Maybe XP or 7 based on how snappy it feels? But they’re not really comparable.

TTY is still a thing in Linux and Windows removed that in XP. GUI can vary from classic feeling to more modern than Windows. Package management is leaps and bounds better than Windows.

Windows XP and 7 are a good one to say to Windows users because they’ll remember them as comparatively light and debloated, which is how Linux feels, even though Linux is very much modern.

What are you talking about? TikTok isn’t the internet, just like Facebook wasn’t and MySpace wasn’t.

TikTok is like Snapchat. 13 years ago Snapchat was the cool app all the kids were using and making fun of older people for not getting it. 13 years later and it’s still just shitty text messaging, with the only people using it being those who cared a decade ago who got their family and friends to sign up just for them.

TikTok is just shitty Youtube and in 10 years will be replaced by something else. Plus, what exactly am I out of touch with? My reddit feed is already crammed with crappy TikTok videos. Take something mildly amusing with the volume off that would be moderately amusing with sound. Replace that sound with the most godawful music you can think of. Now repost it 100 times with the image cropped to oblivion and half the screen taken up by an emoji or some random mobile game. Woo yeah, that’s the future of content, let me tell you.

My wife and I always give each other 2-3 options and take turns narrowing it down. Same with movies: We start out with our Trakt list and take turns narrowing it down until we get something we both want to watch.

In the show, typically something out of the ordinary would happen during the opening scene, and the narrator would foreshadow how that small thing would have major consequences before declaring that the characters had entered The Twilight Zone.

In this comic, the narrator might say something like, “Meet Mrs. Anderson, a typical American wife who’s never quite sure where she wants to eat. But after a strong craving on a fateful night, she finds her next meal in The Twilight Zone.”

Anyway, he’s smoking a cigarette, not crack.

No, the joke is that it’s The Twilight Zone.

Not sure what you mean. The McChicken bars are not showing a 200% increase regardless of how you slice it.

They’re not. The $3 bar is not 3x the height of the $1 bar next to it. The $2.99 bar on the right is higher than the $2.99 bar on the left. Someone just free drew the bars and it’s extremely noticeable and annoying.

Every single question was addressed in the cliff notes while I skimmed them the night before the test.

And you suddenly realized what your teacher used to make the test questions.

They got an iOS app?

Nope

I wanted ad-free videos.

Arctic for Lemmy. Also have Peertube app but there’s not much hosted there yet.

Lawyers hate this one trick.

This same trick was actually a plot device in That 70s Show (S1E11). Red learns to use it, and immediately starts making sales.

I might be in the minority, but it is painfully obvious and pisses me off when companies do this. I’d much rather get an apology than a comment on my own emotional regulation while taking zero accountability. They’re basically saying it’s my fault for being annoyed.

I don’t think a retail manager would appreciate, “Thank you for remaining calm as your car took unexpected damage” over “I’m sorry I hit your car,” so why do they think I’d prefer the former for them making me wait?

There is some truth to it. For example, all three of Alabama’s nitrogen executions were selected by the prisoners.

The police have, however, claimed that the woman was having an affair with another person and was beaten up by him and his family members.

Thou was singular subject and thee was singular object.

I remember as a kid the teachers were desperately trying to make “he or she” a thing and told us the singular “they” would never be acceptable.

I’m personally glad that movement failed.

This exactly. One of the houses on my commute had had TRUMP spelled out on the lawn with tiles for months, and after he won put up a sign that says “Daddy’s home.”

Democrats don’t do that for Biden, nor would they have if Harris won. A lot of conservatives seem to want Trump to command them, tell them what to do and think, and that’s what’s truly scary.
