If that guy is in his 40's he has lived a hard life. I'm surprised he is still conscious let alone mobile.


My fan broke.


It's gone through 7 layer burritos of hell so I can't be mad. Farewell soldier.

Fortunately my bed is right by the bathroom and that has a fan. Not the same, but good enough.

Hey this is actually a really good idea. Thanks!

Honestly, I hard disagree. Texting is so inefficient. If I want to have a conversation with someone, I just call them. It's so much easier to just get everything sorted all out at once instead of trying to send messages back and forth and you get distracted and forget to reply. Meh. You can so easily turn a conversation that takes hours, sometimes days into a 2 minute phone call

Texting is great for some things, but you lose a lot in translation. I have seen a lot of arguments that happen over text that would not happened on a voice call.
in reply to weastie

I understand your point but every single person that said that to me was unable to form their message neatly and efficiently.

No hello. No asking if it's okay to ask. Write concisely, state all your questions in first message, drop the masquarade of niceness. People who use that get similiar response - and without the awkward call-like "gimmie a sec, need to check" or worse "let me circle back to it later". As soon as I get the info, you have it. In the meanwhile, you can focus on something else.

Not saying this applies to you though - simply yoir comment caused a flood of bad memories of call-centric people being unable to use messages, mostly due to laziness.

Nice. Today's "SLAM Award" goes to truthout. Excellent job everyone.
in reply to TachyonTele

Pretty soon the word SLAM is mean "to gently prod in a meek and inconsequential manner"

it is irresistible to the redditor mind to complain about the word slam in a title of an article

Yes. Reading the news and recognizing the over use of a description is something only a person on reddit is able to do.

I kinda want a SLAM shirt the same way I want a D.A.R.E. shirt at this point

Not as irresistible as reporters using it as if it carries weight.

“I am a jelly donut.”

— President John F. Kennedy Jr.

in reply to disguy_ovahea

Is there a way to say you're a "Berliner" or can you only say "from Berlin"?
in reply to kambusha

That’s technically what he said, but a donut called krapfen is also very commonly called a Berliner. I am from Berlin (Ich komme aus Berlin) is the more common way to say it.

So he wasn’t really wrong, so much as it was funny colloquially.

You can say Berlinican, Berlinese, or Berlinish.

You won’t be right but you can say them.

in reply to kambusha

People from Berlin call themselves Berliners, nobody thinks they mean the donut.

While I always thought Zuckerberg was farther to the right than Obama and Biden, shifting this dramatically to the right is startling. Perhaps condoning state influence over social media leads to those platforms conforming to the views of whoever the president is.
