  • One summer when I was a teenager, my friends and I decided to take a road trip to the next town over. We packed up my old beat-up car and set off, eager for a day of adventure and mischief. As we cruised down the highway, windows down and music blaring, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of freedom and excitement. Little did I know that our carefree jaunt would take an unexpected turn in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.

    Same here. Raised by fundamentalist catholics. Its funny you mention pumping gas though haha. I couldn’t pump gas because my cousin did once and got soaked in gas. I learned decades later its because he wasn’t supposed to pump the gas but did anyway when no one was watching and squeezed the handle as he pulled it out of the pump and sprayed it everywhere.

    I couldn’t play Magic: The Gathering because you “summoned” monsters and that meant summoning demons to my mom. Same story with YuGiOh and Pokemon.

    Halloween was the devils holiday and was a somber affair. I wasn’t allowed to go trick or treating until I was like 10 or 11 or something. I think I eventually wore them down.

    Harry Potter was the work of Satan and was going to force me to be wiccan and eat babies or something. I literally had to read it in secret like Harry studying magic with his aunt and uncle. My parents weren’t abusive like Petunia and Vernon, but I related a lot to Harry’s oppression.

    I had several straight crushes in middle/high school that I wasn’t allowed to date or even really talk to.

    There’s probably a lot more that I’ve finally been able to forget.

    That’s not even getting into all the abuse I endured as an LGBT teen.


  • You know, I’ve heard a lot of good things about Helix; if it gets more people using modal editors then I’m all for it. Personally though, I haven’t seen a convincing reason to leave Vim yet.

    The biggest reason though is that my editor works literally everywhere. Even without my custom vimrc, vanilla vim is hugely powerful, and to have that on every random server I need to access is a gamechanger for me. Even if all you have is Vi, you still have a very capable editor available.

    I mean uh… Crushed by a boulder! Which on Lemmy means you’ll be downvoted into oblivion until they run you off the instance haha.

    This is a really stupid question but how are these supposed to work? Do you just shove it under your butthole and spray away?

    I visited Dubai once and wasn’t sure how to use these lol. One time I tried it and it hydroblasted my asshole. I told one of the other foreigners I was with and they laughed at me because they said that was just to spray down shitstains on the toilet. That happened at the end of my trip and I never got to ask someone who knew wtf they were talking about :(

    So now I have no idea wtf they’re for.
