Just an absolute bonkers statement

This is like some sort of black mirror ad

9/10 doctors recommend you watch at least 3 advertisements a day.
- Is that tenth doctor accepting new patients?
  
  Yes but good luck finding his number. He doesn't advertise anywhere.

Microsoft bad and all, but is this really a good fit for the pics community?
- I mean... it is a picture... of a screen. I guess it counts?
  
  Isn't a screenshot also a picture? It can literally be the same file extension too.
  Why didn't OP just take a screenshot? Why go through the effort of taking a photo with their phone to then transfer it to a PC?
- I like the trees in the background.
- My favorite part of random picture communities is that I get to experience little slices of particularly notable life experiences different people have. This still fulfills that for me.

Sentences from the utterly deranged

Your worthless existence will be justified if you use Microsoft products. You will feel valid. You will feel loved. You will matter.
- This is the psychology behind all tribalism.
  If you choose a team, and your team wins, you're a winner!

🎵 When a grid's misaligned with another behind that's a moiré 🎵
What is Microsoft Search anyway? Is it the web results in the start menu that I always turn off or have they renamed Bing?

- I'm saving that tune for future use
  
  I figured that was such a well-known xkcd that no citation was necessary. There really is an xkcd for everything.
  Edited original comment with link to source.
- ♫ When the spacing is tight / And the difference is slight / That's a moiré ♫

Reminds me of this little snippet of dystopia from a copilot ad about a year ago:
- What exactly does Copilot even do that would enable you to be in more than one meeting at a time?
  
  Probably just transcribes everything and maybe summarizes it, I would imagine.
  Their target demographic seems to be the level of office worker that is forced to be present at these things but doesn't get a speaking role, except for barking out like one sentence at the right time to prove they are listening.
  Apple was targeting the same people.
  It's like they're self aware that corporate culture is completely nonsense and they're leaning into it hard whilst perpetuating it. Playing both sides as they always do!

What the fuck do you care about my fucking well-being, Microsoft, you pieces of garbage-water sucking shit!
- You can't sell ads to dead people. As much as I imagine they'd like that.

Job done:
- Love factorio
- Mo work?

Meaningless marketing gibberish, utilizing buzzwords + product name in an unholy algebra desperate for your attention and unconcerned whether or not it succeeds.
After all, how many RC Cola ads do you need to see before you'll buy RC Cola? How many times does Microsoft need to poke and prod at you before you'll refer to internet searches as "Bings"?
And how much longer will we accept this paradigm before we start pushing back, utilizing our own, actually genuine messaging until Microsoft finally finally hears: You are a disreputable company, and you're making the world a worse place.
...I tell them constantly, but they don't listen.

Quintessence cyberpunk dystopia moment.

You can do anything at bingo.cum

Eh, give google another few years of enshittification and this statement will no longer be bonkers.
- imo, it already is. I'm not using bing or google atm.

Blink, blink...
