r/opieandanthony: After listening to that Pokemon Go clip, I've realized how much I hate technology analyst Jim Norton.

Jim's consistently wowed by Robert Kelly's knowledge of gadgets which comes down to "this new phone is cool" - nevermind the fact that second to his fatness the only other thing people know about Bob is how stupid he is. And yet Jim loves to confidently declare where technology will be in a few years.

I heard an old clip recently where Norton put on his pretend smart voice to declare that physical books would make a comeback once the 3d printing technology is good enough to make them. Yes Jim, we're going to use this great technology to get rid of kindles and find a way to go back to printing books which by the way is exactly what a non-3d printer is good at you fucking retard.

I really hate Jim talking about anything technical, because you see in real time HOW he thinks and HOW fucking stupid he is, and you feel bad if you have any common ground with this absolute dipshit, and agree with him on ANYTHING.

He is really, really stupid and doesn't know anything about the world outside of Jersey/NY and his dumb hotel rooms. You don't need a fucking security guard shithead. Nobody knows who ya are.

Tim! Tim! That employee named Bill at your Manhattan store needs to be fired! Fire him. Ughhh... Jim is such a deplorable piece of shit.

I'm listening to old shows from 2005 and I can't help but smile at just how wrong they were about Sirius every time they refer to it as the "Little Doggy Company."

They trashed the iPad, as I recall. Then again, most people did.

Jim would have talked about it on his podcast, but he couldn't get the equipment into the city.

I can't tell if you're calling him a hipster a moron or both.

7 iWhereSchortSchorts 2016-07-13

It's a reference to the show insinuating that he doesn't live in the ghetto or anywhere near one. Which by extension means he doesn't live by n people. Are n people morons? Well, those are your words not mine, friend.

5 spinuch 2016-07-13

That's just the city. Two story McDonald's isn't just for black people. Don't listen to Anthony he's never met more than 1 black person at a time unless it's for a radio bit.

It was so brilliantly uncomfortable when Smith and Gomez were watching some white girl get fucked by black dudes, Ant could not handle it.

Lest we forget "High Tech Jimmy" not knowing that he could get

Google "Street View" on his iPhone, then going off on an insightful rant

how "in a few years", this will all be live video instead of just still pictures.

4 andiswearrrr 2016-07-13

I remember they had a guest on the show once saying that by the end of the 2010's, we'd all be wearing contact lenses, and when we looked at someone we'd see their bio. Like what google glass was supposed to be. I'm so glad that turned out to be a failure.

1 ihaveaholeinmyass 2016-07-13

4 Lamarspeckah 2016-07-13

I heard an old clip recently where Norton put on his pretend smart voice to declare that physical books would make a comeback once the 3d printing technology is good enough to make them.

Is this some new Boardroom Jimmy offshoot? Retarded Futurologist Jimmy.

I have to go stare out of a window or something for a bit now to recover from how fucking stupid that idea is.

3 Clibanarius 2016-07-13

I hear there's a way to print out a book already. It's called a fucking printer, worm.

3 Bick_Bickerson 2016-07-13

Does anyone have this clip? That might be the most mind bogglingly retarded thing I've ever heard, 3D printing books

2 BucketOfDirt 2016-07-13

I hate to post this kind of thing without the clip to go with it but unfortunately I don't have it. I'm fairly sure it's early on in one of the Nopie shows and there's no guest at least up to the time that he says this. I'll try to track it down, if I find it I'll post it here.

3 panjshirlion 2016-07-13

Future Jimmy was always the worst. He based his theory of what human society will be like [an emotionless hive-mind] on the placid appearance of aliens in science fiction movies. Really. He did that.

2 Leofan7 2016-07-13

As much as he stinks with technology, he's still more knowledgeable than most C|Net reviewers.

2 blackirishlad 2016-07-13

he loves these phrases: "eventually all..." "eventually, everything will be..."

followed by some surface level regurgitation of what he heard from Ray Kurzweil about the singularity but ends up attributing to Michio Kaku.

buffoon.

1 late_50s_why 2016-07-13
