By this logic, no businesses should rely on the internet, roads, electricity, running water, GPS, or phones. It is short sighted building stuff on top of brand new untested tech, but everything was untested at one point.

Where's any logic here? You're directly comparing untested technology to reliable public utilities.

I spent a long-ass time trying to work out why a bunch of randos, dressed in generic national costumes like when '80s Saturday morning cartoons tried to be diverse, would be eco-fascists who want to oppress the indigenous Irish. I actually almost thought it was a racist joke about how England isn't as white as it used to be.

No dude this definitely happened, there's no way it isn't 100% true

I dunno, this comes across as the kind of comment a racist pedophile would post, just saying.

  1. Yeah, "Where's the beef" is from 1984 (the year).
  2. In case you care, here's a translation of that guy's point: he was trying to make the case that the Mets made a good decision in letting go of the pitcher Nolan Ryan. His reasoning is that Ryan was personally very effective at striking out batters on the other team, but that Ryan's team still lost about half the games he pitched. He goes on to say that getting a lot of strikeouts doesn't matter. We now know, and many knew back in the 1980s, that a pitcher's win/loss record is basically irrelevant, because you're judging one guy's performance based on how well the other 8+ dudes on his team do. Also, strikeouts are very important. He got it totally and completely wrong, Nolan Ryan is in the top 10 of best pitchers of all time, and the Mets haven't won the world series since 1986 anyway so it's not like they substantially upgraded when they got rid of him. Basically, imagine somebody saying Natalie Portman is a mediocre actress just because the Star Wars prequels were bad.

It reminds me of how Weird Al's wonderful movie UHF didn't do great in theaters, being released in the summer of 1989. That meant it was competing against the following blockbusters:

  • Ghostbusters II
  • Back to the Future Part II
  • Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
  • Lethal Weapon 2
  • Batman
  • Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
