And don’t forget to praise laissez-faire. But fuck with them by blaming capitalism for ruining it. But fuck them more by comparing it to how Lennin killed Marxism.

When I was younger, I had my Boomer in-laws decide that I would drive because I had drunk the least—I had drunk plenty. And this just seemed like something normal and I’d just nonchalantly say, “Oh, that makes sense. That’s smart.”
They were upset that I wouldn’t, insisted they would, and got more upset that I ordered a cab.
Fortunately, after they realised they’d lost, they sided with the idea being really stupid and irresponsible, but I think that’s just because they got morally caught out by a 22-year old.

Does your brain also say it with the same voice as “Reticulating Splines”?

I always remember the ‘pp’ by imagining it as some suburban estate. “Phillip Pines”

It was using “–” as an em-dash out of em-dash context that sent it over the edge.
Imagine an engineer, “Really need to tighten this bolt… Toss me a hammer!”
But, you’re right. Most people online don’t live under the Grammar Nazi rule, for sake of convenience and casual comms. But in the case of this person’s own context, gawd damn. Got their major from Captain Crunch U.

lol. All those flyby probes we’ve sent to other planets in the system and we could’ve just pointed our interstellar telescope instead and looked for puddles.
- Comment on can i still consider myself to be a valid asexual? 1 week ago:
Just ignore the labels. They’re one-size-fits-all ideas made up by strangers at some point, so you’ll never be able to properly wear any of them. They’re ultimately pointless things anyway.

Pff. I knew way back in the first Railway Empire.
- Comment on Why do some people with college degrees and an education, still act so fucking stupid? 2 weeks ago:
Work at a university; try telling that to the academics. Some of them are phenomenally simple that I often wonder how they continue through adult life. The are coinvicrd of intellectual superiority because they’re a world expert in frog genders, but struggle to solve simple problems or absorb reasoning without having it dumbed down.
A university is like a daycare for those adults. And the trantrums and toy throwing they have with each other, oh my god. Daily I wonder how some of these people would survive if they ever had to leave school.
- Comment on Pet Talk. 2 weeks ago:
I dunno if it says something about cat owners or just some certain people, but when I do the same thing to my dogs, “Well, look at the handsome boy. How’d you get to be so handsome, handsome boy? So brave and fluffy too!”

I wouldn’t say woke is against norms, rather against traditionalism. Traditionalism itself is often abnormal, even within its own culture.
- Comment on its actually worse bc ports are counted twice for 2.0 & 3.0 3 weeks ago:
When I worked for Apple, I do remember the iOS devs having racks of iOS devices all being flashed at the same time off a single Mac. But I don’t remember the count and this was years ago—like Snow Leopard to El Cap era.
I was just kind of data analytics, but the labs were near my area, so can’t really give much more info, but mildly interesting, I guess?

That business behaviour is illegal where I am. We have regulations and they’re actually exercised.
- Comment on Which government he might be talking about 🤔 3 weeks ago:
God damn, not even the Vatican has laws like that now. Their age of consent went from 12 to 18 recently. I believe the marriage exception got raised to 14, which is still kind of wild, but not Iowa levels. Many of those laws are in place for, and exceptional to, accomodating marriages that occured in a culture where it is acceptable but the marriage is obviously no longer in that country/culture.
For those that consider marriage “a thing” these laws are intended to balance the respect of marriage and respect the immaturity of a young mind and body. For those, like me, that recognise there is literally no purpose for marriage, they’re entirely insane laws to go that low.

I find it especially weird when people try to gaslight on the internet. Like people just forget we allI have the ability to see the thread and read the words in it.
Usually this happens when someone kicks off a reply with “So”

- Comment on How possibly? 4 weeks ago:
So long as the result is a bazillion comments with as many upvotes as downvotes on each, it’s a good shitpost. Bonus points if it captures those two cliche users that end up frustrating the hell out of each other as they strive to be first in a 20 comment head-to-head marathon that goes absolutely no where. All because some people take it seriously while others take it as a joke; minimal effort by OP.
This community seems to lean quite a bit toward people taking things seriously, or they simply don’t notice where they are before they unsheath their keyboards.

- Comment on Anon misses flash 5 weeks ago:
Yeah. I remember as a teen, my father said I should look at learning Shockwave as a potential career pathway after school. It was taking the web by storm and many people were convinced that Macromedia’s visions was the future of the web.
I still kind of remember Macromedia Lingo. I had taught myself HTML—which was an extremely easy thing to learn for a child back in that day—and I started learning Director, JS, and Shockwave.
By the time I was older and out of school, Adobe had aquired Macromedia. Websites had gone from basic HTML, images, frames, etc. to entirely animated opening scenes vectoring together beautifully over the top interfaces. UX was out the window because everyone’s brain is as happy to explode at how cool an interface functioned…once it finally loaded lol.
- Comment on Anon misses flash 5 weeks ago:
To be fair, Macromedia had peak Flash and Dreamweaver for “Website dreams can come true!” era. When Adobe acquired them, they started ruining it and leveraging legacy. Yes, the tech improved as would be expected over time, but the passion was gone. Adobe killed Flash but had already taken its soul years earlier.
People don’t realise many of their favourite Flash games were from 2005 or earlier—the larger parts of the golden era. They were Macromedia games then.

Yeah WH1000XMs are a very popular bang for buck wireless set. 5 is the latest.
That said, I have 2s that still go strong besides the battery. 4s going strong for a few years. Partner has had 5s for almost two, no issues. All plastic hinges.
Not sure what OP is doing. Seems like a difficult part of the headset to break.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
That’s similar to the one where they couple breaks up over a misunderstanding and all it takes is one of them explaining in like 10s. But instead someone storms off while the other pleas, and deep down you’re like, “That motherfucker so wanted it to end anyway.” But then we deal with post-break up scenes and you realise they’re just idiots that still haven’t even thought to clear up the misunderstanding via a single text, call, or friend like that afternoon.
