The people saying it aren’t usually in the half they think they are, either.

“think of how stupid the average person is, and then think half of them are dumber than that”
So heavily overused.
I understand much of the technology we use today isn’t magic, but it may as well be with how much I understand about how it works.
I don’t think you quite grasp what Arthur C Clarke was going for with this one.
If I were wrong, you’d be able to convince me that I’m wrong. We can keep going until one of us accepts that we didn’t have an accurate understanding of reality.
I had an ex like you.
No, but having a handful of people who will never see their ads devalues the whole package.
How? How do they profit off someone who refuses to view ads?
Who would pay for data on a person you can’t advertise to?
I don’t think they’ll care or miss you, to be honest. It’s not like they’re making money off you.

Unfortunately, they have no shortage of young men to send to their deaths.
You’re not as important as you think you are.
The what now? What the hell takes an hour to update on a car?
So I could move to bumfuck nowhere and get paid to chill out in my car, while my coworkers pick up my slack?
No, that’s Alice’s problem.
It sounds like an incentive not to hire people who live too far away from the office to me.
Because the simplest option for the company is not to hire Bob.
Bob chose to live and work where he does, he can live with the consequences of his choices.
I don’t feel sorry for bob.
Who would hire Bob, in that case?
So either move house or move job then.
I think the actual story here is more interesting than the joke, to be honest. Where did this happen?
