My favorite part is when it’s over and all the fake cheer dissolves.

(problem with ARP tables or something)

If I had a nickel for every time clearing the ARP tables fixed something, I’d have a shitload of nickels.

But the security better be truly sociopathic

I mean… the industry tends to attract a certain type.

I wouldn’t touch Reddit’s all with someone else’s ten foot pole. But there’s hardly any posts in my subbed feed (niche interest ghost towns for the most part), so Lemmy’s all is where the content is.

Wow, that is a deep cut. I remember playing it (I think I still have the cart) but I barely remember anything beyond enjoying it for a bit.

Not a whole lot, but it’s better than just my subbed feed. (Mostly niche interests far from any sort of critical mass.)

Have you tried not being injured?

Huh, I thought this form factor only came in faux wood grain.

I picked the wrong week to stop huffing hairspray.

If it was 20, maybe even 10 years later, I might have been diagnosed with ADHD as a child. But I wasn’t disruptive and I scored extremely well on tests. In the 80s, that overruled pretty much everything else. And when I had trouble later, it was because I was “lazy.” This is why I dislike the narrative that “gifted means everything came easily until it didn’t and then they failed because they didn’t face hardship.” I didn’t have trouble because I wasn’t challenged. I had trouble because I had undiagnosed ADHD and autism, but got slapped with the lazy label early and often. Nothing I did was ever enough, and I was told my whole life that I just wasn’t trying hard enough. All because I learned to read before kindergarten and scored in the 99th percentile on standardized testing.

Meanwhile, the 5-6 people from my elementary gifted classes that graduated with me all kept excelling through school and into their careers. Which also contradicts the easy narrative that sprang up around “gifted.” Not sure how many of them had concurrent neurodivergencies… but I was the weird one even among the weird kids lol.

I just realized that the examples in the meme leave out an important part of the ensemble: calf-high white tube socks with multicolor bands at the top.

If you’re gonna rock it, rock it all the way.
