Lmao, I remember trying to do that dance and skinning my foot on a jagged floorboard

My friends’ parents were mad but in retrospect, sorta on them for having that janky floor

What if the malady is mere pain and inadequate well-being perception?

Covering edge cases in leetcode be like

Oh shit, I forgot they used to do unlimited minutes only to the same carrier, so long-distance gf and I had to coordinate our carrier choices

Oh is that why the first android phone was so good? I had a developer edition of that and it slapped. Keyboard was amazing

This was the very top of my “top 6 hours” feed. Checks out

Disengaged.

Quadrupled (probably) healthcare costs

I’ve heard of a black person being turned away at a bar by bouncers in Austria (which has similar culture to Bavaria), which is anecdotal. Also anecdotally, when I was there myself in the less-urban parts of Bavaria, I didn’t see any non-white people.

He comparatively never wanted to play Soul Calibur

!cico@lemmy.world feels this in their soul

I would go as far as to say completely ubiquitous.

I wonder what it would look like without these measures?

Back in My Day™, we had minimal MDM on the school computers.

Yes, the kids that wanted to fuck around (look at porn, download music, play games) fucked around, but they would have the old-fashioned way, anyway. The most common thing was just changing the desktop photo to a Lamborghini, or something. Anyway, we turned out…. Well… not necessarily ok, but I don’t fault the computers for lack thereof where applicable.

Admittedly, these weren’t personal laptops but just ones in the library or computer labs, but still.
