MrJameGumb, in I was around during the stone age of the internet

The main thing I remember about AOL way back when is that you only got a certain amount of hours to use it per month and if you went over they started charging extra

dumdum666,

In addition to that you had to pay for the dialup itself too…

mindbleach,

And if your local number was busy and you dialed another, it could cost a metric shitload of money, because long-distance was apparently transmitted on the finest golden threads honed by fifth-generation artisans.

One of the weirdest generational gaps we almost never talk about is how we got to ‘of course you can talk to anyone anytime’ immediately after decades of ‘hey you wanna meet up for a burger?’ costing more than the burger.

I’ve had it. It’s pretty tasty.

Ranks among the best of cheap highs, topped only by very cold or very hot showers, sleep or recreation, experiencing a beautiful piece of art or wonder of nature, eating spicy or sour things, sneezing or getting rocks off, huffing spraypaint or guerilla glue, and engaging in meditation or hypnosis. Get high on life is what i always say when I’m drunk or out of weed. My body is my temple.

datelmd5sum,

I once stood up and chugged some carbonated water and suddenly felt “oh shit am I about to die right now?” but I just needed to sit down and burp.

Funfact to tell the haters(since I assume few if any are here): The gays are not doing this to Disney. Disney is doing this to the gays, they make 17 first openly this or that kind of queerness because they want the gay peoples money.

@c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world avatar

That’s the point of the meme, I thought?

Like… we know you’re just pandering, Disney.

agitatedpotato,

Yeah, and maybe its just me, but I had never though before this meme to phrase my thoughts about it the way I did, and I like the way it explains where the ‘action’ is coming from very plainly, since I hear opponents of representation claim that it works in reverse and somehow the gays are forcing media conglomerates to bend to their will, instead of the media conglomerates putting out whatever extracts the most cash. Like I don’t expect the right leaners I know to understand and agree with this comment I’m typing, but I really feel like I could get somewhere if I phrased it like in the one you replied to. Of course not everyone can be moved in the first place, but its the idea I get from my experiences with them.

They will then counter this with "Well if they just shut up and minded their own business instead of telling everybody all about how much cock they suck, it wouldn't matter", completely missing the point that these folks have been minding their own business for centuries and regularly getting murdered for it, and also completely missing the extremely obvious parallels to Jim Crow and the civil rights movement (or maybe not, maybe that's why they hate it so much). It is their opinion that they shouldn't have to know you're gay, and that you should have to live in fear of revealing that fact for your entire lifetime. And that's just the crowd that doesn't believe that homosexuality is a direct affront to God and should be stamped out as a moral imperative.

I've had this conversation before a few times, it always comes back around to the same points. Conservatives become extremely unconformable with the knowledge that The Gays(R) exist and typically wield misunderstood Bible quotation in defense of that. Those who don't, will resort to the argument that they shouldn't have to have it "thrust into their faces", as though the knowledge that gay folks exist is some great personal burden to them. They will happily tell people to "mind their own business" and "keep it to yourself" so long as their lungs have air with which to speak, but when told themselves to mind their own damn business, suddenly this is unacceptable.

@lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world avatar

I still keep my Hotmail/Yahoo/etc., but I’ve gotten my name as a domain and use that for professional communication.

It has catch-all support, so whether you send an email to hi@name.com or “XxX_360noscopegamer_xXx@name.com”, I still receive it.

funkless_eck,

I do the same. And if someone abuses a particular alias I block it.

Misconduct,

Wait, so you can just willy-nilly name emails for your domain for different online services and see who’s selling your data pretty easily then right?

I mean… who isn’t selling our data but still lol

Flumsy,

Exactly and then you can block that one addressband you dont get spam anymore. You can make the addresses up as you go btw, it will receive every email sent to your domain anywaya

Misconduct,

That’s actually really cool! I’ve been actively degoogling this year but my email is one of the last holdouts so I’ll have to look into this

max,

Another advantage of having your own domain for email is that you can just pack your shit and move to greener pastures when your current email provider turns to shit. No need to change your email everywhere.

Illecors,

Yes! I’ve literally found out about a data leak this way before it was announced publicly.

Misconduct,

That’s neat

berkersal,

I just set that up. Pretty useful

nouben, in Let 'em COOK!

