Hate to say it, but this reminds me of that Monty python Meaning of Life sketch about the John Cleese teaching bored kids about sex

I cannot stop laughing, thank you so much for that!

Can’t help adding:

-“Les testicules terribles”

-" You’re a man?" crotch grab on Raiden no need on Snake apparently.

-" nano-machines, son"

-" Amazing how you walk around like that"

It’s pretty rare for a “deep” friendship to work in spite of external changes (having kids, moving for work, politics) AND internal changes (generational experience, level of maturity, dealing with personal stressors)

Instead of looking for a nostalgic ideal of friendship, I think its more realistic to just make a goal to place yourself in new social activities that can give you fun moments of human connection.

Honestly, at this point in my middle age, it mainly comes down to: Do we have anything in common? Cool. Can we have a comfortable conversation beyond small talk? Great. Are we both willing to make time to hang? Awesome. Anything “deeper” can come later and organically IF the connection lasts. I can count on my hand how many “deep” friendships remain in my life.

Exactomundo.

Are you talking about 50 years ago or present date? Pretty sure Trump would get a slap on the hand at most. Besides, he can just point his sycophants in your direction and keep his plausible deniability.

My God, never saw the day I’d be happy about something to do with Chicago cops.

Slightly off topic from crt nostalgia:

I do miss the older ‘dumb’ flat screens. Feels like all devices, but specially tvs, are spying on us by default. It’s an exhausting privacy arms race with my home network against ads or tracking.

Meh. I kinda like his version.

Why do I get the feeling this was one of many non public corrupt decisions this man made? Apologies if this is not the case, but our shitty leader in US will have an iceberg of maleficence on his coat tails.

Honestly, I am so happy that Lemmy doesn’t tie votes to any points like Reddit. It’s a pity that people will still find a way to bring points into arguments. Yeah it sucks when people disagree with you, but can’t always be right all the time either.
