This is the sobering reality for many a hometown hero of physical sports too. Being the best in your city, 1 in a million even, puts you in tight competition in college sports and then worse as a pro.

On behalf of the dads: We used to let you win all kinds of shit and you never knew! Then one day we couldn’t beat your anymore… and we had two choices while you gloated: convince ourselves we let you win or let the mid life crisis begin.

Sure, but be aware it’s a popular line from The Matrix series specifically about predetermination!

What will really bake your noodle is you just did.

Glad to see the other misinformation classics like Richard Gere’s gerbil mentioned.

Anyone remember Jamie Lee Curtis was secretly a hermaphrodite?

It was known. I don’t trust anything I learned pre Internet anymore, including the number of planets.

You’re right. Steam link exists for Linux but doesn’t connect to the new VR app. I agree valve likely has every intention of tapping this market soon though

(when administered as part of a single mission study in Zimbabwe funded by Bill Gates)

Steam just made a big step forward with steam link, but previously the headset manufacturers were releasing Windows only link software.

Solution: put milk in a coffee cup

Solution to standing out, not to the underlying problem of milk being weird

In my first weeks with it i had a subdirectory named “home” somewhere in a project directory I was done with. It must have been finger memory but when i went to delete it I typed

rm -Rf /home

That slash ruined my day

Thanks for some actual info rather than the rest of opinion and commentary here… Also for working to make the world a place.

Frustrating that one of the hurdles is red tape around engine size that needs a quirky solution like multiple motors.

This is the most viral lemmy I’ve seen yet. I hope the servers can handle all the images.

It’s some fucked up thoughts for sure

I used to flex on the gigabytes my collection required. Now it seems like bragging about the length of your buggy whip. Kinda wish I’d stuck to it though… Now I’m just the curator of a big pre-millennium library.

Well explained. Thanks for spelling it out.

Hey thanks for delivering. You made this a fun thread!

Take a pic from a slightly different angle with a handwritten note with the date, AMA style… Then the Internet will know that these paintings belong to Shave_MyBeever!

Yeah, i came for cute cat context and hadn’t zoomed enough to see the brand name… Otherwise might’ve predicted the backlash

It didn’t have anything to do with the cute cat… OP happened to use sauces from chic fil a, which implies they eat there. Eating there arguably supports an organization that has been caught, many times now, spending its money to reduce the rights for people they don’t approve of. It’s received a lot of press over the years but not so much your expect most people to know about it.

The Wikipedia bit didn’t even get into their involvement in African politics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chick-fil-A_and_LGBT_people

At this point the Margot Robbie account is a part of Lemmy’s origin story
