I genuinely believe we need a constitutional amendment securing the innate human right to kick the everloving goddamnit out of people who make -- or kowtow to implement -- moronic ass-backwards software design choices. Why in any god's holiest of names would the Keyboard Settings be ANYWHERE OTHER THAN SETTINGS > KEYBOARD??? The HELL I gotta go under papayaing "Time" for this you god damned useless batcaves!!? Who decided this, and have I missed out on the opportunity to skin the dumbass alive and roll them in rock salt?

@zeldatra Why does YouTube have two (or more, I've just found 2) ways to link the tv app and the mobile app, one numeric and the other alphabetic. No idea why there's not just one way, they couldn't pick one?

Chip & Dale: Rescue Rangers looks like the Xbox 360 video game adaptation of Chip & Dale: Rescue Rangers. BUT… it’s still a lot of fun. I enjoyed it, a lot more than I thought I would. If you have Disney+ and a couple of hours to kill, you could do a lot worse.

@zeldatra I watched it on Friday. It was.... an experience. The plot was fine but what it made special was what the legal team was able to get and what the creators were able to get away with. The cel-shaded 3D characters and the occasional painted-over humans were grating.

@scribus Out of nowhere I remembered the ""Injun"" song from Peter Pan for the first time in twenty years and on a rewatch, oh man. Oh man

@thelastgherkin Well you inspired me to go back and take a look at it. I always wondered why people weren't more offended, but I still forgot half of how bad it is.

I'm new here! I'm very excited :)

My store was fully stocked on baby formula until the news started saying we were running out of baby formula. Now we’re running out of baby formula because people think we’re running out of baby formula and they’re coming in to buy as much as they can. Completely manufactured panic.

@zeldatra Yo dawg I heard you're running out of (SUPPLY), so I'm hear doing a run on (SUPPLY) so you run out of more (SUPPLY) when (SUPPLY) is running out

Avatar is the least-exciting hyped movie I can remember. Everybody praises the 3D viewing experience but I think the use of 3D is only so good because all other 3D movies did it wrong in a way or another. Story-wise it's a dud in my opinion. The plot is as transparent as the main protagonist is flat and uninteresting.

@zeldatra I remember the 3D being so good that I tried batting ash out of my vision during the climax. And did they drag Sigourney Weaver into it, too?

Really think Adam Sandler shoulda been the next Doctor. Doctor Jew.

@zeldatra I heard the BBC passed because the songs he tried out just didn't fit with their vision of the Doctor. I guess acoustic-guitar-backed manchild moans about "timey-wimey" just appeal to a very select audience.
-
@scribus was really looking forward to hearing the doctor talk like an actor whose entire understanding of mental disability comes from very special episodes of the 1980s

@zeldatra Were you looking for some kind of lost Sims 2 thing? https://simworld.neocities.org/frontpage.html
Saturday, 07-May-22 00:40:26 UTC from web-
@scribus this is an interesting read! Sims 2 fortunately though has a large modding community at modthesims.info (as well as elsewhere for people looking for more, ah, substantive content) so the lost media don’t bug me as much

i go to watch Sonic 2 and when i get back i learn I've missed a prominent Republican Congressman getting his gay sex tape leaked, then him claiming that the gay sex in the gay sex tape was simply a prank and there was nothing gay or sexual about it.

@zeldatra I guess we need to watch the whole thing to see whether or not a) the balls touched, or 2) they said "no homo" in time

Really very strange that in England you’re required to take your pants off while security points and laughs at the grocery store. I get enough of that from American women.

@vernandex You don't have the slightest idea with whom you are conversing
-
@vernandex "Who is the two-bit," since you have demonstrated your inability to read, is turning YOUR insult against Matt back on you, when YOU stepped up and purported to know not only the ages of every user on this site, active or otherwise, but the age of the original enquirer back to their own face. I believe it is a form of irony, but nobody can agree on that one so /shrug

@scribus idk what to respond with when you cant even reply to the correct post...

Most of them want me to activate a gift card for them to “test” the system or some other such nonsense, I’ll usually go through the steps they give me, asking lots of stupid questions along the way, and then when I’ve “activated” the card I just tell them the card number is “zero”. Most just hang up at that point. One guy audibly huffed and hung up. Another guy got so mad he cursed me out and asked why I didn’t just hang up the phone. Scam calls to me turn into prank calls very quickly.

