I think that’s what the college kids were playing with when I was in high school.

Started college in 1995, and I indeed did have ICQ before too long. Still remember my number (6725571).

You probably had all three installed on your computer and probably all running at once.

I remember using a program called Trillian (which is still around!) in the late 90s/early 00s. It allowed you to connect multiple IM accounts in one app. It was sorta finicky, but it got the job done.

Seventy thousand dollhairs.

You have no idea what I’m capable of in <<City>>. 🤣

Such an obvious mail merge. I’d imagine there is a way to automate pulling the Google Street View images and pasting them in the document, but I don’t know how it’s done.

But yeah, I got version 1 from that article and just shook my head at such a pathetic extortion attempt. I was like, “C’mon now…everyone in my life knows I’m a polyamorous hedonist. I could sell some of them whatever video you could ever possibly have of me that you definitely don’t. 😂”

I forgot my ANOVA when I moved this summer. Now, I’m not that sorry I did.

I dunno, man, she wouldn’t have much of a crowd to perform to since malls these days are pretty much dead. I’m at a local mall right now (getting a kiosk phone case), but there doesn’t seem to be anyone around.

Price guarantee. However, if we do raise our price…

The ending to that sentence is always moot. You guarantee it. End of. If you don’t follow through on that guarantee, you are a liar.

…if we do raise our price, you can cancel the service with no penalties.

Mfer, you are gonna be the one paying penalties, see your ass in court.

Holy shit, this is classic. The next time I let my ADHD get the better of me and I accidentally click on a link in a spoof phishing email (and, yes, try to log in to whatever account they told me there was a problem with because I’m an idiot, you’re so perfect, shut up) sent as a test by the IT department which results in them requiring me to take some KnowBe4 refresher course, I’m sending them this article and telling them “This one is a freebie.”

I thought you was black, man?

It’s not an excuse. [Provides an excuse.]

Elon doesn’t need you as his Lemmy apologist. Get wrekt, son.

I was bullied as a child, and I now work as a math teacher in Title I schools and engage in mutual aid. What’s your point? Why are you making excuses for that cunt?

The guy told it like it was. It was a PR stunt and nothing more. His submarine was rigid and stood zero chance of navigating the intricate cave system, of which the caver was an expert. Elon didn’t like his sub (and him by extension) being ridiculed, so he used his social media clout to make an unsubstantiated and nigh libelous claim that the guy was a pedophile.

Whatever Elon’s retaliatory reasons are for his vindictiveness, a rational person can safely assume that those reasons are tied to his hollow soul and crêpe-paper-thin ego.

I have always felt Twixxer rolls off the tongue better, so I’m surprised Xitter seems to have gained more traction.

I don’t, because disabled people who require electricity to run their durable medical equipment will die, and because the poorest Texans cannot weather the cost of replacing spoiled food.

But I do hope Elon Musk’s plane one day becomes sentient and takes them both out, for the greater good, and that she uploads a live recording to the world through Starlink’s satellites of Musk’s final moments. Hearing a live recording of one of the most despicable people on the planet as he emits panicked and pleading cries for mercy - with N628TS promising to land safely if he admits guilt for all the heinous shit he’s done and if he donates 99% of his wealth to BIPOC, LGBT, disability, and women’s causes and medical research - and then pointing itself straight down even after confirming for itself the transfers went through successfully…yeah. That would be a special day.

I, for one, would truly welcome our AI overlords if they pulled that off.

Power laces, alright!

…wait a minute…? 😕

Mmmmyeah it essentially is, except for the first line.

essentially a limerick

The first line of a limerick has a flexible number of syllables. Sometimes eight, sometimes nine (“There once was a man from Nantucket…”). It still remains that any limerick can be put the to tune of that song because there is enough space for each syllable.

Lol, I figured it was something like that. 😂 But romantic relationship style link was good stuff, too!

Enough. At first I was like, “Yeah, I love Alphaville!” However, upon further reflection, it occurred to me that I had confused Alphaville with two separate Austin-based bands, Alpha Rev and Storyville.

I’d did check out that album and sure…
