People over 80 don’t have as much of a stake in the future. Maybe they should lose the vote?

More like “Dammit, my domain auto-remewed again. Oh well, it’s only $12. I’ll cancel next year.” (It’s been 5 years.)
Terrorism is an inchoate concept. History is written by the victors. American terrorists dumped tea in Boston Harbor, but they were freedom fighters and revolutionaries because they prevailed. On the flip side, Israel killed a terrorist. How do I know they were a terrorist? Because Israel wouldn’t have killed them otherwise.
Overall, other responders have good answers - equal rights, freedoms, and opportunities. Plenty of bread and circuses. I can’t be motivated to be a terrorist because I would sacrifice too much changing the status quo.
Gvim. I even write documents in it and then paste them into Word for final formatting.
When bitcoin first came out I looked into out of academic curiosity. I owned a high end video card. I never bothered mining because “I don’t have any desire to buy drugs on silkroad.”
Unless you work a trade, I would go with Harbor Freight for everything except cordless tools. If you wear the Harbor Freight tool out replace it with something higher quality. For cordless, I don’t know. I have Dewalt and wonder about others. I mostly avoid cordless now.
For trades, see what your coworkers are using. Do you want them borrowing your batteries? (No) Do you want to borrow theirs? (Do you want them to dislike you?)
It had misogyny and racism to push it over the top for worst game. ET was just an unplayable mess that disappointed kids my age. Custer’s Revenge is a borderline hate crime that should have gotten everyone involved fired.
I’m not saying there is no reason to be depressed. I’m just saying there is nothing that can be done, so focus on things that make you happy - like dead billionaires trying to visit the Titanic.
Schadenfreude. Learn to take pleasure in things like massive increases in risk making insurance unaffordable for conservative fuckheads in places like Florida. A fancy beach house on Cape Hatteras just fell into the ocean (creating a wave of nasty pollution).
Climate chaos is coming for all of us, and we have done basically nothing to avert it (lots of lip service). 2023 set the record for carbon emissions, at least until 2024 is in the books.
All that is left is to watch the ensuing horrors and enjoy our comeuppance.
Members of Congress trading individual stocks, bonds, and other investments.
Negative 20 is in fact less than five and twenty, so I think you are both technically correct.
Separate apps for various retail stores. I don’t want a home depot app. I don’t want a kroger app. We have a generic app for this category called a web browser. If you want me to download a specialized app for your store, I assume that means that my browser does not sufficiently breach my privacy for your “business purposes.”
I am using CentOS 9 in WSL. I don’t particularly care what distribution I use because I mostly using a bash shell as a software development environment. I prefer apt to flat packs and use ubuntu 20 on an embedded system that I write code for at work. I keep wanting to get more experience with KDE and gnome, but I haven’t been good about using my free time to mess with OS. As long as I have vim and a prompt that uses vi input, I am pretty content. (Does this make me sound old? The kids at work have trouble following what I am doing when we pair program.)
Don’t forget Bigfoot, the rake, and skin walkers.
Doom scrolling on my phone.
The Joycons were an absolute disaster and ruined the portable experience. I got 4 of them repaired. When they inevitably broke again, I gave up and bought a pro controller. Precariously balancing the Switch on your lap or setting it on furniture so you can use a pro controller is not a handheld. Still had lots of fun with the games on it, but the experience should have been better. Nintendo has building controllers for decades, you would think they could at least begin to approach competency.
I do dumb things like edit my network configuration do some stuff and log out. Then I can’t login the next weekend because the IP address is wrong. Also:
Ifconfig eth0 down
And I am booted from ssh.
I rented a Pontiac Matiz in Mexico in the late 90s or early 2000s. Small, underpowered, uncomfortable and just didn’t feel very safe. I normally like little cars, but not that one. The air conditioner struggled to keep up with the August heat too.
When you buy your first model. That event represents your transition from “I’m interested in Warhammer” to “I collect Warhammer.”
Hey! That’s my IP address whenever the script kiddies are boasting in chat. How did he get it?
