I still have a quantum fireball running on a pii-200 for dos gaming

Back when the word ‘macro’ was still a thing…

Yass mcdonalds definitely knew what they were doing, that sign’s been up there since the 90’s at least (that’s when i first saw it on my way to Canberra)

Many fell, some survive.

Come closer children, i will tell you of a time of meaningful climate action and workplace reforms

I’m an older member of the Comm, old enough to have lived through a large chunk of the AIDS crisis but young enough to spend wayy to much time online (yay limnal) and a lot of newbeans who mainly interact online get a bit of bad faith actor brainrot. They claim things like ‘queer is a slur’, ‘bisexual is transphobic’ and weird shit like that. Biggest whiplash i had was from someone who claimed ‘the q word is a slur’ and then in the next breath ‘reclaimed’ fruit.

Basically their answer to “is the word queer a slur” is a good indication of the mindset.

Prepare to get mad

Yeah i earn more than my parents combined for my entire childhood but guess what gobbled that shit right up.

The house i grew up in cost $20,000.

The one my husband and i bought cost $1,000,000.

Both 3 bedroom postwars in slightly dodgy neighbourhoods yaaay inflation

For the curious: $1,000AUD in 1980 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $5,125.00 today, an increase of $4,125.00 over 44 years. The Australian dollar had an average inflation rate of 3.78% per year between 1980 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 412.50%.

This means that today’s prices are 5.13 times as high as average prices since 1980, according to the Bureau of Statistics consumer price index. A dollar today only buys 19.512% of what it could buy back then.

Born in '78, basically immortal

Which is the big unspoken thing here: the only reason millennials/ Gen Z would even care about ‘inheritance’ is because everything has gone so fucking far to shit that it seems the only way to claw out of the hole they’re being shoved into. It’s turned into a lottery wish.

Jokes on you, i grew up poor and never had an expectation of shit.

Ah, so he’s hit the age where you don’t bounce back so well and now he’s losing his shit over the perceivable reality of mortality.

Eat some fucking fruit, musk.

Holy shit this is peak white cishet liberal lol

A good question to answer that one is to ask if they thing Queer is a slur.

It’s an attack on their perception of the community, not the community.

Fun fact: Service means citizenship. It’s not just limited to military, it’s any federal service.

The films and book just focused on the military side.

Came here for this!

The six 1 chickens are for RAID

He is uncomfortable when we are not about him

It’s a reference to a character in the film Idiocracy, who appends “brought to you by carl’s jnr” to every sentence because he gets paid for the mention. Even if it’s completely unrelated to what he just said.

It sounds like you are creating a scenario entirely out of whole cloth. The comment was made in context referring to a post that had an unrelated link attached to it.

Is that hyperlink a bad copy/paste or is there some connection there that I’m not understanding? <-- Literally your words here
