Came here to say this. Well I would’ve said Trump, but same idea.

I don’t think you understand what seeing a 4k image or video means. You can’t see a 4k image or video without a 4k screen. Maybe a 15 year old camera can capture it, but you can’t see it, even with today’s phone screens.

The only TV I’ve ever owned was like 19". The only real-size TVs I’ve ever watched are my parents’ and the one my roommate had in the living room.

And just because they’ve been available since 2019 (according to you- I honestly can’t remember when they started showing up lol) doesn’t mean they were common or cheap at the time. And both of those units (the ones I’ve spent any time with) were bought around 2016 anyway. Not sure what world you live in where everybody buys a new TV every 3 or 4 years, but it’s not a universal thing, or even the norm. Where having an SDTV might justify a midnight trip to go get a real TV, the need for 4k is less than 0.

So no, I am quite sure I’ve never seen a 4k image or video. Because I’ve never owned it has access to a 4k screen. That in and of itself is enough to verify that much, without having to worry about how modern it is, it what it was shot with, or recorded on, or how it was downloaded, or where/how it was streamed or any of that confusion.

No 4k screen means I’ve never seen anything that could only be on one.

I still don’t think that I’ve ever seen a 4k image or video. plenty of morons out there sliding the quality up to 4k and going “Look at how good it looks!” whole I know full well their screen is at 1080 and I internally cringe.

But yeah, late 2024 and I’ve still never even seen a 4k screen to my knowledge.

At least not in person and not rebroadcast to a 1080 TV. So it doesn’t count.

If my computer starts testing me as… ANYTHING then I’m out.

I totally get the comparison now. That movie was horrifying as hell though.

Lol alright. I have a standing appointment with my brother every weekend to watch a movie and will work on a TV show for a few episodes each weekend.

None of that description sounds anything like the premise that the meme movie would be. But it does sound interesting enough for me to check it out this weekend.

And you very well may. But the pandemic itself made sense temporarily for delivery. But a lot of people really got into the lazy part of it.

We all need a little splurge like that now and then. But people doing it every week, or 2-3 times a week is just absolute gobsmack crazy to me.

Even pizza I typically pick up. I used to live just 5 minutes from one and still felt so lazy getting it brought to me I’d give em $5 tip anyway to help them and punish myself for the laziness. It was usually just 1 pie with the easiest (actually 5 minutes too- unless traffic was light at the time) drive and walkway situation they could ask for. The drivers must have fought for my tickets lol. Not a humongous tip, but for 5 minutes of work with the easiest workload possible and no difficulty (unless you count a 3-step to get on the porch, which I would often meet them at or tell em to leave it on there to prevent even that)

All of those help the pronunciation of the “word”. I’ve no clue what OWCA is, but for the others they didn’t change the very first letter that’s for kinda the most important in the phrase. It’s an image file, and they make it impossible to directly and verbally connect to the meaning of GRAPHICAL.

I’m not trying to fire on a hill for a pronunciation of an acronym just for my preference of g instead of j. But the absolute most important word in that phrase is graphical, and therefore the g noise absolutely has to be included and that is that for that argument. You don’t kill off the main character for some worse than Scrappy Doo schmuck.

And in what world are gif and jif better or worse sounding than each other for this to even have a point? It’s like whoever decided on making this fake j solely intended and only cared about making the meaning of it harder to figure out and less representative of its meaning.

Since this reply is about gif I’m mostly done, but as a quick point, for the other examples-

For SCUBA, I’m pretty sure it’s just pronounced wrong because fixing that would mess up the letters if they made it work by English rules (there would need to be 2 "B"s). So the argument comes down to making it an acronym or making a new word inspired by the acronym.

NASA is actually the same thing, with a pretty similar change that would be needed. (but 2 "S"s this time)

If both of these could just add a word their problems would be fixed and everyone would be happy.

CAPTCHA I’m only vaguely aware is an acronym and I’m not looking that up right now for sanity reasons (all these hills exploding in this thread giving me PTSD). So I don’t know how I feel about that one yet. But one day I’ll get curious and look at it.

Plus they’re an easy enough edit to add to regular photos. Is not like it has to be one of the other unless there’s some secret art about actually shooting in BW that makes it somehow special-er.

If you do it regularly and aren’t disabled or in some other situation that makes it necessary, I just judge you really hard. Not in a specific angle like you’ve chosen necessarily, but just as a person in general.

For just laziness reasons, it can’t be defended and that’s all these people have without the disabled reasoning. Way richer in money than brain cells clearly. What other reason could there be for regular use of it? Even just often enough to subscribe to whatever their plans are is a crazy amount of delivery orders.

I wanna see this movie.

All the flavors together maybe. But not if you think of any specific one.

I’m not sure what the point is here. C is symmetrical and has absolutely no downsides, so yes, it’s objectively better.

Clearly a bot.

Move along humans, no brain to engage with here. Let them sit in their ignorance while the real people get on with things.

Same. Well almost. I haven’t been switched for a year yet. I think I started to with this build (new machine has never seen Windows) back in October and got a snag that I didn’t have time to deal with for a while.

I finally finished it up sometime after the new year started, but can’t remember when exactly. Either January or February.

I always forget wireless keyboards exist.

I’ve never heard of a frozen keyboard. That is definitely not an issue to worry about every single time anyway.

Plus when it works you need a second press to turn it back off before entering the password. Way too much work.

I usually use the up key as that is one of the few buttons I know of that will open the password field (I’m assuming down also works, but I haven’t tried many others). I usually turn my monitor off (can’t just leave it on as it’s in my room and if a cat moves their ear too quickly that will wake up the screen and I can’t have that while I’m comfortable in bed) at night, so the first time I use it in a day I will turn it on, smack the up arrow and the login screen is gone before the screen turns on all the way. Which is a little sad I don’t get to see it much since I did pick out a theme and background for it, but can’t be helped.
