Nah, I’d be like, go on! Do you associate that song with a particular event, person, time or place in your life? When did you first hear it? In what context is it your fave? Have you ever heard it played live? What was that like? Could you ever imagine another song taking its place or is it too sentimental or ingrained into your very being?

Basically a question like “fave colour/song” is often a simple test. The kind of answer you give should indicate whether or not the topic can be opened up or expanded upon or even just indicate if you want to talk to this person at all right now. If you answer “blue I guess”, and look completely disinterested or “insert massive pop hit of the moment” and leave it at that, then they know to go about their day or try another topic like “So what about that sportsball game/weather/current event?”. But you might give them a nuanced answer that will lead to more conversation.

It is handy to have a simple, 1 dimensional responce if you want to shut down the conversation quickly or direct it to another topic.

Kleiopedia. Named after Kleio the Greek muse of History. Alternate spelling derived from her Latin spelling is Cliopedia but I personally prefer Kleiopedia. She was often depicted with a scroll or a chest full of books.

Holy heck?! Who is this psychopath?! “You must conform!” in this case basically = “You must assimilate!”. This is why some version of CRT, at least an overview of the fundamentals, SHOULD be taught in highshool so students can recognise these sorts of policies for what they often are. But the system is hardly going to educate the subjects of its oppression is it, or they might actually recognize and resist policies and practices that are rooted in racism and discrimination. Can’t have that!

No no, you’ve got it quite wrong, they only have 22.4k karma not 24k! 24k would be insane!!?

I have good news! If you wait around long enough your comment will eventually become 100% correct while mine will become weird and just flat out wrong?!

Just for a bit of context I was “surfing the internet” in 1994 via Gopher, an early alternative to the web as we know it now and I used it primarily to find and download apps stored on computers connected to the internet.

In 1995 I was using the Mosaic browser and later Netscape to surf the World Wide Web mostly via webrings that were individual webpages that had links to other wepages of similar content linked to them.

I don’t recall and am not aware of anything that would resemble a meme from that time? This is a year or so before Dancing Baby which is usually considered the first viral video and even then that was originally shared via email forwards.

Yikes, after reading that thread in its entirety I unsubbed from their channel. They will have to do a LOT to get me to ever come back. I’m not sure if that’s even possible?

These types of laws are sick and barbaric and not indicitive of a civilised society! These woman should not have to revisit their trauma but they are fucking made to by a sick group of degenerates who make laws that the majority simply don’t want!

From what I’ve briefly read China (and many other countries) have regulated that e-bikes must be under a certain weight (55kg) and top speed (25km/h) and anything over that is no longer considered an e-bike but rather a moped/motorbike that needs everything a motorbike would require i.e you have to get a licence to drive it and registration/plates.

It sounds resonable to me as the lines between an e-bike and e-motorbike got blurred real quick. Besides there’s no way these wheelchairs are faster or more convenient than even a regulated e-bike?? Or am I missing something?? I guess you can ride them right into your office/up to your desk…

Oh god, the cringe is strong?!

I don’t understand this device AT ALL?! Unless it’s suuuuper cheap there’s nothing it offers over simply pairing a DualSense controller to a phone or tablet?! Add to that the awkwardness of your hands HAVING to be a foot apart to hold the controller halves and it’s just mystifying why anyone would want this??

At the moment I can chuck a DualSense in my backpack and know that I can pair it to my phone when out and about. Two things I already have that work just fine and are arguably more comfortable to use. I would hope this is going to provide a better streaming experience but what I currently use is good enough for occasional use and my phone isn’t even a high end phone.

Oh, I forgot. Apparently it doesn’t even work outside of your home wifi network (it needs to be on the same wifi as the PS5??) making it even less functional than a phone using remote play?! So weird?!

This is terrible! I went to /r/steam to learn about steamed hams but they were clearly grilled! I’m not even sure they were hams?!? 1 star, would not visit again!!
