Rollerblading was so cool when I was younger and then that one joke came out and it died immediately. It didn’t take long for rollerblades to be permanently referred to as "Fruit Boots’. This was also back when casual homophobia was the de fecato standard amongst tweens.
Truth. I’ve been rewarded for putting out fires that I caused. I find the best thing to do in these situations is to keep my stupid mouth shut.
Oh yeah I figured it out eventually. My eyes were playing tricks on my. It may not be the most beautiful loaf in the world, but if it tastes good, that’s what matters the most.
Man it took me way too long to see this photo correctly. I was like "did he cut a peice off of the top and then put a blunt on it? What am I even looking at?
They haven’t even figured out how out make profit off of it, let alone maximize it. I really don’t understand the current approach. “Let’s slam this unfathomably expensive technology into everything and not turn a profit. Oh, also, it’s destroying the environment and making electronics and power really expensive”
That literally covers all streaming platforms. Go after Netflix lol good luck. Also YouTube? Also basically the fucking internet? Like what the fuck?
“If it smells like shit everywhere you go, check your shoe” sums it up pretty nice
Lots of call outs to Postal 2, but not a lot of talk about the GTA series? Weird. Postal 2 was “3 edgy 4 U” and all, there were definitely some hilarious and violent things you can do. I remember pissing in somebody’s mouth and they started throwing up, so I hit their head off with a shovel, and the vomit continued to shoot out of their neck into the sky. But once you get past the shock value the game is pretty bland. I played the hell out of the demo back in the day, and eventually got my hands on a copy and I remember thinking “oh, it’s just the same thing but with more levels”…
Anyway. The GTA series are actually good games. Like the controls, physics, story, comedy, etc etc… But also, you can go into a boutique clothing store in a affluent part of the city and murder all of the patrons and then when the cops show up - shoot rockets at their cars. Then pull somebody out of a high end vehicle and beat the shit out of them with a baseball bat and escape a high speed car chase. You can even play it in VR. Never done it myself but I remember seeing videos of beating people with blunt objects while they attempted to put their arms up in defense but succumbed to the blows and went unresponsive on the ground and though “holy fucking shit, that was really violent”.
Anyway… That also lost its shock value pretty fast, but at least the games remained fun when playing the objective.
Lounge lizard here. You best bet I’m getting there 3 or 4 hours early so I can drink prosecco, eat chicken thighs (it’s always chicken thighs), and play my steam deck. Maybe have a dessert and a coffee. Make sure all of my electronics are charged full and my bowels are empty.
Also depends on the airport. I have been in some pretty small old lounges before, but the other option is sitting around in a hotel room for a couple hours? I suppose I could putz around the city I am in with my luggage for a bit but that doesn’t seem like much fun either. But that’s only a concern on the flight home. The flight out is going to be LGA every time it can be and I am going to maximize my time in the Centurion Lounge.
I think it’s a post-bubble-pop boycott. These manufacturers are not ramping up production because they know the demand won’t be permanent. So when things return to normal, whenever that is, we continue to not buy their products.
The problem is this relies on two things One - people actually remembering Two - Data centers, enterprises, and OEMs, who make the large majority of HDD purchases also boycott.
Yeah I was gonna say “I wander the wasteland looking for my dad”
And a chain mail glove.
Not joking. You can get them cheap and they will save your finger tips.
Mandolins usually come with those plastic things to hold the food you are slicing, but I always find them to be awkward and kinda sketchy. Like they can slip off the track and send your knuckle down on the blade etc.
Chain mail glove.
If you’re willing to spend the money, get a Ken Onion knife sharpener. It’s a belt sander specifically designed for knives and tools. You plug it in, adjust it to the angle that you want, and pull your knife through while powering it. It’s way faster than any sharpening stone, and has almost no learning curve. You can put higher/lower grit on it depending on what you need. Got a chip in a knife? Hit it with low grit and grind it down until the chip is gone (yeah you will lose some knife, but as far as I know there’s no way to add metal back to a blade). Want to just touch up your knives? Use medium-high and then high grit. Shit, you could sharpen a butter knife to a razor if you’re so inclined. It’s a bit of an up-front investment, but it’s a great fool-proof way to sharpen knives really fast.
Oh the terminal doesn’t scare me. I’m a Powershell junkie, so the terminal is warm and inviting. I just haven’t had the time to do it. Im also a windows admin by career so I like to be tuned into Microsoft’s bullshit to some extent, it’s part of my job. One of these days I’ll get around to it.
Wait, like all the time?
In the US, every time the Winter Olympics come around there is this temporary curling craze where everybody gets super into it and you would swear it’s their favorite thing and then the Olympics end and it disappears out of everybody’s mind instantly. Like a spell being broken or something. It’s weird.
It’s pretty great! I miss some of the smaller communities on Reddit, like I still go back there for /r/Intune while I am working, but it will be a cold day in hell if I ever install the reddit app on my phone.
There are some side affects of Lemmy though. I’m pretty close to installing Linux on my computers. Just haven’t found the time.
Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

Who does it off the toilet seat?! Everybody knows you use the back of the toilet! Not the seat!
Side note: I’m glad my days of experimenting with drugs was in the smart phone era. You always had something to put lines out on right in your pocket.
I read somewhere that police are conditioned to shoot to kill because of this. You’re less likely to get in trouble if you kill the person because you never get to hear their side of the story. Of course none of that really matters anymore because you can clearly get the whole thing caught on video from 5 different angles, and still not get in trouble.
