Come on man, it’s just a show, you should really just relax

I had a plastic brontosaurus toy as a kid that I loved. It had a weird chemical smell to it. 30+ years later, when I hear “brontosaurus” I instantly and vividly swear I can smell it
Totally missed that, lol
This has powerful New Yorker vibes
Years ago, when projectors were common in conference rooms. Someone was giving a practice presentation before the real deal in front of 80+ audience members. It was just our team of 8 or so the room for the dry run. In the middle of the presentation, there was a terrifyingly loud POP sound as the bulb blew out in the projector. It scared the shit out of everyone in the room. We all laughed after the initial shock wore off.
One of my coworkers stepped up on a table to take a look at it. I was near him and I waited for silence in the room while he was fucking with the thing, and clapped my hands together very loudly, simulating the previous scare. He let out a shriek of terror and clutched his chest. Everyone laughed. Eventually he laughed as well, but said something like “damn, that scared me.” Within a week he had a legit heart attack.
He was ultimately okay, but I still think about it. I know I didn’t cause it, but for a long time I couldn’t shake the guilty feeling that I contributed to it. Oops. Sorry Ken.
Counterpoint: Considering the scale of Lemmy compared to reddit, it’s hard to strike a chord. Suspend your doubt and keep making music jokes on a regular cadence. Someday you’ll hit the right tempo and and reach harmony with other users who recognize it as your signature style.
Phonetically, it’s exactly right, but It visually reads like the name of a Vulcan side character from an episode of star trek
Surprisingly, porcupines and hedgehogs are not closely related
Just like with everything else that people make into a lifestyle or part of their identity. Most are cool, but there’s always a vocal minority of dillweeds that take it way too seriously or use it to judge others that aren’t part of their pack.
Salinger is a classic example of this. One of the most celebrated authors of all time. He really only wrote one full novel and then essentially disappeared from public view. Despite this I don’t think anyone would consider him a failed writer by any definition
What’s it like in other countries for business owners? Because in the US, if you own a business (even a small one where you are the only employee) and try to do your taxes on your own, may god have mercy on your soul. Even doing it through an accountant is a total pain in the ass
Hardcore boomer humor
God I hate marketing bullshit like this.

I drove a '73 Super Beetle in the early 2000s for years and actually never once witnessed it happening unfortunately. I did take comfort in knowing it was happening all around me though.
The other nice thing about driving it was seeing other Beetle owners on the road and exchanging peace signs.
That game whips ass.
It’s a pretty different game, but another deck builder I’ve become obsessed with lately is Balatro. I highly recommend it
Wtf is green bacon?!
Fair enough. I actually respect it and think it might make for a nicer community if more people did it. It’s just so hard for me to relate as someone who has engaged in communities like this for 20+ years completely anonymously.
Me too. It was one of my favorite subs before I cut out reddit
