There’s a YouTuber named Memoria Matters who has an inside joke that she’s trying to popularize the idiom “too many dogs on the dance floor”. I’m pretty sure it doesn’t have any particular meaning, however. It came up quite a few times during her Alien: Isolation let’s play, however.

I’ll take FOSS over the proprietary software we can be sure will do malicious things to us.

Does nobody remember Bearshare?

Probably if you’re too lazy to grab a cord, line it up with the plug, and press gently but firmly. With wireless, you can just lob it vaguely in the right vicinity and not overstrain your fine motor skills.

The only thing worse than reading documentation/tutorials about how to do things in GUIs is writing documentation about how to do things in GUIs. It’s just screenshot after screenshot. And following it is like playing a ScummVM game, only less fun and lots more alt+tabbing.

The twist: OP was ace the whole time.

OP is like the new Don_Dickle, only more so.

Winnocott’s term “Good Enough Parenting” may be at least a little bit related to what you’re looking for.

I suppose other options could be along the lines of “read these 30 dense psychology books or get a degree in psychology.”

Unfortunately, I don’t think I have much better answers for you, but I’d be interested to hear a succinct answer to this too.

Came here to say this. Thanks for beating me to it.

AI is part of the problem.

“Odd but harmless” is my favorite kind of person (or alien) to collide with.

Jeez. I totally meant to type 2001, not 2021.

Uh… that isn’t normal.

Honey, there hasn’t been an ounce of “normal” anywhere since at least 2021.

I guess it’s better than drinking Borax or injecting bleach…

It should be illegal for a video like that to exist without showing it firing.

Shrimp > blockchain. Can’t disagree with him there.

For that matter, shit is better than blockchain. Because at least shit is good for manure.

The U.S. has always been bullies, fundamentalists, militant, entitled. All the things you don’t want in an ally. Yes, the U.S. is worse now. (I’m American, by the way.) But I hope U.S. allies have kindof seen this coming and made arrangements to weather this sort of thing, even if it lasts forever. Myabe that was kindof the point of the E.U., for instance.

The U.S. isn’t the only country going off the rails, though. Think of Brexit, for instance. I’m not saying the U.K. government is anywhere near as… quite frankly openly fascist as the U.S.'s is right now, but at least the U.K. isn’t immune. Unfortunately no country is.

“Have a 4chan?” Isn’t 4chan loginless?

I wouldn’t want to stay married to anyone who would play these kinds of mind games.

So many folks in this thread saying they have to be high to tolerate their families. What’s the point of even attending a holiday family get-together if you can’t stand them? (Just get high at home with a couple of friends who also can’t stand their families.)
