That seems more like a Freudian slip than anything else. It’s easy to confuse one terrorist group for another, especially when they both have a name that starts with ‘H’ and they’re fighting each other.

On so many fucking levels that it’s going to be best for my mental health to just block your dumb ass and move on with my day.

Finally!

I’ve still got one I keep semi-active (to stay in touch with long-distance relatives who aren’t tech-savvy enough to move past their first social media site, LOL) and I’ll happily post this over there!

Just managed it? JUST?

Do you really fail to grasp the connection, or are you just being obtuse?

…as a lifelong New Englander, I’m not sure if I want to root for or against that proposal! (pre-Brexit it would have been a no-brainer; I’d love to be part of the EU)

I’m glad I checked Wikipedia before just talking out my ass, as the attribution is less clear than I thought, but the first I heard of this was in Phish circles back in the 90s!

This guy screws.

We’re ALL fucked, and it won’t be nice.

Fuck.

People using “literally” to mean “figuratively” really was only the beginning?

90s me would be sadly satisfied with how shit’s going right now. Like, everyone prefers to be right, but sometimes the Schadenfreude isn’t worth the squeeze.

Could you please let it go, at least for a little while? We’re going through enough stress at the moment without playing Captain Midnight’s Decoder Ring on all your comments.

You can go back to being a special little butterfly… well, not when things go back to normal - that may never happen - but, how about giving the rest of Lemmy a break for a week or so?

Pretty please?

I was seriously considering joining the French Foreign Legion, until I learned I was too old for them. Ugh.

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.
