Never understood the love for that movie.

I like it but it was okay more than great to me.

Just beware. I have an APC of a similar size. Probably not quite as nice but last time I replaced the batteries, it still said it had plenty left but couldn't sustain my server when I pulled the plug.

I think it may have a lot to do with regional (i guess we can consider this country wide now) dialect whether you can pick up if someone is being facetious.

I think body language comes into play a lot as well which is of course lost online.

I've been a ball buster my whole life and am a marine with a suck it up attitude so I can come off as crass when i'm trying to make light of a subject to get a laughing it off reaction.

I've noticed the intertubes are not always conducive to good communication.

Emojis actually help in this regard but you cant shrink them so it defeats the purpose.

Also people on the tubes seem to be ultra sensitive and jump to a conclusion on the argumentative side as a reflex rather than defaulting to taking things as a joke side which I'm not really sure why.

I think we are creating a world full of snowflakes one generation at a time and the problem is starting with their little participation trophy's.


If I have something to say to a person I have no problem coming right out to their face.

There is never any doubt about if i'm pissed off or not.

Funny thing is I'm almost never pissed and very rarely lose my cool, hell I laugh about shit that makes other people cry.

I guess that comes with having to deal with real adversity through life and not just imagined slights.

"Well, I call it crypto shit. It's worthless, it's no good, it's crazy, it'll do nothing but harm, it’s antisocial to allow it,"

I hate to over-speak the point

Meanwhile Elmos expensive social media sideproject went read-only..

(A lot of people - if not all - seem to get a "Sorry you have exceeded your tweet limit." when trying to post/tweet)

I was wondering when Google would try to challenge chatgpt because Google has been the best search engine in years but more people are now using chatgpt to find out their answers but people like me who prefer to have privacy started using duckduckgo. We might be witnessing the fall of Google which I think a lot of us here would approve of.
