I know a few Jacks (and a Jaques and 2 Jacobs) and, according to that wiki page, my experience is typical.

God damn, it’s been a while since I’ve crossed paths with an honest-to-god rube! Keep on keepin’ on, you flickering bulb.

Not every method of viewing Lemmy shows things like that… all I see is “muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee,” no flags or whatever. Thankfully, I have a good memory - so I’ll be able to remember that you’re an international twat.

Is your skin this thin in real life, or only online?

I’d hazard a guess that they’re just taking pity on you for not having an older fridge. Many appliances made 25+ years ago are still working just fine, perhaps with a bit of maintenance, but nothing made in this century is built to last.

My mom’s fridge is over 30 years old, as are her washer and dryer, and all three are just chugging along like champs. My refrigerator is just about 25 years old and the only thing wrong with it is the gasket on the lower door needs to be replaced soon.

I live on an island in the Atlantic. There’s this beach cottage nestled in the dunes along the southern shore, and it’s been there for over a hundred years. The wealthy family that owns it no longer lives on the island, but they love the space and don’t want it to fall into ruin so they’ve had a series of caretakers for the past thirty years or so. The position is unpaid, BUT it comes with the freedom to use the property year-round. I was the caretaker for fifteen years, and a few years back passed the title down to a friend (so I can still visit.) It’s one of the most magical places on Earth, and every time I’m there it’s like my health and mana bars get refilled.

What you think about them, they think about you.

True, but irrelevant.

They’re not evil, they’re not idiots.

Hard disagree - they have to be at least one of those things to be MAGA, usually both.

If they lived nextdoor you would probably find each other very pleasant.

Hah! They DO live next door and I most certainly don’t find them pleasant.

Maybe I’m just not quite awake yet and am missing the joke… but did you seriously miss the fact that “Snrub” is just “Burns” in reverse?

Well, it’s been about twenty years and I haven’t gone back to the cubicle farm!

I used to be a programmer, but I got sick of the whole corporate scene. Now I build and maintain houses - and my hands are dirty a good amount of the time!

[…] the South Americans coming up in one of the caravans who were given free food and shelter by the Mexican government and they complained that they didn’t like the food and threw it away.

Ok, I’m going to level with you: that sounds like 100% bullshit rage bait - did you hear it on AM radio in flyover country? Do you have any source of this tale at all?

• YouTube Premium, because I listen to a ton of music but I also like listening to dorkier deep-dive video channels.
• Disney+ w/ Hulu because I am a raging Marvel fanboy and like to be able to keep up with shows like Simpsons/Family Guy/Bob’s Burgers.
• Office 365. This is the most likely to get canceled at some point. I used to need Office for work, but now I mostly use the Notes app and Excel on my phone… and the 1 TB of OneDrive storage isn’t as great a deal as it once was.

I’m in this picture and it’s making me so soul-crushingly nostalgic that I’m gonna log off and go to bed.

IMO, this is the most rational stance to have, regarding sportsball.

The only thing atheists should stop doing is tolerating the nonsense of the religidiots.

Hear hear!

Not just fully trained, but at the top of his field and possessing an MD and a PhD! He should be at the far right edge!

Fucking legend. Thanks for the direct link and for (unintentionally) reminding me that it was time to change my PayPal password!

Steaming hot.

Like a freshly laid turd.

That’s good to know, thanks!
