Not to mention the other two discord clones I can remember off the top of my head. Guilded (Owned by Roblox IIRC?) and Revolt Stoat, which I never hear anyone talk about, especially after their name change.

While point 2 is correct, I’m not entirely convinced he won’t declare it anyway and make up whatever excuse he wants

I wouldn’t be surprised if this wasn’t aimed for the average user, but unfortunately that means greatly diminished chances of success.

ooo I haven’t made them with Doritos before, that sounds great. Gonna try it next time I have munchies.

Not even the usual “things were simpler/better when I was a kid” nostalgia alone, but having a ritual/routine (most people went every X, so they had something to look forward to), being out of the house (even if it was to a store, at least you were outside for a bit), and sometimes even just getting to go somewhere with your friends/family (see: malls)

I don’t miss Blockbuster but I do miss little routines.

I remember when Twitter was juuust gaining popularity and someone explained what it was to me. I was really confused. “Why would I post to a platform with a character limit??” Like I couldn’t wrap my head around that self-imposed limitation.

By the time I saw/heard people writing whole essays and breaking them into 20 posts I was just like… why would you subject yourself to this? Blogs exist, go back to them.

I have Mint on my main PC but I put open suse tumbleweed on my laptop and I gotta say, I kind of love it. I probably won’t swap my main PC unless Mint does something to upset me, but I’m glad I have a fallback.

The unknown author bit got me hunting. I think this might have been the original URL though it doesn’t work anymore: http://ashemclemore.com/comics/baby.png

It’s gallows humor being used as a coping mechanism, a pressure relief valve.

I genuinely wonder if it’s something that’s meant to aid our development of things like empathy too. I only mention it because I remember when I was a child having an intrusive thought, while fishing, of splatting a fish against a cinderblock I could see poking out of the water and actually followed through on it. Hit by INSTANT regret and sorrow. It was a very shitty thing I did but since it still sticks with me I think it did teach me something about the value of animal life. So I wonder if that plays a part–getting kids to do stupid things to learn from them.

Plenty of people have told you ‘yes’ but I wanted to just say that this meme resonates with me, not because I wake up in the middle of the night, but because I’ve developed a really bad habit of eating about 1-2 hours before bed on snacks. I know it’s a habit and not just being hungry because I’ve been still-full from dinner and went “This is about when I’d be having a snack” and suddenly I want one.

Not having late night snacks really is the best way to break that habit but yeah the meme is a mood.

I agree that the puzzle solving is a huge factor in my enjoyment of Linux, and is the same for friends of mine who hopped over. But sometimes I have to remember there are some people who despise puzzles and they are not going to have a good time.

My cat knows it, it’s the pose she takes when she wants me to give her dinner early.

Tangent, but I remember when I was a kid I would try to explain people that I could “smell” the “air coonditioned air” and everyone was like “what? No you can’t, it’s just air. It doesn’t smell like anything.”

I never did figure out what the smell was. I’m guessing it was some kind of chemical; it wasn’t a bad smell, though. It smelled like ice cubes (which I know, doesn’t make a lot of sense either.)

Anyway, all this to say that a lot of people have very strong senses. (And the other comments about water not being neutral are correct as well!)

I know this isn’t the intent but oh god I never considered that porn sites being blocked would open an avenue for a bloated billionaire to try to capitalize on it for themselves.

I adore this metric, thank you for sharing it lol

Agreed. I don’t feel like satire that is making fun of important resources is very funny when plenty of people are trying to remove those public resources. Feels like getting mugged at knifepoint and handing them a gun to be ironic.

I’ll definitely check back in to see which carriers they support once they release then.
