This was posted in my D&D party’s group chat. Lorenzo steps outside to take a call, things are moving but we were still collecting evidence. Ten minutes later, he returns to “Hey, we solved all the murders and are about to enter combat with all the bad guys at once, roll initiative”
Ooh, gonna add that to my phrasebook
What’s a Layer 8
That is some psycho behavior right there. Glad you escaped a serial killer alive
Ancient Aliens x Thrive.
Honestly, I wish that was a show
This is correct. The natural numbers are better known as the counting numbers, and do not include 0 or the negative numbers. I personally think the classification is a bit bullshit given how they really only matter in meatspace. I have never seen the distinction between integers and natural numbers come up in real mathematics
About 10. Used Tails to use my dad’s laptop to watch Battlestar Galactica until 3 am.
I didn’t see the point of mainstream distros at the time because
But have you seen one with your eyeholes?
Honestly I hate gatekeepers, I just like reminding millenials that there are people in their mid-20s that have never used a floppy drive
I’ve met adults my age that have never seen a vhs
I think you misunderstood the timeline. But your point would have been valid back then. I was a bit obsessed with the screen time that I wasn’t allowed at home, and did some pretty bad things to my parents computers so I could watch Warehouse 13 and Battlestar Galactica until 3 am.
I distinctly remember a moment when I was 21 when I suddenly realized that I could actually control my impulses. It’s so freeing to have a fully developed prefrontal cortex.
I didn’t get a suspension because my parents and social worker went to bat for me. But still
It’s such a rejected behavior to even consider suspending you for this.
They did take the smooth-brain interpretation of “He figured this out because he was buying drugs on the school computer” instead of considering that if that was my motivation, I would no longer be able to buy drugs on the school computer after telling them
It was a very enlightening experience for me LOL
I usually say that, but still poke at it until I figure out how hard the problem is:
Tbh the only reason I can get away with the free help is that I live a slow-paced life and usually only speak to 2-5 different people each day
The amount of bloatware in windows 10 made me very uncomfortable (and the fact that they stopped supporting briefcases infuriated me) so I stayed on Windows 7 until Microsoft stopped supporting it in 2020. Tried out some distros like Mint, Pop OS, Puppy Linux. The one I liked the feel of most was Zorin OS.
The main thing that surprised me was how little I actually understood about what Microsoft has become. I did not know, for example, that you can use the Office apps online until this week. I also had been completely oblivious to Minecraft Java Edition being forked into a Linux Edition until I tried to install it. It honestly feels like waking up from a 5 year coma, where everything seems familiar but slightly different.
My main regret is that I can’t tell people I’m terrible with computers now, since my family and friends know I use Linux. The upside of this is I’ve gained some confidence with tech since I can’t just throw up my hands and go “oh no, i cant fix this, my tiny monkey brain could never comprehend the arcane arts”
The article was posted in 2013. It is exactly a decade old. And kids still cant use computers today
Speak for yourself.
This just brought back a memory of my MIL telling me that “Hasan Minaj is a great black comedian” after going to see him perform live.
Shes one of those liberal WASP PC police who care much more about whether what you said is polite than whether it’s actually a good thing to say. She is outwardly supportive of the LGBT+ (even likes Rupaul’s Drag Race) but she also grounded her daughter because she asked a girl to prom. I can’t stand her.
I stepped away from lemmy for a few days, and then the poop post happened
Do you have links to those horrifying NSFW communities? Just for research purposes
With the exception of Artemis, who didn’t seem too interested in sex at all
Can confirm. There was a “Hispanic” girl at my high school whose parents were actually from Spain.
