I would like to represent those of us who use Word everyday and either kinda like it, or just don't give a shieeeet

I was hoping it would get better or continue to grow, I thought the casting was near perfect too.

why can't they make a damned 'good' movie franchise with that!?

Shedding my flesh for immortal powers over my undead companions

Thank you for that. I was young once 😭

I saw the video he made on tik tok last night before it was removed. Fucking brutal. But the guy pointing the gun at him was frozen. I've seen it before and it's happened to me. The brain just shuts the fuck off. System overload. He'll have the memory of that horrifying moment right along side the memory of the failure of his own mind and body completely failing him, forever. People were shouting "we need fire extinguishers not guns" but the guy just couldn't do anything, even after the guy had collapsed and the fire was put out, he was still locked in place aiming his pistol at the body.

The Airman who self immolated could have spent the rest of his life trying to make a difference for Palestinians, now he can never help, and he'll be forgotten in a couple of weeks of the news cycle. If anyone ever feels the need to do something, help, don't hurt. Hurt never helps.

He's reportedly dead now.

Party of limited government my ass. They just don't want rules that prevent them from telling the peasants what to do. Stay in line peasants.

I find myself commenting a lot more here. It's more conversational than reddit. Comments are longer and not just one liner's, and the smaller community means my comments won't be buried. It also feels like a gateway drug to posting. I should post something today. I won't, but I should.

I'm in witness protection. Turns out not all girls are made of just sugar and spice.

With things heating up in Israel, and AI showing, my boss thinks it a definite sign of the end times. He was convinced that the riots were a sign, now he's all in on the rapture coming.

Fair point. I hadn't thought of it that way.

"I'm good at multitasking" is just another way of saying you can't focus on one thing at a 🐿️ SQUIRREL!

Wasn't there a ship, or two, that had to escape into deep space for like, a long long time?

Beside the Kennedy School of Driver's Education

I was thinking about this just yesterday. After watching Frankie's cultural observation on boomers, where he says that "boomers are the first generation in history that wanted to do better than their children", I asked myself what have us millennials done. I settled on this, we broke the generational cycle of abuse and bullying of our kids. The boomers parents, while the "greatest" generation, were raised by an even stricter generation of parents who believed in things like not picking up a crying baby, and probably resulted in Boomer parents that, thanks to WW2, were also an untreated PTSD generation. Alcoholism was just dad's being dad's and pre ww2 moms stayed home to keep home and hearth with a little help from the snuff tin. Several generations of war torn parents ignorant of how to deal with what they went through, raising more kids for the next war. From the civil war to Vietnam, every generation had a war or two on their plate. Then our small communities were randomly spread out into suburban experiments to support the industrial revolution. Now no one knows their neighbor, they just go to work. Then the millennials were sent to war. We had heard the stories growing up about how great our nations fighting forces were. Now it was our turn. We had the most righteous of reasons to fight. But this time, when looking to the boomers to lead us, we found a bunch of disfunctional brats. Their maturity was a ruse. They didn't know any better than we did on how to deal with this world. Their parents won the great war, setup the economy, spanked them, never hugged them, and then handed them the keys to the company and retired to Florida. So the bratty boomers without a clue bullied their kids out the door and into the world. There we stood, 18 and primed to take it on. But there was nothing left to take. Then the bubble they blew popped and we shipped out to Afghanistan, and then Iraq, and even after 20 years we still had nothing to show for it. No house, no good paying job, no health care, and a degree with the weight of never ending debt chained to it. The boomers are and always have been, brats. You see them out there on their Harley's brrrraaaaatttting around. So when we started having kids, we said no. No we're not going to beat our kids, no we're not going to shame them for who they love, no we're not going to "be a man" and shut up about our war trauma. But the brats still had all the power. They refused to let go of their toy. So we put ourselves to work on trying to fix the only thing we had the power to fix, ourselves. We started normalizing therapy, researching drug and alcohol addiction. We dug into the data. We acted like adults, we admitted we have a problem and we did the rigorous and SCIENTIFIC work of finding the solutions. We broke the cycle. We've really earnestly tried to raise thoughtful, honest about themselves, proud adults who ask why. We didn't ignore them, we answered them honestly, we admitted there's a problem. But we don't have enough time to set it right in our life time. The brats won't let go. We need Gen Z to carry the torch forward. Question everything, do the hard work, admit when you were wrong, be willing to change your mind when new data is discovered. I'm proud of these kids. I want them to do better than us. We got your back kid.

Then the toothbrush, washing machine, thermostat, sous vide circulator, and butt plug start a podcast, "Plugged In"

Make it a good one. Then tell me about it, because I know I'll never find it on the play store.

If they can negotiate on foreign policy and domestic policy, then they can work it.

I know barely anything about programming languages and only ask as a fan, what are the real world usages of languages and what are their practical, pragmatic, or ideological measures that they are used for?
