Roblox was a mistake. Someone go back in the ol time machine and eliminate it before it gets big enough to fight back.

This is how I feel about not paying rent to kill the landlord industry.

He said what he said.

Yes, but did you watch it when it was new? Or (in my case) when the VHS was new?

Grandpa, you just killed 4 people while you made this comment. Keep your eyes on the road!

It is can’t because this is how the door gets pushed open to making more and more paid versions of the operating system.

This invites more capitalistic practices into the “market”, and is what starts the downward trend.

I’m ok with selling software. But selling the OS at all just seems like a big step that should never be taken.

Selling a paid upgrade is kind of a gray area, but it should be an extra piece that gets installed separately, cross-compatible where possible, and shouldn’t affect your ability to upgrade versions for damn sure. I’ve never dealt with it directly, but if it’s like you said and you need to do a complete reinstall to upgrade versions but downgrade from pro to regular, then you’ve already detected the first tumor.

Yeah the entire existence of any “pro” version of anything is cancer.

Better question is “would the son have voted for Trump?”. Then laugh at him if he would have, but not until then.

As it stands, the better take is not to laugh at him, but to laugh and fully enjoy the parents’ pain about the situation. Savor it.

My parents did not for him, and I will probably smear it in their face immediately if it ever directly affects them. But we’re white, fully naturalized people who live in a red area, so it will probably take a while. I only voted red once, right after becoming old enough and before I started to break free if the super tight bubble they kept me in.

But they never had a clue until this election, and they were shocked.

They usually like to nitpick with me now over bits of news that they think sounds good for them or bad for me. Now after these 100 days, they haven’t said a peep.

I don’t bring it up much because for the time being I have to depend on them due to medical issues. But I should be ready to get back out within 2 years and I will not be quiet then.

It wasn’t meant as a judgement. Just a different way of phrasing how it’s typically used, or generally used. I guess it does kinda sound judgy, tho.

I was raised in a very red place and I am still finding pieces of it left behind after leaving it. In this case, word choice. I really didn’t mean it as any kind of insult or anything, but I really did mean “should” as in “typically”, not “ought to”.

Thanks for the answer. Most boomers I’ve ever known wouldn’t even ask, so I guess I’m still not as bad as them 😅

I am “Internet old” tho.

Honest question.

I have never heard of (or seen) wearing a belt underneath wear your shirt would cover, and on top of that, not wearing one where it should go.

Am I a boomer, or what is happening? Is this some kinda trend now?

Help me understand.

Lmao

This isn’t meeting the level of importance for me.

If your posting a message that has any importance at all, at least pretend to try to fix your before sending it.

“try, Linux”

“working closing”

I mean come on.

There’s more but you get the point.

We could use more of this feeling.

That’s a sad sentence. I feel sad typing it. I feel sad reflecting on the truth of it. I feel sad every second that I don’t see breaking news of Trump’s (and musk, and (insert every currently elected Republican name here) brutality-record-setting tortuous death.

I wish he could die more than once, just so different kind of pain could be inflicted on him each time.

So yeah, any of you out there that feel this way, please take a trump with you. Take an RFK with you. Take a Boebert with you. Something like that, take at least one.

Are you still cis bro? You might be a sis.

The middle in my ass

Maybe “The middle of my ass” would flow better

And as I replied to another, I learned that today based on the wording of their reply.

So that’s a new thing I know now. I still don’t think “they” is binary though. It’s is kinda the star example of non-binary.

But I guess I did exclude a pronoun that I didn’t know existed. I thought the word was specifically calling the cat an object, so now I know better. It wasn’t intentional, and definitely not meant that way (as in not meant to force or exclude, aka discriminate).

You know what…

I went and looked this up because of this comment. I had never heard of “it” being used like that.

I’ve only ever heard it being used to specify something specifically as a non-person, or more generally a “being”. So I thought it was literally defining it as a non-being.

So TIL. I wasn’t trying to be prejudiced, I have literally never heard of “it” being anything other than specifically a non-living object.

So thanks for the chance to learn something interesting today.

Fair. This whole thread is unpopular opinions, so it’s kinda natural for most people to disagree with each other.

Thread participation achieved. I’m not even mad. (งツ)ว

What an even more peculiar downvote amount. Even if you (the arbitrary you, not necessarily you in particular) don’t think they’re worthy of being considered beings, it’s not like I said anything offensive or off-topic.

Maybe.

Either way, I am confused about how standing up for cats while literally commenting on /c/cats would be downvoted so hard.

I’m still wondering why everyone got so mad in 3 words, when I was betting nice to a cat!

I wasn’t even mean to the guy I was replying to.

Unless I’m missing some kind of context here (and that would be really oddly specific), this is beneath reddit intelligence.

Not that it deserved upvotes either, it was just a remark that I totally forgot about until I got the reply notification. Lemmy should be better than this.
