The poor go to war, to fight and die for the delights, riches, and superfluities of others.

– Plutarch

CE 45 - ~CE 119

This has literally been said by people for at least two millennia.

I know, but at least it’s honest about it and you don’t have to pay a fee to watch it.

Oh that’s right! I forgot he was in the reboot!

I can see that, but is it really worth running it as an OS other than for that specific use? Because if not, you can just run it in an emulator or on a partition when you need that.

Looks like the name is far more confusing than that. Apparently, ‘football’ used to mean multiple types of games, soccer started out as ‘association football,’ and then a British public school took ‘association’ and turned it into ‘asoccer,’ which spread to Oxford and became common there and then everyone else started calling it ‘soccer’ but then they dropped ‘soccer’ in favor of just ‘football’ except in countries which already had a football, which was sometimes the same as rugby.

it’s the kind of material that keep a monkey occupied.

And that’s what Ten Forward is for!

Jeez. I’m surrounded by kids. That’s the way we ate pudding in the 80s. And we liked it that way!

You don’t get that reference either, do you?

Sigh.

Okay there, Ron DeSantis…

Decades, true, but I still hope one day to see The Very Hungry Freddy Krueger.

I guess kids grow up now with like Goofy Frankenstein’s Monster, but yeah. It definitely sounds ridiculous to us.

Oh wow. I am clearly older than you because Thomas was something that I was way too old for by the time it came on TV and I had plenty of Carlin’s albums, but yeah, that must have been a head trip. I wonder if there are any other examples like that. I can’t think of any off the top of my head.

EDIT: Thought of one. Bob Saget, the world’s dirtiest comedian, playing a dad on the sickeningly wholesome show Full House.

Exactly. Don’t tell me you wouldn’t want to read Horton Hatches the Xenomorph Egg.

That’s a lot less fun than going to a used record store or an antique mall though. That’s what we do.

It’s fun, although she’s been less interested lately. Maybe in the spring.

If I was a furry and that was my fursuit, I would be embarrassed to show up at whatever sort of social gatherings furries have.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Now now, be nice. I’m not into it myself, but every furry I have met in my life has been a decent person. They just have a kink. That’s cool with me. If you find pleasure in wearing a costume, wear a costume.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I didn’t mean kink in a sexual way, I meant it as in deviating from the norm. Sorry to be confusing.

If I had $150+ to spend…

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

That’s almost universally true at the multimillionaire and above level unless you inherited it all. You don’t get that rich without stepping on everyone you can to get there.

Elon Musk has ruined a ridiculous number of people on his way to the top and he continues to do it.

I wonder if you could exchange it for US dollars or if it was only usable in military commissaries?
