A lot of this thread is hugely familiar and a nice memory.
I’ll just add one little thing I remember from 96/97ish, the “… ate my balls” phenomenon. I guess nowadays you’d call it a meme format.
The gist of it was that you would take some cultural icon/celebrity/whatever and add their name to the phrase “…ate my balls”.
For some reason I remember this as being hilarious at the time. Not so much when recounted in the here and now though :-)
Or take off and nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
Each to their own, but I always prefer the taste of beer from a bottle over beer from a can.
Have they? Can you give an example? Any NA beer I’ve bought (which is quite a bit) has been in standard beer bottles. Assuming you mean non-alcoholic, right?
Shudder…
It’s a work thing for me, I wouldn’t use it otherwise.
I find it useful for what it’s actually meant for, but they keep trying to force other functionality into it, it’s so frustrating.
Agreed, it’s infuriating. As are Skype’s continual efforts to get me to follow interest channels. Why can’t it just be a communications app, and leave it at that? Aaaaarrrggghhh!!!
I think that’s a massive over-generalisation to be honest. Women are just as capable at any of those things.
I’m not sure why you would want to look down on people who don’t know how to do a thing, but at least do it equally.
Why a man though - why not just a person?
What is it that means that men ought to be able to do those things, but not women?
Ha, fair point.
That looks amazing, and yeah, very Okami like. Hopefully no Issun though!
He can’t pardon himself for this one, it’s a State level crime, not a Federal one.
He can, because there’s no law against it. Probably nobody thought there’d ever need to be!
Definitely Grayson and the Argonauts, that’s a brilliant name.
Nice to hear Cissy Strut in there, you guys are good.
Agreed, it’s such a clickbaity tactic - makes it sound like they’re revealing some dark secret Google wanted kept hidden, when in fact it sounds like a small but useful change to improve customer experience, but not something that they would make a big deal out of.
Yeah, understood. Thanks again.
Wow, thanks for the detailed and nuanced insight. I’m sorry that something like that came into your life, and I hope you’re ok. Such a sad story.
I was still up for Portillo, back in 1997.
What an amazing night. I had never known anything but Conservative government, so to see those corrupt, selfish bastards swept away was absolutely joyous in a way that’s hard to fully capture in words.
Obviously the Blair government eventually completely fucked things up with Iraq, but at the time it felt like genuine liberation after years and years of sleaze and hatred.
And IMO things genuinely did change for the better in the UK with the Blair government, whether or not you agreed with every policy they had. Then Sept 11 happened, and Iraq and Afghanistan, and the world started going inexorably to shit, and it’s never really recovered.
I remember using Windows 3.1.
I’m so old.
I’m not that knowledgeable on either, but if I remember rightly you also have the choice of watching the TV Show as it was broadcast in the USA or as it was broadcast in the UK (and maybe elsewhere) - the main difference being that the USA one has a laugh track added.
I may have some of the details wrong, but just FYI.
