I have to confess: I associate the word solely with an ASOIAF fan podcast, and for that reason it cracks me up every single time I see it.

Upvoted solely for the word gormless.

Me using my phone on the bus after a hard day, knowing I don’t have to pay attention to shit on the road: 😌

Nah man, those stupid ass single parents working multiple jobs need to get their priorities straight! /s

I live in LA, and it’s not constant, but once a month or so I’ll see some dude driving a car with an anime titties wrap on it. Why, man? Do you let your parents see that car? You drive that car to the grocery store? I’m assuming that at least dropping the kids off at school in it isn’t something that’s happening for the majority of them…

Oh yeah, cobra was a nightmare, I was on that for a few months and I think it was something like $500/month? Which was absolutely bonkers in mid 00s dollars. Staying on the insurance while in college without paying for cobra was a perk that my dad’s job offered, so it was cheaper for me to be in college than not if I wanted healthcare.

Anyone else remember before the ACA when it was 18 and some insurances would let you stay on an additional 4 years if you were in college? That was a driving factor in me going to college when I wasn’t ready and burning the fuck out. At least it was a public school and I didn’t have any debt.

I don’t see anything in the image or FB post that mentions an International Space Agency?

Or the bugs they already willingly eat (cochineal).

You can’t really look at the ones that didn’t hold.

Thank you!

I’m fairly ignorant about Linux and what goes on under the hood, so the majority of the text doesn’t mean anything to me.

As someone planning to install Linux Mint who also doesn’t want to accidentally dox myself with a screenshot, could I get an explanation from someone on what is censored out and why?

Thanks, ‘bendito seas’ was a new one to me and I was having to do some guesswork!

Rough translation:

Linux Mint: thanks to Steam and Proton I can run Windows games with more FPS. Gabe Newell, you are blessed!

Windows: the Microsoft telemetry ate the RAM, I can’t give so much FPS

That’s definitely a decent chunk of what people in the media who talk about the ‘male loneliness epidemic’ are talking about, though. I don’t think I’ve read a single article about it that doesn’t devote time to how little sex young men allegedly aren’t having.

You can be white and Hispanic! Probably less likely to be named Kyle in that case, I’ll grant you.

That’s why I like it! Plum wine is also my favorite wine.

Yeah, the ones I saw didn’t have a fully enclosed interior like a normal vehicle. Definitely not what I’d want to be in during a downpour.

You RTFM to have a sense of superiority over those that don’t

I RTFM to avoid having to talk to another person

We are not the same

I’ve legitimately seen a few (with a single back wheel) here in LA. I wouldn’t take it on a highway, but they seem alright. Like a juiced up golf cart you can drive on the street, or maybe a hobbled dune buggy.
