“Reddit sucks the butt.”

-SplashJackson, 2024

Good luck. It has certainly helped me.

Never had a calculator watch, let alone a collection of broken ones.

I’m techie enough to be interested in federated social media networks. I’m techie enough to start using Linux. Ain’t that enough techie?

This place feels like a breath of fresh air. It genuinely helped me cut down on social media usage.

I browse Reddit anonymously nowadays on a web browser. I still absolutely hate the experience. It lags way too much, videos suddenly become “no longer available”, spend enough time and it will yell at you again for getting the app as if it didn’t when you first opened the site (at least it’s not as insistive as Instagram, an even worse website), that new logo reeks of Discord and Android having a baby, and not to mention, comments with a negative karma score are automatically hidden for whatever reason.

I only continue browsing that site to catch up with some communities with no real equivalent on Lemmy.

Have you read the Wayside School books? I haven’t.

Have you watched the cartoon that was based off them? I actually have. And idk, I actually kinda liked it. To me, this is the fun type of “junk food cartoon”. A fun time waster if you will.

Maybe one day I’ll grab one of the books to really figure out if they’re that better than the cartoon adaptation. Maybe the latest one (Wayside School Beneath the Cloud of Doom) will wow me.

Got it.

A bit of both. I also don’t like capitalism.

I guess I’ll have rich people for lunch.

I’m pretty old. Not very old, but old enough to be a legal adult. And I’m possibly the most liberal person in my family. I’ve been this way for years.

You mean Linux newbie.

Wait, Bill is a first name too.

Does this mean I can name my hypothetical child Dinar?

Also the currency of Vietnam.

You’re welcome.

I genuinely thought that what comes after “well done” is “congratulations”

We could make an anti-MEMRI.

The Hebrew letter Chet does indeed correspond to the Arabic letter ح which makes the hard H sound. Since most Hebrew speakers cannot pronounce it, the closest sound to them is KH (also represented by the letter Kuf, Arabic equivalent is خ), thus when they try to pronounce “Hamas”, they end up saying “KHAMASSS”. And no, Chet is not the only Hebrew letter affected by a sound change like this, but it’s the relevant one because it’s used in the Hebrew spelling of “Hamas”.

Hope that makes it make more sense.

First Neopets, and now Flappy Bird? No thanks.

The MacBook Wheel. Imagine how disastrous this product would be if it actually happened.

Not to mention that was the first time I discovered the Onion.
