I know a few Jacks (and a Jaques and 2 Jacobs) and, according to that wiki page, my experience is typical.

Not every method of viewing Lemmy shows things like that… all I see is “muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee,” no flags or whatever. Thankfully, I have a good memory - so I’ll be able to remember that you’re an international twat.

Is your skin this thin in real life, or only online?

I’d hazard a guess that they’re just taking pity on you for not having an older fridge. Many appliances made 25+ years ago are still working just fine, perhaps with a bit of maintenance, but nothing made in this century is built to last.

My mom’s fridge is over 30 years old, as are her washer and dryer, and all three are just chugging along like champs. My refrigerator is just about 25 years old and the only thing wrong with it is the gasket on the lower door needs to be replaced soon.

I live on an island in the Atlantic. There’s this beach cottage nestled in the dunes along the southern shore, and it’s been there for over a hundred years. The wealthy family that owns it no longer lives on the island, but they love the space and don’t want it to fall into ruin so they’ve had a series of caretakers for the past thirty years or so. The position is unpaid, BUT it comes with the freedom to use the property year-round. I was the caretaker for fifteen years, and a few years back passed the title down to a friend (so I can still visit.) It’s one of the most magical places on Earth, and every time I’m there it’s like my health and mana bars get refilled.

What you think about them, they think about you.

True, but irrelevant.

They’re not evil, they’re not idiots.

Hard disagree - they have to be at least one of those things to be MAGA, usually both.

If they lived nextdoor you would probably find each other very pleasant.

Hah! They DO live next door and I most certainly don’t find them pleasant.

Maybe I’m just not quite awake yet and am missing the joke… but did you seriously miss the fact that “Snrub” is just “Burns” in reverse?

Well, it’s been about twenty years and I haven’t gone back to the cubicle farm!

I used to be a programmer, but I got sick of the whole corporate scene. Now I build and maintain houses - and my hands are dirty a good amount of the time!

• YouTube Premium, because I listen to a ton of music but I also like listening to dorkier deep-dive video channels.
• Disney+ w/ Hulu because I am a raging Marvel fanboy and like to be able to keep up with shows like Simpsons/Family Guy/Bob’s Burgers.
• Office 365. This is the most likely to get canceled at some point. I used to need Office for work, but now I mostly use the Notes app and Excel on my phone… and the 1 TB of OneDrive storage isn’t as great a deal as it once was.

IMO, this is the most rational stance to have, regarding sportsball.

The only thing atheists should stop doing is tolerating the nonsense of the religidiots.

precisely.

Playing Jedi: Fallen Order at the moment, and I’m not so much “stuck” as I was too busy to game for a few weeks and, now that I’m back to a more typical amount of free time, I still haven’t picked it back up.

very SFW but it gets a lot of downvotes because it’s gratuitous gay content

I just need to know: what is gratuitous gay content?

IMO, content that is SFW should not be gratuitously sexual in ANY way - gay, straight, furry, w/e - none of it is work appropriate.

NGL, I tried to join so I could wait for such a post to finally appear… I ate the onion.

I know the franchise has been on shaky ground lately, but I really think everyone should watch the Infinity Saga, in order, at least once. 23 movies that tell one vast over-arching story, featuring some of the best god-damn superhero casting ever seen.

I’m not gonna rewatch it right now, but IIRC there’s either a mid- or post-credit scene wherein the decapitated head opens its eyes and looks at the camera. Cutting his head off would not kill Deadpool, for crying out loud!
