That’s a good point, but is it free? Can I use it without giving Apple any money, or do I need to have an Apple product to run it on?

For the first part, the corpulent thing, I’m just pointing out something that’s true. It’s unusual to use the word figuratively.
For everything after that, it’s because you’re kind of being a dick.

Rhetorical questions are supposed to make a point, and I’m asking you what that point was.
Now my question is semi-rhetorical because while you could answer, it’s pretty clear that your question was just a phrase you saw somewhere that you’re trying to use as an insult even if it doesn’t quite fit the context.

Ok, but what am I like that you are asking about?
- Comment on We Spoke To Game Devs And All Of Them Hate DLSS 5: 'What The F***, Nvidia?' 2 weeks ago:
Like what?

That’s strange to me. Only two examples come to my mind and they’re both literal. Whatever examples you’ve seen of it being used figuratively didn’t make it to the dictionary.
- Comment on We Spoke To Game Devs And All Of Them Hate DLSS 5: 'What The F***, Nvidia?' 2 weeks ago:
I’ve never seen it used figuratively, and all the examples in the dictionary are literal, but maybe it’ll catch on.

Corpulent means fat. Is the technology fat?

Second time this week I’ve had an occasion to use this gif. Shame I couldn’t find one with more pixels.

Too difficult. Better to ask someone who’s good at painting to do it for you. Then you can give them something, as a sign of respect, to compensate them for their time.
- Comment on If we cured all forms of cancer with the ease of taking a pill, what would be the next thing medicine would put the biggest focus on? 2 weeks ago:
My wife used to work on that kind of research. Interesting stuff. She left that job to research cancer instead.

Aging, maybe. Once cancer’s gone, why not?

Thank you for finally providing the context for this image. I’ve seen it all over the place but I don’t game on PC so I wasn’t going to take the time to look it up.

I agree. The game wasn’t bad or anything. There are some things that it did very well. Overall a worthwhile experience.

- Comment on An old excuse 4 weeks ago:
If we’re only looking at the bad things a country has done, committing actual genocide is worse than destabilizing governments and overthrowing dictators.
But you’re also ignoring the good things. The US has historically provided around one third of all humanitarian aid in the world. And while it may be the perfect example of democracy, it has used its power to keep much worse regimes in check.
Saying that America is “objectively THE main world villain” is just silly. Like, you think North Korea is morally superior? Seriously? Or Russia?

Yeah, but what if I become famous for writing children’s books one day? Then I’ll feel like a dummy.

It’s mostly visual for me. Like when a woman lifts her arms, it makes other things more appealing, so there’s an association there.
On the lucky occasion I’m with a woman who doesn’t shave, I just want to pet it, like if I could pet a squirrel. Like, what even is this? It’s so rare and adorable.
Anyway it’s times like this I think I should have an alt account on Lemmy.

- Comment on Xbox chief Phil Spencer is leaving Microsoft 1 month ago:
Sure, Sony “outlived” two minor competitors that were already failing when the PS1 released.
Much like how I outlived actor Carey Grant, who was 80 years old when I was born. That’s definitely how I’d phrase that.
But hey, those examples were “just to name a few”, so there must be more, right?
But seriously, the way your original comment was phrased makes it sound like Sony is some kind of console war juggernaut, outlasting its many competitors over decades. The reality is that Sega folded to Sony and Nintendo back in the early aughts, and then it was 25 stable years of having three big console makers, and that’s it.
That’s all I’m saying.
- Comment on Xbox chief Phil Spencer is leaving Microsoft 1 month ago:
3DO and Atari were never really competitors. They were minor players in the console market that were already considered unsuccessful by the time the PS1 was released.
Sega is one company. Sony has outlasted one competitor, which makes it odd to say “yet another”.
