They’re still a little wobbly but they’re good enough.

This is what drunk dads say about their 1 year old son who’s just learning to walk.

I only have one laptop so my hobbies have to coexist on it.

And yet I see no pornhub sticker…

Didn’t even think of that. Changed it.

Can confirm. As far as my mom in 1998 knew, I didn’t have access to the internet. I needed the password to go on her Earthlink 56k internet account.

I’m 42 now, and my mom STILL thinks I never knew her password.

I’m 42 years old, and still remember it, because of how many times 15 year old me typed that in.

I guess I don’t need to “maintain” that lie anymore. I can’t imagine a scenario where my 70+ year old mother will ask me about that exact situation, or why it would matter today.

Am I the only one who finds this story laughable? As a mostly console gamer, if feels like Nintendo releases games for $70, and they NEVER drop in price.

If you can find a walmart that somehow still has PS2 and gamecube games, the PS2 game will probably be some sports game, and it’s been reduced to $0.10.

The Gamecube game will be some kirby game, and still 2002 MSRP of $60.

Meanwhile over on steam, they’re like:

"Ok, this is a AAA game, came out in 2025, MSRP is $60, but we’re running a sale to pick it up for $5.

Also, here’s a shitton of free games. Go nuts."

It would just get lazy, drink all your booze, and tell you to bite his shiny robot ass.

“If your last name ends in ‘in’, it’s time to get out.”

See? Even friends of satan think comcast is too evil.

Then that is a very misleading title.

You have put waaaaaaaaay more thought than I thought possible into staying dry during a workout.

Come to my gym. It’s like 10 degrees in there. I’ve never sweat.

You were a teen in the late PS2 days, but still got tricked by nude samus??? I’m so confused by your timeline. I was a kid in the NES era, but still heard the samus stuff in the 80s. By 1990 we knew it was BS.

I was in my 20s by PS2 late stage.

Unless you wanted some…hot coffee.

Because humans don’t think the way you do. You think “well if everyone just did the thing I like, then the thing I like would work”.

Meanwhile, each individual person is a highly complex series of thoughts, emotions, and opinions that change with time. And that’s just 1 person. There are BILLIONS of people on this planet. Each one unique. Each one thinking their own set of thoughts.

But the majority just go with whatever has the least resistance. Youtube is established. Youtube is the default content provider. Therefore it doesn’t matter if there’s a better option. This one requires no effort on their part to find content.

Peertube is decentralized. Which means it has no way to ever formulate a plan to gain popularity, or even plan things. You run your own instance, host your own content, and deal with your own issues.

But what if someone else hosts their own instance with offensive content? Can’t shut them down. They host their own content. There is no overseeing board to enforce rules.

And theres no way to make money either. The top youtubers don’t see youtube as a hobby. They see it as a job. Now imagine going to your job, and your boss tells you that they’re switching platforms, and this new platform has no money to pay you. Would you stay?

So you need a coordinated effort, with no plan for profit, on a service that needs to be built up from the ground up, for an audience that doesn’t exist yet.

Forget “why not improve peertube?” the real question is “what motivation would anyone have to do so?”

This was in Pittsburgh, and from what I gather captures the experience of the life of a Jewish teenager in the twenties and thirties pretty well.

Yeah, location is key to that sentence. Jews in the 1930s in Germany had a very…different experience.

…have you been to peertube?

When you were in high school, did your teachers mistake your homework submission for the phone book purely based on number of pages?

I know the bottom one is puff daddy, and he’s in jail now. Who’s the blonde?

Hey! Whoa! That’s not fair to say at all, and completely untrue!

…the government also now murders innocent people in the streets!

Oh no! Bing got to this guy too!
