My kid is almost 27, and he hasn’t been on a date since he was six. The little girl down the street, with very strange parents, asked him over for a play date.

(No, I don’t say anything to him about it. It’s none of my business.)

Okay, they were laughed at. Then what? Did the guy blow it off and try with someone else, or never try again? It’s not how many times you get knocked down…

I think it’s genetic for all mammals to find all baby mammals cute. Adults, IDK.

Split days off sucks, from personal experience, don’t do that. Two days together off in the middle of the week is good if you don’t care about a social life.

I’m gonna miss Danny.

Do you know how long it took me to figure out I’m stupid? What am I, stupid?

Oh, wait…

Well, this hurt. So, there’s that.

He actually thinks I’m defending fucking TRUMP when i point out Dems fuckups.

Herein lies the biggest problem. We’ve taken up sides along the single line drawn for us, and are therefore blinded to the fact that this is a class war. You can say “it’s not red versus blue”, and get nods of agreement, and then in the next sentence, they’ll say shit like this, showing they don’t really get it.

I think this is the third time this pic has got me.

Shhh. Let them stay at home, I don’t need the competition.

Only when the pain of bowing to Microsoft, and their increasing intrusions and demands, exceeds the (IMO) minor pains (multiple) of switching to Linux, do people make the jump. That threshold is low for some, and high for many.

I’m a Linux Mint exclusive guy for one year next month, and I’m never installing Windows again. No, it didn’t “just work”, but it did work 85% out of the box, and the rest I was able to figure out. I’m NOT “an IT guy”, and the only OS I used before Windows was MS-DOS (so, yeah, I’m old).

I play Fallout 4, and Half-Life 2, and run Gimp, Inkscape, Blender, LibreOffice, Calibre, Jellyfin, Forge AI, PrusaSlicer, Meshroom, SABnzbd, etc. etc. Everything works fine, now, and I’m perfectly happy without Microsoft all up in my shit.

Oh, and, BTW, Gimp 3.0 is the shit. I’ve used Gimp off and on over the years, as a Photoshop user for nearly 30 years. Gimp doesn’t do everything Photoshop does, but it now does everything I ever used Photoshop for as a graphic designer for 20 years.

I’ve never had a Discord account. It’s gamers, right?

I use StartPage because it does image search, and none of the AI BS.

This should be illegal.

I often need to remind myself that Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings are not recent movies.

It’s the same as being a kid in the 80s, which I was, and thinking The Seven Year Itch was a recent movie. Now, I had seen that movie on TV, because my parents liked it, and I thought it was funny, but never did I think of it as “recent”.

Still, you can’t tell me that Harry Potter movies didn’t happen in the last ten years.

We should also get rid of starter motors. Who needs them? We can just hand crank the car to start it, like real men did back in the day.

Just recite a classic copypasta.
