The realization that we probably wouldn’t change how we are make me a bit glad we missed the chance to be a spacefaring civilization and are screwed here. The universe didn’t need that, one planet ruined is enough.

And there it is. slow clap

Time is by far my favorite. Took listening to it as an adult for it to click, as a kid you were there for the music. Some young adults get it the first time though, and the look on their faces when they do…

Forgot the replies from both the original requester as well as a number of other people who state this didn’t work at all, or isn’t remotely close to what they were asking. The 7 people who marked this as helpful must be other Microsoft “experts” giving their own useless help. And what I really love is how if I get to this page a simple back click won’t get me out, I have to pull down the history to go back to the search page because they have a reload loop built in to trap you.

I’m surprised this distraction is so long-lived. People really are gullible. Perhaps it’s because most people are familiar with McDs but can’t relate to CEO level people, so they’re more willing to join in an attack on something they understand.

For anyone thinking I’m defending McDs somehow…you’re missing the point entirely. Which is interestingly my point…

It’s like the story of the frog and scorpion crossing the river.

Y’all…People my age who did vote for him deserve your rant, especially since they’ve known both Republicans and Trump for decades. But we all aren’t that gullible.

My X-Gen brain still reads “woke” as the opposite of “asleep”, even in its slang version. So some of us are woke, we’re just tired of not getting anywhere after all this time. So in the spirit of the comic and societal collapse, I’ll stick with my “whatever”.

Can’t answer when we were forgotten about again. IF we had been asked we would have replied, “meh, whatever.”

Some of us “old timers” have a foot in both worlds. I grew up with some cars like this, but also with the birth of computers, so I can appreciate the old and new. I will admit keeping up these days is hard and I don’t know much of what’s out there, but I feel I can understand the basics and not be totally lost.

My dad on the other hand was genius with mechanical stuff. Could rebuild an engine, weld, draw up plans and construct things, including a house. He was totally lost in the computer world though, including the idea of the internet, no matter how much I dumbed it down or used analogies.

I’ve also seen younger people at work who can work a smart phone like magic, yet also would not know how to restart a router or recover from/avoid a computer virus.

That was the fascinating part. Only by actually using one you could feel it pull to the station via a literal string inside. Apparently (some/most) auto sunroofs work in a similar way, and you do not want to break that cord.

Content is far more important than spelling as long as the point gets across well enough. I’ve done the same as you only long before when shortcuts like R and U were introduced and persisted. Picking out grammar and spelling errors instead of discussing the topic means you don’t have anything to contribute TO the topic, and lack of content is far worse of a crime than odd spellings.

I have corrected spelling or grammar before, but only as a side note to be helpful, not to ridicule.

Wouldn’t happen in the US. Instead they’d change the workload of the employees that were most problematic based on the survey to the point where they weren’t doing a good job anymore, and then let them go due to inability to perform.

All healthcare, including mental well being, should be separate from a job because of this.

I gave my technically illiterate father a led mouse for Christmas just as they became the normal, and it was like a miracle to him.

If we stop doing the cat thing, the internet is truly dead.

What, charging for access to something that has minimized their front labor needs? Are they going to still stay with just one cashier open a time even during rush periods?

And for some reason they now restrict to only a few of the many self checkout registers at a time. Like they have ten counters, and I get sometimes one may be not working…but they only have three open at a time with a long line forming for self checkout. I’m not sure what the goal is there.

I think it’s far better to find someone you can relate to via their personality first. Everyone has their flaws, so if you’re weeding people out first from appearance and then trying to find the person inside to match, that’s killing your odds a lot. That being said, you can hit it off seeing someone first and then learning more about them, but I think that’s more true in real life where you can pick up other signals that online visuals just aren’t going to do, and those subtle signs will filter your image of them, whereas if you had a picture of them online you might skip over.

However I have no experience in the dating game and am biased as I found my wife of 35 years online back in 1985. Rather she found me in randomly looking for someone to chat with and things went from there.

Not Arch though. It would say so.

Obi-Wan and Padme are by far the two likely ones, but there is a point where Anakin realizes he’s going down the wrong path while still not on the dark side, I believe when he kills Dooku. That’s one place as well.

That’s a very complicated way to spell “insecurity”.