For normal people like me : 83F is 28°c

baseless_discourse, (edited )

Originally I thought it was talking about age. Then I realize there is an entire country that uses the wrong unit.

vaultdweller013,

Its not the wrong unit, we just forgot how to update it and its working well enough. Also bite me I dont want to deal with decimals to know the tempeture on a more accurate level.

baseless_discourse, (edited )

I dont know anyone who uses decimal when they use celsius, and almost everyone I know uses celsius.

.3 degree is not going to change anything, just like you wouldn’t put on your jacket just because the temperature lowers half a fahrenheit.

vaultdweller013,

Well my cars Celsius setting certainly does. Fucking things weird though so IDK.

baseless_discourse,

I also realized my american appliance do this same when I try to set them to celsius (nest etc). I guess that is where this unfortunate misconception comes from.

paultimate14,

Various groups in the US have tried to convert and it failed because… There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the current system and very, very little to be gained by switching.

Also if the US actually switched, what would all the people who comment and complain about it on the Internet do with all of that free time? Get a hobby? Or start lobbying the whole world to switch to Kelvin?

GlitterInfection,

F******** you c******s.

jagungal, in Let 'em COOK!

It’s Spring here in Australia and instead of the nice spring weather it’s gone straight to summer weather (including fires). We’re so fucked

cm0002,

Instantly recognized the pic lol I wonder if RL is still making new ones?

Broken_Monitor,

He is. The guy has published an absolutely preposterous number of books and has at least one out this year. They also did a Fear Street netflix series somewhat recently, last year I think.

GlitterInfection,

The Fear Street movies are also really solid horror!

Mr_Buscemi,
@Mr_Buscemi@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

That was a great film trilogy. Definitely on my list for stuff to watch again this month

Touching_Grass,

I had no idea those were RL. No wonder why I like them so much. One of the coolest things I saw come out of Netflix.

bestnerd,

I’m sorry what?! Well fuck, with those plus the new movie I gotta get caught up. Also, is the new movie Goosebumps RL?

E: it is based on Goosebumps by our spooky bed time boi.

Case, (edited )

Was that based on a more adult (but still young) reading level? The name sounds familiar and I grew up on RL Stine until I found the deluge of books set in the forgotten realms (Dungeons and Dragons setting, for clarity, not written by Stine)

GlitterInfection,

That’s correct. It’s from his teen-level horror books.

pete_the_cat,

What other open gay characters have been in Disney movies?

agitatedpotato,

out.com/…/disneys-first-out-lgbtq-gay-characters#…

I thought seven was blowing it out of proportion so I looked it up, and I think I was wrong in my initial thought.

TORFdot0,

Didn’t buzz lightyear and onward (the Chris Pratt Pixar movie) have gay background characters?

Star Wars had a gay background character. That’s all I can think of.

JackbyDev,

I feel like part of this is that so many of the “openly gay characters” have been either not so open, extremely in the background, or even debatably gay that each new threshold feels like a “victory” or something.

Son_of_dad,

Don’t forget characters that painted gay people in a bad light

Sleepy was gay

pimeys,

Not a movie, but The Owl House was quite gay…

ComicalMayhem,

Shame it got cancelled. One of my favorite shows

pimeys,

Mine too. Luckily we got Fionna and Cake last month. That one is really good too.

la508,

There’s a bit in Frozen where some bloke they meet introduces his family and it’s another fella and their kids.

Amazon be like

SnipingNinja,

That’s a river, not Ocean

FinalRemix,

Nah, Amazon just disables tracking altogether as soon as it’s running late.

Speculater,
@Speculater@lemmy.world avatar

People might think you’re joking, but they literally just did that to me last month.

neshura,
@neshura@bookwormstory.social avatar

Had a unicorn moment a while back. Ordered an SSD and for whatever reason the seller didn’t use detailed tracking but only the basic “has been delivered” one. Amazon status turns from “Expected today” to “running late”, thing is: the package was there (letter sized, hence no accurate tracking info… on a 100€ package) tracking status did NOT update so I just got the money refunded, while still getting the ssd. I was tempted to try my luck again but ultimately decided not to.

grue,

Welp, that’ll teach the seller not to use the cheap shipping.

gnurd,

Happened to me yesterday. One day shipping of course. I was super excited for it, now it’s supposed to arrive between 3:30 and 7:30, lame. I guess it’s good I finally got an update.

Edit: Now 4:15 to 8:15, of course.
