Loving all the oldsters here! I don't remember the specifics, but almost certainly FidoNet message boards on BBSs in my late teens … so, early 1990s? Maybe ST:TNG given the era …
Maybe also consider 10Dance then. Those two are my favourite things I've watched this year :) Most of the rest are either BL or 2.5D, message me if you want reccs of those <3
Just started reading this a few days ago, so I'm not done yet but it's fucking awesome! Loving every word 💚💚
Subtitles OK? Have you watched Glass Heart on Netflix. Mostly music, little bit of romance. I loved it 💚💚
It told me I was under 16 on the basis on my face scan (as you know, I am 51). This is gonna be a clusterfuck for at least a minority of folk …
The value of NO FUCKING UTIs is immeasurable! So happy for you!
Not sure if this quite counts, but - the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana. We watched it on TV at my Nana's place (we didn't have a TV) and it was very Disney-princess and I was allowed to stay up late. I was six years old <3
Air fryer and a teeny little one-person sized rice cooker which looks like a ridiculous toy but means I can whip up a dinner-sized risotto or rice-and-beans or pilaf type thing with no standing at the stove!
Wasn't one of the guys who signed that manifesto the one who said he vibe coded his own Reminders app so it fit the way his brain worked? I bet that's what they're thinking of …
Happy new year! I bought a new bedside table and I am so happy. Is this adulthood?
メリークリ 💚
Lol it told me I was under 16 and I'm goddam FIFTY … their AI is fully bananas. I do look kind of young, but not teenager young!
I am dead of laughter and annoyance, Discord just suspended my account for being under 16 after analysing my video selfie
Friends, I AM FIFTY YEARS OLD
I know that EDS gives me youthful looking skin, but srsly?
I don't have gov't photo ID due to disability, so hopefully this isn't too painful…
💚💚 Gorgeous 💚💚
Google query states "Is 'where is <famous person> in the library' a request for a physical location or book catalogue references? No specific library is stated. Google's answer is that it might be either but it's probably a general, humorous search query or a riddle
Lol! It pairs well with this, which just underscores the point that these damm things don't actually think, they just regurgitate words …
You never buy things online? How?
Anything is possible 😂
Eventually the Mac world thankfully caught up and I switched to OS X 💚
It wasn't my PC but I have fond memories of helping a friend build their first Slackware box in ?1994 or so from 3 1/2" floppy drives, maybe about 21 of them? The stack of floppies was very tall and we got pizza while we waited because it took forever … I installed mine a few years later I think
In the end she did specific tutoring and it wasn't "get better at English" it was "here's how to get a better score in this type of test questions"…
I think language tests are often tests of test-taking ability rather than the actual language. I had a friend who took the IELTS something like 13 times before she got a score that qualified her to attend university which was bananas. I lived with her - she absolutely had enough English for that
The other survivorship bias: the cookies which had sprinkles all over already got eaten. Nom!
I started learning Japanese this year at 50. I fully plan to join a singing group as soon as I get to that level of health, which looks like it might not be super far away.
One of the joys of getting older is that I am WAY better at being bad at things without my perfectionism getting in the way💚
These are glorious, thank you!!
I desperately want to know the tiara stances of every major character in the Vorkosigan Saga now … damm you! <3
OMG so exciting! I am another person who has been singing along to the cast album since (in my case) 1990 when I got the cassette tape 💚💚 it’s still in my current rotation
JFC I wish circumstances didn't mean this very same article was germane every 3 months … Uber's never ever going to get meaningfully punished for this …
OMG I'm only up to page 7 and … they wrote ONE PAGE about how to implement the PSG and considered it done?? WTF?
(This is so readable, I love it!)
I didn't know what this was so I googled it and was astonished to find it consists only of ingredients I can actually eat, which is vanishingly rare. Cooked it a few days ago and definitely will be doing so again - THANK YOU OMG THIS IS AWESOME!!! 💚💚💚
I spotted this about nasal antihistamines the other day too -
