I save my profanity for times and things that are truly worth getting upset about. If you use it all the time, then it becomes meaningless. It just becomes background noise and you sound like a 10 year old all the time.

Company-wide email: “We had our best year EVER and it’s all thanks to YOU!”

Me: “Great. Can I have a raise?”

“Oh, we can’t afford THAT.”

I’d love it if VirtualBox emulated some really basic 3D cards (Voodoo 3, Radeon 9800) so I could do some old school gaming. I have a few old Windows games that won’t run under Wine.

This. It’s the creativity, inspiration, imagination and hard work of the employees that give the company its value, NOT the owners. Proof: all the franchises that have failed spectacularly once all the smart, creative people have left the company and the only ones left are untalented hacks.

Also, it is LONG past time we got over our child-like worship of billionaires.

how do I accept I’ll never know why any employer rejected me?

Ask yourself if it was ever a real job offer to begin with. Did you have the required skills? Were your pay requirements reasonable? (For YOU not them). Then you did fine.

Usenet was awesome. A distributed, decentralized network, with thousands of forums. Until it got taken over by spam and porn and a lack of moderation.

Now we have Lemmy. Let’s not mess it up.

If your elected leaders are using your tax dollars to send guns and tanks and bombs to Israel then THEY are responsible for the resulting carnage, not YOU. And your time would be better spent electing better leaders instead of setting yourself on fire.

This is the classic Trump response to an awkward, uncomfortable question. 1) Don’t answer the question and then 2) Answer another question that nobody asked.

For example, when Trump was asked about paying for hookers, instead of simply saying, “I don’t patronize prostitutes” he said, “I’m a germophobe” instead.

Imagine if Wine became the new Windows. (Or became all that was left of Windows).

This. There are employers out there who want you at their beck and call at ALL hours. Not because it “improves efficiency / productivity” but because they just want to fark with your personal life to the point where you don’t have one anymore. To make you miserable. Being able to control you all the time is what gets them off.

Another vote for Babydog. No dog ever would or could fark things up as badly as the GOP.

“WHAT WAS HE HIDING?”

Well, meatballs, obviously.

Wow. 10’1". (sign hanging under bridge)

There’s a bridge called the “11foot8” bridge that has its own YouTube channel and trucks crash into it all the time.

Before the 90s. I think the best time for cable TV was between 1982 and 88. MTV wasn’t crap. The History Channel had actual history shows and the Discovery Channel always had top notch science shows. We also had “Night Flight” on “USA’s Up All Night.” They would run back to back episodes, starting at 9pm on Saturday nights and ending around 4-5am Sunday.

Anyone who remembers 80s cable TV should feel incredibly ripped off by what they’re showing today.

Henry Kissinger. Whenever you needed the most depraved, amoral, anti-democratic take on anything, whether it was the Vietnam war or the Khmer Rouge or the civil rights movement, you could always count on Henry farking Kissinger.

Words mean things. Stop simping for millionaires. It’s embarrassing to watch.

Remember when the big selling point of cable TV was no advertising? And then it became 99% ads?

Yeah.
