Everytime I see a Gizmodo link I get Gen-X vertigo and feel like Robin Williams in the Jumanji meme.

Protest planners: "How do we disrupt Bannon’s press conference? "

Protester:

It’s a slight numbing feeling on the tip of your nose once you get buzzed. I used to feel it when I was young but don’t even notice it now. She was explaining “getting buzzed” to a kid. It worked for me at least.

Can confirm. I grew up in the Carribean and I was allowed to drink beer and wine at a very young age. My mother taught me how to drink. I was definitely prepubescent, which is important because I hit puberty at ten. She explained that drinking can make you feel sick and that if I felt my nose feel funny I needed to stop and drink water.

Binge drinking and being fall down drunk is seen a something stupid, embarrassing, and something that only alcoholics do. I still find it strange and embarrassing when I see people racing to unconsciousness. What is the point of being blackout drunk before 9:00pm? We used to party until the sun came out, then we’d get breakfast and go to bed.

He should have made it clear that he would not seek a second term. Instead he pulled a RBG (she refused to retire when Obama asked her). We are now basically four months from election day and that ship has sailed. All we can do is vote D no matter what. Don’t confuse me doing what must be done with pride and “patting myself on the back”. His ego fucked us and now we have to deal with the mess…again. Thankfully, with the exception of their support for Israel’s genocidal campaign, his administration has been quite competent.

If you do not vote, or vote for anyone other than whatever Democrat is on the ticket, Palestinian will be fully wiped out or forced to live in an open air prison the size of a postage stamp, Ukraine will be steam rolled over, Americans who are not straight, white and faux-Christian will be third tier citizens, and American democracy will be dead, forever. Go sell your bullshit to someone else. I have seen too much shit to fall for such a weak and obvious maneuver.

Don’t vote for the man, vote for the administration. The Trump administration will be evil incarnate and absolutely the end American democracy.

Duh

Me, a Gen-X’r in tech since the mid-90s.

LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) is a wonderful self-hosting platform.

ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

…the French, in principle, rarely distinguish between fact and impression.

The author comes out swinging and still manages to bore quickly.

Smells just like the Brexit gamble.

The movie was 27 years ago.

Bro, what did Millenials ever do to you to deserve such violence?

Dear lord, no. That is not at all true. I am 51 and when I was a kid, the wreck of the Titanic hadn’t been found yet. People were still fascinated. I remeber watching a movie called Raise The Titanic, which in turn was based on a best selling book. Why do you think James Cameron was obsessed with the Titanic?

You fully missed the point. If you read comments around credit cards you’ll see that most people don’t understand the impact of credit cards on their ability to borrow. Yes, if you do not need five cards or $25,000 credit limit (or both), then you should absolutely start closing cards and reducing limits. People don’t understand that. They go buy a car and the loan rate is through the roof. They think that is how it is and never imagine that the rate might have been triggered by the three unused credit cards.

IMHO, you should always have one credit card with a limit just slightly higher than your monthly burn rate. You should use it instead of debit cards, and you should pay it off in full, automatically, every month well before it is due. Only one credit card. Again, just my opinion.

I’m pretty sure Biden didn’t beat Medicare.

Biden pulled a Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Instead of declaring that he would not run for reelection early on, we now find ourselves in a situation where the end of American democracy is not only possible but probable.

EDIT: Downvote away but if you think a Trump win isn’t the end of American democracy, then you are delusional.
