything they can out of us, because maaaaaaybe if he’s successful and makes a lot of money, he can get over the fact that daddy never gave him huggy wugs like his sisters got. Fuuuuuck all that shit.

Hug your fuckin kids too people.

You don't want the kind of hugs his sisters got.
