My wife has this meme for when someone tries to shame her for me liking to play video games and build Legos/Gundam models.
Holy fucking cringe

Proof? Not that I'm saying you're wrong, I'm just not familiar with this lady at all so would like to know more.

Skype was shut down for good today

MSN Messenger was brilliant. At the time I used it, everyone I knew used it. It was the go-to for communication.

They're not on about the kids answer. They're talking about the teacher saying Luis ate more. How? It literally says in the question Marty ate more.

A postal worker in Harlem attacked a trans woman. She fought back and fatally stabbed him in self-defense. This is how the NY Post framed it.

What people are trying to say, and that is clearly going way over your head, is that this was NOT self defense.

They need to scrap all this shit and take a massive step back and start over. Absolute bollocks.

I couldn't get my head round this at all. Everyone used Skype where I worked, and it seemed hugely popular. By the time COVID happened, I was in another job, and all of a sudden everyone was going mad about this Zoom program. I'd never heard of it, but it just came out of nowhere and everyone on the planet was using it. How on earth Skype fumbled it so hard is absolutely staggering.

Which movie do you feel has the most wasted potential?

It still absolutely baffles me that they bought the franchise for so much money, yet couldn't even come up with a coherent story for the trilogy. Absolute tragedy.

I honestly agree here. Better to suggest a specific distro than just saying "use Linux".

What’s the strangest thing that’s ever happened to you that you still can’t explain?
In 2008, I was lying in bed watching some of the US presidential election on TV. I had no real interest in politics and am not from the US, but it was just something to put on while I fell asleep.
I dozed off then woke up in the middle of the night, and I vividly remember hearing these words come from the TV: "John McCain is the next President of the United States." There was a picture of him on the TV and I think there were some results underneath which showed the votes. Not really caring either way, I turned the TV off and went back to sleep.
When I woke up the next day and went to college, I was absolutely fucking shocked when people were talking about Obama winning. I checked several news sites and they all confirmed Obama had won.
It genuinely feels like I slipped into some alternate reality or some shit because I can remember that line so strongly, and I'm absolutely certain that what I saw on the TV was that John McCain had won.
Could be down to me waking up and possibly being half asleep, but it felt more real than that. It's so weird.

Who owns the boats?
My family had a boat quite a few years back. Not a massive one, probably cost ten grand or something. People don't need to be absolutely loaded to own a boat.

I remember asking this in a Discord server (ugh) a couple of years ago. The response? "Can you please refrain from asking such personal questions in this server."
I miss the old days. Also fuck Discord.

Funny thing is, Digg is coming back and it would be hilarious if redditors jumped ship back to it.
