Oh no, I get you. I think we are a similar age.

I was at the Reading Festival in '96 and I think offspring were playing.

There was a slightly older guy stood in the middle of the crowd shouting, you call this punk… This ain’t punk. This ain’t shit.

The kids were laughing at him.

This week in Glasgow Green Day played a gig and all I saw was middle aged men and their daughters wearing matching merch t-shirts.

I’m assuming at some point I travel back in time to '96 to try to stop this.

She may be a Puncke: for many of them, are neither Maid, Widow, nor Wife.

Damn, you really old.

Mate, I haven’t forgiven them for google reader.

They killed my boy.

Related to another popular post right now…so what was Bruce Dickinson’s ancestor?

It’s 1994. The Bosnian-Serbian conflict is still raging. Some cool dude from the UN peace keepers thinks it would be good to have a concert.

He contacts Bruce Dickinson and says, “wanna play a much needed gig in a warzone?”

Bruce says, “yes”.

Here’s the documentary.

Adore the darktable gang.

I’m gen-x and I am at the point where I don’t know if I say anything unironically any more.

(But you are spot on, slang is there, always, and it mutates as it is needed, but it isnt generational so much as sociopolitical and regional.)

Nah, its for “grizzled tanman”. You oldies just don’t get it.

That hair though.

C’mon man, it’s time to get a coverage appropriate cut or just shave it altogether.

He looks like a boiled sweet that’s been dropped on the carpet.

I once made a music video for Sony Universal.

They paid me £4k.

They liked it a lot and asked if I would do another. I asked if the fee was the same and they said I’d be doing it for exposure.

I told them I’m capable of exposing myself.

I stuck it to them.

I’m still poor, but at least I’m not working for it.

All my heart still belongs to the canon HV20 forum. It taught me how to film, it taught me how to chat to people in an online community.

It was never about a camcorder. It was about connection.

Plus, you could search for stuff on google and the forum results would pop up. Good look with discord doing that.

Mate, it’s just one accent. A mono-accent across an entire country. People from Glasgow and Edinburgh sound exactly the same… Can’t tell them apart. And if you go to Wick, right at the top, same. It’s wild.

I don’t want to have to add a /s but I just know some fud is going to comment “well ackshurly”.

Love how this story grows arms and legs. It was actually a Jimmy Carr joke that folk pretend was real.

Dunno, just feels like a vague statement with no real evidence.

Sort of like, “you wouldn’t know my girlfriend, she goes to a different school”.

Really, which scientists?

The comment section of that video demonstrates why many people ate put off by the Linux community.

Sure, the guy made a bad call on manjaro, but the weird smug comments and toxicity as a response seems disproportionate.

The arch userbase pretending they did something more difficult than follow a recipe.

Hey maybe we can have a clusterfuck of our very own!

If by us, you mean American christians, then sure.

Wait… The very notion of the seven deadly sins is a Christian construct… It only really applies to us anyway…

Ah. My bad. Carry on.

Pretent

Before you tent.

Foretent.

Right you are g’vnor
