I hope he figures this out. He’s bern very promising, very progressive.

Sveinbjörn @sveinbjorn.com · 5d

Yeah I worded that too confrontational.

Sveinbjörn @sveinbjorn.com · 6d

You’re right.

No, this was last year. Its at the top of the story. Has he really been absent? I think he’s the most visible US governor apart from the other orange guy, in California.

So I don’t know if you are telling us something or just making up slander? It’s uncomfortable. Disinfo is bad.

And finally, the bit about my mom was to appeal to your absent conscience that you were stepping on a pretty heavy grief.

Sveinbjörn @sveinbjorn.com · 6d

Seriously where the fuck do you get off?

Also

THIS WAS MOSTLY ABOUT _LIBRARIES_ AND THE FACT YOU COULD ALWAYS USE THEIR GEAR AND RECORDS AND TAPES.

And to mr. Pargin, i don’t know how to untag you, sorry.

I’m not taking part in this kink. You’re jacking off there in your teddy bear costume aren’t you, hitting 50, still not over the fact that your parents didn’t care enough about you to scrimp, and you were too lazy to sell newspapers like I did to fund my part of the nintendo. Loser.

Sveinbjörn @sveinbjorn.com · 6d

Seriously what the fuck is wrong with you???

I spent the last 10 years sacrificing shit for my mom after she had a stroke. Hence I’m poor and I missed out on creating a family. I do not regret it. She finally died two months ago. I carried the whole fucking aftermath. Eat shit you disgusting fucking pervert.

I wasn’t debating or refuting. Not everything is a fucking debate. I started out with a joke, big mistake, the rest was comparing notes. Conversational. I’m 46. You are my age. You’re still not over being broke in the 80s. That is weird and not my problem. I was mostly talking about libraries.

Sveinbjörn @sveinbjorn.com · 6d

I was not. Mom on student loans. No generational wealth. Lentil soup for days. Mom made choices. Our first vcr was a piece of shit. The nintendo had 4 people funding it. Anyway, this has been borderline insulting. Bye

Sveinbjörn @sveinbjorn.com · 6d

Yes. The 80s home movie experience included renting the player. As I said. I don’t really understand why you felt you had to reiterate. Anyway, I was describing my experience. Yours was different. This has happened before. No need to fight it.

And the library had both media and media players, so if I really wanted to I could listen to stuff at the library. Or watch - probably. For video the timeline is more hazy.
Were you born in the 80s?

Sveinbjörn @sveinbjorn.com · 6d

Maybe this is a subtle age thing. I was 10 when we got most of the home media stuff, the cd player, vcr and nintendo.
But before that we'd get a big ole rental video tape player, the video rentals used those to bridge the gap.

…things out. I'm not sure it even means much, things are becoming harder to find again, except now the world (mostly google and other search though) is full of decoys and scams.
They seem passive to me and I think that's because this environment is worse than ours was. Ours was just slower.

Will there be a reckoning, or are people in republican areas largely cool or indifferent to public displays of naziism?

realizing I've pretty much lost the ability to memorize phone numbers has really quantified the extent of my brainrot

bleary @bleary.off-the-records.com · 10d

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

I still just use it for deeply questionable tech support

You are a prisoner in a room with 2 doors and 2 guards. One of the guards is an LLM that tells the truth 42.7% of the time and the other is an LLM that lies 68.3% of the time
