I thought about the numbers too. I would say dozens go as high as like 150, because beyond that you can round up to 200, which is now hundreds, but before that runs down to 100, and nobody wins say The US sent hundred of troops…

I live in Jersey (New). As a background, I’m at the edge of civilization, I like to joke. If you go west of me, there’s farms, what we call mountains, hiking, all that kinda stuff. To the east of me, it gets more and more urban until you get to NYC.

Here are my walking distances:

• To the nearest convenience store: half a mile
• To the nearest chain supermarket: 1 mile
• To the bus stop: half a mile
• To the nearest park: quarter mile
• To the nearest big supermarket: 1 mile (same as above)
• To the nearest library: I am 1 mile from two different libraries, pretty much smack in the middle.
• To the nearest train station: 1 mile

Adding:

• To the nearest mall: 1 mile
• To the nearest gym: quarter mile
• To the nearest hospital: 1.1 miles
• To the nearest ice cream parlor: .9 miles
• To the nearest record store: .9 miles
• To the nearest arcade: .9 miles

Straight-line distance to Big Ben: Just shy of 3500 miles. Straight-line distance to the Statue of Liberty: 30 miles

Sprinkle in a little incest and we are good to go.

I also have no idea, I thought it was all halves of halves.

I would almost be okay with a proffer that it is bots asking the questions, but that the discourse is between human beings. That’s all I really care about. It’s rare that I respond directly to OP, or at least I do so less frequently than I’m responding to someone in the comments.

I remember back in the early days on forums, sometimes they’d just feel dead, and it was mainly a lack of content (threads). Once a thread would open, us morons behind keyboards could talk it to death, or more likely just divert in perpetuity.

The only redeeming quality about trump is he seems to be against the status quo of Republican/Democrat governance. Obviously he’s all sorts of fucking wrong in every way, but the way things have trended with Republicans and Democrats has not made the lives of average Americans better.

Someone said (and I’m terrible at remembering things like who) that Republicans make rules to benefit the rich, and Democrats make rules to benefit the poor and the rich. That is the status quo that we are left with. And right now, it’s unfortunately the status quo that I’m rooting for, because the alternative is worse.

Yeah, Hezbollah absolutely fired their IT guy after the second time it happened.

The description is the best part for me. It’s got me thoroughly scratching my head wondering if OP is some AI, but they’re here in the comments with us and clearly not.

Bout to dive into some Oreos though myself.

I’ve done this with a brand new tub, slipped between the tire and the rim and I just missed it, and it happens quick. Not exactly a grenade, only know that from having been near them too, but loud enough to snap your head real fast.

Yeah, that’s where I check out. I’m a guy. I know and interact with women. Sometimes I wanna be like Hey, nice dress, because it’s a nice dress, not because I’m thinking about abandoning my kids and leaving my wife over it. Instead I say nothing, because I understand that we live in a time where it might be misconstrued as sexual harassment. It’s dumb.

Bring back the supercharged Dodge Car-a-Van and we have ourselves a deal.

Eh, I save rude for the second “Leave.” It’s a human being on the other side of the door. Half the time it’s some kid who just needed a job summer before college. I say hey, I don’t want solar panels right now, have a nice day.

Now, when you tell me to wait, as you stand on my porch, then I’m going to tell you to get off my porch. I still say please though, because my kids might be listening, and I strive to use good manners in all my interactions, in the hopes they will too. You can be firm and polite.

Sure, not suggesting there are none. In fact, it’s totally feeling, and a poll might shed some light on it, but sometimes I just like to guesstimate.

Midnight Club was my absolute jam back in the mid oughts, loved the shit out of that game. Kinda got away from the Arcade style racers, but that game has a special place for me.

I’m also 37 and I can’t decipher between which ones are real and which ones are made up at this point, and I’m totally okay with it. Where do you, personally, get exposure to this language? My assumption is gaming but I have no idea. I’m not sure what I stopped doing that I’m so out of touch (other than I stopped being cool (a long time ago)).

I assume the most represented generation on Lemmy are millennials, with Z (and apparently Alpha are old enough) being underrepresented. I’d say X is probably underrepresented as well, but less so than younger. I like to think Lemmy is out here on the cutting edge, but I’m old so I’m probably wrong.

Excellent fucking work, wow. This was like 2002-2003, around there, and so we’re twp-plus decades back here. Keep doing whatever you’re doing, it’s working.

I’ll edit too: I may have attributed some negativity to Maddox (although I think he was a self-proclaimed asshole), but Tucker Max is the one who for sure went a bit off the deep end, I recall he ended up writing a book. Pretty much just frat guy personified.

Was gonna say, dude has no hair; his body is just a rectangle. Headbanging, I’ll give it a maybe.

My kids are young and so it’s just a given they’re going to smudge my shit. One day…

We have the freedom to pay more!

Your memory is certainly better than mine. I’m happy enough to have drawn a link between the two. My visits to Maddox’s site coincided with the beginnings of my experimentation phase, so I appreciate anything that made it out the other side.

Despite how we might perceive Maddox in the modern day, the site was such a good representation of what the Internet looked like then. That was what content looked like.

I always end up feeling nostalgic when I talk about it.
