Just searched, and it looks like you’re correct.
Also, apparently there’s an episode where Spacely and Cogswell are arguing about real estate and they discuss a rule of Orbit City which requires all buildings to be at least 2200 feet off the ground (I assume from their “bottom”), which would make their homes roughly the top floors of the Burj Khalifa
For a minute, I thought this was Geto Boys - Still
Die motherfuckers, die motherfuckers, still
I got a killer up inside of me
I can’t talk to my mother, so I talk to my diary
We’re trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
And the machine is bleeding to death
This kind of goes for all the Mountain Goats songs about The Alpha Couple.
Soon:
I think we call them “widgets.”
Fuck that, I’d rather have Penny’s Computer Book.

Oh wait.
Nah, I’m just outjerking the jerk.
I mean, is Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law considered canon? If so, then yep, 100% true.
Step 1. Get a desktop instead.
Step 2. ???
Step 3. Profit
God Bless Cherry 2000.
Exactly. When the person who holds your purse strings decides they don’t like something, they can influence you by simply… taking away your financial backing.
Hush now, you’re interrupting the circlejerk.
Don’t forget:
Out of control sea level rise due to climate change, which is why they all live up in the sky

I think the Soviets and the space race with the USA would prove that the “We have to build it faster, first!” isn’t just a capitalist thing.
Capitalism incentivizes it, absolutely. To be clear, I’m not making some “it’s human nature” argument, culture plays a huge role. Capitalist culture influences it greatly, but I think humans “racing” to achieve something before another does is outside the scope of just capitalism.
Somehow not considered testimony…
In some ways, you can almost see why trying to “erase” bad ideas is intoxicating, since humans seem endlessly drawn to them.
It’s like in tech circles, the joke goes that some Sci-Fi writer creates a horrible invention and includes a warning “DO NOT BUILD THE TORMENT NEXUS” and that warning, repeatedly, goes ignored. People are like “but we could make good profit from the Torment Nexus!”
AI is a good example. “If we don’t make the terrible AI, someone else will, so we have to make the Torment Nexus, errr, I mean AI.”
But trying to stop all these bad ideas is just Fahrenheit 451 with extra steps.
That’s the plan, yes. I think it goes a little farther than “hope” with these guys. They think they can manifest reality.
We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do’.

Official Microsoft controllers were absolute peak with the Xbox 360…
…but modern Microsoft Xbox controllers have absolute dogshit build quality. Just the worst, constantly breaking for no reason. I’m just done with Xbox controllers because old DualShock 4’s are cheap and quality.
