Gaming, gamer youtube channels, talking to my middle school aged niece. She’ll occasionally come out with an adjective that I have to determine the meaning of via context clues. Most of what she says that I don’t understand is either talking about cartoon series I’ve never seen or Chromebook-era school software. Kinda like I had to stop and explain what Math Munchers was to my parents.

I’m hoping to have bought my last x86 portable device. Hell it wouldn’t hurt my feelings if my Ryzen 7700x was the last x86 processor I ever buy.

Well in Australia that line would be entirely red. In Australia, “cunt” is how you pronounce the comma.

r/childfree tended to use “crotchgoblin” a lot. I sure did when I was there.

As a profanity enthusiast this is relevant to my interests, you scumwit dirttard wanksucker.

And then “Have A Nice Day.”

The one that does what I need it to do on the device I’m running it on. I’ve currently got four different Linux distros on x86 PCs around my house at this moment.

Yeah the bridge itself wasn’t being damaged because they installed a goddamn I-beam in front of it as a crash barrier.

I haven’t done an actual statistical analysis, but relying on my human over-ability to notice patterns and a tendency to laugh at the 11’8" bridge channel on Youtube (said bridge is located in Durham NC and I’m a lowercase t tarheel through and through), most of the trucks that hit the bridge’s crash barrier are Ryder, Penske or Enterprise box trucks, which are rental vehicles available, for reasons completely beyond my comprehension, to anyone with a Class C driver’s license in the state of North Carolina. Also over-represented are RVs that have their rooftop air conditioners scraped off. The vast majority of drivers that hit the 11’8" bridge are amateurs driving a vehicle significantly larger than they’re used to with an absolute height significantly taller than the roof of the cab.

It’s the very occasional semi truck that leads to the most spectacular, and baffling, crashes. They don’t rent articulated trucks to just anyone over 23 with a credit card.

Yeah we can keep rizz. I, a 37 year old millennial, could fully explain that one to my boomer mom in a sentence fragment. That’s a symptom of slang for the ages.

I’m almost at Abe Simpson’s perfect diatribe.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I’m with isn’t it, and what is it is weird, but not yet scary to me.

I remember being in my late teens and early 20’s and my parents would watch The News™ and how often they’d run stories that were of the pattern “And coming up after the break, Kids These Days™ are having sex by touching their eyeballs together. Why you should be angry and scared.” And the first thing I thought as a Kid Those Days™ was “…no we’re not. I had sex this afternoon and one of the few things we didn’t touch together was our eyes.” And I guess I’m still young enough that that kind of story doesn’t make me click a thumbnail?

I prescribe one of those feathers on a fishing rod toys. Put that energy to some nice healthy play.

I think they’re just heavy.

Here’s the thing about these debates: The Republicans have no platform or policies. All they have is old white people fears. So the debate sounds like this:

“What is your stance on minimum wage?”

“The minimum wage should increase so that all Americans can afford to survive in this nation.”

“WOKE MIGRANTS ARE GONNA FORCE YOUR KIDS TO GIVE YOUR TRUCK A SEX CHANGE OPERATION!”

And you’re going to tell me there’s a meaningful winner of this mediocre reality TV show?

pretty sure that’s why I exist.

Let’s say she did have an earpiece in. Why should I be mad about it? Every speech a president ever gives is going to be read from a teleprompter and written by a staffer.

This is human smoke. Don’t breathe this.

I honestly can’t be mad at this point because what they SHOULD do is sell cables in bulk packaging to the Apple store, and then when they sell a phone they say “Do you need a USB cable? Free with the phone.” If they say “No we’re okay I’ve got hundreds of them by now” no problem, if they say “Yeah in fact can I get two?” Sure. Same with chargers. Of course this is Apple we’re talking about, so they’re probably $69.99 each.

his bed is outside his house.

Having lived through that era as the slang making demographic, I would say that “sike” or “syke” is specific to the context of having just said something to fool someone. “Dude you want my bike? You can have it.” “Really?” “Sike!” See also the obnoxious drawn out “NOOOOT” you’d get at the time.

You would still use “psych” in terms of psyching up a team, psyching out an opponent, etc.
