Someone says that at work at least once a week.

The dude abides.

Could you please let it go, at least for a little while? We’re going through enough stress at the moment without playing Captain Midnight’s Decoder Ring on all your comments.

You can go back to being a special little butterfly… well, not when things go back to normal - that may never happen - but, how about giving the rest of Lemmy a break for a week or so?

Pretty please?

…I think I’d rather be Zeus’s type than Yahweh’s…

A little from column A, a little from column B? ;-)

I was seriously considering joining the French Foreign Legion, until I learned I was too old for them. Ugh.

Save your breath. We exist in the rarified space that is “aware-American” that GwammarPowice can’t acknowledge because MericaBad. The immediate future looks grim.

I have NEVER wanted to be wrong more than in this very instant… but I’ve also never been more scared that we’re all right: Hitler 2.0 is about to make life suck for 99% of the population of the planet.

Ask us again in four years… I fucking hope.

Holy fuck! Can I get whatever drugs you’re on?

Right?

I know a few Jacks (and a Jaques and 2 Jacobs) and, according to that wiki page, my experience is typical.

Copper pipes only need replacing that often if a) you cheaped out on construction and used the thinnest kind (M-type, which isn’t even legal in some states), and b) you had some pressure issue along the way that left the pipes only partially full of water for a time.

God damn, it’s been a while since I’ve crossed paths with an honest-to-god rube! Keep on keepin’ on, you flickering bulb.

…and yet, as evidenced by the many back-and-forth discussions in this very thread, plenty of people do care enough to reread older texts and workshop theories to explain the discrepancy. YOU think that no one cares because YOU don’t care, but you are clearly wrong.

Not every method of viewing Lemmy shows things like that… all I see is “muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee,” no flags or whatever. Thankfully, I have a good memory - so I’ll be able to remember that you’re an international twat.

Is your skin this thin in real life, or only online?

I’d hazard a guess that they’re just taking pity on you for not having an older fridge. Many appliances made 25+ years ago are still working just fine, perhaps with a bit of maintenance, but nothing made in this century is built to last.

My mom’s fridge is over 30 years old, as are her washer and dryer, and all three are just chugging along like champs. My refrigerator is just about 25 years old and the only thing wrong with it is the gasket on the lower door needs to be replaced soon.
