@scribus I was thinking more like a cane with a shotgun barrel at the tip so I can trick people into thinking I’m frail and an easy target
-
@scribus (straight male boomer comedian voice) Sounds like my wife!!!!
-
@scribus man we coulda been rid of this asshole four years ago if Beto didn't have such a big mouth. two friggin' percent margin.
-
@scribus Similarly - why are “Device Manager” and “Printers and Devices” two separate menus?
-
@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
-
@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
-
@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
-
@scribus Like Elon Musk purchasing Twitter and Facebook going meta, I fail to see what Web 3.0 has to offer me, the content creator. As soon as somebody can tell me how MY life changes, that’s when I’ll start caring.

@scribus idk what to respond with when you cant even reply to the correct post...
-
@scribus It's a general rule of the internet. "who is the two-bit " You don't regularly speak english, do you?
-
@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.
-
@scribus It isn't rude in the least; straightfoward maybe, but not rude. I'm being realistic

@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.
-
@scribus Well, not so similar in the end... Turns out he didn't need any stitches. It was just a really, really gnarly scrape! No exposed bone!! :D
-
@scribus My bad. I don't want to put poutine's name in vain. I just looked up how it is pronounced https://translate.google.com/?sl=auto&tl=de&text=%D0%9F%D1%83%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%BD&op=translate It appears to sound more like "poot yen"

@scribus the big disincentive to using Australia now, besides the emu uprising, is that it ruins a joke in Swole Foods. One script has a borderline senile old man recounting a battle he fought in Australia; with his senility being the joke. But then a script that’s placed later in the timeline has a character who works for the government mention the same event, making it more credible; a third script then finally reveals that in this universe, NATO fought an atomic war against Australia. I might just generically say “a country in the East” or something like that instead.

@scribus I believe that I'll be quite unhappy with a phone from a niche manufacturer. TCL's Blackberry phones are the minimum quality I expect and that one does not fill me with confidence. Also I don't want a fold-out keyboard. At max I can live with a slider style or whatever the HTC Desire Z was.
-
@scribus Haha. Are you using an external display for a video camera? It is surely a great help keeping oneself in the shot when no cameraman is available.
-
@scribus You can envy those people who "borrowed" a monitor, forgot to put the note into the inventory system, and then left the company (quite some time after) without bringing the hardware back. *sigh*
-
@scribus the way I see it - since *my* universe is usually grounded pretty firmly in reality, starting with some really crazy grape off the bat means nothing’s off the table. Futurama’s first season goes from 1999 New York to literally the edge of the universe, so for the entire rest of the show they could go literally anywhere in between.
-
@scribus it’s probably helped by the fact that I’m planning to do a couple of over-the-top high concept episodes right off the bat so people don’t start telling me I’ve jumped the shark after I do something really out there. “Kat’s new co-worker is a neo-Nazi” is waaaay less over-the-top than “Kat accidentally joins a mafia family after volunteering at an old folks’ home”.
-
@scribus Oh yeah. The USA is not very bike friendly from all the videos I've seen. I'd be terrified to cycle there and would do only that on the sidewalks if at all. To protect my bike from the elements and thieves I always put it back into the cellar. It takes a few minutes to put it in and out but at least it'll last a bit longer. A neighbor has a steel frame bike and it has developed an even rust coating.

@scribus could tell the guy was getting paid extra to push a particular brand too… he showed me the most expensive one first and was like “this one’s good for snow”, then showed me a seemingly identical one from another brand and was like “this one’s ok too, I guess… it’s made for all weather conditions… but it’s really not as good, I wouldn’t even bother”
-
@scribus modding the sims 4 is so overly complicated too because you need to update them about as often as the game updates which is often
-
@scribus funny thing about that: our fresh truck came in finally and the dry shelves have been fully stocked for weeks, no idea where the media is getting those photos of bare shelves in the DC area
