My old man was like this. It always felt awkward though because he made more money than a lot of my classmate’s parents combined but it didn’t show because he spent it so quickly. We rationalize it a lot by thinking about how he grew up in extreme poverty. That said, he stroked out when I was a teenager and there was nothing to fall back on afterwards.
Says the dude actively using twitter. GTFOO of twitter people.
Centralization sucks. I know a lot of people who are currently dropping BlueSky and migrating back to Twitter because it was just too much of a loss for them unfortunately.
Edit:
Can’t be bothered responding to each post individually so I’ll put this here.
First off. Mastadon isn’t that great of an experience. There’s a reason it’s not even at half the amount of users it started with. The devs don’t listen to feedback and at the current time attempting to get the average person on there is a struggle.
Second off. There are people who use twitter for professional purposes. There’s also a lot of companies that refuse to drop the platform which means people collaborating or coordinating with them end up using it for that purpose too. A lot of people and groups with large followings still find moving off the platform too risky. I’m not among those groups but you’re being a bit ignorant if you think they don’t exist or that they don’t matter.
Biden was was talking like someone with the grogginess just getting woken up in the middle of the night then smoking a joint right before coming on. (i.e. We’re fucked either way.)
As someone who doesn’t like giving Biden free passes just because he’s not Trump, I feel like I haven’t seen anyone mentioning the time limit set for responses during the debate. It clearly was not in his favor. Trump can talk your ear off about any nonsense he can dream of at a moments notice.
Biden has always had to take time to think. Look at his speeches, look at the times he responds to reporters. There’s always pauses and gaps between responses where he has to think.
I like ironing my clothes though and if you show up to a formal family event with a shirt that looks like you rolled around in it, then I will offer to iron for you before the next time.
If it’s not corporations then it’s PACs astroturfing. It’s nothing new.
ArchWiki makes it so much easier these days.
As long as you can get away with it.
I feel so bad for the teachers. This is just yet another thing they have to comply with to keep their jobs.
I started the series as a teenager and I’m not going to stop just because I’m older now.
That said I was also reading my parent’s books when I was younger too. I grew up on Dan Brown and Clive Cussler just as much as I grew up on Rick Riordan and Anthony Horowitz. I feel like my taste in books has only devolved as I’ve gotten older if anything.
Well, well, well if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions.
Yeah, I just snip the tips on the front ones usually. I’ve been doing it since he was little and while he doesn’t appreciate it he has never fought or clawed me in the process of it.
