30yo kind of have their lives together.

Have a coffee. Just chat like people. Expand your network. The worse that can happen is you shut it down.

From my own perspective, there will be a generational gap. I’m 40, and I can connect with someone around that age. But lower than 30 or older than 45, the connection is platonic.

That’s hilarious.

This is a guy who has literal body doubles.

He’s a fucking coward and doesn’t even trust people in the same room as him.

brand new X-wing or lightsaber or landspeeder isn’t all that different from one that was built 50 or even 100s of years ago.

If you want to get extremely weird… The Old Republic takes place 3600 years before the original trilogy.

Tech is mostly the same.

Compared to 3600 years in reality, we went from pooping in a hole to pooping into a magic toilet that sings you songs while spraying you with water.

Or… Here me out, don’t do that.

By giving them money, from their perspective, you’ve accepted their t&c. If they get data or not, that’s just icing on the cake.

Cherry pick and move the goal post.

For example:

University-level essays? You know for-profit universities exist, right? If you don’t have a masters degree on the subject, then you have no right to speak on the topic.

How does it compare with chocolatey?

Ive been using that for years and this is my first time learning of winget.

Same. But not like anything popular/visible.

I found it while sorting by controversial. Then when I got banned for some BS, decided to finally figure this whole “Lemmy” thing out.

Like what? You got some examples?

It’s wiki entries like this that clearly label it as a hoax which is why Republicans think Wikipedia is woke.

Best we can do is take away hypothetical litter boxes in school.

Absolutely. Any vague language has a way of being misinterpreted by the most fanatical and used for evil.

For some reason, I thought that was 4 choices.

And you were passing on the lizard head, and the man wearing a lizard costume.

But that bee…

You can host your own WordPress. It’s open-source software.

And there’s hundreds of hosts who provide WordPress as a software so, while they upsell/can throttle, make money off you providing hosting services, not because you’re using WordPress.

Feel like Im missing a lot of context.

On one end: this reminds me of the anime, Frieren. She talks about how demons learn to use human words to survive. Like a demon would cry “mother” because it knows humans will hesitate, even though demons don’t know what it means. It’s like a magic spell.

On the other end: the Animatrix has a scene where humans crush robots because they’re “not” human, even though AI robots tried their best to coexist peacefully.

Went out with my cousin who is 5’ 4". He buys pants at the kid section.

I tried to poke fun at him and this short king eviscerated me how I had to pay a “Height tax” since his clothes are durable and cheaper.

Good on you! Usenet has been around for DECADES.

I don’t have a guide that’s modern. I’m just remembering how I used to connect in the 90s-2000s.

Covid was a glimpse.

I had coworkers who left small towns because they were Asian. Imagine being Filipino and having racists shout Chinaflu at you. Every single Asian person I met has a story.

I also had a friend disown their parents because they harassed a Thai family all during covid, calling them child smugglers. I’ve met these people, and they were perfectly wonderful 15 years ago. Just oblivious racists.
