Good thing I use Ubuntu for >90% of my computing now.

He knows this. I used to listen to his show. And in all my time listening to him, he never took on a caller who was making nine bucks an hour and struggling to make ends meet. His most frequent type of caller is a straight late twenties couple who make $140k a year, who owe maybe $25k in credit cards, and whose obvious answer to fixing the problem is to sell the thousand dollar car payment for something more basic and eat out less often. Because he knows if minimum wage workers get past the screeners, there’s nothing he can do to help. That’s a systemic problem and he knows he’s part of it. What’s he gonna tell them? Go get a better job? Cool. If everyone does that, there won’t be any of those jobs for 90% of them, one, and two, there won’t be anyone working those important low wage jobs. Someone’s gotta flip the burgers. Someone’s gotta stock the shelves. The problem is systemic. And the answer is fuck the rich.

He takes offense with the word jiggles. He just dancin’.

I also grew up in SWOK and I can back up this statement. The whole place is pretty impoverished. Not quite like the southeast, but a lot of small towns that way are really struggling.

One time, my brother and I were building a new rig for him. After spending an hour putting the thing together, it wouldn’t boot. Like, push the power switch and NOTHING happened. We called his buddy who’s a real wizard with computers. His first question was, “Did you try reseating all the power connectors on the board?” And that’s right when we discovered we didn’t connect the power for the CPU.

All of the Angelica ones are pretty bad but the cross with Mr. Krabs takes the cake.

I’m not going to talk about the Krumm crosses. Those are all their own levels of Hell.

After being pointed out that I basically nailed the window for just millennials, I realize this comment is really fucking stupid. So if you wanna waste your time…

I think that’s a good name for kids born between 1980 and 1995. We mostly grew up with NO Internet at all but were pretty immersed in it by the end of high school. I’m young enough to have had both floppy disks and flash drives in my youth. Once my classmates and I got flash drives, that’s how we shared music between each other after we got Chris to download what we wanted from Limewire lol

My first name is pretty uncommon for girls, but I am the only guy I know bearing my first name. I get misgendered a lot that way. Nobody who reads it pronounces it correctly. Nobody who hears it spells it correctly. It’s frustrating sometimes.

I am comfortable disclosing that my middle name is Michael. It narrows my identity down so very little because it was the most common English boys name every year from 1961 to 1998 and was a top 10 boys name every year from 1943 to 2004.

So common is it that the Japanese punk band Peelander-Z made a song in 2009 called “So Many Mike,” poking fun at the phenomenon.

So to avoid confusion, I use my middle name when I’m out.

Don’t forget the hand drawn notary stamp! They worked really hard on that!

Cat owner. Can confirm.

Agreed. I’ve had my copies of both on CD since I was a teenager.

Wh-what?

spicytuna62 , 3 months ago

I used to have a 27" set. Probably weighed about 150 lbs. It had bowed the platform on the entertainment center. I wish I hadn’t got rid of it. Those things fetch a pretty penny these days. Old games just look fantastic on a CRT.

This is what I get for disappearing for an hour to talk to my mom and my brother on the phone lmao

Literally every comment that account has ever made has been removed. Wild.

Actually, it must have been a bot. That account is only an hour old and has at least several dozen (if not hundreds of) removed comments.

I said/did/wrote (in my personal journal) so much cringe shit as a teen. I am GLAD it’s not out there on permanent record. I got my Facebook account when I was like 17. Well after all the other kids my age did (I’m 31 now). I stopped using it by 23. I usually just made witty quips about life in general on Facebook, never aired my dirty laundry or spilled my guts or called a girl a bitch for not wanting to go out with me. I did go through a tough breakup during this time in my life, but the most I ever did was quote Cee-Lo’s “Fuck You.”

Facebook being problematic for kids is nothing new, but now many adults are intimately aware of how bad it is because we were those kids.

I really feel for kids these days.

My SIL has a '96. It runs, but I never see them drive it so I have no idea why they have it lol

When I was a little boy growing up in the late '90s, we had an '84 Celica GT 5-speed. Silver, hatchback, pop up headlights. Looked a lot like this

https://bringatrailer.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/1984_toyota_celica_1624382207ad23cIMG_3430.jpg

It was the last year the Celica was RWD. I loved that car. I thought it was the coolest car ever. I was heartbroken when it got parked. I’d been told it had 386,000 miles. I’d love to have one of my own, but I already have a 5th gen Prelude, and we have room (space- and money-wise) for only one old project car so I don’t think it’ll be happening lol

spicytuna62 OP , 3 months ago

I daily a quarter million mile 1997 Prelude. I’d drive my 2012 Civic more but it’s either got a bad starter or a bad alternator right now. I can get it to run with a jump, but I got stuck two and a half hours away from home when I found out it was having issues. Fun times.

For any who don’t know, these folks got raided by Swedish authorities, who left empty-handed.

What about “Mapusy” and “Macrak?”

For the vast majority of people who keep their cards safely stowed away in a drawer, this will likely never be an issue.

For someone who doesn’t have a safe place to keep one (for instance, homeless), this can get to being an issue pretty quickly.

That said, there are hardship exceptions to this rule.

RM 10205.425 Exception to SSN Card Limits Due to Hardship

When a number holder (NH) reaches his or her yearly or lifetime SSN card limits, an SSN replacement card may still be issued if failure to receive an SSN card will cause a hardship.

To receive an exception due to hardship, the NH must present a letter from a third-party provider, such as a State public assistance agency or an employer, indicating that the NH must present his or her SSN card to receive employment or a benefit.

So you’re not completely fucked, it’s just some extra leg work.

spicytuna62 , 3 months ago (edited 3 months ago)

It is, but you don’t need the physical card for very much. I’ve only ever needed the card for jobs. I’ve never had to apply for welfare, but I do belive you need a physical card to apply. But in most situations, you just need the number.

Station wagons rock. My wife is an SUV type. I told her that her style is trash. If they ever bring back the Camry or Accord wagon, I’m so buying one.

spicytuna62 , 3 months ago

That’s all they want to sell is trucks and SUVs. Ford doesn’t even make a car in the US anymore, except the Mustang. The Fiesta and Focus are just gone. They really tarnished the 3rd gen Focus name with that DCT. But trucks and SUVs just make them more money. There are only three choices of minivan here (Odyssey, Sienna, and Carnival) and if you want a wagon, you can buy a Volvo V60. But I’ve never seen one in the wild. Maybe the German luxury brands also sell a wagon here, but if they do, I have no idea they exist. Most of the time, when I see a wagon, it’s 20+ years old.

The US also has this fear culture that’s been going on at least since the 90s when SUVs really started to take off. I gotta be bigger because bigger is safer. That might be true when you run a red and cream a family of 4 in a Corolla, but most accidents involve a single car, and large trucks and SUVs are horrendous when they’re the only vehicle involved.

This really is like one of the tamest, most hinged things Shoenice has done.
