  • Yeah no, if you actually spend your life doing sports and eating well you don't look like that.

    As a counter example, Jackie Chan is in his 70s and looks like this:

    Another example, US Secretary of Defense who is still serving and only retired from the military in 2016 and has seen literal combat, and is 71:

    If you've wrecked your knees with only 10 years of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu it's likely because you started at a later age, and/or didn't start off really fit but rather got fit through it.

    Or have a predisposition to having weaker knees, such as being primarily of European ancestry (weaker joints + arthritis more likely in exchange for plague resistance).

    Old people don't magically become fat.

  • Wait, are you using multiple accounts to support your argument? The OP comment is under a different username but you just responded to that person as if you made that initial content presenting the data.

    And reminder that Lemmy shows edit history.

  • Debian didn't have a stable release until 1996... Even Slackware didn't shape up nicely until around 98 from what I remember. SLS gave it a GUI but wasn't well maintained. Linux wasn't really "good" until early 2000s at the very least.

    I just wanted to play Space Cadet Pinball or Commander Keen as a kid, not compile my programs.

    You're clearly talking about modern Linux.

  • Year 1: Eliminate Food and Water poverty.

    Year 2: Porn is legalized everywhere, and there's a world government official porn site that's always free. Free smartphones for everyone as well.

    Year 3: Universal Housing and sewage.

    Year 4: Sex work is legalized everywhere (this might be popular enough to coast you an extra year) and ensured to be safe for the sex workers.

    Year 5: Universal Child care

    Year 6: Drugs are legalized everywhere

    Year 7: Universal Elderly care (+ free healthcare for the USA weirdo country)

    Year 8: Universal Education and media translation to top 10 most spoken languages. Also the top media franchises of each existing country will be freely available online now as well in a "cultural digital vault".

    Year 9: Eliminate country borders, issue new universal passport, set up new cultural ethnic / geographical regions instead that exist only to help with political and business management. Begin 5 year disposable plastics phase out (medical exception though), eliminate plastics and pseudoplastics from foods and cosmetics, Worldwide public transportation system + Continental Hypertrain System project. Set up a world government that can only be compromised of elected STEM degree holders that have a job in their role, and bars anyone that has ever owned / owned a company or worked in any petroleum based industry. Esperanto is also more the official world government language, Linux and FOSS official world government software usage, and lawyers can now only work under the government for fixed rate. Everyone has access to a lawyer by right. These foundational laws cannot be changed.

    Also announce I have been contacted by extraterrestrial life, and was told they will greet us if we survive the great filter and set up solar system wide travel and infrastructure as a species. Oh, and limit wealth/assets to be no higher than 200 million euros equivalent (inflation adjusted) worth. There will be a new currency set up as well.

    Year 10: Announce I'm "retiring" from direct rule but will intervene if 57% of the world votes for me to enact something. Die probably. If the alien and world government gambit does pay off, maybe coast off previous popularity for a couple years and just have fun until summoned or dead.

  • And then there's 90s Linux because your parents got a used computer with a friend that came with only that and they didn't want to spend money buying windows 😢 it's like learning to swim by being yeeted into the ocean, with a couple sharks hanging around.

    At least 80s kids got assembly.

  • That's just inaccurate. 30 years ago is 1994. Even the N64 wasn't out yet.

    Edit: I see the confusion. It releases in Japan a few days before 95'. Always thought the N64 came out before the PlayStation

  • Why not nationalize all of the health insurance companies, fire all the executives, and turn it all into a public health insurance agency?

    Why not just have Russia end the war in Ukraine and Putin steps down and allows a real democracy to happen?

    ... Yeah, do you see the issue with your statements now?

  • Here you go, gen z* version:

    So, this one time, Jesus was walking through the village again, right? A kid ran up and accidentally bumped into him, like full-on shoulder check. Jesus was not having it and straight-up said, "You’re not gonna make it to wherever you're headed." Boom, the kid dropped dead. People who saw it were like, "Yo, who even is this kid? Everything he says actually happens!"

    The dead kid’s parents came for Joseph, all mad, saying, "Bruh, you can’t stay in this village if your kid’s out here cursing people and getting them killed. Like, teach him to chill and bless people or something!"

    So Joseph pulled Jesus aside, like, "Hey dude, why are you doing this? People are mad at us, and they’re gonna come for us!" But Jesus was like, "I know you didn’t come up with that yourself, but fine, I’ll let it slide for you. Still, these people? They’re gonna get what’s coming to them." And just like that, the people accusing him went blind.
