We all think we’re living like we’re 18, until you actually come across an 18 year old and remember how awkward and awful it actually was.

But, I digress, 28 going on 29 feels an awful lot like any other age did, but with more frequent back pain. My birthday is coming up and I legitimately have pokemon cards and a Gameboy on my wishlist lol.

Fold your phone in to a paper plane to enter airplane mode. It won’t stop you from receiving calls, but it will look badass when your $2000 Samsung phone makes it several feet down the cul-de-sac

I was born in 96. My first console generation was PSX and GBC, followed by GBA and PS2. I think your gf just wasn’t in to gaming when she was little.

And if it reads 70s music records, it could be a disc disk disco drive!

I know what you’re thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I’ve kinda lost track myself. But being that this is a .44 magnum handgun, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: “Do I feel lucky?” Well, do ya … Punk?

For anyone who hasn’t seen it, or just hasn’t heard the full version.

The most interesting thing to me is not that people quote “do you feel lucky… Punk?” Because if you see it not as a direct quote, but as more of a condensed version, that references the movie, and accurately captures the signature “…punk?”

I think it’s more interesting that people have seemingly turned the quote around, because a lot of people then add the “well, do ya?” At the end. So it’s either “do you feel lucky… Punk? Well, do ya?” Which just doesn’t sound right to me. At least when it’s “do ya feel lucky? Well do ya… Punk?” It captures the essence still lol.

If there’s something illegal in your dish, you throw it out. It’s not a question. I don’t care that you spent a lot of time and money on it. “I spent a lot of time preparing the circumstances leading to this crime” is not an excuse, neither is “if I have to face consequences for committing this crime, I might lose money”.

I don’t know what he means, but in Danish it means “remembers tit”.

You cut your ravioli too small

The post is by an AMD employee, and the “insightful” button is not to say that you learned anything from this necessarily. Just that the post is, well, insightful. In this case, they see that he’s an employee who made a post sharing knowledge about something and are using it to show support. They’re basically using the company account to back him up by confirming he knows what he’s talking about. Like you do when you confirm peoples skills etc.

I don’t know about car companies specifically, because I’m in IT, but 99% of my feed is programmers sharing basic programming stuff that is liked by other programmers who obviously already know, or power users sharing OS specific tricks that everyone else who liked definitely also already knew. That, and invitations to seminars on cyber security. It’s like a big ego stroking fest where the only way to make your presence known is to make posts like these, so everyone else who knows the same stuff you do can look at it, stroke their beards and say “hmmm, quite, yes, yes” in a very sophisticated manner.

I don’t get it? This looks like standard, boring LinkedIn stuff to me?

Same, I also block communities that consistently show up on my all-feed with negative content. I’d rather miss an interesting post than see negative stuff regularly. There’s enough stuff to be depressed about, and those 5 minute pocket-lemmy breaks add up. If all those moments were to be consistently negative, I’m sure it’d do a number on my mental health in the long run.

I had ties to both Zee and Zed-speakers growing up, but in my experience, Zee and Zed can be used somewhat interchangeably, even across the pond. This might be in order to account for names (like Z Z Top and Jay Z), puns (such as La-Z for lazy) or even ease of pronounciation - when playing CSGO, I’ve heard Americans refer to the CZ-75 as Cee-Zed-Seventy-Five, because they found it weird to switch between the cee, zee and seven sounds, but I’m not sure how common this is.

Which is exactly what they’re doing if you read the article.

That’s good advice, but tbf when I’ve done something like this, it’s not because I’ve had a little money and decided to go for olives and chips

At the store, busy being expensive

Same. Like the parent of a child grown up, RIF has been forced to let us go, but not without influencing our direction lol
