Its getting harder and harder to find a regular walmart anymore here in Texas. They seem to be all Supercenters or Neighborhood Markets (only groceries)

Does the TI monopoly extend to other states? Guess I never thought about it before, but was almost excited to see Casio’s could potentially be used elsewhere

Its the metal connectors between the bands/lines.

2 connectors = 1 signal (mono) + 1 ground

3 connectors = 2 signals (stereo) + 1 ground

I remember walking around Blockbuster and stumbling into what seems to be buddy cop movie starring him and Jay Leno

IMDb: : Collision Course https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097081/

Was never brave enough to watch it

Great, but why is 6’s name Sharon? lol

But do you remember YTMND? Like can you imagine trying to explain those memes to the kids online these days?

Nowadays its all about monetization :/

Lemmy is kinda refreshing and reminds me a lot of the early internet/reddit.

Yeah, charging is the main reason I skipped a Tesla 4-5 yrs ago and went for the Benz. Thought chargers were getting more ubiquitous and available enough for me to give it a shot this time around, but all these Tesla layoffs got me second-guessing that

I’m their prime demographic, currently car shopping to replace my wrecked Benz, and was leaning towards a Model 3 up until reading this headline lol. I guess I could still charge at home or if the network fails it could be purchased by another company?

Or I just avoid stressing about it altogether and get a normal car

I highly recommend watching The Territory: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt16378164/

Its a documentary following one of these indigenous tribes and the shit they have to go through in keeping their autonomy. Like its one thing for the government to say a certain land is theirs, but what are they supposed to do if a logging company starts cutting down their trees and the local law enforcement doesn’t care?

Oh man, we thought everything was so bad, turns out those were the good times

That could be covered by the 2nd definition, I just didn’t think it was relevant here:

ok boomer

From the dictionary:

an image, video, piece of text, etc., typically humorous in nature, that is copied and spread rapidly by internet users, often with slight variations.

Its exactly the part where it is copied and spread. It’s just an image macro until then.

A arbitrary comment or image isn’t a meme if nobody copies it and spreads it

Those are just image macros. Not every image macro becomes a meme

And not every meme is in the form of an image macro

Web 2.0 happened :/

It centralized control to a few large corporations and lowered the barrier to entry for users such that everything became a popularity contest for eyeballs. TikTok, reddit, facebook, youtube, instagram, OF, its all a brainless race for engagement

ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US
