Very cool. Glad I joined up with .zip.

The freakiest part about this is how believably muskrat’s face photoshops in.

Hey now, something happens:

The “damn it I forgot, let me google it” option, back then, was looking it up in the set of encyclopedias your family probably had. Or if you didn’t have a set, or needed more elaborate information, you went to the library.

I remember it was a big deal as a kid when we got the encyclopedia Britannica on CD-Rom. So I could just type in what I was looking for instead of having to try to find it manually.

When I visited France, I always attempted to speak French, and would explain in French that I was very bad at it, and I only had good interactions where people seemed to appreciate the attempt and would switch to English for me or if they didn’t speak English we would just use google translate. Even in Paris.

I’ve often thought about the idea that there is really no such thing as true altruisim. Because no matter what, you feel good about doing good. Even if you don’t tell anyone about the good thing you did, you still get a good feeling from it, therefore there is some inherent selfishness involved no matter what.

Of course there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. People should absolutely being doing good things and get to feel good about it.

I feel like a laser cutter would have left discolored edges. Could be a cricut style bladed cutter though.

Well, maybe if they stopped eating so much avocado toast and went looking for a job, they could find one. /s

Also, anyone else have to look up what a “NEET” is?

Andrew Jackson was the cruelest so far. Give Trump more time to cook and we will see.

I too have wondered about this. I doubt I will ever think to ask a chatbot a thing I would normally just “google” using a search engine. Sifting through search results is a skill/habit honed over 25+ years that just makes more sense to me. I also don’t trust AI to answer correctly.

I often tear up from scenes from movies and tv. Yet basically never do for anything in real life.

I was listening to an NPR story the other day about how a ton of people showed up to donate blood to save an infant, and only one was a match, but it was anonymous, now the kid is a healthy 20yr old and the mom can’t thank the person who saved them. It had my eyes all mushy on my commute home.

Yet, I had a cousin, and an uncle pass within the last few months and while I was sad, and I miss them, not a tear generated.

From the ones I know, they all at least pretend to care very deeply about kids being molested and trafficked. However, when faced with evidence that Trump was involved with Epstein and has been accused of sexual assault they insist it’s just coincidence and a witch hunt, and that it’s more important that Bill Gates and Stephen Hawking were in the flight logs.

They care about kids until it’s politically inconvenient.

Yeah, he’s super best buddies with Jenny McCarthy, and spouts the same nonsense she does.

Chuck Norris.

As a kid growing up in Texas in the 90s, Walker Texas Ranger was cool. Early internet memes about him were hilarious.

Then he said if he were elected president he would “Tattoo an American flag with the words, “In God we trust,” on the forehead of every atheist.”

Ever since I’ve been the killjoy, saying “fuck Chuck Norris” to anyone making a Chuck Norris is tough joke.

Yeah, I was never a true believer or fanboy, but back before he lost his mind and fired his PR department, I was cool with the electric cars, space exploration, solar roofs, trains, and even fun flamethrowers.

The occasional tracksuit too, I would guess.

The Nile has multiple branches that intertwine and move over time. They have found evidence that at the time the pyramids were built, a branch was much closer to them. Facilitating moving the limestone blocks via boat to the construction site.

Ah, yeah that makes sense. Or maybe bottlecaps.

I imagine the Russian people will come up with a physical shadow currency of some sort or resort to far more bartering.

I’m sure you will do great. If you haven’t already check out massive Dev chart. I use the app “film developer pro” for my timer. It pulls times and temps from massive Dev chart. Let’s you set up a process chain of timers and beeps at you to agitate. Etc.
