Ah so more market manipulation… got it. Jesus I hate this douchebag.

Jesus… it’s like piranhas devouring a carcass. That women using the plate as a shovel… gees.
- Comment on Anti-spying phone pouches offered to EU lawmakers for trip to Hungary 5 days ago:
Just turn it off. Putting it into these faraday pouches is going to turn the phone into molten goo (if a phone can’t get signal, it keeps turning up the radio’s volume to get a signal)
- Comment on Unlike in movies, most smart people aren't good in chess. 6 days ago:
I consider myself reasonably intelligent but I also have ADHD so … I completely suck at chess.
- Comment on Nintendo ‘warned to expect 145% tariff on Nintendo Switch 2’ 1 week ago:
Yeah I didn’t wanna pay that for a PS5. And the PS5 GPU alone is likely 5 times more power then what’s rumored to be in the switch 2… no way I’m paying that for a switch.

They weren’t war plans. They were attack plans. /s 🤦♂️
- Comment on Switch 2 preorders delayed over Trump tariff uncertainty 2 weeks ago:
I actually kinda think it was intentional. Any business savvy person knew these tariffs were coming and that they would be disruptive especially to something like the Switch 2.

It’s not marketing. It’s a targeted campaign to intertwine the two… oh wait yeahs it’s marketing 🤣
- Comment on Sen. Schumer: 'My Job is to Keep the Left Pro-Israel' 3 weeks ago:
I mean how is it much different than “I hate Trump and Elon” but I don’t hate Americans … (well I am an American but still).

I’m so confused. The dog is heroic just be being able to not eat the ham on his face.

I gotta comment on the mid 70s thing and how great it is to hear that. I have also been into computers since the late 70s (well and early 80s) although I imagine I got started a little younger than you … like I was 8 and writing basic/ assembly on my various machines back in the day (TRS-80 Model III, Tandy CoCo 2, Coleco Adam, C64). So I’m only mid 50s and I thought I was the old guy around here :) But damn if you don’t give me hope that I can stay like this for many years to come.

I’m not sure “Reddit levels of activity” is necessarily a good thing :)
But yeah that takes some getting used to for sure. I would think this is one of the more popular communities here for kinda obvious reasons given the nature of Lemmy. I’ve only been here since the first great migration but I’ve already seen Lemmy in general grow tremendously.

No it isn’t … 😂 (I’m in the same boat by the way).
If you can injure yourself sleeping, you are NOT younger… 🤣

I’m 54 so not that young but I find myself watching more very specific videos of subjects I’m interested in than more mainstream movies or tv shows. I mean occasionally I’ll watch a movie or show but probably 90% of the time I’m watching content creators on YouTube or the like.
