Let this be the hour when we draw (curved) swords together.

It’s “Mr. Joshua”, aka Pants (or Pantspants). I have no idea why he never signs or watermarks his comics.

That sounds like some Lovecraftian story: briefly glimpsing knowledge beyond human limits, then losing it forever.

Your training is finally complete.

If you find one, I want to know too. This would be a fun customization.

This comment section is the first time I’ve seen the word, and it’s been multiple times.

Looks like it originated from this 5 year old reddit post:

I think more than one of them were like this! I just ripped a bunch of old DVDs to my Jellyfin server, and for some movies, I had to first run it in VLC to double-check that I was ripping the right track, which meant navigating through that nonsense… I remember doing it with multiple HP discs.

This takes me back.

Public chatrooms were everywhere too. It was just the default, anywhere you went. AOL, yahoo games, random websites for no reason.

Even as late as Starcraft 2 (so 2010-), you’d open the game and immediately be dropped into a giant public chatroom on the home screen with everyone else currently playing.

That’s amazing. It doesn’t seem crazy these days to meet your spouse online, but I know y’all must have gotten some funny reactions telling people back then.

That’s just hard to fathom for me. Wow.

Please tell me that people aren’t clicking ads…

I didn’t grow up quite that rural, but close enough that this comment is making me nostalgic.

Lol, maybe if it was 1980.

Yeah, 20-somethings do NOT need to despair, although I would also add: make it a priority if love is something you truly want to find.

I see lots of people talk like this while not taking any active steps, as if the love of their life is going to knock on their door and tell them to stop scrolling and marry them.

Thank you for the new word.

Oh god, that’s horrible!

Oh, I hadn’t seen it before. I can remove if it’s a recent repost.

I’m real! I’ve been posting daily here for quite a while now. Just my way of trying to support federated social media.
