Resol van Lemmy

Good job. Also, the fact that they couldn’t just, idk, play one of his past performances and using that for the final instead of pretending he never even existed is a bit weird.

I’ve never touched alcohol in my life outside of cleaning purposes (I mean isopropyl alcohol, or as I like to call it, icy prope). And to be honest, you’ve convinced me to remain teetotal.

However, I always have the feeling I wanted to try out some drinks just for that taste but can’t because it’s got some of that الكحول in it. And there are very few non-alcoholic alternatives for these drinks. The only one I’ve tried is a virgin mojito (in my country it’s sometimes referred to as just “mojito” because it’s the only one we know). And honestly, it tastes great. And then there’s the fact that I can’t make my own vanilla extract. You need ethanol for that, and I just have this fear of putting it in my body because I don’t wanna get addicted to it.

I’ve always treated alcohol like drugs and tobacco. They feel fun, and you want more, but it will knock you out when you least expect it.

What better way to demonstrate international simultaneous television broadcasting than with an annual song competition? It’s quite literally the only reason why I turn on my telly anymore.

The only thing I hate about it is the fact that it can get quite political, and it certainly results in often very depressing controversy. Last year was a prime example of this.

But still, the tech behind it was and continues to be just so cool. Thanks, Switzerland.

Not even Israel is safe for Jews anymore.

I love that ability. I always want greedy billionaires and hateful politicians to be made a fool of. Now I can do it with comedy.

No violence and death, just lots of dookies. Oh this is so fun.

Those Mac vs PC ads need to return.

Friendly reminder: before people liked XP, people hated XP. Much of the criticism that applied to Vista at launch also applied to XP. Guess which one is looked back at more fondly.

And I actually thought Vista was good. Leagues better than XP even. It served me well for 3 years. Now I don’t even use Windows anymore.

What a shame. It’s almost like the biggest companies make the worst crap or something.

That too is pretty accurate.

I miss when it was a luxury. Pretty fun times if you ask me.

It’s the only one that let’s you play as two racers at a time. No other game in the series does this.

So the answer is yes.

And just when I thought the Taliban’s laws against women were too extreme already, they decide to do this. They quite literally can stoop way lower than I thought.

I feel so bad. Thanks for ruining my first day of 2025, Taliban.

The Jerboa Lemmy client, and Mastodon’s official client. I think they’re both fine enough for my fediverse browsing needs.

While I am trying to use the internet less since the past 2 years or so, I will freak out if it ceases to exist completely.

“Be yourself.” is an excellent summary of your post description.

Fun fact: I deleted Twitter exactly 23 days before it was renamed to X. I was just tired of scrolling through drama.

“Dammit, my tape is stuck inside the VCR again!”

“99 cents for a song? Hell yeah. I’m never buying CDs again.” (A reference to the iTunes Music Store launch)

“I ran out of free AOL time. Better get another demo disc”

Speaking of AOL, “yo, what’s your AIM screenname?” (Replace “AIM” with your favorite messaging service at the time if you used that)

“Mom, can I have a PlayStation 2? -No. -But it plays DVDs.”

“Oh, I can’t wait to see the wonderful New York Twin Towers, I’m so excited for what’s coming!” (I was too young to even remember the concept of different countries existing so I had no idea what “America” even was, let alone being confused about 9/11)

“I got slimed. It was so. Much. Fun.”

“I’m so glad the United Kingdom won Eurovision, I can’t wait to see how the next year’s contest will turn out. Katrina was so amazing” (1997 was the last time the UK won)

“What a wonderful Saturday morning. Time to watch some cartoons.”

“My phone has a NiCd battery, and it’s almost out of juice so I can’t just plug it in because I will ruin the battery. I have to wait until it literally turns off.”

“Belgrade is the capital of Yugoslavia”

“Finally got my fresh new copy of Mac OS X. Time to see what’s it’s like.” proceeds to stay on OS 9 for a few more years

That’s all I can think of.

Actually starting to learn music production. I’ve had this passion for so long yet laziness has prevented me from developing it.

They literally acquired the Alien Blue client, which at the time was the best Reddit client according to many people, and used it as the base for their official client. How on earth did they fuck it up this badly??

I never used Apollo since I was stuck on Android. But I still wish I had the chance to use it while it was available.

I have a very similar experience, I only left because I noticed just how awful the website has turned by the time the API fiasco happened, and I was definitely getting a bit addicted to the website so leaving essentially made me combat this addiction. I haven’t logged into Lemmy for over a month. Yeah, it has definitely helped me cut down on social media usage.
