It’s great when people on your side of the border hate you because you support human rights, and people on the other side of the border hate you because of where you were born and lived untill recently.

Also simultaneously being told “you should just leave your shit hole country” from one group of people and also “you should stay and fix your own stupid country before you try and ruin others”

Basically “fuck you for existing, now go die quietly so we can get on with our lives”

And don’t even get me started on any sort of minority group and how shitty they have it here. Can’t even walk to the corner store without looking over their shoulder for ICE or some other thug law enforcement.

I would still say I don’t understand written German, and I certainly couldn’t understand SPOKEN German, but I understand enough to understand the memes.

So thanks for that, ich_iel!

At least some nutters have the decency to say that it’s mind controlling chemicals, not the “you’ll be dead soon” kind.

Kind of like the covid vaccine. I should have been dead in 3 6 8 months a year 2 years 3 years 4 years I’ll be dead in 5 years!

I can confirm yahoo still exists, and they’re great for my junk mail since I don’t have anything signed into it, it was made before you needed to link any personally identifying info so I think my name is still something like “fart boob” or something like that. 13 year old me thought it was hilarious.

Honestly if someone managed to hijack that account, either they’d quickly realize it was worthless or I’d be laughing as I tell them to have fun with their garbage, I’ll be sending some more soon.

Gotta justify their abuse somehow

Awww you think they stopped to listen to the message in the first place…

YOU SLEEP ON A FARM NAZEEM

YOU HAVE NOTHING IN THE CLOUD DISTRICT

Bitch ass posers thinking they’re better than us just because they walk around the fancy area of town sometimes…

Also your whole city is 30 people.

You ain’t fancy, bitch.

… Do you smell toast?

Lmao no I grew up in the 90s, and we only got cheap secondhand n64 games. The apartments I grew up in were in the middle of trailer parks, but they all owned the land their trailers were on so I’ll leave it up to the reader to determine who was more bougie.

My dad was the one who wanted the consoles and he isn’t tech savvy, so until I got my own money, it was always “plug and play” things, none of those new-fangled computers until Windows ME.

And hilariously, I got an old macintosh in the mid 2000s and had fun figuring everything out by trial and error based off what I knew of computers at the time. Even had the x wing game on several floppies.

I would have loved having a computer when you had to actually know how it works to use it.

I remember waiting for next month’s issue of different gaming magazines… I never bothered knowing which magazine it was, I just waited for my dad to return from the store with whichever one he wanted that day.

Honestly I miss in-depth game guides with the two pages of ASCII art at the top.

Younger me would have been blown away that reading would help me beat games in the future.

For the record, I have a small library now but when I first started playing NES-N64 games, I absolutely hated reading and never would have cracked open the manuals.

Found this out completely by accident once after my sister and I played some Mario.

I had the 2nd controller still plugged in, and while shooting the ducks I stepped on the controller and the ducks moved differently.

From the on, every time someone wanted to play duck hunt I would grab a second controller and make it harder for them.

Bonus knowledge: the original game works by a light-sensitive sensor in the blaster tip, and when you pull the trigger, the screen goes black and a white square appears whee the ducks were, in a specific order. If the game controller detects the light square, it counts as a “hit” on whatever duck was in frame. You can cheat by pointing the blaster at a white light and pulling the trigger. It will just go through them one by one as you squeeze, thinking the light is the duck square.

Sounds like your friend is just lame.

In seriousness, 99.999999% of people will live a “normal” life, and very occasionally, someone might have a time or two that elevates it above “normal”. The percentage of people who live “above” normal lives is so tiny, physicists would laugh at you for using so many decimal places.

Wanting more isn’t a problem unless that desire is killing what you have to be happy about now.

In other words, “don’t let perfect get in the way of good”

And I’ve heard all the platitudes.

I like to make people uncomfortable when they start going on about how my wife and I should have kids. She had a TL and I had a vasectomy. I usually start off with “kids are off the table for us.”

We SHOULDN’T have kids because genetics on both our families are shit.

We WON’T have kids because they’re awful to deal with 90% of the time, and neither of us feel that the world will be a livable place in their lifetime so it would be cruel to have children anyway.

We CAN’T have kids because the medical procedures.

If someone gets pushy about it, I act emotional, burst out that after so many miscarriages we have given up on children and the person should learn to take a hint.

So far nobody has had anything else to say after that.

I’m gonna go with “ascended energy being” since that’s a common trope. Nothing springs to mind otherwise.

living in a hovel

That’s more than I’ve got.

My first thought was “… Again? They need some better contraceptives” but no, it’s the same one… A shame, that would open the door for so many jokes.

It bothers me that it doesn’t say “build a fucking wall over the river”

What is a bridge if not a slotted wall over water?

Note: slot size may vary

An acceptable trade.

Yes. Yes it is.

Personal experience.

I have a 750w inverter plugged into my 12v plug, and it is absolutely more than enough to run the little 500w single plate burner I have.

I have used them together but I don’t do it outside of camping when it’s too rainy to use a fire. It takes forever to cook bacon eggs and pancakes on a single burner.

I ate it because I kept reading “aquariums” and thinking the author meant protected wildlife areas, and it didn’t click until I got to “marine exhibit”

And now I can honestly imagine them allowing rich fucks to literally fish inside national aquariums for a price.
