Good on you! Usenet has been around for DECADES.

I don’t have a guide that’s modern. I’m just remembering how I used to connect in the 90s-2000s.

The way we made fun of the war on drugs, I hope the future does the same with the Got Milk! Bullshit.

YOU NEED PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.

Now, do you want the milk with 2% fat and 46% cow shit or not?

Ive already been on edge for the past 30 years with how American products aren’t allowed directly in other countries because the EU bans certain chemicals.

And post-DOGE, I’m absolutely mortified.

Lemmy feels a lot more like old reddit.

New Reddit feels artificial. The written content posts LOOK like they’re from AI. Much of the subreddits are now curated. You can’t say Luigi.

Here, it’s a bit of a wild west. And that’s okay.

There isn’t much written content posts. But the comments? I’m loving it. It comes off genuine. Human. Real. Even the shitty ones that make me want to downvote but damn do I somewhat see their perspective.

Oh boy. If you look at Ubisoft’s stock prices, it’s way down.

Like high 80s in 2018. And now it’s 8, roughly 1/10th if it’s value.

They aren’t going to survive another few years at this rate without some bangers. How stupid their leadership has been, with NFTs, with their sexual harassment lawsuits, with bonehead anti-consumer practices is just accelerating this downfall.

I don’t know about that.

More like most hostel users have have giant backpacks, many are tourists, and one really huge creep that wants to sell your liver. And the party is a Quiz game at 8pm to meet every other tourist.

My art teacher in middle school would rant for hours about how awful Photoshop was for the industry, as “Photoshop effects” in movies are so noticeable. She was part of the group who wanted to ban CGI and Pixar because it wasn’t real art.

Yeah, They’re not going to suddenly start spending. But they’re going to plan a way to move offshores.

How do you think America lost manufacturing jobs in the first place?

Doesn’t matter if it gets rolled back or not. We’ve seen this over and over again and the tariffs just make it even more attractive to move ship.

How fast can a Japanese company move work to America to reduce import expenses?

Counterpoint: to avoid tariffs, how fast can American companies move out of America?

Grew up near a Dunkin.

They Munchkins and donut hole purists can shove it.

I can’t believe i forgot about how many times the dipstick created alts that talked to himself to make him look “cool”.

He’s freaking in his 50s.

I was like you a few years ago.

The crappy ones feel like that.

Then I sat on a fancy one that sang me a lullaby and gave me positive encouragement as I pooped. My god, my entire butthole is so fresh.

I now understand.

My friend in her 30s avoids dating apps because on those apps, either the guy calls himself a centralist and then wants a trad wife and a woman to know her place, or he calls himself not politically active and only listens to Joe Rogan for the discussions nobody else talks about.

Where my single male friends who are good dudes are afraid every woman is just a OF influencer.

I feel sorry for the dating scene.

“I’m not a Republican, I’m a centralist.” (Proceeds to list pro-republican things, bash Democrats, then talk about how weed is okay.)

Be sure to drink your Ovaltine

The pandemic showed us that we are willing to throw nice words around and call people heroes and then watch them melt down because nobody wants to work anymore to make my fajita.

Halo MCC version over the original.

I saw Halo running on a classic Xbox and tried to play with the clunky Xbox controller. Couldn’t do it. Everything looked so low res and blurry.

There’s something different between the two that I can’t put my finger on. Like everything feels a lot more solid?

I personally have a lot more memories of L4D and it’s cast of characters over L4D2.
