“Such a fool! He should obviously let the treacherous gas bag fleece him blind while he silently smiles and nods obsequiously. Now he’s ruined his chances!”

I don’t know much about the man other than bits and pieces of how he’s handled this horrific invasion, but from what I’ve seen, he has continually shown more honor and backbone than most other politicians I’m familiar with. I don’t expect things will end well for their country at this point, but I think he is a credit to himself and his people.

I think platonic love between men is too often overlooked and unconsidered these days, more often dismissed for a assumed hidden erotic love instead. Attention between men shouldn’t only ever be viewed sexual. That’s how we get grown adults that can hardly bear to touch each other if it’s not some overly aggressive handshake or other"macho" bs.

That said, these two were definitely fuckin’.

Phone cameras at least still partially resemble point-and-click cameras. I don’t think there’s any way to develop out of the need for optical lenses, so that will always be recognizable. That said, I was at a wedding recently and it was hilarious to watch children run around with disposable cameras and get confused that they had to wind them between shots and couldn’t see the photos immediately, hah.

Shame they never invented anything to store such treasures on for later generations. Nobody but people alive in the 80s will ever see this classic gem.

People don’t need to know how to write a program from scratch to have useful tech knowledge. Knowing basic keyboard shortcuts puts a person above the vast majority of other people in terms of tech literacy.

More like Millennials. Gen X may have been around for the duration of the silicon boom, but it was largely niche “nerd shit” when they were kids, and only became widely accessible/acceptable to them with the same changes that have left Gen A lacking basic computer skills. Millennials, though, grew up through the full development of PCs and the Internet and had to learn how to navigate them at their early stages, as well as keep up with the rapid changes. It of course still isn’t universal knowledge there, either, but anyone that used a computer regularly through the early 2000s is going to be levels above most people getting into it now.

We’re the same user. They’re just at the end of a good night out.

You are correct!

Har har har. Very funny ;p

Yes, that’s what people with Pica do.

It’s almost certainly an extreme case of Pica, accumulated over an extended period of time.

Using popularity as a metric for if somebody is worth validating isn’t remotely useful.

“Blistering” suggests it had merit.

While I don’t doubt that there’s a market there, I would never in a million years pay money for a “power user”'s reddit posts. Fucking wild.

but you could also just forget all about it and your life will be the same.

Some big “Thanks I’m cured” energy here. If they truly are germophobic, then just saying “get over it” isn’t gonna do jack shit as advice.

The topic is about helping Ukraine, not the US. Why in the world would you assume they were suggesting the latter?

Hmmm. I don’t think I’d count it myself, but I get it. At the very least, it surely gets credit for being so foundational for modern fantasy, which is a bit more folkorey imo.

Good news - you can block entire instances on current Lemmy. No need to go community by community.

Bad news - it does nothing about the users. You’ll still see their comments and posts elsewhere.

Again, my point hasn’t got anything to do with artists making money.
