Everytime I see a Gizmodo link I get Gen-X vertigo and feel like Robin Williams in the Jumanji meme.

Protest planners: "How do we disrupt Bannon’s press conference? "

Protester:

Sorry, I am just too old and tired to read full paragraphs.

All the young people are at school…

Ooof…

When you are so old, you can’t even remember the schedule for summer break. 😉

It’s a slight numbing feeling on the tip of your nose once you get buzzed. I used to feel it when I was young but don’t even notice it now. She was explaining “getting buzzed” to a kid. It worked for me at least.

I am old enough to get that joke. 😭

Can confirm. I grew up in the Carribean and I was allowed to drink beer and wine at a very young age. My mother taught me how to drink. I was definitely prepubescent, which is important because I hit puberty at ten, when she explained that drinking can make you feel sick and that if I felt my nose feel funny I needed to stop and drink water.

Binge drinking and being fall down drunk is seen a something stupid, embarrassing, and something that only alcoholics do. I still find it strange and embarrassing when I see people racing to unconsciousness. What is the point of being blackout drunk before 9:00pm? We used to party until the sun came out, then we’d get breakfast and go to bed.

And miss out on those sweet Telegram views?!?

Those are literally the only two non-trashy things about them.

One might say they are a bit Trash-E.

Good thing I am a patient gamer.

Absolutely. Enterprise license and MSDN was expensive and a pain in the ass. Once we dropped support for Microsoft as a whole and transitioned to Google Apps (early adopters) everything became easy. OSX never broke, although the hardware could be problematic at times. The main reason most of us started transitioning to Linux from Mac was Apple’s hardware choices. That said, I have a MBP M3 Max for music and graphics and that Apple silicone is absolutely beastly.

He should have made it clear that he would not seek a second term. Instead he pulled a RBG (she refused to retire when Obama asked her). We are now basically four months from election day and that ship has sailed. All we can do is vote D no matter what. Don’t confuse me doing what must be done with pride and “patting myself on the back”. His ego fucked us and now we have to deal with the mess…again. Thankfully, with the exception of their support for Israel’s genocidal campaign, his administration has been quite competent.

All of our laptops are either Mac or Linux. Eight or ten years ago it was all Mac but now it’s mostly Linux. Ultimately, clients that have closed Windows ecosystems always provide us with laptops or a jump station to connect to. So if they are going to do that anyway, there was no need for us to Windows internally.

This is Lemmy after all.

If you do not vote, or vote for anyone other than whatever Democrat is on the ticket, Palestinian will be fully wiped out or forced to live in an open air prison the size of a postage stamp, Ukraine will be steam rolled over, Americans who are not straight, white and faux-Christian will be third tier citizens, and American democracy will be dead, forever. Go sell your bullshit to someone else. I have seen too much shit to fall for such a weak and obvious maneuver.

Don’t vote for the man, vote for the administration. The Trump administration will be evil incarnate and absolutely the end American democracy.

Duh

Me, a Gen-X’r in tech since the mid-90s.
