He finally got his chores done so he can waste time with his friends!

Their parents didn’t hit them hard enough.

Okay, we’ll rename American football to Cricket.

How many moon landings have been done in metric?

Well you see, Americans called the game with goalies “soccer” because that’s what the British called it back when we were crown colonies, so when we invented the game with linebackers, we called that “football.” then everyone else heard our word and decided to change the game with goalies’ name to “football.” So as usual, America continues to be correct, and the rest of the world is bound and determined to fuck it up.

You know, I’ve got one of those who doesn’t have any power. His lack of hilariousness is at a maximum.

There will never be another general election in the United States.

So, do you remember back in like, 2004, when “feature phones” like the LG EnV or the Sidekick came out? It had a little more OS to it than a typical flip phone, they often had full keyboards, integration with intant messengers at the time, web browsers, etc? Some were more media focused and had mp3 oriented features, some were social machines for emailing and texting, some were more camera oriented, some more game oriented, you could get a phone that fit your interests.

Microsoft intended to shoulder into that market circa 2008. The year after the iPhone launched. It then took them two years and a billion dollars to develop. Through in-fighting with development of their OTHER mobile product, Windows Phone. And finally in 2010, the era of the iPhone 4, they released the Kin.

The Kin did not perform well, it was very mediocre hardware.

It had no app store or software library at all.

It couldn’t access several instant messengers that were popular at the time.

The few people who did buy one returned them.

It wasn’t Verizon’s fault that Microsoft pulled a Microsoft and poured tons of money into arriving at a trend too late to compete with an overpriced mediocre product.

It’s not compatible with newer motherboards. Anybody with the last couple generations of computers can’t use it.

I learned how to Linux on a Raspberry Pi. That is, in fact, what they’re for. I’ve got one (a Pi 2) that sits on my LAN with a hard drive attached as one part of my backup solution.

Hershey’s does not taste like shit.

It tastes like vomit. Get your facts straight.

It’s like DVDs. DVDs looked great in 2002, compared to VHS or even broadcast TV, your new 32 inch “big screen” never looked as good playing a DVD over S-video. That same DVD in that same player attached by HDMI to a 45 inch 4k LCD looks grainy and horrid.

I think you’ll find that community is exactly that. I forget which it is, I’ve long since blocked it.

They’re imagining the community (the subreddit) as a space one enters by navigating to the community’s main page, and “leaving” it is going to do other things.

A major difference I noticed with Lemmy from my time on Reddit is communities aren’t quite as rabid about strict adherence to their topic or gimmick. r/whatisthisthing banned me for seven days once for elaborating what an E6B flight computer is for. Because “This community is for IDENTIFYING the thing, not DISCUSSING the thing!” Not…so much of that around here.

I suspect getting pissed off is the point.

One of the rules of that community is “post before you leave.” People put “rule” in the post to indicate they’re complying with that rule.

Do NOT mention Nicole.

Wait, shi-

That’s a Tonk. Siamese and Tonkinese are just motor mouths.
