I was born in the 90s, my brothers were born in the early 2000s. We had a CRT into the early 2010s . Maybe people who weren’t poor haven’t seen real TV static but even then I doubt it. Hell, remember those god awful “flat screen” CRTs? My old station still had one of those that we used to watch TV on in 2018-19. It’s probably still there lol
The darkest Brandon would be [redacted]
Came across an unironic use of “momgoloid” in a paper from 1992 once
Slrpnk, the instance full of hippies and anarchists, is authoritarian? Lol how do they come up with this shit
Don’t be fooled, they put a sugar coating around the OTC stuff. Instant release Adderall on the other hand… that shit tastes pretty good
Looking at the inverse here. My entire family except for one of my brothers, my wife, and myself are chuds. If I didn’t have/want a good relationship with my parents I’d stay home
Yes, however, do beat the absolute piss out of the limes. The granulated sugar is there to act as an abrasive as well as draw the oils out of the lime rind
Sounds tasty, I’ll give it a try
My favorite mojito recipe:
2 Oz (60 ml) white rum
1/2 Oz (15 ml) rich demerara syrup (2:1 sugar to water ratio)
1 lime, quartered
a goodly amount of fresh mint, ~10-12 leaves
a little bit of sugar
~2 Oz (60 ml) soda water
Build:
Put a little sugar in your glass, chuck the lime and mint in, muddle.
After you’re done muddling, fill your glass with ice
Add a splash of soda water (not the whole 2 Oz), rum and syrup, stir until chilled
Too the glass up with soda water, stir again to incorporate the soda
Garnish with a fresh mint sprig
Notes: I really like Planteray 3 star or flor de cana 4 for this recipe. Planteray has an earthier flavor while the flor de cana has a more fruity/tropical vibe. If you don’t have access to demerara sugar, you can use light brown or raw sugar for a substitute.
I’m more of a tiger balm on the starfish kinda guy
It was pretty cringe, the lyrics were god awful and they were way too liberal with the auto tune. Thankfully Elon is so unimaginative that he couldn’t think of more than one verse for his war crime of a song so there weren’t any surprises after ~10 seconds in. I would say the warning was justified, but a little overstated. I thought we were gonna be on Angelic 2 the Core levels of bad and it was just Friday bad. My relationship with my curiosity remains the same. As long as it isn’t (real) gore, I’ll probably click on it
Aw shucks, I’m honored to have my foolishness immortalized
You have no idea how much pain I’m willing to inflict on myself in order to get the reference. Your warning has been heard, but it will not be heeded
Edit: oof
That’s where the cum button is tho
Not me. Nope. Definitely not avoiding studying by being on lemmy
I went from not owning a proper computer for nearly a decade to exclusively using mint for work, school, and gaming emulators. Works flawlessly, everything’s pretty intuitive, zero issues whatsoever. Maybe my use case isn’t crazy but for the average joe, Linux works just fine. What lies was I fed?
I just want to put this out here because it happened to me. I’ve had a deep interest in Norse mythology since I was a child and have several tattoos featuring runes and Norse mythological imagery. I knew that Othala was a common white supremacist symbol as well as things like the sonnerad, triskele, and valknut so I avoided them.
However, my most visible piece is a raven skull with 3 runes running down the middle. 2 of them are apparently associated with Nazi shit. Thankfully they’re obscure enough that normal people don’t assume I’m a white supremacist, but it’s dog-whistley enough that I’ve had Nazis assume I was also a Nazi and try to strike up conversations with me.
For anyone considering getting runes, be very careful with which ones you select and how you present them. Here’s a decent list of Norse symbols that have been associated with white supremacist movements
