It's free? Like you can put it on your current computer simultaneously with windows for free for free, or you have to buy a new computer to put it on but it itself is free for free? Because if it's the first one I should give it a shot. Problem is I'm already learning so many new things currently I'm already a bit overwhelmed as it is but one of these days I absolutely have to because I'm getting so sick of windows's BS.

I've always liked it. I guess it depends who is saying it because when my old boss said it, it meant more like, "this is the situation we're in, let's not waste time arguing about why it is the situation and let's just focus on dealing with it and going forward"

Technology-wise, most modern “analog” wristwatches are quartz, and therefore digital, not actually analog.

Wat.. that's not how that works. Quartz watches can be digital or analog but what matters is whether it has a digital display or analog hands.

I'm a watch nerd with a collection of mechanical watches and I'm not going to downvote you because you're right. I wear them because I like them even though I know they are anachronistic. I can't remember the last time I interacted with somebody significantly younger than me who was wearing a watch, and as I said, I'm a watch nerd, someone's watch is one of the first things I notice about them.

I will say that they are occasionally more convenient than other places I could check the time but I've built my life in such a way that I very rarely have to care about what time it is and I go weeks at a time without checking the time, just wearing them because I'm fascinated by tiny gears and springs doing their business and I like the feeling of it on my wrist.

That looks pretty ugly. I'm not really a fan of trying to make computers look more like phones but I think I'm in the minority there. Oh well, I never use the start menu anyways, I only have a few programs and they're all pinned to my taskbar.

Paying attention to what you're doing. Sounds simple but so many people don't do it. They just keep doing the same thing and act surprised when it never works. If you pay attention to what you do and the outcome of your actions, you can improve everything you do and become very efficient.

It's not, it's almond milk. Even the gray aliens won't touch the stuff.

I don't mind standing in a small cube with strangers, that's no issue at all. People that I've met once or twice but don't know, that's who I avoid.

You're conflating subjective and objective. Just because things subjectively matter to you (they also subjectively matter to most nihilists as well) doesn't mean they objectively matter. That's where the distinction lies.

If someone just comes up to someone out of the blue and says they won't have sex with you there's nothing wrong with being angry or telling them to fuck off... I'd do the same if someone came up to me and said that and I'm not trans. The situation in the comic is not about someone's preferences, it's about people who constantly bring up their preference out of the blue for no reason other than to use it as a weapon. You've never experienced that problem, neat, good for you. A lot of trans people do.
