Akshually this is from one of his Harmontown rants ~2014 but it does totally always make me think of Talkie Toaster.

You gave me cancer and I’m rude? :(
Is it an important distinction or an opinion? If it’s an important distinction then maybe explaining that distinction would help?

Wow, your pedantry gave me cancer 🤕

To quote Dan Harmon:
If you ask a toaster, “What’s the most important thing in the world?” it’s going to tell you, “Bread.” And if you ask a toaster its opinion of bread, it’s going to tell you, "It’s not toasted enough. So let’s look at the television as an appliance. What’s it doing? It’s making you watch it. “Is your neighbor racist? Is it dangerous to go outside? Fuck yeah!” says the television, “Does your racist neighbor have bread?” says the toaster. “Bring it in here!” "And if you cant finish it, put it in me’ says the refrigerator. But the fucking television is the worst of all. It’s telling you, “Whatever you do, stay in your living room and it will tell you anything to make that happen.”
So now let’s look at the internet as an appliance…

Just a quote I thought was apt from The Righteous Gemstones.

“It is time to finally stop the constant flood of filth and propaganda coming out of Hollywood. If they’re going to fill the airwaves 24/7 with that garbage, we’re going to do the same thing.”
- Comment on Google Pixel 4a’s ruinous “Battery Performance” update is a bewildering mess 7 months ago:
Man, are you okay? Is there something you’re taking or not taking that you should be?
- Comment on Google Pixel 4a’s ruinous “Battery Performance” update is a bewildering mess 7 months ago:
Bewildering mess is accurate. My daughter has a 4a. They took her perfectly good battery and toasted it, now it fully drains in about 20 minutes. The solution? They’ll pay for a repair… 150 miles from my house, or send me $50… Through Payoneer??? Or give me $100 credit to the Google store where the cheapest phone is $500. The new batteries are all on backorder so even if I replace it myself she has put up with this issue for an indeterminate amount of time.

- Comment on Microsoft: Copilot ‘app’ on Windows Server mistakenly added by Edge 1 year ago:
The web browser does communicate with their servers, clearly, since it’s installing Copilot on enterprise servers.
- Comment on Which shows do you think ended too soon, or went on too long? 1 year ago:
Yeah but the third season of shows is always the best!

Too soons I haven’t seen listed:
Better Off Ted Undeclared Dead Like Me (Yes we eventually got the movie but I like to pretend we didn’t) That 80s Show (oh god was it terrible, but it had so much potential!)
- Comment on Which shows do you think ended too soon, or went on too long? 1 year ago:
New Futurama is just as good as old Futurama. Fight me.
Arrested Developments Netflix seasons, though different from the original run in format, I found them enjoyable and worth rewatching.
Game of Throne’s last half sucked but not because it went on too long, quite the opposite. The producers tried to rush the series to a quick finish so they could go do a Star Wars. HBO offered them extra seasons, they had plenty of source material they downright ignored or went against. The series was best when it was verbatim from the books. In the hands of someone who cared it could have been twice as long and quality all the way through. Obviously I’ll die on this hill.
Couldn’t agree more on the rest of your list. Westworld would have been a tight one season limited series.
