Increasingly difficult to write letters to politicians when you aren't allowed to say "kill yourself"

@adiwan I dig it

@scribus Around the time of that school shooting in Broward County, I had a cartoon written (and a background painted!) that was just Marco Rubio listening to a bunch of voicemails from constituents telling him to kill himself, it was like four straight minutes of just that, and then the punchline was that he... kills himself. I decided not to do it when I realized it would probably get me a friendly visit from some federal prosecutors looking to ask me some questions.

@mrmattimation Well, I hit my limit break, lllooolll

Watching John Wick for the first time and I'm wondering what other see in that film to say it's great. It's pure gun porn.

@adiwan The only thing I remember about Hunger Games was being cranky that the main character is in no way a protagonist, then feeling vindicated when I read something about the conclusion that said

@scribus As all teenagers are. Puppets of their parent overlords.

@adiwan You know what, I think Keanu doing much of his own stunts is part of the appeal, too

@a1batross What if I'll tell you I looked at CMake's code :-)?

Oh boy. I search for a new laser printer for my parents as theirs refuse to cooperate. The exact model I own is now about 100€ more expensive than I bought it over a year ago. WTF.

@scribus It's cool that there is a cheap solution but I rather pay triple that for a proper one with a bigger volume and higher resolution.
-
@adiwan Yeah, I get the same feel. Might pick it up for my dad, who has expressed minor interest, but it would be too late for a Christmas present...
-
@scribus Double up and get an "Elegoo Mars" as it has proven its worth.

The new Animaniacs series slaps.

@scribus I just watched all the 13 episodes. It's good. Not overwhelmingly good. Good good. Some jokes and segments were not to my own taste but the rest was good 'ol fun.
-
@adiwan @scribus I enjoyed it quite a bit, although I definitely thought the Pinky and the Brain segments were generally the better parts of the episodes they were in. Not that the Warner Bros. segments were bad at all, they were pretty funny, I just thought P&B had waaaaay less misses.
Scribus likes this. -
@mrmattimation Pinky and the Brain operate from a well-established formula and it s not very surprising that their segment is the more consistent one. I still agree that they were mostly the better part of the show.

@lnxw48a1 @fribbledom @rayroy Yea, I just pointed that out.
Sometimes coincidences happen, especially approximate ones. -
@fribbledom @rayroy Technically not correct – a mile is defined through a metre: it is 1609.344 metres, that's the definition.
But they did evolve separately, I get your point. It's a fun coincidence. -

Because I'm somewhat of a dumbass, I only recently learned that one of Ireland's symbols is the harp. I had some vague familiarity with the Guinness harp (though I don't drink often) but I didn't really connect it. It's on Euros too of course, but I either didn't use any when I went to Spain or wasn't paying attention.

@adiwan I figured, but it would have been funny all the same :p
-
@adiwan Yeah, I've seen a mixture of different designs and countries since I've gotten here. The US started a thing a while back for the states. Not sure if they ever stopped since the original coins are still in circulation. Wasn't paying much attention to the years.
-
@thismightbeauser I think they completed the first run of 50 states a while ago, and have gone into a couple cycles of state-themed stuff, like birds or trees or something, but we've been on a "coin shortage" all pandemic so I haven't seen quarters in weeks at least, lol

It depresses me that there are less and less new PC cases with space for optical drives (CD/DVD/BluRay). I'm starting to look around for a new PC. As my PC is older and my case has only USB2 ports and an unreliable headphone jack, as well as showing wear I want a new one. My current case is from Cooler Master from 2006.

@scribus What even happened to floppy drives, EDO RAM, user-upgradable CPU cache, manually selectable device IRQ, Soundblaster, 3Dfx, CRT monitors, PS/2 keyboards, ball mice, IDE, SCSI...?
-
@adiwan I'm willing to let go of ball mice, but I still want me some PS/2 ports because damn it you only give me four USB ports and expect two of them to be mandatory input devices???
-
@scribus I'm glad my monitor has an integrated USB hub. I have a mouse, keyboard, scanner, drawing tablet, VR headset, and an external HDD, a microphone, and a webcam attached to almost all available ports of the whole system. I use the front ones occasionally for the SD card reader. So I'm pretty much maxed out.

@lnxw48a1 Political parties?
What a contrast, a Social Security Number which is barely anything and voter registration which is a bit much. -
@lain Voter registration in the US expires and the requirements vary depending on the state.
Personalausweis is an internal passport, in the US that function is mostly covered by a Social Security Number.
These things are hard to compare.
But also, it is odd to take money from a citizen for an internal passport. -

Changed my tires today. Because my father used a pneumatic drill last time I had a hard time loosening the screws. I had to literally stand on the wrench to have enough force to get over the friction.

@adiwan Eh, it's California. It's a local gag that you can surf in the morning, and ski in the afternoon. Or vice-versa.
-
@scribus I could do that too but the North Sea is toooo damn cold haha I don't know if the indoor skiing halls are open in Summer.... The mountains near me are not tall enough for snow all year around. I would need to drive to the Alps and it takes about 8 hours to get from where I live. But it isn't worth the time and gas.
-
@adiwan Ah, yeah, it's not a year-round snow, here. Maybe further north, yeah, but then the surf becomes a different story, lol.

Almost gotta respect how many times CNN can publish "BREAKING: We Still Don't Know!" like being told on Wednesday that it could take until Friday or longer didn't already inform us of things like "We don't know yet, and it will take time to count."

@adiwan I suspect his talk about "being so embarrassed that he leaves the country" was code for "finding somewhere without extradition to the US to die in penury," but maybe that was just wishful thinking.
-
@scribus He has a memory of a goldfish and an ego as big as Jupiter. His stubbornness and rabid followers will pull him back. Presidency two: electric vote-a-loo. The Fluffle Puff show will repeat again. As much as I have no wish for that I am emotionally preparing it as soon as possible.

@adiwan I've said it before, but I'll believe everything because I can't believe any of it. XD

I think I might change my name to Cassandra. Hey, if Vincent can become Alice...!

@adiwan Well, it's less that I'm claiming to be 100% correct about events that have yet to pass, and more a satirical statement in reflection on the fact that people are surprised that Donald Trump is doing exactly what he said he'd do four years ago. Like, if it's that widely shocking when an asshole, who said he would be an asshole, is an asshole, then clearly "having seen it coming" MUST be among some kind of ~SpEcIaL pOwErS~ or whatever.
