Absolutely, lol.
Absolutely, lol.
Gotta admit, that’s pretty creative.
And the kids are rolling their eyes at it. Skibidi is no longer cool.
I vote we test it on Billionaires first. Especially their financial activities.
A carryover of terminology?
We still say “film” even though most everything is recorded and played back via digital video.
I’ve always viewed it as the Disk contains the Disc. IOW, the floppy has the magnetic disc in it. The optical disc is the disc without the Disk.
Probably completely wrong etymologically, but semantically it’s fun.
Oh no…
You push for the world”
Yeah, teachers just make them miss part of their breaks or whatever during school hours. My kids are about this age and come home occasionally with stories of some kid who wrecks things for everyone resulting in missing outside or other free time, or loss of whatever break from class work that may have been offered as a reward for conformity.
It’s the difference between a whole, cooked potato and Pringles.
That’s a grease pen, not a marker.
Looks like an anti acid medication label color palette.
“Would you go back to being a kid again?”
I think that implies retaining a certain level of awareness that you were an adult so that you could have an appreciation for the time travel.
The only reason I think I’d want to be a kid again is to see all the people that are gone today. I’m well past middle age, and there are fewer and fewer people left from my childhood, and the togetherness I experienced with family was something I didn’t really appreciate until it stopped happening - along with my failure to ask what their lives were like and learn history from their viewpoint. That’s what I remember most. Not the toys, the idle days at school or with friends. It’s Holidays. Bored out of my skull with people I didn’t appreciate, but yet being glad they were there. A lot of them aren’t anymore.
Otherwise being a kid kinda sucked. Your life revolves around what everyone else wants you to do and you can’t really say no, fuckit, I’m calling in sick today. All the stupid drama at schools. Your freedom (pre-internet) was held by your parent(s) willingness to get their car keys or if you had any money and a bicycle. I didn’t like school. I didn’t fit in. I would not go back.
Yeah, it’s better to be an adult in most ways. (I say that with the caveat that I understand some may have had easy childhoods or have very difficult adult lives. Meh, this turned into a bigger post than I expected. I guess I’ll leave it anyway).
“Low battery” warning.
I would not consider funeral costs as something to be entrusted to an income or to be solved by UBI. If the money comes in, it gets spent. That’s really the point, it’s basic, not pay for major life changes/events.
If you’re going to go down the route of paying for all of these things then we’re going to need to extend social programs to burial costs, cemetery or other costs of public access to the deceased’s location, etc.
Lost me at the “high T alpha”.
Yes they are.
They started with digital price tags stating it would “save the customer money” which is absolute bullshit. Adding a new tech-laden system to quickly adjust pricing isn’t saving anyone money, it’s a way to make more money.
Markus. Don’t know if they make them anymore, had it for years.
Edit: yes, they’re still made, but they’ve been changed a little and are more expensive.
Shitty gaming chairs fall apart like this. There are a lot of shitty gaming chairs. Funny, I got what I thought was a cheap-ass ikea chair and it’s still trucking along just fine.
Grok is a depth of understanding that will always escape Musk in his right-wing ivory tower.
That shit is infuriating, especially the stupid large fees of $25-35. Just like you said, have no money and they charge you a relatively huge amount in return.
That’s fucking disgusting.
Heh, my generation’s slang seems so boring compared to other generation’s. Rad, Totally, Awesome, etc. The words were almost straight out of a dictionary. Earlier in the century it was Cool Cat, bee’s knees, dogs, flippers, speakeasy, but as we approach Gen X it gets mundane. Now we’ve got weird shit every influencer and Vtuber tries to make stick so they have a “thing” to stand out with.
