Exactly. Everyone’s a revolutionary in the boardroom but you’re lucky if anybody’s got your back stomping up to the manager’s office.

Exactly. If there’s a line companies love saying it’s “In these uncertain times…” The more you’re worried about unpredictability, the more predictable their little lines get…

You’d think the working class would be a part of society “too big to fail.” =\

It sucks so much that it was just a result of being cheap. Replacement Hall-effect sticks seem to function just fine, people say, but you don’t expect to need to crack the warranty sticker within mere months. :(

I just remember the very 2007-ish inverse of this: Look out for your local spider gang, and they’ll look out for you. XD

I went broke after I turned the thermostat to 15, opened all the doors and windows, left the fridge and freezer open, until FINALLY it started to snow sometime around December.

Did I get a thank you for my service? No. Just warm beer and melted ice cream.

What more do you people want from me. :(

Lol

Cosmo? Isn’t that Pop_OS’s new DE coming out? :D

Me, with a few “POGs” in my pocket. Wobbly furniture beware!

(Jk those things are relics now.)

Noooo Commander Taggart noooo :( :( :(

Now you have 1 plumbing skill. :D

A strawman

I think this one might be made of tightly bound dried hemp. 🤔

A little LESS chaotically, you can use emojis to name objects in Blender now… Which, I dunno, could be kinda fun in the right doses.

This picture had me progressively laughing harder as it progressed though LOL.

I only have three kitters, but I ngl I kinda dream of devising a fancy ventilation system that captures litter dust and smells without scaring them to death or sending all our hard-won climate controlled air outside. XD

I hear it’s prone to Rust.

You can just hear it as kitty wedges into that pipe.

(PHOOMPF) … “MEooow?” :|

Seriously. Thank you. I’m legit worried at how I struggle to place events within years anymore… It all just… Happens. And then happened already.

I used to have a neat app on my phone that would play “Interdimensional Cable” bits, or just silence, over Spotify ads. It made it a lot more usable.

Their ad gets played, I don’t have to hear it screaming at me. Win/Win right?

To put it shortly: “Went public”.

Lol I don’t miss that at all either! Starting up a game was some buffet-pick of:

• NVIDIA - the way it’s meant to be played.

• ATI

• HAVOK engine.

• F-Mod

• BINK video

• EA GAMES - (challenge everything)

• Ubisoft purple tunnel video clip

• “This game might cause seizures BTW ask ur doctor idk.”

• “Graffiti is art but it’s a crime we didn’t make you do it.” (JSRF lol)

• NOW LOADING. . . . . . . . .

• FINALLY. Start menu.

And I remember clicking around and hitting ESC or the controller buttons in vain just out of sheer wishfulness. XD

This reminds me of my X-BOX for real. Absolutely amazing console. (I still miss those “Duke” controllers).

But the most common disc reader was terrible. Over time games would just stop reading. Halo: Combat Evolved, I kid-you-not, would start to load…and then load BACKWARDS, usually (but not always!) resulting in “Problems reading disc.”

Me and my co-op friend would be cheering it on like it was going for a touchdown LOL.

Crimson Skies too, I remember. I took great care of my discs but I guess the drive would just scuff them up over time.
