Middle-age would be in your 40s-50s. Not to diss my dead relatives too hard, but you’re thinking of old fucks that would have any solid opinion on that. In a handful of years, the music middle aged men will be up in arms about is *NSYNC.

But the boxes were taken to the dumpster, yes? With time saved, even? Someone in a managerial position would rather hire, train, and pay a devoted garbage person instead of three adorably unpaid raccoons?

What other countries. I thought it was supposed to be Americans didn’t know geography and didn’t care to remember anyone else existed.

In order for us to expend some sort of energy making fun of someone, we’d have to both think of you and work ourselves up to caring about people we know little about in places we’ll literally never visit. I’d have to look up new slurs and read up on international politics and shit.

That sounds like a lot, if I’m being honest, and I’d rather rag on Ohio.

Is this…what all memes would be like under communism? I mean, I’m actually disappointed irl about the effort here. You’ve scraped a hole in the bottom of the barrel. Perhaps in search of potatoes.

Yeahhh. That writing, too, lmao. As a Carolinian, the little faded “comrade” was a good one. Down to earth and huge hearted as he was said to be, I don’t think the christian republican co-owner of Dale Earnhardt Inc. is your friendski, pal

It’s from It’s part of a comedy bit by Keith Lowell Jensen.

I’ve been contentedly silent til now, but I would also like OP to know that I keep them unblocked to laugh at them. I’ve thought about it several times, but then you get weird shit like “ripped Karl Marx” and “Communists are a separate subspecies of human.”

Chiming in, it feels super weird to say, but in part I do like it here because I use it less. Among the things I wanted out of social media, I would not have pegged “inactivity” as an apparent plus and there’s no getting around doing something else.

Does make me feel a little guilty, since I’m in essence lurking and then only every couple days when I still want this to succeed and could be offloading literally anything to make that happen. I’m just…distracted at the moment. With not social media.

Unsolicited petulance like this is why, instead of being empathetic about a situation we both share, I will never not laugh myself to tears as I watch the NHS deal with its massive backlog by killing brits via slowly privatizing.

You’re like the weird kid on the playground, pulling our hair because you have a crush on us

Just the nine, though? That’s only like 1.8 stabbings per day for me, tops. I could take being stabbed a little under twice for the whole day, and then the stabbing part’s over til tomorrow.

Ok, explain. Link me. I’ve been turning this over in my head. I cannot fathom what “fabric artist trading card” could possibly be

This is acceptable. I love chicken and hate Ted Cruz

Oh, that’s what that was about? I honestly just assumed Starry was some crap knock-off that the restaurant just happened to have that day. Not really sure what the motive would be or why they’d expect the reaction to rebranding a nearly 20yr old product would be any other assumption. I’m going to disagree with them. They should be glad I’m not calling them Sprite.

I personally would love to do almost all of those things. I wouldn’t want to do them as a job. There is an ocean of difference between doing something because it’s enjoyable and doing it because if I ever stop for any reason, I will starve to death in a ditch. Tends to kill the fun.

My ideal job would be chilling out as a professional student, splitting my time between large amounts of socializing and various crafting hobbies that are not stressful because my ability to live does not depend on them. Might even take up an instrument. Wouldn’t play it for anyone, I just like learning things more than I like anything else. Which is not monetizable.

Barring that, whatever allows me the most time to do so without making me miserable. Beyond the basic amount required to survive, life isn’t about money. Life is life.

Thanks for single-handedly ruining my entire character 😭

I’ve had strong feelings ever since I realized the little nubbins were where its legs used to be. Now I just eat them anyway and consciously don’t think about it

While not especially tech-inclined, I think I’m up for handling confusing these days and I got people I could bother if I run into jargon truly impenetrable. I really appreciate all the links as well as the recommendation, thank you :)

Edit: I also vastly appreciate the time they’ve taken to make a jargon and non-jargon version of the FAQ. That has to be a labor of love and most things along these lines can feel daunting and inaccessible past a certain point simply because other tech bros understand it perfectly without the need for crayons

Could you explain what Gemini is? I already know without looking that all my search attempts are going to be horoscope stuff, and I don’t have the info to really narrow it down to anything.

Then they logically wouldn’t have cared about the adblock in the first place…? Although I’m intending to go back to doing the same and it’s not about whether I make them sad or not. It’s a quality of life thing.

I’m genuinely sitting here wondering if I can flip my brain to see it that way, and that might even work in theory. But if this is my best way out…I don’t wanna be turned on by hot sauce 😭
