Not mine, but my dad’s that I was there to witness.

It was summer (90s) and we were all camping at a lake. My sister and I were playing with some kids while my dad was chatting up the other kids’ dad. Just as I was getting out of the water I hear the other dad exclaim “you remind me of a guy I used to know called [name]!” My dad laughs and says “I am [name].” Turns out they used to go to school together decades before.

It’s stuck with me all these years, and has somewhat been turned into an inside joke within our family.

Met her briefly at a Sanders campaign rally. Would vote for her in a heartbeat.

I second 8bitdo. I have the ultimate bluetooth model and I love it. That one can switch between bluetooth and 2.4ghz. Unsure how multiple controllers using the dongles would work though.

On my lol 😂

I was medicated and mostly asleep. I’m leaving my typo. Love your response. Very true. LoL

This plus hypoglycemia 🙃 and that I rarely feel hungry before I’m starving… Thankfully I have my kids who tell me they’re hungry so I make myself eat them.

The demo was fun. Apparently I’m a mediocre heartless monster.

Where the Heart Is is the first movie I thought of

I remember us having an Atari computer along with some Compac computer running DOS in the late 80s. The computers I grew up with were models that we got for free from my dad’s workplace whenever they upgraded. We ran Win 3.1 until about '98. Win 95 was prevalent in the house until the mid '00s. Due to my dad’s job, we always had a computer of some sort in the house.

The computers in my elementary school’s computer lab were Apple 2es - in the 90s.

I didn’t get a cellphone until around 2004/2005, and then it was a hand-me-down from my older sister. The Nokia 5110 - the brick, complete with extendable antenna.

I am anemic and bruise easily. It’s a quick blood test, but it’s easily rectified if that’s the cause.

A single mouse will feed on a bird several times its size. Conservationists snapped a photo of one perched on the bloodied head of a wandering albatross chick. […] He said the birds have not developed the defense mechanisms to protect themselves against these unfamiliar predators and often sit there while mice nibble away at them. Sometimes multiple mice swarm over a bird.

Holy crap. Renewed fear of mice activated. I hope their plan goes as well as they’re planning. There’s no good solution here.

Blinkies - those small gifs that blinked to give the impression of glitter.

iframes - precursor to divs, but definitely added that “only works in IE” feel.

More contrast between font color and background image - it’s too easy to read.

12pt Times New Roman font - gotta squint to read and default font for everything

Flashy gif banner at your header and footer - bonus points if they’re the same image

All urls default to underlined blue and purple.

Mouse cursor with trails. The more sparkles, the better.

Clip art. Clip art everywhere.

As a woman who still has her uterus and ovaries but who has gone into the “it’s dangerous to get pregnant at your age” territory: I’m scared shitless. My last pregnancy ended in a stillbirth and that in and of itself has scared me. I feel horrible for being thankful that it happened months before RvW got overturned. I’m just ready to get everything removed so there’s not even an iota of a chance of pregnancy.

It’s a thing. It’s a disgusting thing, but it’s a thing. I remember, almost 30 years ago, my parents picking out a double wide trailer and they had to check a box to NOT get carpet in the bathrooms.

I remember watching the first season of Red vs Blue while feverish with the flu… All I remember is thinking “this makes perfect sense.” It does not make perfect sense 🤣

I don’t have one place I work at. My job requires I travel so I do a lot of driving (minor perk is I get paid milage and drive time). I normally work at two locations each workday, and it’s not uncommon for me to commute over 100 miles round trip. Until recently I was only working two days a week, and now it’s between three to four days depending on what I have to do.

Disclaimer: I don’t get paid nearly enough and am trying to find work closer to my rural residence. Corporate doesn’t want to give raises either.

Read, doom scroll lemmy, play casual games on my phone, catch up on my YouTube subscriptions, doodle/draw, listen to audiobooks, take a nap if able

Some people started singing it not knowing what it was

And they’ll continue singing it forever just because …

Nothing. My two cents is just the microwave to heat up you water and add your tea of choice to steep afterwards.

Hi. I’m a millennial raising gen z and gen alpha children.

Our whole economy here in Arkansas is tied to this organization, so you can’t really get a fair trial

I think I may start quoting this when people ask why I don’t like Walmart. I think the article helped convey how much sway the company has over the state. It’s scary. Glad I no longer live there.