Got today my first scammer on my company phone. They spoofed a local phone number (probably a SIP gate) and called probably from India, as the caller had an Indian accent and spoke English. They said they were from Microsoft and my computer had a "problem". I didn't hesitate very long and hung up. It'd be funny to waste their time but it's also my time too that would have been wasted.

@adiwan I've tried messing with a few scammers/spammers in the past, but I seem to be no good at it. They never reply to my responses, I must be too obvious.
-
@scribus I’ve been known to subtly waste a phone scammer’s time at my place of work, to the point that some of them, if I pick up and they recognize my voice, they’ll immediately hang up.

Now, I, fully vaccinated AND having caught the virus, personally am proceeding through life as I did prior to the pandemic, with the exception that I wear a mask to work and in crowded places still, but the idea that there should be zero precautions taken whatsoever and people just shouldn’t care about it anymore is frankly incredibly shortsighted.
Thursday, 31-Mar-22 17:02:34 UTC from web-
@scribus The blatantly-rude and incorrect comment "we can skip the “muh freedom” dog and pony show, we all know you don’t actually care about that" is incorrect for many reasons, but one in particular that can be proven here: This site runs on GNUSocial (previously known as statusnet), and I learned about this website through exploring GNU software that I do not usually use. I ise Free software and reccomend it to my peers because I very much do caer about freedoms and liberties, unlike the aforementioned. All of the aspects of my "rat" are perfectly comprehensible, but I would understand that you would be confused as the StatusNet link now directs to an unrelated website.

@vernandex Right, but how does you using FOSS make HIM a troll?

Saying Covid is over is not the same as Covid being actually over. Ignoring facts doesn't help. It makes things worse. I'm disgusted.

@vernandex I am fed up by people doing the thing that perpetuates the current situation. Instead of getting it under control it is getting worse. I want it to be over but doing the opposite is madness.
-
@adiwan You know it's never going to "be" over, right? You can't exactly get rid of a respiratory disease that almost everyone has had alread, and the mindless proponents of the things that are supposed to stop the disease don't realize know what the law of diminishing returns are. People are over it, no one cares anymore; they'd rather get sick for a while instead of wearing masks and get forced medications than pretend like it'll one day go away entirely. The most you can do is stop holding things up by wearing masks all the time for no good reason and, maybe, getting sick once in a while, like normal.
-
@vernandex I always wonder why the party who asks "Why do you care?" cares, y'know? This door swings both ways, as the Hermits say.

I accidentally ended up on a course on it and it is my first contact with coding and i'm screwed xD -

Are there bars in airports? I’m flying to England in a couple of weeks and I just realized my return trip has a four hour layover in Lisbon. The Potato Knishes am I gonna do in Portugal for four hours?

@zeldatra I think there's always been a bar in the American airports I've been at, I spent a couple of hours sampling flights in a wine bar in Florida before coming home

The stylistic influence that Edd Gould’s animation had on my work is obvious. Although I’ve tried, in recent years, to downplay it, I think it’s impossible to really deny just how influential Eddsworld was to me. I wonder a lot if what I’m doing meets the standard that his work sets. Am I using that influence to carry on his legacy? Or am I doing him a disservice, like robbing his grave and stripping him of what made him so highly regarded in an attempt to further my own career? Am I a representative of the generation he inspired, a piece of the future, or am I merely a phony, a copycat who clings to the past? These thoughts go through my head a lot. I still wish he’d been around to see it. His death inspired me to take animation seriously as an art form, but the truth is that I’d trade that all away, because I don’t think my presence in this game comes anywhere close to making up for what was lost ten years ago.
Friday, 25-Mar-22 22:01:39 UTC from web-
@zeldatra I mean, like, EVERY puppet* is a Henson-style hand-and-rod all-but Muppet these days, you know? Influence is just one of those things. Some algorithm online keeps telling me I write almost exactly like Stephen King, and I barely read any of his work! I uh... don't know if I got a POINT to that tangent, but. . . .

OK wow. When I was 16 I slipped on a brick wall, fell, and tore a hole in my left shin. I have a distinct scar for as long as I have my leg beneath the knee. Today, my Dad slipped while cleaning the pool. Tearing up his left shin. Back in the 90s, he patched me up and rushed me to urgent care. Today, I was able to repay him in an oddly specific repeat O___O
