Got a call from the school when my oldest was in kindergarten… “Your child just yelled ‘bite my shiny metal ass’ in the library.” I was proud and embarrassed at the same time.

Inside of my left wrist is where I got mine. It’s small enough to be covered by my watch band.
Not mine, but my dad’s that I was there to witness.
It was summer (90s) and we were all camping at a lake. My sister and I were playing with some kids while my dad was chatting up the other kids’ dad. Just as I was getting out of the water I hear the other dad exclaim “you remind me of a guy I used to know called [name]!” My dad laughs and says “I am [name].” Turns out they used to go to school together decades before.
It’s stuck with me all these years, and has somewhat been turned into an inside joke within our family.
The Entwives went east to Hobbiton…
Met her briefly at a Sanders campaign rally. Would vote for her in a heartbeat.
I’m in this meme and I don’t like it
Questions: what are the perks to using this vs a pour over system (which is what I currently use when I’m out of cold brew)? Is this easy to use if you have limited hand dexterity and strength?
Luke Daniels and Andy Serkis both really bring that extra to the books they narrate.
I see tenforward is leaking…
I approve.
I have an account on kbin.social, lemmy.world, and sh.itjust.works. They are all linked on my respective profiles. I mainly use this one because .world had some issues where I couldn’t view comments on the connect android app about a year ago so I just switched. I like the app interface because it reminds me of rifgp, so that’s why I’ve never given kbin a fair shake.
Memphis design for the colors and patterns, Y2K for the colorful translucent electronics, and Frutiger Aero for the GUIs.
I just bought myself a pair of parachute pants! They’re not nearly as loud as the wind breaker suits of the 90s and early 00s, but I love them.
I remember us having an Atari computer along with some Compac computer running DOS in the late 80s. The computers I grew up with were models that we got for free from my dad’s workplace whenever they upgraded. We ran Win 3.1 until about '98. Win 95 was prevalent in the house until the mid '00s. Due to my dad’s job, we always had a computer of some sort in the house.
The computers in my elementary school’s computer lab were Apple 2es - in the 90s.
I didn’t get a cellphone until around 2004/2005, and then it was a hand-me-down from my older sister. The Nokia 5110 - the brick, complete with extendable antenna.
Same here, but within the past year or so we’ve had to reverse course so we can stay within our grocery budget.
Blinkies - those small gifs that blinked to give the impression of glitter.
iframes - precursor to divs, but definitely added that “only works in IE” feel.
More contrast between font color and background image - it’s too easy to read.
12pt Times New Roman font - gotta squint to read and default font for everything
Flashy gif banner at your header and footer - bonus points if they’re the same image
All urls default to underlined blue and purple.
Mouse cursor with trails. The more sparkles, the better.
Clip art. Clip art everywhere.
As a woman who still has her uterus and ovaries but who has gone into the “it’s dangerous to get pregnant at your age” territory: I’m scared shitless. My last pregnancy ended in a stillbirth and that in and of itself has scared me. I feel horrible for being thankful that it happened months before RvW got overturned. I’m just ready to get everything removed so there’s not even an iota of a chance of pregnancy.
I don’t have one place I work at. My job requires I travel so I do a lot of driving (minor perk is I get paid milage and drive time). I normally work at two locations each workday, and it’s not uncommon for me to commute over 100 miles round trip. Until recently I was only working two days a week, and now it’s between three to four days depending on what I have to do.
Disclaimer: I don’t get paid nearly enough and am trying to find work closer to my rural residence. Corporate doesn’t want to give raises either.
